You'll want to set off fairly early today as you leave the winelands to travel to the coast just north of Valparaiso, Chile's famously bohemian port city.

Take the slower road north and you will pass by the village of Isla Negra, famously home to Chile's most famous literary figure: Pablo Neruda. If you're interested, you can book in to visit his home -  audioguides make sure that your visit is informative and engaging, the location is spectacular. After lunch in the village, looking out over the Pacific Ocean, you continue north to stylish Concón.

Settle into your rather beautiful hotel overlooking the water. You have a choice of restaurants close by, including your hotel's. The seafood here is world-class, and could barely be fresher. And because you're pointing west, sunsets are spectacular.

Drive 265km, 4hrs.
