Venue_
The Meeting and Workshop will take place in the Gorbea Auditorium, third floor of the main building of the School of Engineering and Sciences of the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Mathematics at Universidad de Chile, in Santiago.
A description of the Campus, whose main entrance is located in Beaucheff 850, Santiago, can be found here.
Being our University a public institution, access to our Campus, and to the Gorbea Auditorium, is unrestricted. For this, we strongly advise you to not leave your personal belongings unattended at any time during the meeting. Especially vulnerable items are laptop computers, tablets, cellular phones, brief cases, backpacks, and wallets. Please carry these items with you permanently (including during coffee breaks). Sorry for the inconvenience, but this simple precaution could save you many headaches down the line. Note that neither ADeLA nor the University is liable for any property damage or loss within the Campus.
A general description about Santiago can be found on Wikipedia, or in the Santiago Tourist page.
If you are interested in doing a quick tour of Santiago, we suggest the
"Hop on - Hop off" service. By the way, this company also does tours to attractions nearby to Santiago, see here.
Medical insurance while in Chile:
State-provided medical assistance in Chile is very poor. We strongly recommend you to buy some medical insurance that will cover you against accidents or unexpected illnesses during your trip to Chile. Some of these insurance services can be bough sometimes at the airport of departure, immediately prior to your trip.
VISA requirements to enter Chile:
Note that you may need to apply for a Tourist VISA even if you are staying for a short while in Chile. In these links (English - Spanish) you will find out if you need to apply for a Tourist VISA. In those links open the document titled "CV 2014" (Spanish) or "Get Endorsement Box 2013" (English). If in the last column of those documents it says "SI" it means you need to apply for a Tourist VISA at the nearest Chilean Consulate of your place of residence. If in that column it says "NO", then you do not need to apply for a Tourist VISA, you can enter Chile with your passport and filling up a generic entry form prior to your arrival. This site has some general information about the issue as well.
Transportation From/To the Airport:
If you come by airplane from abroad, you will arrive into the "Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez" International Airport.
Information on how to get from/to the airport and the Santiago downtown area can be obtained here.
We strongly recommend you use one of the official registered transport companies listed in the pages above. Of course taxi is the most expensive alternative (about CLP 20,000 or USD 40), followed by the "Transfer VIP", these are minibuses on shared transport (a van that takes several passengers going to the same general area of Santiago). The cheapest way is using buses (about CLP 1,400 or USD 3) - and the subway afterwards to your final destination.
To use their services, upon arrival you have to go to the their boot just before getting out through the glass windows (after customs), and request a transport. Beware, there are many other taxi or van services that we call "pirate", and are less reliable, we strongly encourage you NOT to use them.
Transportation in Santiago:
Transportation in Santiago can be quite an adventure, in many aspects...We suggest you read this information and plan your trip carefully.
Surface transport by bus is done via the "Transantiago system". Detailed maps of routes, cost, and other relevant information can be found here.
Transantiago is linked with the subway system "Metro de Santiago", whose routes and tariffs are here.
In order to travel on either Transantiago or Metro you need to get a "Bip!" card, which can be bought at any metro station and many other places. The cost of the plastic card is CLP 1,000 (one thousand chilean pesos, or about USD 2). The minimum credit deposit is CLP 1,000 (and it can go up in increments of CLP 500, or about USD 1). The card can be charged at will, depending on need.
If you prefer to take a taxi, we suggest you use "Easy Taxi" or "Safer Taxi" which can be called from your cell phone (after downloading their application into your cell phone). Beware, taxi fares are expensive in Chile, you can get an estimate of your trip through "Taximetro".
In many cases, for short distances (say, less than 2 km) it is very often more convenient and expedite to walk!
Preferential Lodging:
The SOC and LOC have managed to obtain support from our sponsors to contribute towards the lodging and expenses during the duration of the meeting. Invited and contributed speakers who receive financial support from ADeLA will be hosted at the Providencia suite apartments. Students supported by the SOC will be placed at the Las Condesas Hostal. A bus service will be provided by ADeLA from/to the Providencia suite apartments and the Gorbea auditorium, every day. First-priority for the use of the bus will be given to invited and contributed speakers staying at the apartments, students will be able to ride in the bus if space is available (for this purpose they will have to take the subway from the Manquehue station to the Los Leones station).
The Providencia Suite apartments are small furnished apartments, no breakfast is provided, although they have a kitchenette where you can prepare your own meals. Breakfast is provided at the Las Condesas Hostal. Other included services can be found in their respective sites.
Note that your ADeLA reservation runs from Sunday, September 28th (after noon) until Saturday, October the 4th, before noon (6 nights). If you arrive before or leave after those dates, you will have to cover that portion of your stay yourself.
