The name of the restaurant says it all: El Rustico!
One of Ben’s favorite meals of all times was at a very rustic Chilean BBQ spot on the way to La Campana National Park in Olmue.
All of the food was cooked in wood burning stone ovens in the middle of the restaurant.
Right next to the ovens, the chefs made homemade empanadas
and pastel de choclo.
After we stuffed ourself on lamb, we were ready for a hike in the national park.

We were particularly amazed that we could drive just 30 minutes outside of Vina, which was cold and overcast, and get to warm and sunny Olmue. On the way back to Vina, we saw some wild horses.
I particularly liked the bus stop signs which looked like huasos!
