In two weeks the 2013 LSU Teaching in Chile group will journey to Concepcion Chile for the 3-week LSU College of Human Sciences and Education Chile
Program. We have a variety of ways to get to Chile. Some of us
will go through Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Lafayette, Houston, Dallas,
Colorado, Miami, Las Vegas, Panama City, Panama, and Lima Peru with all roads leading to Santiago de Chile the Capital. From Santiago we will all take a LAN (Chilean Airline) flight to Concepcion.
We all arrive in some form or fashion
to the Santiago Airport. The Santiago Airport is consistently rated
among the top airports in South America.

The Concepcion Carriel Sur
Airport is also a modern airport. Quite small with only 4 gates,
the airport is very easy to navigate. The airport has a beautiful
landing pattern that brings you in over the Pacific Ocean. From Santiago
to Concepcion is about 45 minutes of flying time.

Ken and Margaret will connect with all travelers at some point in Santiago, and Kenny will have arrived a few days earlier to set up the advance operations for the trip. We will be greeted by our new Chilean
families and one or more of the program directors in the airport. The beautiful
city of Concepcion awaits. Located on the Pacific Coast to the far west
of Chile, and approximately half way down the country, a Chilean winter
awaits. Chilean winters in this region are known for being quite mild, similar to
Portland Oregon or Seattle Washington.
