Venue and Travel Information
Getting to Santa Cruz
We recommend you fly into the Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport (SCL) in Santiago, Chile.
From Santiago, buses to Santa Cruz depart frequently from the terminals located in Estación Central.
If you are traveling by car, drive south on Route 5 and take the signposted detour in San Fernando (Route 90), which will take you directly to the heart of the valley in about 3 hours.
We will recommend local transportation options soon. You can also connect with other VES attendees to ride together during registration.
