We had been thinking for some time of a trip to Chile – birds and wine, what’s not to like? Our usual tour companies didn’t quite go where we wanted to, so in late October 2014, we embarked on a trip on our own to central Chile, preceded by five days or so in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Timing had the benefit of being their late spring, being as far south of the equator as Los Angeles is north.
