The Lake District
Leaving the metropolis of Santiago, the riders will spin into the Colchagua valley wine growing region, alongside the Rio Mantequito, and then down Chile's rugged Pacific Coast, no doubt stopping to sample the fine wine and delicious seafood. After a rest day in Concepcion they'll head back inland over rolling hills bound for the spectacular Lake District – an area featuring dozens of lakes, snow capped volcanoes, rushing rivers and tranquil forests.
