Bulletin #1: "Hotels in Santiago, Chile"

     Hello:

     This is bulletin #1 with information for the Symposium on Systems and Models in Forestry to be held in Punta de Tralca, Chile, March 4-7, 2002. All bulletins are published at the "News" section of our web site http://www.dii.uchile.cl/chileforest2002

     Following there is some information (as described by the hotel) about hotels in Santiago. We have made arrangements with 3 Hotels or Apart Hotels (one or two bedroom apartments with hotel service) in a price range of $45US to $100US per day for 2 people. These are all good quality places, 3 to 4 stars, and well located in the residential area of Santiago. Below you can find all the information about them, in case you want to make your own reservations. We can also make reservations for you (please contact Solange, solange@dii.uchile.cl) if you send us the proper information: number of persons, dates, credit card number.
     If you want a hotel, the hotel Panamerican (ex Aloha) has been well rated by previous visitors.
     Naturally, you may want to choose your own hotel in Santiago.

     Best regards,

Andres
