To the south along Ruta 68 motorway, the Valle de Casablanca opens up – Chile's most famous wine region – at just 90 kilometers.

If you want to experience the Pacific Ocean, you can continue on the same road to the beach resort Viña del Mar and Valparaíso, a colorful port city well worth a day trip stop.
