1. Getting In

Nearest Airport

Arturo Merino Benitez Santiago (SCL)

The closest international airport is Arturo Merino Benitez Santiago (SCL), approximately 20 minutes away from the City of Santiago. We recommend booking flights at least 3 months in advance. Please ensure your passport is valid for the full duration of your trip.

2. Getting to the city

From Airport to Santiago de Chile

Private Transfer & Taxis

Uber works great and is the cheapest option (15,000–30,000 CLP). Just know that pickups happen at the garage in front of the outdoor Arrivals area, not at the main exit.

If you'd rather skip the garage hunt, grab an official taxi right before the main arrivals doors. You'll see a few licensed desks on your left after going through customs. Slightly pricier (25,000–35,000 CLP) but completely hassle-free.

You'll also find plenty of independent taxi drivers waiting outside the main arrival doors, and they will absolutely find you first. They're generally fine, but just to be safe we'd recommend sticking with Uber or an official taxi desk; better to start the trip stress-free.

3. Getting to the event

From Santiago de Chile to Event

Getting to the Venue

The wedding takes place at Casa Quillay, Pirque — about 40 minutes south-east of Santiago. Save the pin here: Casa Quillay →

🚌 Free Shuttle Bus
The easiest option — we've got you covered. Buses will depart from Plaza Perú at 17:00 and 17:30. Hop on, relax, and arrive together. No stress, no navigation. Buses will also bring you back to Santiago at 00:00, 01:30 and 03:00 — so you can dance as long as you like and still get home safely.

🚗 Uber
Uber works fine to get there and back. That said, Pirque is a bit outside the city so availability — especially late at night — can be unpredictable. If you're planning to Uber back at around 3am, please book in advance. We cannot stress this enough. A stranded guest at 3am is nobody's idea of a good time.
