Resting halfway between Santiago and Valparaiso in Chile, the Casablanca Valley is known for its amazing wines, breathtaking scenery, and variety of adventure sports. The valley is known as one of Chile's best regions for Sauvignon Blancs, Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, and most of the (huge number of) wineries provide top-notch restaurants, enabling visitors to indulge in delicious wine-pairing menus. The landscape boasts massive snow-capped purple mountains, expanses of sprawling vineyards, and picturesque cycling and hiking trails through the forests. Visitors can paraglide over the region, or take a guided tour to the stunning, snowy Reservoir El Yeso in the Andes. Those looking for a little city buzz can head to the theatres, markets and nightlife of nearby Santiago, while those looking for something a little different can explore the beaches, galleries and fishing villages of Valparaiso.
