Chile & Argentina Frequently Asked Questions
We will send you detailed information about the Adventure in a Pre-Departure Packet once you register.What is the weather going to be like?
Remember the seasons are reversed in South America so November is the
late spring. The average high in Santiago in November is 77 degrees,
while it is 82 degrees in Mendoza. The nights will get down to
the
40s or 50s. The area gets little rain in November.
What is the best way to get to the Tour and where do
we meet?
We meet in Santiago, Chile and depart from Mendoza, Argentina. Flights
to Santiago are overnight with a morning arrival, so you can arrive the
first morning of the tour (we'll pick you up at the airport) or the day
before. Flights leaving Mendoza for the US mostly connect in Santiago,
so you'll fly from Mendoza in the afternoon, connect in Santiago, and
take an overnight flight home.
What should I do if I want to extend my vacation in
the area?
We don't spend any time in Santiago on this tour, so you could easily
add a day or two in this city. Alternatively, you might
consider flying at tour's end to Buenos Aires.
Do I need to be a wine expert to enjoy this tour?
You definitely don't need to be a wine expert to enjoy this tour. In
fact, you don't even need any knowledge of wines at all. All you need
is an open mind, an ability to discern what you like and don't like,
and an adventurous spirit.
What ability level do I really need to be for this
tour?
