Halfway over the Andes, on the road from Mendoza in Argentina to Santiago in Chile, you get a chance to stop off at the tiny, quiet mountain town of Uspallata. There's really not that much to do here except take in the scenery - and what scenery. Seven Years in Tibet was famously filmed here. It's a stunning high-level valley surrounded by snowy peaks. We hiked through the Siete Colores range - vivid shapes and outcrops and the mountains changing colour from pale pink to deep purple against a blue blue mountain sky.

When you say "halfway over the Andes" I already get tired imagining hiking through the Andes. This looks like a very remote spot which makes it perfect for really taking in nature and taking a moment to reflect on the amazing things that you must have seen while hiking through the area. Looks amazing.

Chanel shoes has been a haute name in fashion and cosmetics for decades. The company also creates replica Chanel and chanel women jewelry and has a single license -- for eyewear with Luxottica. Founder Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel opened her first boutique in 1913, touting designs known for simplicity. Coco died in 1971, and Chanel's style stagnated for years until Karl Lagerfeld took over the designs and revived the label by tapping a younger market. The company boasts more than 160 boutiques worldwide. Controlled by chairman Alain Wertheimer's family, Chanel also owns Chanel boots and Chanel on sale Eres and manages seven ateliers through Paraffection.
