On the way to Siete Tazas, we stopped by Astorga family's friend, Alejendro's house...or I should say castle...
He was quite a character. Aside from raising his three children, he has dedicated his entire life into building, renovating, and maintaining this ferry-tale-like castle. He open his castle to the public, welcoming people to visit. He grow his own grapes to make wine. Other than these, the rest of his life remains mysterious.

Kara and Chris enjoyed drinking the "purest" water in Chile.
What Alejandro relies on for living is his water source on his property. He claims that his water in one of the purest in Chile. In fact, there was a Japanese scientist, Masaru Emoto, came to visit Alejandro and tested his water. It was indeed quite clean, but I'm not sure about if it's the "cleanest" in Chile.
Alejandro took us to see his water well in the forest. |

Alejandro was telling us that the well is actually 300 meter below the ground. Emoto tested this water and said to him that the water has memory. However, this claim doesn't only apply to Alejandro's well but to all water, according to Emoto. His water theory has been very controversial since he published his first book in 1999, and many following afterwards.
Nonetheless, that place was special. The energy flow was calm.
