Chile (Central Region)
San Fernando
A strong agricultural past is obvious here in this city founded in 1742. It is in a beautiful valley noted for its warm days and cool evenings. Of special note is Los Lingues, actually 15 Km away, a true colonial house now a hotel, but more than a hotel it is a tradition. Managed by the descendants of the original owners Los Lingues is now listed in Relais and Chateaux, it is really one of the highlights of any visit to Chile.  wpe79.jpg (12367 bytes)
