Common questions about Trains in Chile

What Trains routes are there in Chile?

We sell 412 Trains routes in Chile, serving 26 places, run by 5 operators. Every one of those routes has an operator that actually serves it, so the count is the network we can sell rather than every pair of places on a map.

How much do Trains tickets in Chile cost?

The cheapest Trains fare in Chile is €11.88 for one passenger, across the 412 routes we sell there. The median route runs 101 km in a straight line, which is the distance that fare should be read against before comparing it to anywhere else.

Can I travel out of Chile by Trains?

4 of the Trains routes we sell touching Chile cross a border and 408 stay inside it, reaching 1 other countries including Peru. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.

Which operators run Trains services in Chile?

5 operators run Trains services on routes we sell in Chile: EFE, EFE Central, EFE Sur, EFE/Corporación Patrimonio Ferroviario, FCTA. Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalogue, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.

What is the longest Trains route in Chile?

The longest Trains route we sell touching Chile runs from Chillán to Santiago, 374 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 101 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
