Book your private transfer

Traveling from San Martín de los Andes to Junín de los Andes is a short but scenic hop through Patagonia, and the way you do it can make a real difference to your day. Instead of waiting for a bus or negotiating a taxi on the spot, a private transfer picks you up right at your hotel and drops you off exactly where you need to be in Junín de los Andes, with no transfers, no luggage hassle and no guesswork about schedules.

Distance and travel time

San Martín de los Andes and Junín de los Andes sit about 40 km apart, connected by a paved road that runs along the edge of Lanín National Park. Under normal conditions the drive takes roughly one hour, though travel time can vary a little depending on traffic, weather, road works or how many stops you decide to make along the way. It’s a manageable distance, but it’s long enough that having a reliable, comfortable vehicle waiting for you makes the trip far more pleasant than watching the clock for a bus connection.

Why choose a private transfer over the bus, a taxi or renting a car

There are a few ways to cover this route, but a private transfer tends to be the most convenient option for most travelers:

• Door-to-door service: No walking to a bus terminal with your luggage or waiting around for a taxi to show up. Your driver meets you at your accommodation in San Martín de los Andes and takes you straight to your address in Junín de los Andes.
• Flexible departure time: Public buses run on a fixed schedule that may not match your plans. With a private transfer, you choose the time that works for you, whether that’s an early morning departure or a later start after breakfast.
• Comfort and space: Enjoy a private, air-conditioned vehicle with room for your bags, rather than sharing a crowded bus or squeezing into a small taxi.
• Photo and rest stops: The road between the two towns offers lake and mountain views. A private driver can pull over for a quick photo stop if you’d like, something that’s simply not possible on a scheduled bus.
• English-speaking driver: No language barrier and no need to explain your destination twice. Your driver knows the area and can answer questions about Junín de los Andes along the way.
• No navigation stress: Skip the hassle of renting a car, figuring out local road signage or worrying about where to park once you arrive.

What you’ll find in Junín de los Andes

Junín de los Andes sits about 40 km north of San Martín de los Andes and has a character of its own. It’s known as the national capital of fly fishing thanks to the Chimehuín River, which draws anglers from around the world for its trout waters. The town is also home to the Vía Christi, a series of hillside sculptures and murals depicting religious and cultural scenes, offering a peaceful walk with views over the surrounding valley.

Junín de los Andes is also the main gateway to Lanín National Park and the Lanín volcano, a striking, near-perfectly conical peak that dominates the regional landscape and is a popular destination for hiking and photography. Along the drive between the two towns you’ll pass close to Chapelco Airport (CPC), which sits roughly midway between San Martín de los Andes and Junín de los Andes, making this route a natural extension for travelers flying in or out of the region.
