Our first stop on the way down was Santiago. This is Plaza de Armas, not far from where we were staying.
Debbie buying strawberries at one of the small markets on the many pedestrian streets.
Nicely painted houses in one of the neighbourhoods.
The cathedral back in Plaza de Armas.
Debbie trying a local drink on one of the pedestrian streets.
Our next stop was Mendoza. This is evening in Plaza Independencia, across the street from where we were staying.
The Mendoza wine region with the Andes in the background.
Sampling right from the barrel.
Lunch with the group from our tour.
Another view of the Andes. Less snow this time.
We stayed here one night before starting our Antarctica cruise. This is the view from the ship as we left the town.
After our cruise we were back in Santiago and then had a tour of Valparaiso on the coast. Lots of nicely painted buildings.
More painted buildings.
And more!
One last winery before heading home. This one in the Casablanca wine region in Chile.
