HOW TO ARRIVE IN YOUR OWN CAR

Portillo, a great place to practice ski sports in Chile, is only 2 hours northeast of Santiago. If you will be travelling in your own vehicle from Santiago, please follow these simple directions in order to get to Portillo:

  • From Santiago, follow Américo Vespucio towards the north. This will take you down "La Piramide" and past the Cuidad Empresarial. Exit to the "Los Libertadores" highway (just after the entrance to the Mall Plaza Norte). Follow the highway towards the city of Los Andes.
