We returned to Santiago for 24 hours before leaving for home tonight.  After a good night's sleep, today we toasted the end of our South American journey with a visit to Paseo del Vino, a charming family-owned winery whose owner established it on a single acre of grapes, as a passion project. He makes just 3,000 bottles a year (both red and white) and loves introducing visitors to Chilean wine culture.  We learned about winemaking and tasted some of his vintages, followed by a traditional meal. This evening, we will transfer to the airport for your flight home to the U.S.

Your trip has totally entertained us. Thank you for all of the adventures and education about your destinations. I loved it. Now to go do homework on Easter Island, it sounded wonderful. Enjoy the trip home!
