Up at 5 am today to travel back to Santiago on our way to Puerto Varas. Had a great flight over the Andes with some tremendous views of the mountains and volcanoes.
Due to the flight connections we had time to kill, so we went on a wine tour. We visited two wineries, one a relatively small affair and the other Concha y Toro, our favorite Chilean wine by chance.
The morning tour took us around the grounds, vines, processing plant and storage areas, before the best part the tasting! Needless to say, being tired and having little breakfast we were quite merry by the end!
We then had a great lunch in local restaurant and then went on the second tour. Concha y Toro is Chile's largest producer and the operation was on a more commerical basis than the first. We had a smiliar, although more touristy tour and only two tastings, but that was sufficient in our condition!
We then returned to Santiago, caught our 8 pm flight and reached our hotel around 11 pm. Thank goodness the hotel is of a good standard and we didn't have an early start the following day.
