6) Chile & Argentinean Classic

Santiago - Valparaiso Maipo Valley - Santiago - Mendoza – Buenos Aires

Resting on an inland plain, with the Andes glimmering in the distance, Santiago, the capital of Chile, is the fifth largest city in South America. Santiago is a city that seems destined for growth. The Mapuche destroyed it in 1541, only six months after Pedro de Valdivia founded it, but soon the Spanish were back and building it up again. Today, it is one of the most modern cities on the continent, home to nearly 5 million inhabitants–over a third of all Chileans.

At the foot of the high range Andes, Mendoza is a modern city with a storied past that charms visitors. With its tree lined streets, handsome villas, adobe houses and of course its famous wineries, Mendoza is the perfect stop over on your journey through Argentina and South America. Though rainfall is slight, irrigation has turned the countryside into a green oasis of vineyards and fruit plantations. Wine making season is March - April and there are numerous wine cellars (bodegas) where wine tasting is a popular activity.

Buenos Aires - this complex, energetic, and seductive port city, which stretches south-to-north along the Rio de la Plata, has been the gateway to Argentina for centuries. The city's neighborhoods are small and highly individualized, each with its own characteristic colors and forms. In the San Telmo district, the city's multinational heritage is embodied in a varied and cosmopolitan architecture - Spanish Colonial design couples with Italian detailing and graceful French Classicism. La Boca's pressed tin houses are painted a rainbow of colors, and muralists have turned the district's side-streets into avenues of color.
