I travelled to the wine region of Colchagua and the coastal towns of Pichilemu and Cáhuil in central Chile with my study abroad program. It was three days with biking, wine drinking, and lots of food. Group travel still isn't my favorite, but it was worth it to fall asleep with the sound of breaking waves outside my window.
Colchagua region = wine, more wine, and empanadas apparently. I wouldn't know because my bus didn't stop at the magic empanada place. This was CIEE's last weekend excursion, a last gulp of fresh air before finals in a month, and it was so beautiful.
