We drove up to the Argeninian border on this road twice. The first time we did it in a snowstorm and the second in brilliant Sunshine. The views are just breathtaking, but even in the snow it was an experience. Dont miss the lake behind the big hotel at Portillo, its exquisite.

This winery was wonderful. We were fortunate enough to get to blend our own bottles of wine. The tour was interesting and our guide spoke English very well. She was sweet and informative. Their Carmenere is the best that I had during this trip to...MoreThanks for visiting us and for your comments! Hugs and greetings from San Esteban!

Si bien la estadía fue maravillosa, la comida increíble y la atención muy buena creo qué hay cosas graves que se dejan al azar.
Lamentablemente experimente dos incidentes uno comprensible pero no aceptable por falta de aseo y otro inadmisible bajo cualquier circunstancia.
Nos registramos el la habitación 409 el día viernes 8 a las 16:30 y al momento de que mi señora quiso usar la tina de baño encontramos pelos en ella, tras informar, nos cambiaron de habitación a la 411 de la misma categoría ningún upgrade por el incidente, nos mandaron 3botellas de jugo como compensación absolutamente ridiculo , el día sábado tras volver del desayuno a eso de las 11:00, nos encontramos con una tapa de yeso encima de nuestra maleta.
Imagínense que esa tapa nos hubiese caído en la cabeza, mi señora está embarazada de 7 meses, creo que estaríamos ya hablando en otra instancias tanto médicas como judiciales, si bien es cierto no hubo daño físico al no encontrarnos, al revisar nuestras pertenencias nos percatamos que la tapa al caer en la maleta que es de género golpeó el protector de mi iPad Pro 9,7 el protector se rompió y así mismo por la fuerza del golpe la placa madre experimento daño en el video ya que ahora se ven rayas.
Por otra parte quedó toda la ropa y maleta con yeso ya que está se encontraba abierta.
Tras enviar un mail de reclamo formal se puso en contacto el Sr. Antonio González jefe de la recepción quien me ofreció pagar por todos los daños materiales y que lo formalizaría con un mail que me enviaría y que a la fecha de hoy aún lo espero.

The collection, which includes authentic shrunken heads, at MAdLA, was acquired and curated over decades by founder academic archaeologist Carlos Coros Cantin. I spent a few hours here and learned far more than I expected to. This is a humble, out-of-way establishment in the small town of Los Andes (surrounding by dumbfounding peaks), and is a marvelous excursion out of Santiago. I enjoyed it immensely and believe nearly any visitor with a modicum of curiosity will also.
Although this is a small scale museum, there is absolutely nothing amateurish about it. Sr. Coros has done an amazing job.

Paidahuen Archaeological Park is a National Monument located in Chile's 5th Region along the northern bank of the Aconcagua River, in the rural town of San Esteban. The top of this isolated hill holds slabs of large rocks adorned with petroglyphs, work of native populations dating from 450 to 1000 years ago.
The park land is "owned" by the Vina San Esteban (Vineyard), makers of In SItu wines, which in itself is well worth a visit. We picked up a brochure about Paidahuen at the vineyard.
After parking one walks along a well marked pathway that slowly winds uphill towards the mountain top. Most of the petroglyphs are found along the path and near the top of the mountain. There is a nice "Los Andes View" rest area at the top. This is not a heavily traveled site, and the walk uphill requires some stamina---but is very doable if one is in halfway decent shape.
One can do the walk in about one hour--but that's if you don't stop and rest at the top which we did (the view is spectacular).

Un mágico lugar , la belleza del paisaje cordillerano impacta, se siente una energia casi mistica y solo a menos de dos hrs. de Santiago. Luego de llegar a San Esteban se continua por un camino que se encarama por la precordillera bordeando el Estero de San Francisco hasta culminar en una vieja casona,donde te recibe ls dueña, experta guía hacia el lugar donde se encuentran interesantísimos petroglifos de antiguos asentamientos indigenas que me emocionaron profundamente.......
