What is the distance and price from Santiago airport to downtown and from downtown to Valparaiso

Depends how you want to do it. There are airport buses run by Centropuerto or TurBus which will take you downtown, a journey of about 20-30 minutes, for about 5 dollars. If you want to connect directly to Valparaiso you get one which will drop you at Pajaritos metro station rather than downtown. You can catch a bus to Valparaiso from there for another 5-7 dollars and the journey will take about one and a half hours. Otherwise you can get the airport bus right to downtown Santiago. A taxi will cost abot 25 dollars. A shared transfer van will take you to any specific address, cost depends on distance but to downtown should be about 8-10 dollars.
