These ladies made me look like a rock star!
I can't say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Across South America. I was tasked with putting together a Gourmet & Outdoor trip for six gentlemen to South America. I didn't even know where to start, and only had a couple of months to book. I scoured the internet for a local agent in Argentina and came upon Across South America. These ladies made me look like a rock star!
They raved about the spectacular private dinner in Bariloche, where the group was involved in the preparation, learning from Chef Herrera about local dishes.
I would highly recommend booking with Across South America. A great group to work with.

Why is Chile famous for wines?
Chile is incredibly thin, and all the wine regions cover quite a long distance from north to south. But the diversity comes from west to east. Which is between the mountains and the freezing pacific sea. What is incredible in Chile is the diversity you get in such a small strip of land. If you go 50 km from west to east, you can have a great variety in a tiny area.

The main valleys are the Aconcagua Valley, the Casablanca Valley and the San Antonio Valley.
Chile's cool climate allows the excellent development of varieties such as Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. If you are a wine lover, make sure you try the wines of this region!
