FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE HOTEL
First of all, and just in case, we will pay your hotel directly, so you do not have to pay anything (other than your consumption of mini-bar or any extra).
Santiago’s airport is located approximately 20 km west of the city centre. The Alcalá del Río hotel is located at Padre Mariano 331, in the district of Providencia (www.hotelalcala.cl).


There are three official transport options.

Official Taxi
The airport has introduced the “Vía Controlada” system. A ground transportation desk is located inside the luggage claim area, where you can request a taxi without pre-booking. There are regular taxis (painted black & yellow) which run on a meter, or tourist taxis (painted blue) which charge a fixed rate according to the area of the city you are travelling to. 
The journey from the airport to the hotel by taxi may cost around 20000 pesos.

Transfer Service
These are mini buses that offer a shared taxi service. They drive you from the airport and drop you off at your hotel. This should be arranged with in the airport. Two companies offer this service: Transvip and Delfos.
- Transfer Delfos Schedule: 00:00 to 23:59, everyday of the year +56 2 2913 8800, www.transferdelfos.cl
- Transfer Transvip Schedule: 00:00 to 23:59, everyday of the year +56 2 2677 3000, www.transvip.cl

By Bus
These are shuttle buses that go from the airport to the city. Two companies offer this service: Turbus and Centropuerto. You can catch these buses immediately upon exiting the main airport terminal (on the ground floor, in the main street, between exits Nº4 and Nº5). During the day they run frequently. You pay the driver directly. Once you arrive in Santiago, you can get off at the “Pajaritos” metro station, then take the metro to the hotel.
