Price, timing and itinerary details change according to the selected option.
From San Antonio
Transfer Overview
This private transfer connects San Antonio cruise port with Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, or Concón, in both directions. The distance is about 100 km, and the drive usually takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes in normal traffic.
The route passes through a quieter part of central Chile, with eucalyptus forests, open valleys, small rural areas, and vineyards before connecting with the Route 68 corridor.
Cruise passengers often use this transfer before or after a sailing, especially when staying in Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Concón, or the coastal area. If you would prefer more than a transfer, you can turn the day into a Valparaíso street art shore excursion from San Antonio that combines the colorful hills, street art and a hands-on monotype workshop before continuing to Santiago.
We use passenger vans with enough space for travelers and luggage.

Frequently Asked Questions about the San Antonio-Valparaíso Private Transfer
Is this a private door-to-door transfer?
We coordinate the pickup time with your cruise schedule and leave enough margin for port procedures, luggage, traffic, and check-in, so you do not have to plan the pickup too tightly around port procedures, luggage, traffic, or check-in.
How long does the transfer between San Antonio and Valparaíso take?
Can I add extra stops if I have more time available?
Please tell us what you would like to include when booking. Additional stops, visits, and waiting time are quoted separately, and we will confirm the timing and price together with your transfer.
Possible stops along the route include:
• Casablanca Valley wineries - a good option if you want to add a short wine tasting on the way. Depending on timing and availability, we can include a short visit to one of the wineries located near the Route 68 corridor, such as Viña Indómita, Casa Viñamar, or Veramonte.
• Winery stop with lunch - for travelers who have more time, we can arrange a wine tasting with lunch at a winery restaurant, for example at Casas del Bosque in Casablanca Valley or Matetic in El Rosario Valley. Advance reservation is required.
• Leyda / Lo Abarca wine area - a quieter coastal wine region known for cool-climate wines and ocean influence. Possible stops may include Casa Marín in Lo Abarca or Viña Garcés Silva in Leyda.
• Puro Caballo equestrian show - a countryside-style experience in the Casablanca area, with horses, Chilean traditions, and the possibility of lunch. This stop depends on the show schedule and must be arranged in advance.
• Valparaíso hills and street art - a short walk through the colorful hills of Valparaíso, with murals, historic streets, and panoramic viewpoints over Valparaíso Bay.
• Isla Negra - Pablo Neruda's house museum, one of the most atmospheric cultural stops on the Chilean coast.
• Santo Domingo - a coastal viewpoint at Mirador Puntilla Santa Isabel, with the option of a short nature walk at Parque Humedal Río Maipo.
• Parque Tricao Aviary - a nature stop near Santo Domingo, known for its large aviary, birds, landscaped trails, wetlands, and open-air spaces. This option requires more time than a simple photo stop.
• El Totoral - a small rural village where it may be possible to visit Inventando Papeles, a handmade eco-paper workshop.
What happens if my ship is delayed?
For major delays or last-minute changes, contact us as soon as you can so we reconfirm your service.
Are there dates when traffic affects this route?
• December 8 - the Lo Vásquez pilgrimage triggers major traffic measures and even closures on Route 68, which matters if your plan includes Casablanca that day.
• Summer weekends (late December to early March) - heavy flows between Santiago and the coast: Friday evenings and Saturday mornings toward the coast, Sunday evenings back to Santiago.
• New Year - one of the busiest travel days of the year on the highways, with the peak on December 31.
• September 18-19 (Fiestas Patrias) - a long holiday weekend when interurban roads get much busier.
• September 11 - commemoration events can disrupt traffic in Santiago; this coastal route is normally not affected, but we keep it in mind for connections.
• Easter weekend and other long weekends - outbound peaks on Thursday afternoon, return peaks on Sunday.
We track these when confirming your pickup time.
