An old friend of mine bought a vineyard in Chile five years ago. An unusual character, he is a professor of cell biology in Finland, the clothes still in his 50s, like a punk. We once traveled to Moscow together, by land of Norway, in an unreliable VW Beetle (his idea), which broke down in the small Finnish city of Espoo. That's when his love affair with Finland, but he started long of countries have been grown in the icy north. His idea of a holiday was always free of Iceland, Greenland, the Yukon, and other frozen wastes of Lapland. He is one of those people who trudged out of some other boat or to the Antarctic. In general, the more biting cold climate, the happier he is is.So when he said he'd bought the vineyard in Chile, I was pretty surprised. But an eclectic personality, he had long cherished the desire to make wine - even if he does not drink any alcohol. So, after installing a southern French wine, of course, for his scientific research and postdoctoral students, he bought a vineyard in, I believe, Chile Colchagua Valley wine producing. Fortunately for him it came with an experienced manager.He complete his first decent wine for a few years ago and I did not have much of Chile to the drama because of the 33 trapped miners hit the Internet, airwaves and front pages of news in mind 2010.Now, It seems, after the successful and happy life, Chile is gearing up for tourists like never before on the back of the enormous positive received.Chile worldwide media attention of the country's well-regarded president, Sebastián Piñera gain, the Commission is a monument dedicated to the miners and rescuers. That will probably live in Copiapo, where most of the rescued miners. "Camp Hope", the hastily set-up moves settlement near the collapsed San Jose gold and copper mine, already curious trippers.Although days of the miners story is a catalyst for interest in Chile, the country has to offer about addition, the Atacama Desert, where it took place. Chile is spectacularly beautiful. It has five UNESCO World Heritage sites, magnificent glaciers, fjords and volcanoes, vast forests and a coastline that begins in the tropics and ends in the Antarctic. With the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andes to the east, Chile is wide about 100 miles, but it offers a wide range of landscapes.In north you can explore desert flats and canyons, colorful lakes come by flocks of flamingos pink skinny and try or Lama - local courts of quinoa and beef produced. Some way south of Copiapo, Isla Dama near the coast, is home to the National Reserve of Humboldt penguins. In the Pacific Ocean, around the island, it is also common dolphins whales.In, and see sea lions and Santiago in the central region, whether Chile, you will find great skiing reorts if skiing is your passion. They offer excellent snow and good access and infrastructure. The season begins in June and ends in October. If skiing is not interested, you can hike in the Andes. Not far from the city, you have the option of trekking on horseback or on foot. There is also rafting in level 3 and 4 rapids, if you feel energetic.Santiago is the place to learn about the history of the country - his struggle for independence from Spain in the early 19th Century and its transition back to democracy in 1989 after the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. The Museum of Santiago, the National History Museum and the Museum Casa Colorada tell all aspects of the history of the country. Near the Plaza de la Constitución, click the Moneda Palace - seat of the Chilean government - which visited too.The Barrio Bellavista Santiago is to be artistic and bohemian quarter. Writers, philosophers, actors and musicians gather in the many cafes bookstore to exchange ideas and implement to improve the world. The area is filled with art galleries, quirky shops and boutiques packed. The San Cristobal Hill, Metropolitan Park, the zoo and La Chascona, where poet Pablo Neruda lived, are all in this part of town. On the night hops area with busy clubs, bars, restaurants and theaters.In Patagonia in the south, you will become a jungle of wild land, glacial valleys, rivers and tumbling snow-covered mountains to find. Cruises here offer spectacular views of the coast and the chance to penguins, sea lions, leopard seals and elephant seals to be seen. If you are brave enough, and are resistant to biting cold, you can go diving and explore the unique underwater world of Antarctica. Experienced divers will be frozen over, you lead to the other-worldly ice sculptures, icebergs and corals from this extraordinary coast. Sailing in the famous Strait of Magellan is another attraction of the area. Environmentalists warn, however, that Antarctic tourism harm the fragile ecosystem here and I am inclined, for my part, leave this particular wilderness alone.Lastly - Chilean wine and Chilean vineyards. My friend in Finland send me digital photos of his vineyard from time to time and I must say, it looks very nice but not exceptional. But Chilean wine is often very good and vineyard tours are very popular in Chile. The Colchagua Valley is only a few hours of Santiago on the Route 5 Highway Mr. Weiner lovers head slightly, the country to try the more refined wines. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are grown among the most widely grown grape but Chilean wine producers around two dozen varieties. These include Pinot Noir, Syrah (Shiraz), Zinfandel Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese, Barbera, Malbec, Carignan, Semillon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc.I 'll have to ask my friend to stop sending the photos and start the sending a few liters of wine in his place. With the financial crisis continues, it may be the closest I'll get a Chilean winery for some time.Source: http://www.visit-chile.org/index.php?lang=eng
