Visited Parque de Agua in November. Booked via the official website. Entry for 2 people including a transfer from the centre of Mendoza. Here is my honest opinion. Transfer: Very easy, took a little over an hour to arrive at the park. Guides spoke Spanish, English and Portuguese. Location: The park is in a beautiful setting at the foot of the mountains. Venue: It was very busy; a lot of people in every pool. Lots of children. Not dirty but certainly not clean. We didn’t eat there because it was too busy. Lockers and robes are available but TAKE CASH. We managed to pay on card but we had to negotiate with one of the staff there to be able to pay for a locker on card. No sun loungers so don’t expect to be able to chill by the pool. Experience : It was ok. Go for 2 or 3 hours max. We left around lunchtime. It wasn’t the relaxing experience we hoped for. Worth a visit as it is a relatively cheap day but it was too busy for us. Wouldn’t go back.

We were here in August, it was pretty cold outside. The temperature of the baths inside was okay, but outside was pretty cold. Plus, there were too many people. There is no place to lock your stuff, so you always have to keep a look at your bags to make sure it's not stolen. They need to install lockers at the very least.

It certainly is true that the place is stunning, however we did not have a nice experience. The thermal pools were completely cluttered: there wasn’t a pool in which I could bath and not be touching someone. Apart from that, the whole place was overcrowded. The bathrooms, extra pools, etc. I think that the even worst part of this experience was that the thermal pools were not even hot. They were simply like any other normal pool.

The rooms were booked way in advance which meant either going to the water park or not going at all. Be warned that people get there before the opening time and start getting in line. By 10am the place is quite full. You may rent a bathrobe in case you don't have a towel. The interesting part was purchasing meat cuts and barbecuing it outdoors.

Fantastic place with natural hot springs, in the mountains. Many pools of different temperatures, with some for adults only. Water slides and water park features available in the summer months (October to April). Barbecue facilities on site (of course, this is Argentina!), covered picnic area. Really great place to spend the day with the family.

Might be my bad luck , review is based on personal experience on the day.. whilst the setting is lovely, visit wasn't one to remember. There were so many groups of children with no control in how many people are allowed at the time it was impossible to enjoy. Every pool was full of kids, even what supposed to be an adult pool with staff nowhere to be seen to enforce this. I'd recommend management to think of some more staff at busy times to give a bit more comfort and safety to the visitors.

Kids loved it. Great and beautiful location. We took Uber from Central Mendoza for $20 & the bus back at closing. You can bring all your own food & drinks and cook on outdoor grills. Great big lockers for backpacks. Highly recommend.

One of the best experiences I had in Argentina. I rented a car in Mendoza and I drove to the National Park. There you can park and walk towards the Cerro Aconcagua. There are plenty of routes for different hiking expertise but check because sometimes the are closed depending on the season. I get to the puente colgante and the views were stunning 😍

Absolutely beautiful scenery. A bit difficult to negotiate the paths as people have strayed from the set routes a lot. Would have loved more time here, it's a fantastic park.

5 stars for the park - 1 star for the reservation / payment / access process The access procedure is soooo complicated but absolutely worth it!. Please make sure to preregister your visit on the Parque Aconcagua site. When you get to the main entrance you will need this in order to pay your entrance to the park. Once the payment is completed then you have to go to the office next door to show proof of payment where you will receive the ticket to access the park. Honestly, too many steps that could be combined in just one. If you are driving, you will be able to access the park for around 1 km, then you will have a 15 minute walk to the first lookout at about 3,000 meters. From here you have an amazing view of the Aconcagua. For those fit individuals, you can keep walking for another 45 minutes to another lookout / bridge.

Great park, quick walks with great views of the Aconcagua. Friendly park staff, free bathrooms and it was also free to go up the road (Nov 2025)

Otherworldly landscape. Air is slightly thinner as hikes start nay 3000m. Be sure to bring cash to pay entry, it's possible to pay with card but they charge 20% more.

Amazing landscape, you have to make a reservation in advance and check in when you arrive in the park but they provide you with a bag for garbage and some other useful information. Just be careful with the mean of transport if you're using the bus because they don't drop you off very close to the park entrance and you have to walk a few kilometers by the highway

Amazing park just on the east side of Andes mountains. The welcome center had very good and helpful information. The views are spectacular and breath taking. The hiking trails run for many kilometers and every step of the way was wonderful. Highly recommended you take extra water and a wind breaker because the winds sometimes can pick up. Fully enjoyed hiking here in view of the tallest mountain in South America.

We arrived there just on time for lunch. We were on one of the first tables to be seated. After choosing our menu and getting our first plate we realized that all the other tables had gotten some bread with some type of sauce. They forgot about us and totally pretended not to see that (even when they came to take the plates). The food is really good! But nothing special at all. I’d expect something more elaborated for this price (10,500.00 per person). The second thing that got me intrigued is that there was a street dog roaming around the restaurant and the waiters pretended that it was something normal. The dog was full of fleas and totally not taken care of. None of the waiters took the dog away (you would expect a high level restaurant not to have street animals roaming between the tables). At some point the dog even jumped on my GF and got her blouse mud dirty. The third and last thing was that there was SO MUCH trash on the grass. Pieced of paper, plastic, cigarettes. It seems like no one has ever cleaned that up. In the end, I’d recommend you to take the tour but eat somewhere else (maybe even better for that price tag). I didn’t enjoy it at all.

This was overpriced and awful. Driest pork I’ve had in my life.

Great experience. Interesting tour with unique elements to this winery and cellar. Nice wines. Beautiful setting. Friendly duck that roams the grounds.

Great experience! Great service ! Its a must in Mendoza

My wife and I had a fabulous time on a private tour at Bodega Salentein. Our tour guide, Marcelo, made the experience memorable with his passionate and knowledgeable presentation, and we felt so very welcomed. The six wines we tried were all excellent and each at the top of its class. Our favorite was the Numina Gran Corte, which is a blend of malbec, cabernet, merlot, cab franc, and petit verdot. The Primus malbec 2015 was excellent as well. The tour normally takes 1.5 hours but we got along so well with Marcelo, it was well over 2 hours and we were still in tasting room when Marcelo finally was asked to move on. Just to demonstrate the tremendous hospitality this Bodega shows its visitors. Would love to re-visit next time we're in Mendoza.

Delicious food and wine with spectacular view at a reasonable cost.

beautiful restaurant in an interesting winery, with great food and great views

Good food. Kind service. Nice views. I like eating here.

Incredible place to enjoy the snow and get away from the city

I love this place!

This place is absolutely functional. It has all the services needed by skiers. Restrooms, ski rental, tickets sale, ski claes, coffee shop, etc. It is not a cozy place.

Its a nice place were you can have fun with all yoir family and friends

Ski center base. Some food options (eg. Juan Valdez Cafe) but not much to do if you're not skiing

Excellent confy place to rest while skiing ✌️

If you come here to do activities, don’t expect to do much. The average wait time to go sledding, tubing, ziplining, etc. is 2-3 hours. They so play cannot handle the amount of people. Please see my video as it is just a simple example of a line here even after an hour. You can see multiple other lines as well. The fastest way to move up in the line is people giving up and leaving the line. We came with a tour so didn’t have to wait in a ticket line which was also huge in the morning. On another note, The Mountain views are pretty cool. If you want to just see snow and hang out, I guess it would be fine.

Very good to play with the snow, has a few attractions to visit and it is really enjoyable. It's recommended to go there to be all day long, just a few hours it isn't worth the entrance price.

Nice place to enjoy whatever the snow can offer. Full of activities, place to eat and the most the ski adventures. Unfortuanely on my day wasnt much snow but for the magical place, worth the visit.

Visited about a month ago , went through a tour agency. Park has a lot of activities along with skiing lessons or snow boarding lessons . I was recommended the skiing lessons by the tour guide and we reached around 11 am . We had to wait for about 10-15 mins to get our tickets for the skiing equipment. The classes was at noon so got few hours to explore the resort . Coming to what I did not know , you need to get a locker to keep your things which is a additional cost , along with getting the locker key you need to provide a document such as an Id card , passport and in the worst case they take your credit / debit card which is unsafe . Which also means you cannot buy anything within the park . There is a queue to get a locker and because of luck everyone just felt like skipping the queue and mentioning to the person incharge that they were there earlier . This entire process consumes roughly about 30-45 mins additionally and with a time limit that the park closes it means a lot. Mobile network at this place is limited . The restrooms could be maintained better .

It is an amazing park, there are lots of snow attractions. If you are visiting Santiago, you will love meeting this place.

Its pretty. The rides are kind of small But fun. The problem is you wait in line a lot. Overall a fun.

Excellent snow park filled with fun activities for the entire family.

Absolutely beautiful but the road feels like a death trap

I came here on a day trip from Santiago as I wanted to cross the Andes off my list, but this is one of the few places I felt was a waste of time and money. It looks beautiful in winter, but in the summer it's just barren rock. But even so, it's just a reservoir surrounded by low barren mountains, nothing special. I can drive a couple hours from my house and see much nicer alpine lakes. If you've never been to the mountains before, sure you come here. Othwerwise, it's not worth it at all. Not to mention when we were there, there were tour vans illegally driving on the path and some local kid threw a rock at a fox. Actually, the fox sighting was the only thing that made it worth it.

Is a very scenic place with turquoise water and mountain views. The road is narrow and partly unpaved, so drive carefully. Nearby there is a small, mediocre café where you can buy water, empanadas, and instant coffee, but it’s better to bring everything with you. A quiet spot for photos and short walks.

A very beautiful place. The scenery was amazing, I totally enjoyed the view despite the freezing cold. This is a place totally worth visiting

Fantastic view. Out of this world colours of the water, mountains birds. Great to have parking place and cute cafes in the way. Road by car is not for the faint hearted but totally passable with a normal car.

Wonderful place! It's different in summer and winter and on both seasons the view is amazing. It's really close to Santiago and on summer you can go just by yourself. Rent a car and take your time there, guided tours will be expensive and you'll leave the place still wanting to stay a little longer. On winter though maybe a guided tour would be safer but on summer, go by yourself on a rented car!

Visited this wonderful location twice whilst on a trips to Santiago. We went both times with a great company called Ski total and arrived at the location after approx 2hr drive out of the city. The scenery is truly breathtaking and stunning with plenty of wonderful photo opportunities. There is a mobile refreshment van a short walk away if your feeling a bit peckish and a picnic area with toilets a short 10 min drive away. It really is a must visit location if visiting Santiago.

Fantastic! Built in 2015, and currently the tallest building in South America, I would say it’s well-worth it for the views! It’s 20,000 CLP for adults, and it’s one of the highlights of Santiago. A great place to admire the view, and capture some great photos! There’s also a nice bar/restaurant that can be good (otherwise, there are more food options in the main mall). There are bathrooms and a gift store, too. Can definitely recommend! By yourself, a date, or with your family and friends!!

A must-visit in Santiago! Check the weather forecast so you can really enjoy it and see the Andes. The staff is super friendly and helpful. On both floors of the viewpoint, there are decorated spots perfect for taking photos to post. Amazing 360º view of the city!

Gorgeous city views. One of a kind. They have a second floor where you feel the air from outside cause it's open roof but the windows are all like 40 feet tall, so you technically do feel like you're still indoors.

Sky Costanera is a must-visit landmark in Santiago. This impressive skyscraper features an observation deck at the very top, offering breathtaking 360° views of the city and the majestic Andes mountains. The experience is unforgettable, especially on clear days when the Cordillera de Los Andes looks spectacular in the background. It’s one of the best ways to truly appreciate the scale and beauty of Santiago.

Wow! An absolute must try! $20 USD to get to the top of the tower. It has two levels for viewing. One of them is open roof. There is also a restaurant that has amazing food and equally amazing prices. Try to get up there before sunset. As the sun sets and night moves in, the views continue to change and they just keep getting better. 10/10!

What a view and this part of town is a contrast to the older quarter of Santiago. The place is well run, no issues getting in and out. Everything was explained to us by an English speaking guide. Well organized. Loved the view from the top.

Obviously, the views are sensational with Santiago city set against the Andes. Nice restaurant, very well priced. Good selection of food and beverages. Worth a visit to the mall attached to it. Hard Rock Cafe is a bonus

Great place to just walk around, shop, dine and relax. 6 floors of best shopping in Santiago. Great views from the 5th floor of dining and plenty of underground parking space. Highly recommend.

Hi my nae is Daniela. This mall is huge. A lot of brands, you can find a bit of everything. Prices are like in EU, not really local things but the surrounding zone to the mall looks very interesting

This mall offers a large selection of brand names like Nike, North Face, Columbia, Gap etc. The pricing is higher than in US for certain brands and therefore I didn't buy anything. However, I liked visiting the Decathlon store, which is a discount sporting goods retailer and without any stores in the US. Overall I enjoyed the clean and relaxed atmosphere with enough benches and restrooms on each level. They have also USB ports and free WiFi for their customers. The Jumbo supermarket is a plus with a large variety of foods and reasonably priced.

Wonderful shopping area but many items are expensive even by U.S. dollar standards in June of 2025. Come ready to spend!

Ate at El Japones and Frida Kahlo. Pinku sake dish was excellent. Vibe and decor at Frida was brill.

This was a great experience to have while visiting Santiago. When we were there, it was $20 an adult, and we went during sunset on a Friday, and it was pretty busy. There was live music though, and space to see through all the windows. The cafe filled up before we got there. The topmost deck is open to the air, so dress appropriately, but the lower floor is air-conditioned. You exit through the 5th food court, which was immense!!!

Must go Landmark in Santiago. The tallest building in South America. There is huge and modern shopping mall at ground floor area.

The 22-meter statue on San Cristóbal Hill, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, was designed by Italian sculptors Luigi Poletti and Giuseppe Obici, and was constructed by the French foundry Val D'Osne. Although it's cloudy day, tourists still crowded. The cable car took us to a platform where there are lots of souvenir stores , food stalls, then taking about 100 steps to the top. I wish I had enough time to climb up all the way to the top myself. The overview was excellent even in a cloudy day.

Takes around 40 minutes to walk up the hill, no entrance fee. Very beautiful view of Santiago, especially during sunset. It is possible to take the cable car too, if you don't want to walk up or down.

One of the highlights of the city. It's a nice walk up, but if you do, start early in the morning. It gets very warm, without much shade. Overall, very nice views of the city! Would come here more than once when I lived in Santiago.

Recoleta is a lively and diverse district of Santiago, known for its mix of culture, history, and everyday local life. It’s famous for the Patronato neighborhood, where you’ll find bustling markets, street food, and affordable shopping, reflecting the area’s strong immigrant influence. Recoleta is also home to the Cementerio General, one of the largest cemeteries in Latin America, full of history and impressive mausoleums. Close to central Santiago, it’s an interesting place to explore if you want to see a more authentic side of the city beyond the tourist areas. It has magnificent views to the city.

We decided to hike up here and it was harder than anticipated but what a sense of achievement we felt, would definitely do it again

Hill top, I went up on funicular and came down in cable car. Amazing experience in Santiago.

Fantastic views of santiago. Can take a cable car, bus or walk up.

Absolutely breathtaking! Can’t think of a time I felt more relaxed. Even if it was a quick visit.

One of the best beaches of Viña Del Mar. Nice costanera for a walk, full of restaurants and hotels to stay.

Very good ! Nice beach, but considering it’s a Chilean Pacific beach, that means , cold water, windy and not a real real summer. The beach almost disappears because of the short beach and is always like a well and is quite dangerous. It is not a beach suitable for swimming or enjoying the water. But the palace is beautiful because of the people that are almost all of them Mendocineans. It’s a nice place I think one of the best close to Santiago. But summarizing Chilean beaches are not good at all. Atlantic is way way better with Long Beaches… But the view is beautiful!!

Reñaca is an area known for its beaches and balnearios located in the Valparaiso Region of Chile. Situated along the coastline, the city of Reñaca is near the city of Viña del Mar. The two are connected by a long coastal road named Avenida Borgoño. Reñaca serves as a residential area predominantly catering to the upper-middle class, and provides a coastal lifestyle with access to amenities and recreational activities. Reñaca is at the northernmost extreme of the city of Viña del Mar and has been incorporated by it. The beach of Cochoa and the town of Concón is located to the north along the coast road. The lower part of the hill overlooking the beach is covered with residential buildings up the hillside. The town also extends eastward up the valley through which the Estero de Reñaca flows, where the majority of the year-round population lives.

We stopped at beach as part of the tour. It was empty when we went there, spotted sealions and pelicans

Beautiful beach, water is on the cold side. Few people, great place for long walks on the beach. Tall waves, not safe for small children.

The north sections of the beach is knowed as one of the best spots to surf near Santiago. Really fun, lots of barrels but really crowded

This area had a fun vibe with plenty of restaurants and shops to explore. We ate at the BBQ place which was one of the best spots we ate at in Santiago. We would definitely recommend!

It’s a nice area with lots of Resturants but very touristy . Nice to walk around but the food would be fast and lacking quality much better options else where .

Patio Bellavista is a lively and stylish spot in Santiago, perfect for exploring shops, restaurants, and cafes. The atmosphere is vibrant, with a mix of locals and tourists enjoying the open-air setting. If you’re a meat lover, Texas Ribs is a solid choice for hearty dishes. We stopped by a café, soaking in the relaxed ambiance while sipping coffee. The variety of shops is impressive, offering everything from artisanal crafts to high-end fashion, but prices can be steep. While it’s a great place to wander and experience Santiago’s energy, be prepared for premium pricing.

Is a lively spot in the city, perfect for spending time exploring shops, restaurants, trying new food and buying souvenirs. It has a great variety of places to eat and drink, as well as a mix of shops. There’s parking available right in front of Patio Bellavista, which is convenient, but it’s a bit pricey. For less than 40 minutes, we ended up paying 2000 CLP. But the cost for a whole day is 6500 CLP, what’s actually not bad. Restroom facilities: The toilets are not the cleanest, and they charge 500 CLP per visit. Could definitely be improved, especially considering the fee.

Good place to buy souvenirs, more reasonably priced. I bought an Incan chess set for CLP35,000 in Valparaiso, but it’s CLP20,000 here. Should have come here earlier. The place is close to a few universities.

Foodie heaven. So much fun. Great atmosphere, music and selection of food. Perfect place for date night. Highly recommend.

Contemporary modern and chic shopping mall.👍 Loads of eateries, pubs, lounges and restaurants to cater to all kinds of taste buds and age groups. Live music and cozy ambience all around makes you feel relaxed and in the mood to wine and dine. Its a tourist hot spot so crowded most of the times. I spent an entire afternoon here and it was well worth it. Enjoyed every bit from the food to the shops to the local culture. Neat and clean open areas with well maintained roof top gardens and public spaces. Tasty food. Reasonable prices. Helpful staff. Overall a memorable experience with my local friends!👌

Cerro Santa Lucía is a beautiful historic hill in the heart of Santiago, Chile. It offers stunning city views, peaceful gardens, and charming old architecture. A perfect spot for a relaxing walk, photography, or enjoying sunset moments. A must-visit for travelers exploring Santiago.

Beautiful hill in the heart of Santiago with gardens, fountains, and historic architecture. The climb is not too difficult and rewards you with amazing panoramic views of the city and the Andes. A perfect spot for a short walk, photography, or just relaxing in nature while still being in the city center.

Such a beautiful view over the city. Short walk up. Many places to sit and rest on the way up. Free entrance.

This place offers beutiful views of the whole city and the mountains around it. It’s easy to walk up and there are two platforms to enjoy

Great spot to visit. Easy climb up to top for lovely views.

Don't skip this place ,really nice view and building to take a splendid photo

Best place to start your sightseeing trip in Santiago! Beautiful views from the top of the mountains. There are a lot of stairs and walking uphill, so wear comfortable shoes. It was free to get in. Just show your passport number. The hill is very well maintained with flowers and plants, even in the winter. Great place to spend some time exploring the whole family. Very safe for tourists and spectacular views!

It was a flower clock .. what can I say !!!! Ah, Viña del Mar! Okay, the Flower Clock there... right. It's one of those "tourist attraction" things. You know, you see it in the brochures, and you think, "Okay, sure, why not?" And then you get there, and it's… a clock made of flowers. Exactly as advertised. Look, it's not offensive. It's kind of cute, I guess. People were definitely taking photos, doing the whole "pose and smile" routine. I did too, because, well, when in Viña del Mar, right? But let's be honest, it's not exactly a "must-see." It's a quick pit stop, a photo op, and then you're off to find something more interesting. Viña del Mar has so much more to offer – the beaches, the coastline, the gardens. Compared to those, the Flower Clock just feels a bit… meh. It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's not exactly a highlight. If you're walking along the coast, it's a nice little diversion. But if you're on a tight schedule, you're not missing out on much if you skip it. Basically, it's a clock. Made of flowers. In Viña del Mar. If that sounds like your thing, go for it. If not, there are plenty of other, more exciting things to do in the city.

The maintenance and well manicured flowers was amazing to see up close. You can only appreciate the beauty in person

A pretty flower clock. The beach is nearby. Worth the 5 min visit to have a quick look, but nothing too special.

Standing before the Flower Clock in Viña del Mar felt like stepping into a postcard. The vibrant, meticulously arranged flowers forming the clock face create a stunning contrast against the lush greenery. It's more than just a landmark—it's a symbol of the city's charm and attention to detail.

Hi my name is Daniela, nice place to stop by and take photos. A lot of tourists

Very beautiful and well maintained area. The clock is fully functional, but the area can get very busy with tourists and people. Parking is very limited, and usually, tour busses fill them up. You will only spend a few minutes here, but it's pretty to look at.

A landmark to visit - we were on a tour. The tour guide provided the history of the clock.

The famous Chilenian poet's house. The decoration is quite playful and luxurious. From all the rooms, the view was great. You need to put your backpack in the locker, and it has to be 100-peso coin, that returns when collect your item back. 9500 pesos and the audio guide is included. I would say, 15min is just good enough? Not much to see. The view outside the house(free) is the best photo you would get!

Excellent, must see piece of historical preservation. The self guide audio tour is very ingaging and available in several languages. Surprises on every floor. View over Valparaiso is incredible!

Amazing five level home overlooking the port city of Valparaiso. It houses an eclectic collection of personal items and furniture from the mind of a Nobel prize winning author. The audio guide well constructed and provides great insight into the man and his world. The views from his office and bedroom are astonishing. It is expensive at $9.000 per ticket, but that helps with maintenance costs and crowd control. We thought it was worth it. Oh, the young men at the entrance to the home were very helpful. They spoke multiple languages.

What a fantastic house. You don't even need to be a fan of Pablo Neruda to enjoy a wander around the 5 floors of this beautiful house with some of the best views across Valparaiso and out to sea. I highly recommend a visit.

Interesting insight into one of Chile’s most famous poets. They have audio guides with all the information you need for each of the spaces. The staff are also very helpful and happy.

The place was fantastic to visit. You get an audio guide (free) and you get to visit the five floors of Pablo Neruda's house. Great insights on the poet's life. Don't miss it if you are in Valpo.

I recently visited the Pablo Neruda Museum and had a good time. The museum has a lot of interesting information about Neruda's life and work. The exhibits are well-organized, with personal items, photos, and manuscripts that tell his story. One of the best parts was the amazing view from the museum. The scenic location offers beautiful sights that add to the overall experience. It's a peaceful place to enjoy and reflect on Neruda's poetry. However, the ticket price felt a bit too high for what was offered. While the museum is worth visiting, the cost might be too much for some people. Despite this, I recommend it to anyone interested in literature or looking for a lovely spot to visit. Overall, it was an enjoyable and memorable visit.

What a magical winery! You are literally right in the middle of the city and all of a sudden there's the winery grounds. It's beautiful. The tour is fun and informative plus you get a nice tasting of their wines. They recently opened up a new bar area or champagne tasting room as well. The birds and wildlife on the grounds are fabulous, many even have their own names. If you're in Santiago, definitely make the hour or so trip to visit. It's worth it.

We attended the opening night event at this vineyard and were given a tour of the cellars. Stunning venue. Beautiful setting. Has an impressive bar lined with wine bottles. On the tour of the cellars they have a room where you can smell all the aromas in wine seperately. The cellar tour is very high tech but probably appeals more to the younger crowd. This cellar is famous for their Casillero del Diablo wine. We had a wonderful evening!

It's very nice to see how a mass producer of wine does it. Although there is very little production on site, the tour itself was nice. It's a short getaway from the city. The guide was knowledgeable (WSET Level 2) and pleasant. Overall, I liked it. Wouldn't come back for the tour, but if you want to see a vineyard around Santiago, this is a nice one to do. In the wine tasting, you get to try 4 wines and they are certainly above average to good!

Our visit to Viña Concha y Toro was an unforgettable experience—the vineyard itself is breathtaking, the tour was informative, and the wine tastings were absolutely top-tier. That said, our day started on the wrong foot thanks to the trio of ticketing ladies at the entrance, who seemed personally offended by our presence. They were painfully slow, clearly confused by their own computer system, and lacked even a shred of enthusiasm or basic courtesy. It was as if customer service had been stomped out like a bad grape. Thankfully, the rest of the staff and the vineyard’s charm more than made up for that awkward, quite irritating interaction. 4/5 stars due to tour guide Felipe absolutely crushing the tour. He is an asset to that business.

This was an amazing experience! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Manuela our tour guide was able to communicate simultaneously in English and Portuguese with a great energy. Romina the sommelier gave us the Marques tasting, it was fantastic! She explained everything that even a novice like me could follow along with!

Overall experience is pretty bad. We took Cellar Collection tour (120k CLP ~120 USD). The wines were good, some were outstanding (5 in cellar collection degustation, 4 in regular one). Guide and sommelier were friendly and professional. BUT: the dinner in Bodega 1883, that we bought online (50k CLP ~ 50 USD online), was awful. All 3 courses were bad, 1 glass of wine was terrible (it seems it was most basic one. In the winery for 50 bucks!). The cherry on top: elixir cassilero del diablo (Porto wine type) online is 30k CLP per glass and on-site is 20k CLP. Anyways the elixir is pretty weak Porto and not worth 120 USD per bottle.

This is the best visitor experience at a vineyard I’ve been to anywhere in the world. They have invested heavily in an excellent audio visual experience that takes you through the winemaking process. It really is first class. And it’s with paying for the higher end food and tasting options- again, exceptional quality. There’s some stuffiness about Concho y Toro for being ‘commercial’ but this experience reinforces their credentials as serious quality producers

What a wonderful experience in Casas del Bosque vineyard! The staff are super nice and the place is wonderfully decorated. We were super lucky to have a private tour by Alejandro who was super informed and told us all about the wine making process while visiting the different parts of the wine making process. Wine tasting at the end was also excellent, with Alejandro’s narration, in a beautiful tasting room. We did this together with a tasting menu lunch at their Tanino restaurant which is also excellent. A perfect wine tasting experience!! Cannot recommended enough!

A really good visitor experience. A beautiful display area and very knowledgeable guide who answered questions brilliantly and explained really clearly. Oh, and the wines were delicious

We went on a group tour to the winery and had a fabulous time. Christopher was our guide, sommelier and out right expert on everything WINE. :) He spoke fantastic English and playfully bantered with us the entire time. Highly recommend the wines and the experience.

Amazing winery had the tasting with the tour and then lunch beautiful scenery and the wines were delicious extremely fair pricings

Christoper was an excellent tour guide. He made the experience fun and informative. Very impressed with his thorough knowledge and demeanor

Absolutely gorgeous grounds and wines to match. Enjoyed a great tour of this stunning modern winery as well as tasting of two whites and two reds. I have visited wineries all across the world but this experience was truly among the best in my 40 years of exploring winemaking.

Wine and food are amazing while the winery view is beautiful.

A wonderful experience in the Maipo Valley! We had the chance to visit Santa Rita Winery, and it was a truly memorable experience. The tour of the vineyard and the cellar was both informative and enjoyable, with our guide sharing the rich history of the winery in a very engaging way. The wine tasting was excellent, with generous pours and a great selection of their labels. An added bonus to the visit is the Andean Museum, which is included in the tour and offers a surprisingly impressive collection of pre-Columbian and colonial artifacts. It’s a beautiful space that really adds cultural depth to the overall experience. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Santiago and want to explore Chilean wine culture at its best!

Brilliant. You can do an hour tour there. It’s fascinating, can be done in a few languages. You end up trialling some really nice wine in their cellar with very generous portions. We got a free wine glass for each of us and then went to their shop where it’s amazingly cheap! We bought 12 bottles at a great price and they’re very happy to let you test the bottles you’re looking at so you can decide to buy or not.

I combined Santa Rita with Concha y Torro. The tour in Santa Rita was better, due to the things you see in the winery and vineyard. The guide was also very knowledgeable and entertaining. The wine was better at other places, although you get to try 4 wines. If you want to look how a mass producer does it, this is the preferable spot! If you want the best wine in Chile, it's not what I would recommend.

Concha y Toro was a bit nicer - but 100% worth to visit Santa Rita, learn more about its story, why 130 is such an important number and its rich gardens around the hotel.

Wine tasting and tour, stunning winery that produces 90 million bottles a year, tour takes about 50 minutes and includes tasting 3 wines of the 120 range.....won't give away the story of its name, you'll have to go yourself....!

The winery is beautiful. The horse drawn carriage was relaxing and we enjoyed touring the grounds. Our tasting of three wines was superb and then there was the picnic lunch we enjoyed on the grounds. It was the highlight of our day. I highly recommend touring this location.

The grounds are pretty nice with most historical cellar we have seen in the Santiago area. The wine pairings come with cheese and nuts so that was good. Our guide however was very disengaged and really without much knowledge of the wine or it's makings. A bit disappointed because of that.

The tour guide was great and funny and the wine tastes very good. Very high quality and I loved learning about how they make wine because I never did something like that before. The wine garden is beautiful and it was an interesting experience

Fun winery tour - Javiera was a wonderful English speaking guide. The wines are great, and explained well. I wish we could have wine poured to drink during the walking tour. Of all the wines we had in Chile, Undurraga was our favorite. We brought back several bottles to the US.

This was my first time in an actual winery. They had an English language tour which was great. The wine was fantastic. The indigenous artefacts and trees of the property are amazing. Eating grapes off the vine was also a fun experience. They have done a really great job with the place. The guide Mat was really good and explained everything so well. I visited in the summer of 2024 and really enjoyed going to Vina Undurraga. Chilean wine is much better than anything from Australia or New Zealand and I continue to buy Undurraga wine even after returning to Malaysia.

I didn't have high expectations of a winery tour but Undurraga surpassed even the highest expectations. We were in a group and they gave us a wonderful English speaking guide, and off we went. The vineyard was formerly family owned, and has a great botanical garden as a buffer to the vineyard from the offices. They took us out to see the vines, showed us the differences in the leaves between varietals, gave us a history lesson. Then they took us through the fermentation and storage areas, and we learned about casks, etc. After that there was a small exhibit on native peoples, and some wagons and tractors. And then a tasting of 5 different types of wine, which were all delicious and the goblet was a souvenir. So much so almost everyone on the tour bought wine in the shop before hitting the bus. Would definitely go again, and will look for their wines!

Visited as part of a wine tour organised by STAMP TOUR. One of the bigger wineries in the Maipa valley and the tour was well organised. Talked about the history of the wines and the processes. At end of the tour sampled 5 wines and were given glasses to take away.

Awesome grounds and we had a very nice girl give us tour in English. It was one of the three wineries we visited outside of Santiago, and this one didn't disappoint. It's a beautiful place and the wine tasting was good, although we only had crackers to pair with the wine and not having other options felt a bit short.

The tour is excellent. The have a lot of different price points for wine. Souvenirs are affordable.

My third visit to this amazing museum. Enjoy the eclectic collectibles gathered by Neruda on his world travels. Be sure to watch the film at the beginning (Spanish with English subtitles) as it provides essential historical context for the wonders you will see on the tour. Self-guided with a recording for each "stop". The restaurant has excellent food, with a menu inspired by Neruda's own culinary tastes and life story. He was particularly fond of hearty soups and stews! Perfect food if the weather is chilly...on an astounding patio overlooking the pounding surf of the Pacific. Excellent gift shop with books, clothing and collectibles. Lovely setting - public beach below, steps from the door of the museum. However, do not swim as the undertow is an extreme hazard. There are many artisans and craftspeople selling jewelry and souvenirs outside.

Beautiful setting, fascinating glimpse into the life of one of Chile's best loved figures. There is a local craft market nearby as well.

Very nice museum/house! The introductory video was not too long and had English subtitles and helpful to watch. The waiting queue was a little long, but easy to manage with company. The audio guide was good to hear and also available in different languages as also the tour guide/aid spoke English. The audio chapters were interesting, maybe still a little too long, but all in all also just nice to stay in the rooms and not hushed away. The house and the story behind was impressive. Even would visit again!

I have been to Casa Isla Negra several times. It never fails to disappoint. Each time I see new details I may not have seen in previous visits. It really is an interesting place to visit. It is a little sad to see that the land is reclaiming Neruda's boat. I'm not sure if it may be preserved at some point.

The experience of being in the house where Neruda spent the last years of his life is magical. We analyze many details and objects of the place with their narration devices, which are available in Spanish, English and Portuguese. I went there about 16:10 and could only enter the house one hour later, because of the long line. Not only the interior of the house is amazing, but the view is also magnificent, the beach and the seagulls and the clear sky... It was totally worth the price.

Literally the most beautiful of all three houses, and absolutely huge. Looks like a castle. It's a little out of the way, but absolutely worth your time. After you're done in the house, you can go to the restaurant in the museum for some good food or to the Isla negra Beach that the house faces (careful, it's a no-swim zone). The house has boat and train aesthetics, and most of his collections that aren't books (it's too humid). Don't take photos inside!

I love all 3 of the Neruda house museums. Each and every one of them shows his creativity and warm, caring human spirit. I feel I get a glimpse of his soul in his houses.

We booked the carriage tour of vineyard (which they happily reorganised for us due to weather) and was really impressed with our guide Bastian, who was very charming and knowledgeable. The surroundings and scenery are spectacular with stables and horses grasing in the paddocks. The tasting was of high quality and the talk on history of vineyard very interesting.

Good experience. Awesome wine. Best Malbec in Chile

The most beautiful vineyard we visited while in the region. We had an incredible tour guide while on the horse drawn carriage tour, and it was a wonderful experience tasting several wines. Every person we talked to here was so kind and willing to answer all of our questions. I could’ve spent much more time exploring the grounds and drinking the delightful wine!

Beautiful place where you really find peace and passion for wine. Beautiful facility, would have loved to come with more time to enjoy a meal at the restaurant. Enjoyed the tour and the wine sampling was exceptional.

Had a great morning on the e-bike tour plus wine tasting with Isabel. It was just the 2 of us, so a very personal tour, and it was also harvest time, which made it more special. Isabel is a great guide, very knowledgeable, made us feel very welcome and speaks very good English. After a gentle pedal around the picturesque vineyards, we then tasted some very good wines with snacks in part of the lovely buildings. I highly recommend a visit to Viu Manent.

Great winery. Spectacular tour, you may see the vineyards while a short trip in a carriage pulled by beautiful horses. At the end, you can visit the family cellar, and if you are lucky you may keep one of the wines of the tasting. We choose the iconic Incidente ;)

We took the premium tour that includes a ride in a horse drawn carriage. The tour was fun and very informative. The tasting at the end of the tour was very generous and gave plenty of time to enjoy their excellent wines.

Absolutely stunning. An unbelievably extensive collection of fascinating objects, beautifully displayed and clearly very well taken care of. I questioned why the ticket covers 24 hours but after the museum I agree that there is too much to really see for one day! I go to a lot of museums but this has to be my all time favourite. I really enjoyed seeing the early marking machinery and the early tank. There is also a wide gauge steam loco with beautifully preserved rolling stock. A real joy to visit.

Indeed a very interesting museum and well worth your time and money! They have a collection on basically everything, from fossils to ancient ages to conquistadors and the modern age. Impressive set of artefacts and stories, you could spend more than a day there. I really do recommend. And they have a nice, safe, free parking just in front 😀

One of the best museums I've visited. Be aware that most of the signs aren't in English but I just translated with Google lens. I went back twice as the ticket allows 24hr entry.

Unmissable collection of thousand of well curated pieces of Chilean and universal history, your ticket is 24 hrs long so you can comeback to see every item

Without any doubt, the Colchagua museum is a must while in Santa Cruz if you like museums, of course, it has a brief introduction on how earth started, main ages from the paleozoic era l till our days, and it gets more detail in the southern American cultures, getting more detailed towards the ones who occupied the actual Chilean land, most of then sadly extinguished by the colonization process, who is also depicted, as well as the different periods of the Chilean history to finally ends with the Colchagua valley and its huasos, in brief, is a history tell as a funnel converging in this territory. It also has an industrialization area, mainly represented by late XIX and early XX centuries, beautiful machines, definitely lovely and also liked it very much a huge collection of amber with lot of bugs and plants captured within, you have the help of augmented lens to see them through the light. Sounds good, right? It is indeed, the only missing star is because some info is not totally accurate and most because there's no written info in other language than Spanish, that's all.

Excellent, excellent museum covering the whole history of Chile from prehistory up until the present, with especially impressive collections of precolumbian art, jewelry and tapestry. It's a private collection of impressive scale and quality. There are also fascinating exhibits on weapons, carriages and even the Chilean miner rescue of 2010. My whole family loved this museum

This museum is huge, i didn't think I'd spent this much time there but it was definitely needed. You'll end up going through a lot of history of Chile, from the oldest to recent stuff. The collection of items and artefacts us to be seen, be ready to spend hours wandering around. The building itself is a piece of history being a reconstruction after the previous building was torn down by an earthquake

I was a student here. Came back to see how it was doing. Glad to see that it is well kept. Still a unique and beautiful university.

If you want to just walk, play sports or enjoy nature and breathe deeply to forget quarantines and confinements, it is a very good alternative 💕🌄💕 just make sure you carry your coffee 😉

Beautiful place always, so different during the summer holidays.

Lovely campus, friendly students, and some good cheap places tp eat nearby.

The best university of the zone

Nice place to do a walking

best spot

A nice little accessible walk in the city of Temuco. There are a few routes going to and from the top of the hill, with a few tracks that's more for those wanting a bit of workout, though still doable for any fitness level. The cafe/restaurant at the top was closed when we went so can't comment on that, but just beside it is a lookout where you can see the city sprawled out from afar. Nice and quiet, we got lost a few times, especially in the forested areas. If you go through the main entrance, you have to pay a bit to get in (and slightly more for tourists!), plus the guy manning the office wasn't exactly the helpful and friendly type. You can still get in another way though! :) A must-do if you're in the area.

Nice trail and nice city view, a must-go in Temuco.

It is beautiful to enjoy with family and friends. Take water with you, you can rarely see car speeding but it happened to me once.

Dates: Sunday, Dec. 2017 Cost: $2.000CLP/pp for foreigners Pros: - Lots of trails to walk around with plenty of shade and quiet spots to sit and enjoy nature - Beautiful lookout spots to take pictures of the surrounding city. - You could definitely take a picnic and enjoy time out in nature here without being seen by others. Cons: - It's easy to get lost on a trail such that you have to trek back quite a bit of ways to get back to your car to check your phone often (you do have a signal) - We thought the restaurant would be open so we did not take any food with us the day we went and for whatever reason it was not open nor were any hours posted. Overall: We definitely plan to go back here and have a picnic and hike around the area, it's beautiful.

Great walk. Clean. Safe. Beautiful.

Good view of the city. Also a small restaurant at the top. A lot of birders get some special species here, if you are into that kind of thing. Easy drive up and down on mostly one way roads. 2000 peso entrance fee.

Long historic background we found in this symbolic hill, perfect for a day of trekking or cycling, the native forest is very well preserved, at the summit it counts with a little museum and picnic areas and the best overview of the flourishing city of Temuco. A must to visit.

Very nice park, with a wooden paths, nice to see it also with the kids, at the entrance you have some bars you can eat, couse in the park there is no possibility to make piknics,

Must see

A beautiful lake, had a lovely night!

Finoo

Super

Marvelous Nature!

Love it

Waterfalls everywhere and a lot of beauty to discover. If you walk all the way to the back, you will see really blue water.

This is what they call "the second entrance" to the Ojos de Caburga and where you can actually see the 3 waterfalls aligned, and the 4th on the other side. On the first entrance, along the S-905 road, the views are very limited. To get here by bus, you should get off at the El Cristo stop, walk +- 2km along the road S-919, and there will be signs indicating the way. The entrance was 2000 clp. Around noon is when the sun light hits all of the lagoon and the view is prettier.

It's ok. Maybe better in the summer? A few dinky little waterfalls and some clear water pools. I wasn't that impressed.

We were very positively surprised. Entrance is 2000 CLP and there is a lot of well maintained infrastructure, including modern bathrooms and multiple platforms to have a good view on the different waterfalls and lagoons. Apparently there are two divided properties with different entrances. I would recommend the one marked as "Parque Ojos del Caburgua", which has a better angle on the site.

Beautiful blue clear water pools surrounded by waterfalls. Plenty of picnic tables and places to sit and have lunch. The walks to see all the waterfalls is short and we’ll maintained with viewing decks and paths. It cost 10,000 pesos for our entire family and we spent about an hour. There were several restaurants and shops although all were closed when we were there.

Probably the most touristy spot in pucon. If you go into this knowing this it’ll be more enjoyable for you. Several platforms around the lagoons that end up being very crowded with people waiting to take pictures and then leaving. But even with the crowds it’s incredibly beautiful and absolutely worth the visit. Only takes about 30-60 minutes to see the whole area and tickets can be bought at the entrance If your looking for a more private experience then check out any of the numerous waterfalls along Rio palguin that’s about a 15-20 minute drive away

A gentile walk within a park where you can see a small part of this river, small but beautiful falls, and a crystalline small lagoon, they call it the Blue Lagoon. The Acces fee is 2 USD, you can spend about 1 hr here.

I climbed Villarrica several years ago. Awesome views, an exhaustive workout.

I’m 61, relatively fit, swim and hike 5-7 km at least once a week at home….and this was challenging. This is not an outing for a typical tourist , but if you are prepared for a good 5 hour workout the climb offers amazing views on the way up and from the top. Looking into the steaming crater is anti-climatic but as a whole the experience is worth it. Honestly , how can you pass on an opportunity to say you climbed a volcano. ‘ Butt sliding’ halfway down the mountain to return brings back childlike giddiness. The guides are amazing, professional, friendly and totally supportive. They are mountain goats relative to us tourists by the way, having to do this hike a few times a week at a minimum , I’m sure.

Absolutely breathtaking experience at Villarrica Volcano! One of Chile’s most iconic natural wonders, this active volcano offers stunning views, thrilling hikes, and a surreal sense of scale. I visited during clear weather and the snow-capped cone against the blue sky was unforgettable. The ascent is challenging but rewarding—whether you hike or take a guided tour with crampons and ice axes, the panoramic views from the top are worth every step.

Fun climb up in the snow and a great view up top.

Climbing an actual active volcano sounds pretty dope. It was! And super exhausting! The tour was phenomenal. The only downside was that we couldn't see any real lava #champagneproblems On the way down you get to use your little sled you've been carrying with you along the way and slide down the volcano on your butt. Interesting experience.

Finish climbing 10 mins ago, it was really an adventure and an great challenge. Several times nearly gave up, but finally succeed. Strongly suggest take the cable car for the first part of climbing remember to take sun glasses

Challenging climb but defined possible with crampons and ice ax, even without guide. Some mountaineering experience is important tho and you should feel comfortable in your gear

A piece of paradise in the national park, with hot thermal baths and ice cold waterfalls, surrounded by beautiful greenery. There are plenty of changing cabins, we were lucky to visit in the low season and it wasn’t too crowded there. There is a cafe on site in case you get hungry. Be prepared that the last 11 km of the road is unpaved. We couldn’t buy tickets in advance on the website - there was a problem with a foreign cards payments(I hope that was just a temporary issue)

Even more beautiful than the photos. A perfect variation of pools with different temperatures, icy cold to almost too hot to handle, so you’ll always find one you like. Both day and evening are amazing (at night the paths are lit). Spacious, never felt crowded, super kind staff. Truly breathtaking, one of my best memories in Chile.

Must! Probably the ambient, I mean the setting of the place, totally immersed in a gorge between the rocks within a Patagonian forest, with the thermal stream flows, spreading an energetic relaxation vibe all over. Many pools with different temperatures ranging, from 8 Celsius up to 46. Incredible experience. Recommend to go during low season, low temperature days, so you can have it all for yourself (August to October probably)

It was rainy and a little cold when I visited but it actually felt pretty great. I visited as part of a tour but these people are really strict about safety while you're visiting. They give you a locker key & keep your ID (so be sure you have it) as a "deposit". There are a good number of pools & they're all pretty large with different temps. They do have staff walking around constantly making sure no one's throwing anything in the pools or behaving badly. The lockers don't fit very much & be prepared to change outdoors even though the door locks. It was very peaceful. There is a Cafe onsite with food/drink and they have fire pits which was a nice touch given the weather when I went. Roads are pretty rough at points getting there so maybe take a tour.

18 natural hot pools with temperature 35°C-46 °C. 3 waterfalls. 2 cold pools and natural cold shower next pools. Places for toilet and changing room. Price was pretty high 43€ per person. They dont give you anything by the entrace for this price only key for locker. Too expensive. Extra charge for towels. No so many people out off season👍🏻.

Nice place to relax in some thermal baths. The scenery is beautiful and there weren't that many people in early September. It was a bit of a drive to get to on some gravel roads but was worth it. Kind of surprised they don't have digital sensors monitoring all of the baths as some appeared to be mislabeled or changed as not all baths are the same temperature all the time.

Humble, but extremely nature friendly spa. We were lucky with very few people. Great place.

Would get 5 stars if all the little finer details were seen too. Lots of small finishing touches that just need a little attention like loose wires from speakers visible in the dining rooms, poor sound proofing between rooms (beach front hotel), street dogs regularly on hotel premises, booking of hotel facilities only available on site at the particular hotel rather than cross centers (not hard for reception to call across and check availability for guests or a booking platform online to be out in place?). Otherwise most things were excellent, polite helpful (within bounds) staff, tasty food, beautiful settings etc.

Portal Salto Huilo Huilo is a gateway to exploring the natural beauty of Huilo Huilo Biological Reserve in Chile. Visitors can access the Sendero Salto Huilo Huilo, a self-guided trek leading to a cascading waterfall. The portal also offers the Sendero Botánico for those interested in the diverse plant life of the temperate rainforest. Here's a quick summary of what you can expect at Portal Salto Huilo Huilo: * Pros: Easy access to waterfalls and hiking trails, beautiful scenery (it depends on the tourist guide) * Cons: Limited facilities. Overall, Portal Salto Huilo Huilo is a great option for a day trip or a starting point for further exploration of the Huilo Huilo Biological Reserve.

Portal Salto Huilo Huilo is the entrance to the waterfalls named as the biological reserve where they are located. They are impressive. There are 2 companies that provide the park service, however I would recommend to take the Parque Neltume service, as it has much better view than Portal Salto service. You have to be prepared to walk down through steep ladders if you want to have a bottom view.

A visit to these falls has been one of the highlights of our trip. The falls are magnificent and the trail to get to them is fairly easy to negociate. The whole idea of the reserve is a good pne and it has cafes etc too but could do with clearer signing and a few more staff around......

It's a great place. The power of the water is impressive. Make sure to go all the way down to the bottom, river level, so you can see the falls from below.

Great trip and awesome waterfall views. 2.5 trekking hours really easy, except for a huge 50m stair in the wood. All worth it.

Marvelous place a gift of the nature...everything around is wonderful, I felt so connected to our earth and enjoyed all the surroundings...Hotel Nothofagus was perfect...was a wonderful weekend 😀

Google maps took me to a locked entrance, stay on Los Laureles. Good garden, some beautiful old trees so a very old park. We enjoyed the Japanese forest bathing, memorial and Miyawaki forest. The medicinal garden was not in good condition. Very peaceful walk it needs some more love and attention. Entrance was by donation.

We had a good time here. I would probably hang out by the river if I want to school here.

Excellent place, very close to the city. A lot of trees and birds.

This is an unusual botanical garden in that there are no flowers -- just huge, mature, stately trees whose grandeur and song ( in any wind) is captivating. Allow an hour to stroll, not hustle, through the experience. If you have your meditations or reading with you, allow more time. Sidelight: lots of fun student canoodling in the vistas and bushes.

Nice place to be at to connect with nature and enjoy a good reader day.It may need some signs to help turist identify certain areas.Overral, pretty good.

Cool place for hanging out or walking around. Good vibes because of all the different people that are visiting the garden.

Nice for a walk! Free entry.

This is such an amazing venue! 😀 the seafood is so fresh and there is such a great range of options. It is a good idea to visit here and have a walk around. There are a few people who are there to offer day trips and other tours around the area. Thank you to the stalls for the amazing food, which was so fresh and delicious! 😀 We will be sure to visit when we are next back

Great experience. A fish market with a lot of sea lions and birds.

Lots of fresh fish, fruit and vegetables, and cheese. A great place to see sea lions, vultures, and cormorants. We even saw a night heron!

Very reasonably priced fish and sea food, cheese, fruit and spices… it gets your juices going!!! 😁

Such a lively market with animals and humans coming together for the love of seafood. The salmon here is really good and you can try ceviche of 4 different kinds of fish. Worth a visit!

Nice open market with fresh produce!!

Fresh fish and vegetables, the sea lions are very impressive and so are the birds. A bit sad for the health of the sea lions though
