Andesmar is an intercity transportation company with more than 52 years of experience in the industry. Founded by Guido Badaloni, with an italian origin, who reached Argentina in the middle of 1920, specifically to the city of Mendoza, where he finally settled down.

Its entrepreneurial vision led him to create a passengers transportation business that would become a pioneer in the region. Previously, he decided to get involved in the business of transporting vegetables in the zone; experience that four years later took him to acquire the bus company “El Fifi” and with which he began to offer services to transport passengers.

After a partnership with Cayetano Caruso, he created the company Badaloni-Caruso, with whom he acquired the bus company Expreso Campo Los Andes (ECLA). From there, he began to firmly forge a transportation service that got consolidated with the creation of Autotransporte Andesmar, in 1967.

In its beginnings, the company offered services between Mendoza and Bahía Blanca in the province of Buenos Aires, connecting travelers with Argentina from the Atlantic ocean to the andean mountains. Five years later, after the dissolution of the Badaloni-Caruso society, Mr. Guido’s sons became the owners of Andesmar, continuing the expansion process. Currently the company is being managed by the third generation of the family.

Nowadays, Andesmar has services in different zones of both Argentina and Chile, travelling more than 45 thousand kilometers a year and moving more than one million eight hundred thousand passengers. It has last generation new buses, with advanced technology, to offer its passengers the most comfortable journey and to also guarantee its safety. Buses Andesmar offers three types of services:
