The terminal... up in the bus, on my way to the beach...
First tollbooth collect... man, that job must be boooring, hehe.
..and away we go... leaving Santiago...
the road...mountains and mountains...
...at least the sky was blue..sorta...
more mountains... I just love the green in them...
Closer to the hills... and rocks...
Funny, a chicken processing plant... Agrosuper...
As we Chileans are proud of... here's one of the stops into the *Wine Route*. Cool tour into vineyards and tastes of wine and all that crap... so, here's a vineyard, tho I cannot remember the name of the Winery, but it looks pretty :P
More vineyards... wonder how many bottles of Carmenere, Merlot and Cabernet will come up from them... Cheers!
Curious patterns...caught my attention. Also... that sole tree in the middle of a vineyard.. FTW?!
Again, the patterns...and buh-bye vineyards...
Moving on the road we find this... Sanctuary of the Virgin of Lo Vasquez. This is a lovely place in which, every December 8th, ppl from all around the Country come to pay tribute to our Mother, pay debts (heavenly debts) and such. The devotion here is immense, due to the Catholic condition of Chile. Maybe this December 8th I'll join Marcia on her venture...
Tunnel cometh!!! Scary, scary!! ...oh, and low down the speed...just 30km/h permitted... time to close me eyes now...tunnels scare the shit outta me!!!!
Safe and sounds from the tunnel... but this is the typical Chilean way... entering Fifth Region (Valparaiso) we notice the change of weather... frak!
Scary view from another tunnel... thank God that one goes to another place... oy!
Finally! Entering Viña del Mar... View of the city from afar....
Yes... they have houses on top of the hills... no, I don't get it.
So, after the 2 hour trip, we still haven't seen the Ocean, so Stay tuned for the Beach...part Two :)
