Lady in Santiago

My Santiago sightseeing took place piecemeal while I was traveling in Chile. First there was my amazing day of wine tasting in the Maipo Valley, then came my evening of exploring bits and pieces of the Santiago restaurant scene after a day in Valparaiso. But it was only on my last day in Chile that I had the opportunity to spend a significant amount of time exploring the city center.

Lady in Valparaiso

Valparaiso is a city of contrasts. Every time I told a Chilean that I was planning to spend an afternoon there, they raved about the historic port city as if it was the soul of the country.

Lady Goes Wine Tasting in the Maipo Valley

A lot of people have asked me why I chose to visit Chile. The answer is twofold. One, by February I find myself so tired of the winter in London that I always take a trip to a warm destination at the end of the month.
