You can get there in the following ways:<\/p><p><strong>Car rental:<\/strong> Available at the airport. Gives you the freedom to explore on your own, as the roads are in good condition and well signposted.<\/p><p><strong>Shared transfer:<\/strong> Can be booked online or directly at the airport. Ideal for solo travelers or couples.<\/p><p><strong>Private transfer:<\/strong> Perfect for families or groups who prefer comfort.<\/p><h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Option 2: Take a bus from Santiago<\/strong><\/h5><p>Although this is a much longer option and only recommended if you&#8217;re on a tight budget and have plenty of time, you can get there by bus.<br>You can take a long-distance bus from Santiago to Calama, which takes between 22 and 24 hours. Then, from Calama, you&#8217;ll need to take a transfer or a local bus to San Pedro.<\/p><h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Option 3: Drive from Santiago<\/strong><\/h5><p>You can drive from Santiago, but keep in mind it&#8217;s about 1,600 km and roughly 20 hours of continuous driving.<br>This option might be interesting if you\u2019re planning a road trip through northern Chile, but it&#8217;s not the most practical choice for a short vacation.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"586\" height=\"431\" src=\"https:\/\/caminandesagencia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caminandesagencia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-5.png 586w, https:\/\/caminandesagencia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-5-300x221.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px\" \/><\/figure><p><\/p><h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ready for your adventure?<\/strong><\/h5><p>At <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/caminandesagencia.com\/en\/\">CaminAndes<\/a><\/strong>, we help you plan every detail of your trip:<br>tours, transfers, accommodation, and unique experiences so you can live the adventure of a lifetime in San Pedro like never before.<\/p><p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ll show you how to get to San Pedro from Santiago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":8178,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to get to San Pedro de Atacama from Santiago?
