Visit Colchagua Valley, Chile

The Colchagua Valley lies to the south of Santiago and makes up a major part of the Central Valley. While it's only an hour and a half from Santiago it feels a million miles away.

It makes up a vital part of the Chilean economy as a producer of fruit to be exported around the world, but perhaps more famously, this is also a major wine-producing region.

The rolling hills not only provide stunning scenery but also the perfect base for viticulture, and, as with most of Chile, the Andes are always there in the background.
