LLEGADA A CHILE A LA CIUDAD DE SANTIAGO AL AEROPUERTO ARTURO MERINO BENITEZ Que hacer al llegar a Santiago. Lo primero que le recomendamos es llegar a Santiago a una hora prudente, de manera que puedas ubicarte bien y tranquilamente, sin contratiempos. Una vez que hayas llegado al aeropuerto o terminal, lo primero que debe hacer es ubicar una casa de cambio de monedas, de manera de contar con moneda chilena que le permita afrontar los gastos inmediatos (puedes encontrar esto dentro del aeropuerto). Se recomienda no aceptar ofertas de compradores callejeros por muy atractivas que parezcan. El Aeropuerto Internacional de Santiago se encuentra alejado de la ciudad y su siguiente paso en caso de no tener escala directa a la ciudad de Valdivia, será trasladarse al centro de Santiago. El servicio que recomendamos es tomar un bus de la empresa TURBUS, que puedes encontrar en la salida del aeropuerto. Estos buses pasan desde las 6am hasta la medianoche. Este servicio es el más económico, alrededor de $1.500 pesos chilenos. Se aconseja no tomar taxi, debido a que no todos son seguros, en caso de querer algo a domicilio debes optar por los transfers que se ofrecen en los stands establecidos por el aeropuerto. Antes de retirarse del aeropuerto es recomendable dirigirse a la oficina de SERNATUR (Servicio Nacional de Turismo) ubicada en el aeropuerto y recopilar la mayor cantidad de información acerca de residenciales y hoteles de no muy alto valor en donde pueda alojar en forma provisoria. De todas formas se recomienda investigar al respecto desde tu país de origen. Moneda y temas relacionados: Aprovechando que está en Santiago, es conveniente que visite las casas de cambio que se concentran en la intersección de las calle Ahumada y Agustinas. Los bancos atienden público de 9:00 a 14:00 hrs. de lunes a viernes. Cuenta de Banco: Una vez que tenga tu cédula de Identidad (Trámite en Registro Civil en Valdivia) con tu número de cédula de identidad chilena puedes habilitar una “cuenta RUT” en el Banco del Estado, sucursal Valdivia, donde podrás recibir depósitos y girar dinero, esto sólo dentro de territorio chileno. Moneda La moneda oficial de Chile es el peso chileno ($). El sistema monetario está formado por una serie de monedas y billetes que equivalen a una cantidad determinada de pesos. Los billetes utilizados son 1.000, 2.000, 5.000, 10.000 y 20.000 pesos. Tradicionalmente se usan ciertos apodos para algunos billetes y monedas. La mayoría de la población utiliza

  • Concepción Chile Temple Fact Sheet
    CONCEPCIÓN CHILE TEMPLE FACT SHEET The Concepción Chile Temple will be the 160th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide and the second in Chile. (The Santiago Chile Temple was completed in 1983 and renovated and re-dedicated in 2006.) The Concepción Temple will serve some 122,000 Church members in southern Chile and some southwest reaches of Argentina. Location: Avenida Quinta Junge, Concepción, Chile Plans Announced: October 3, 2009 Groundbreaking: October 17, 2015 Public Open House: September 15 - October 13, 2018 Dedication: October 28, 2018 Property Size: 4.06 acres Building Size: 23,095 square feet Building Height: 124 feet, topped with the statue of the Book of Mormon prophet Moroni Architect: Naylor Wentworth Lund Architects (NWL) General Contractor: Cosapi Mas Errazuriz (CME) Exterior Features Building: As with many of the significant religious and secular 19 th century building of Chile, the design of the Concepción Chile Temple is neoclassical with subtle French detailing. The temple is capped with a dome, as are most Chilean religious buildings. Precast concrete has been used on the exterior walls, simulating the faux limestone stucco used in other historic architecture of the region. Seismic Considerations: The Biobio region of Chile experiences high seismic activity with massive earthquakes ranging from 7.8 to 8.8 every 20-30 years. This required significant attention during the design process. A state-of-the-art base isolation system was incorporated. There are 22 “pendulum” type base isolators supporting the temple, allowing it to move 30 inches (75 cm) in any direction, for a total displacement of 60 inches (150 cm).

The opening marks the second Hyatt- branded hotel in Santiago and introduces the Hyatt Place brand to Chile and the South American continent. The first Hyatt Place hotel outside the United States debuted in Central America with the 2012 opening of Hyatt Place San Jose/Pinares in Costa Rica.

Expansion is set to continue in the region later this year with anticipated Hyatt Place hotel openings in Mexico and Panama. Hyatt Place Santiago/Vitacura. Guestroom with Andes Mountain View. (Photo: Business Wire) As Chile continues to cement its rank of being one of the best places to do business in Latin America, backed by its 2013 designation as such by The World Bank, the country is an important business and leisure market for Hyatt. The opening of Hyatt Place Santiago/Vitacura is an important step in Hyatt’s growth in strategic gateway and regional markets throughout Latin America. “Hyatt’s history in Chile spans more than 20 years, beginning when Grand Hyatt Santiago welcomed its first guests,” said Myles McGourty , senior vice president of operations, Latin America & Caribbean for Hyatt.
