Transportation
-
- Group transportation is being organized by the Workshop on Sunday,
October 3rd. Minibuses showing the Workshop poster will be available
at the international flight arrival area at 10:30, 11:00 and 15:00 hrs.
The cost per person will vary according to the number of passengers (around
CLP 10.000/USD 16.00, one way).
Similarly, group transportation between Viña del Mar and the airport
will be organized on October 8th in the evening, and October 9th in the
morning (information available at the Workshop).
- By bus: first take a bus, shuttle, or taxi to the metro station Pajaritos from
where buses to Viña del Mar are leaving. A good choice
are the Centropuerto buses that leave the airport
from 6:40 until 22:00 hr. The cost of a one way ticket until the metro
station is CLP 1000. From Pajaritos station, the trip to Viña
del Mar takes
approximately 2 hours, and will arrive at
the bus
terminal, called Rodoviario, located at
a 15 minute walk from the hotels. The total cost of the trip
will be
in
the range
CLP 4000-6000.
- By car: take ruta 68 to Viña del Mar and Valparaíso.
Do not take any exit until you have driven for around 100 km. Then, the
highway splits
in two: take the right lane towards Viña del Mar. You will reach the
outskirts of the city and will start going down Agua Santa street. Go
until the very end, and turn to the right in Alvarez, advancing two blocks
until Ecuador street. Turn to the left and you will see Hotel Marina
del Rey, immediately to your right. Hotel Gala is two blocks away.
During
your driving you will cross the 'Lo
Prado' tunnel, the Curacaví valley,
the 'Zapata' tunnel, the Casablanca valley, the 'Lo Vazquez' religious
site and the Universidad de Viña del Mar campus.
- From the Hotels to the Workshop venue: free transportation by bus will
be arranged in the morning and at the end of the afternoon
Workshop sessions (see Scientific Programme).
- Public transport in the Viña and Valparaíso area: if you
do not take the Workshop bus, you can reach the Workshop venue taking any
bus
or micro in a bus stop at Arlegui street that
indicates
PUERTO. Ask the driver to drop you at the main entrance of Universidad Santa
María (Avda. España 1680).
If you are in Valparaiso, take any bus or micro that indicates VIANA
street, and get off close to your hotel.
