For the bid of Valparaíso Chile, we have agreements with two hotels
called Marina del Rey and Hotel Gala, with enough capacity for all
speakers and there's also another Hotel nearby called Hotel Monaldi
that's a great option for students. All three hotels are in the same
street less than 2 blocks away from each other. This hotels were used
for the Encuentro Linux and hosted about 30 Speakers and allowed to
make post event activities because they are at a walking distance of
many places that are great to grab something to eat and/or a drink.

The hotels Marina del Rey and Gala cost about 80 dollars for a two
person room per night, It depends in the dollar exchange value. The
university has an agreement, so this price should be final.

Hotel Minaldi has to be consulted, but costs around 25 dollars per
person per night.
