That is a lot of travelling, depending on how much time you have. I spent just short of a month in Peru alone (lots of hiking in and around Cuzco/Machu Picchu).

For Argentina, Mendoza is a great place to start for wine. Really interesting country side, with river rafting and the like not too far away. Taking the bus across the Andes is something else. The windy roads (curvey, not wind-blown) are nuts. Personally, I preferred the Patagonia region to the south, with lots of mountains, lakes, glaciers, etc. (but no wine, IIRC). Bariloche was a great place to hang out. Buenos Aires is one of my favourite cities in the world. Spend some time there.

On the Chile side, Santiago and Valparaiso are nice, but again, I really liked the southern part, with the Torres del Paine area with unbelievable hiking and scenery.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
