Santiago's drinking water is adequately treated and bottled water is readily available, just to be safe. The Best Seafood Chilean seafood is among the world's best. Do not miss the opportunity to try it. Some dishes, like sea urchins, are an aquired taste, but they will rarely upset your stomach and I liked them. I only drink Chilean wines since my trips.
Red wines are tintos and the whites are blancos .
My favorite is Montes Alpha. Several of these wineries will allow tours. I visited one of the Concha y Toro vineyards near Santiago. Pisco is a unique alcohol to this part of the world. It is produced from grapes with a high sugar content.
