How to Get From Capilla del Monte to Villa General Belgrano by Bus

Introduction

After you’ve spent a few days soaking up the mystical energy and trekking around Capilla del Monte, you’ll likely want to keep heading south through the Córdoba province. Your next stop? The charming, German-inspired village of Villa General Belgrano. At least, that’s the direction we took.

While the distance doesn’t look huge on a map, getting there by public transport requires a bit of patience and a transfer in Córdoba city. We spent some time at the terminal asking around to see if there was a direct way, but the answer was always the same: you have to go through Córdoba first.

Leg 1: Capilla del Monte to Córdoba

To start your journey, head to the bus terminal in Capilla del Monte. We recommend getting there a bit early, though don’t panic if you’re running a few minutes late. In Argentina, bus schedules are more like “suggestions.”

We actually arrived at 10:15 AM, thinking we had missed the 10:10 AM Sarmiento bus, but it didn’t show up until 10:30 AM! You can buy your tickets right at the counter. Expect to pay around 5 to 8 per ticket (plus a small fee for luggage).

What to expect on the bus: This part of the trip is more about “local flavor” than luxury. These buses are often old and can get very crowded, with people standing in the aisles. The AC might be weak, and the bathrooms are usually locked, so keep your expectations low for this 3.5-hour leg!

Leg 2: Córdoba to Villa General Belgrano

Once you arrive at the Córdoba terminal (around 2:10 PM if you take the morning bus), you’ll need to switch to a different line. We had heard that Buses Lep was the way to go, but we couldn’t find their office in time.

Instead, we recommend heading straight to the platforms and looking for Pájaro Blanco. You can buy your ticket directly from the driver (about 5€). This second leg is much more pleasant. The bus is usually cleaner, less crowded, and the 2-hour drive through the hills is actually quite beautiful.

You should arrive in Villa General Belgrano by 4:30 PM, just in time for a craft beer and some apple strudel.
