Don't worry so much about...
Don't worry so much about seeing all the sites...the richest part of Chile are the people themselves. When I lived in San Bernardo for 4-5 months I met this shepard boy (Tao) who tended the animals on the Cerro Chena. He invited me to visit his family later that evening and little did I know that at the base of the hill lies a military base and behind that a hidden village. Everyone who lives inside works for the goverment in some way or another. Whether it is farming the vinyards & making wine or like Tao tending to the horse that are later slaughtered and the meat sold. It was all very interesting back there and there are many adventures to come about this special cerro. FIRST story...pertains to Juan de la Bautista and his wife Maria. They also lived in this tucked away village. Juan actually tracked me down and wanted to have a religous discussion with me. I thought cool...later it...
