Chile's Valle Central, a verdant valley tucked between the Andes and the coastal mountain ranges, has a mild climate and moist soil perfect for grape growing. Made up of four distinct wine regions, Maipo, Rapel, Curico and Maule, the area is criss-crossed by well-traveled wine roads. At the northern end of the valley is Maipo, the oldest of Chile's wine regions, famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon. At the opposite end is Maule, which still grows Pais, the first grape brought to South America.

Driving from Colchagua valley we drove through vineyards and thick forests of pine and eucalyptus trees passing some small villages along the way and street vendors selling strawberries, water melons and other summer fruits. Pichilemu was packed with traffic and it took us approximately 30 minutes to get through. But Punta de lobos really paid us off. The spot has an amazing view, unbelievable cliffs with various birds flying around, the waves crushing on the rocks, the sandy beach full of people (although it was a bitty chilly) and the surfers in a constant “fight” with the waves. Although it was an overcast day one could only imagine how much more beautiful this place would be on a sunny day!
