It’s possible to access San Juan Pablo II Campus directly through Rudencindo Ortega Avenue, which is one of the main arteries of Temuco city. This can be done in different ways:

  • Public transportation: There are 2 local bus lines that reach the campus; line 7B and 10A. A one-way ticket costs 500 Chilean pesos (which has to be paid directly to the driver) and the approximate duration of a trip between downtown Temuco and the campus is around 30 to 40 minutes. You can check the complete itinerary of these and other buses in the following link:

  • Taxis: It’s also possible to reach the campus by hailing one of the many different taxis that roam the city. The campus is a well-known destination most taxi drivers are well acquainted with.
  • Uber: The Uber App is widely used in Temuco and neighboring cities to get around town. Service is exactly the same as in other parts of the world with its main perk being the ability to know how much a trip would cost before embarking on it.
