Setting off early this morning Ms K, Ms M & I headed firstly to Santiago's Museo de Bellas Artes, free on Sundays. Inspired by The Petit Palais of Paris, the Palacio, with its ornate glass roof, houses a varied collection of Chilean &European art.
Ms K & I set off on our own, leaving the city we headed for the Santa Rita winery at Pirque. The original owner set up an Andean museum for the Chilean people with his collection of artefacts from the Arica area in the north of Chile. We then had lunch at the winery's restaurant, along with the locals, tourist & families from Santiago who were enjoying their Sunday out and about.
Then it was off to the Concho y Toro vineyard for a winery tour. The vineyard was started in 1883 and the first vines in Chile were planted here.
