What???? is that confusion. Anybody know some highway connectiions in English like 5 to ? to ? to ? then in morning ? to ? to STI. Thanks in Advance PS any good beer joints by Century? I know I am reaching but thanks.

Exit the airport, go right on the Autopista towards downtown Santiago. Take the Autopista to Av. Rafael Ridal. Make a right onto Vidal. The Century Plaza Hotel is located at the back of a Plaza with the same name. This will be on the right hand side of the Street. If you get to the end of Vidal, you passed it, but it shouldn't be hard to find. There really aren't too many, if any "beer spots" nearby. However, the closest place is the Ambis Disco. For everything else you will need to head over by El Monumento, a 10 minute drive away.

Thanks Frank,

I am looking at a Google Map and see Rafael Vidal but am unclear which is the autopista. There appears to be 2 ways out of the airport.
1. to the south down to Ave. Los Carreras IS that the autopista into town which would make your instructions of turning right on Vidal make sense.
2. It also show going north out of the airport to Licey and taking that road left into Santiago which it appears is called Ave Licey Al Medio but then you would have to go left on Vidal.
Which is the route you suggest is best and why. Thanks

#1 is the best route.

Av Las Carreras is The Autopista Duarte or "Route 1", and the road to take from the airport.
