Route 225: from Las Condes to Villa Los Aromos

Las Condes. The 225 starts on Avenida Las Condes, takes Av. Padre Hurtado (Chesterton, El Alamein, Bocaccio, Edimburgo, Paraná) and passes Los Dominicos station. It continues past Parque Gandarillas and along Av. Cristóbal Colón to the Rotonda Atenas, then along Av. Tomás Moro to the Rotonda Tomás Moro.

La Reina. Via Alcalde M. de La Lastra, Salvador Izquierdo and Av. Príncipe de Gales it reaches V. Pérez Rosales and Avenida Larraín, with stops next to the Aeródromo Tobalaba and the Hospital Militar. It then runs via Diputada Laura Rodríguez and Talinay, passes the Lider La Reina and takes Av. José Arrieta to Av. Américo Vespucio.

Américo Vespucio. The central stretch follows Av. Américo Vespucio, past the Los Orientales, Grecia, Los Presidentes, Quilín, Las Torres and Macul stations. It passes Colegio José A. Lecaros and the Fiscalía La Florida to Vicuña Mackenna station.

La Florida and Villa Los Aromos. On Av. Vicuña Mackenna it passes Bellavista de La Florida and Vicente Valdés, continues via Paraderos 17 to 20 and turns in at CESFAM Santa Amalia, along Santa Amalia, Av. Santa Raquel and Avenida Trinidad (CESFAM Trinidad). The final stretch runs along almost all of Bahía Catalina street, Troncal San Francisco and 4 Oriente, and ends at Avenida Gabriela and 4 Oriente.

The return trip leaves from Rosa Ester and Los Cipreses, comes back via Bahía Catalina and José Miguel Carrera, passes Rojas Magallanes station on Vicuña Mackenna and follows the same axis in reverse to Las Condes, where it ends at the Mall Alto Las Condes, at Av. Padre Hurtado and Av. Las Condes.

According to the operating schedule, a full outbound trip from Las Condes to Villa Los Aromos has a scheduled time of 92 minutes for 34.1 km. The 225c has 66 minutes for its 20.2 km loop. These are reference times: at peak hours, especially on Américo Vespucio and Vicuña Mackenna, allow extra time.

The 225 has 104 stops outbound and 105 on the return. It passes 11 Metro stations: Los Dominicos in Las Condes; Los Orientales, Grecia, Los Presidentes, Quilín, Las Torres and Macul on Américo Vespucio; and Vicuña Mackenna, Bellavista de La Florida and Vicente Valdés in the south.

How to find out where the 225 bus is

To see how long until the next 225, use the App Red (in the app stores, “Red Metropolitana de Movilidad”), which is free and has an arrival predictor for each bus stop (paradero). You can also use “¿Cuándo llega?” on red.cl. Enter the bus stop code, printed on the stop sign: it starts with P, followed by a zone letter and a number. At the stops on the southern stretch, check whether the predictor shows a 225 or a 225c: the short service goes no further than Bellavista de La Florida.

Fare and tarjeta bip!

Since 22 February 2026 the adult fare on Red buses is CLP 795 at any time, including on the 225c. Secondary and higher-education students pay CLP 260 with the TNE, primary school pupils ride free and seniors with the bip! Adulto Mayor pay CLP 390. You can pay with the tarjeta bip! (it costs CLP 1,550) or with bip!QR from the App Red and other apps.

A single payment covers up to two transfers (three legs) within 120 minutes of the first validation, as long as you do not repeat the same bus route. There is no extra charge between buses; if you transfer from the 225 to the Metro during peak hours, you pay the difference up to CLP 895.

• The 225 runs through the eastern side of the city without entering the centre: it takes you from Las Condes or La Reina to La Florida without changing.
• If you are going from Villa Los Aromos to the Metro on a weekday, the 225c drops you at Vicente Valdés or Bellavista de La Florida.
• The last 225 leaves at 01:00 and there is no service in the early hours; plan your trip back with the App Red.
• On Américo Vespucio the 225 passes six stations in a row: if the bus is slow, you can continue by Metro.
