Top 10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Valle Central, Valle Central
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.

The best wine experience I have ever had. Christian, our tour guide took us on a wonderfully personal tour of the vineyard and the winery - sharing knowledge and expertise that was extremely enlightening. The tastings were sublime and we were blown away by the whole experience. Such a great thing to do. Fantastic!

Enjoy the excellent wines and delightful atmosphere of one of Chile’s most prestigious traditional wineries. An engaging guided tour of our facilities, including the park, colonial manor house, old winery, and the large cellar built using the “cal y canto”—limestone and eggshell—technique in the 1880s. During the tour you will taste 3 wines, the experience ends in our new shop.
Reviewed By progresodave - Progreso, Mexico
Having lived 2 hours from Napa for many years, we've been to a lot of wineries. This tour has a completely different focus: it's not a tour of production facilities as much as the best class I've ever had in how to really taste, select and enjoy wine. We took the premium tour that includes higher-end wines, with the time to sit down afterwards, enjoy two wines with paired appetizers, and ask questions of our expert guide. You WILL see the beautiful cellar which has withstood major earthquakes. A couple of hours beyond expectations.

It has several attractions in its 1784 acres. Central Park is only 842 acres by comparison. Some of its most important attractions are: the sanctuary and balcony of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception; The National Zoo of Chile, where you can get dazzled with the different species of animals; the historic funicular railway and the recently inaugurated cable way. From the top of the park you can enjoy a panoramic view of Santiago and the Andes Mountain Range, also there are two swimming pools, plazas and games for children.

……A true-lii intriguing barrio to find yourself in just to wonder about casual-lii and explore and discover whatever there is to be found in this area. Besides the trend-ii ‘PATIO BELLAVISTA” centre with all its fascinating shops and restaurants it’s just amazing to see even so much more bars, cafes, restaurants of different proportions all around the streets of this barrio. We would just like to make mention in this review of all the places that we came across in this vicinity so that others may know it is here. The trend-ii “ZONA 3” that looks like a nice beer-garden where lots of young people hang out. “VENEZIA” Restaurant a renowned Chilean gastronomia. The big park-entrance to Cerro San Cristobal with food-vendors all around and also known as “the meeting place in the city”. The “DINING ROOM” Restaurant & Piano Lounge housed in a palatial double storey house with secured parking, La bodeguita de JULIO (the wine-cellar JULIO for Flavour & culture, the nice corner cafe Gracia Heladia which offers ice cream and breakfast. We also came across an outdoor amphitheater with lots of Graffiti on its walls. There was also CAVALERA Art & Tattoo shop, TEATRO SAN GINES a small but nice looking performing arts theater and very close-by was this impressive school building COLEGIO MARIA IMMACULATE the surroundings was very neat & clean, The VIVA LA VIDA restaurant very beautiful-lii decorated walls with bright-lii coloured flowers painted outside. There was a MINI MARKET shop where you could buy all kinds of liquors, a FLORISTERIA with very trend-ii and innovative floral decorations and also “LAPISLAZULI” Factory Shop the Blue Semi Precious Stone which is very popular here in Chile, they had some nice jewelry and fancy stuff created out of this Blue Stones. A nice church building which looks like it’s been here since 1891 and in 1997 the people requested that this be declared a Heritage Site and a Historic Monument. Even on the border of this Barrio there is a love-lii big STAR-BUCK……This is an area that needs lots of time to explore so it’s a must visit when in Santiago de Chile…………………..NB! Don’t forget to take time to study all the expressionism told by the multitude of GRAFFITI all over the area!......

Tour the eclectic architecture of this home which served as the romantic hideaway for famed poet Pablo Neruda and his wife Matilde, as portrayed in the 1995 film "Il Postino."
Reviewed By kanemochi - Seattle, United States
This is a fabulous museum paying tribute to the great Nobel Prize poet Pablo Neruda. The museum is literally the house Neruda built and lived in with his wife Matilde Urrutia in Santiago. Please note you are not allowed to take any photographs inside the house. You’re free to take as many photographs outside the house, however. You’re given an audio guide which explains the different parts of the house. This was the most underrated site I visited in Santiago. I would recommend this museum as a must visit for anyone who has even a slight interest in literature. Even those who are not interested in literature will appreciate this museum as a great tribute to one of Chile’s greatest sons.

The center of Chile's history, this presidential palace is a beautiful building that occupies an entire city block on downtown Santiago.
Reviewed By deborahk3 - Maidstone, United Kingdom
La Moneda is the seat of the president of Chile. It also houses the offices of three cabinet ministers. It occupies most of a large block in the Civic District of downtown Santiago. It looks much like other parliamentary buildings around the world, but well worth seeing. La Monda, is of neoclassical design by an Italian architect and was originally built as a Mint . In 1973, during the military coup, the building was bombed by the Chilean air force. The building was rebuilt some years later although some bullet marks remain and have been preserved. Well worth a visit.
