One of the most comfortable over-night buses I had. Slept very well!
Bus was a bit late, and maybe a bigger breakfast could be served

Everything about the bus ride, its comfort, cleanliness, and crew was perfect except for 50 stops along the way for picking up and dropping off, causing an hour delay in our arrival time.

The bus stoped at Osorno station (we think) and some guy told everyone who going Santiago and Valparaiso that they should leave the bus (in Spanish!!). At first we didn’t understand and stayed in the bus. A
Minute after he came back and made us leave the bus. We didn’t understand why we where going to chance bus and he just said (in Spanish) that he would take care of our big luggage and then they drove off. And then we just stod there totally confused and didn’t know what to do with ourselves. No info - nothing! We talked to a woman and she didn’t seem to understand why we didn’t have our luggage, cuz everyone else had theirs. We didn’t know wether it has stolen or even where the bus was... Horrible way to start the trip! Luckily somebody who spoke English explained the situation for us (not the company!)

The buses were on time but for some reason the air conditioning didn’t function so it was outrageously hot for the majority of the trip. This can make for a very unpleasant 12 hour ride.
