Being in Argentina's wine country, Mendoza is home to many bodegas (wineries) that offer wine tasting tours. Perfect for wine lovers and a good place to learn about winemaking if it's your first wine tour before.
On this journey from the Chilean coast to Argentinian Wine Country, the changing views go from seasides to meandering roads up and down the Andes; making it a worthy day trip rather than an overnight bus.
Close enough for a day trip from Santiago, the city of Valparaiso has several colorful hilltops with great seaside views. The famous Viña del Mar which hosts the yearly music festival is also a short bus ride away.
Resting between the snow-topped Andes and the Chilean Coast Range, visiting a viewpoint is a must to appreciate the grand landscapes. The capital is also modern and has good public transport for getting around.
At over 3600 meters above sea level, the Bolivian capital is surrounded by mountains. Using the cable car public transport is a great way to explore the city which reaches the even higher El Alto at over 4100 meters.
This beautiful city shares Lake Titicaca with it's Bolivian neighbor and has spectacular lakeside views. Wander around the small city and also learn about the burial site of the Inca and Quilla people at Sillustani.
