—Travel and accommodation—

A list of recommended hotels is available in the website. Attendees must make their own reservations directly with the hotels. Note that affordable options (‘cabañas’) are available.  We set up a forum where those who wish to share their room can connect and find a roommate. For more information please check the accommodation page in the conference website.

Although the conference will occur during the low travel season, tickets from Santiago to Easter Island can get expensive as the travel date approaches. We encourage you to make your flight and hotel reservations as soon as possible.

—Childcare—

The LOC is organizing affordable, professional childcare support during the talks. Interested attendees must fill out the corresponding section in the registration form.
