The Valle de Aconcagua is a wine region in Chile that sits at the foot of the Andes. The main city in the region is Los Andes. I wish I could tell you the city was a wonderful tourist destination and that the wineries were all wonderful and welcoming. Unfortunately, I cannot. What I can tell you is that the views of the Andes mountains are amazing.
I tried to visit some wineries; however, they were closed, despite all published information indicating otherwise. But, I did get to see some beautiful vineyards and lovely old buildings.
I also tried to head up into the mountains, but the weather would not cooperate. As I got to the switchbacks that take you the last 20 or so kilometers to the snow field, a cloud started descending on the mountain. I turned around and as I got down to the bottom of the mountain I saw that they had closed the road going up. Whew! I would not have been happy stuck up there. But, the drive was interesting. Note below how the Chilean department of transportation deals with what I am sure are constant rock slides on mountain roads.

Have a great day!
Your journey continues – and those mountains are impressive! Glad you turned around when you did – another example of your excellent judgment. Please tell the penguin to stay friendly with St Joseph – clearly it was a great help.
Hey Jo,
Penguin and St. Joseph are very friendly. St. Joseph looks out for the Penguin in each location, since he is the older and wiser of the pair
Both of them send you hugs!
