Chile Travel Agents

Francisco was just absolutely amazing in helping me plan this trip. he was patient with all my changing requests, worked within my budgets. most importantly, he was always honest and that gives me the confidence to refer him to all my friends. His excursion choices were well thought out, with good companies. he went over and above his brief to help me with flight bookings that were not in his purview. he was always available on whatsapp, email. and responded quickly. my only regret is we could not meet. As he said, to meet, we have to now plan another visit to South America soon!
Thank you for everything

Our family had a really amazing trip to Chile. Angel our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was very responsive. We had a packed trip and being a long country we had quite a bit of travel to do. Our trip to Rapa Nui was once in a lifetime one. Angel had chosen good hotels for us, and the tour guides he had arranged were all excellent. We have always been pleased with Kimkim(We used them in the past for Peru) and this time around too they did not disappoint us. We will definitely be using Kimkim again for our next adventures. However if you are going to Chile, Angel is your man!!!

From the beginning of planning our time in Santiago with a trip to Easter Island, Angel our travel agent was incredibly responsive. He listened to what we wanted and demonstrated a willingness to adjust mid trip. He responded almost immediately to any questions or concerns.

On first day in Santiago we had a full day private tour organized including seeing Valparaiso, Vina Del Mar and a visit to a vineyard. We were met at the port (at the end of our expedition through the glaciers and fjords of Patagonia) by our driver Eduardo and an English speaking guide, Consuelo Ibarra. Eduardo was a great driver and Consuelo an excellent guide.

We were able to see and understand Valparaiso through her eyes as she lives here and she provided a great overview of everywhere we visited. Quickly learning our interests she was able to fill us in on history, politics, art and so much more. It was an excellent day and Consuelo provided us with excellent guidance for our second day exploring Santiago including great local vegetarian food, art installations, green space, many places not to miss when visiting Santiago.

After two days based in Santiago we flew to Rapa Nui, (Easter Island).

All of our airport transfers were taken care of and the drivers arrived promptly to pick us up or meet our flights. Additionally our hotel which we really liked, LaReve was in a great neighborhood, and very accommodating. As we would return here for one more day in Santiago they were happy to store our luggage.

On Easter Island we were booked for a private full day tour and a half day tour with our guide Alex, who met us at the airport. Alex was great and despite the wild weather, fog, rain, high winds, we managed to see all the sites with remarkably few tourists. Alex knew how to sequence our visits to each site. He was very knowledgeable. He was also quite thoughtful, orienting us to the Island before dropping us at the hotel so we knew where we could head on our own.

Despite the weather we had an excellent visit to this extraordinary remote historic island.

Our last day in Santiago was Easter and one of our scheduled tour visits the Bahai Temple was closed. Angel helped us rearrange the day and we received a prompt refund for the cancelled tours.

It was a great trip and the perfect addition to our exploration of remote southern Chile.

Our guide Consuelo made this tour exceptional. Her deep knowledge of the areas we visited made it very special . The wines we tasted were also excellent. Would have liked more knowledge about the specific wine making processes used here.

Chile is an outstanding country and destination. It certainly offers more than you could ever imagine with every landscape possible - one more stunning than the next. And, most importantly, the Chilean people could not have been nicer - from hotel staff to restaurant staff to ordinary people on the street.

We had the best time in Chile, and it is all thanks to Lorena!
Lorena was very responsive from the start until we were back home safely. It was a pleasure dealing with her and the rest of the team. She managed to stay within our budget and meet our needs. The hotels and activities that she picked were perfect and exactly what we would have chosen if we arranged our visit to Chile ourselves. Everything worked out perfectly according to the itinerary and the transport was well organised (from the airport pick-up to our rental car).
Here are some of the highlights of our trip:
1) Santiago:
- We stayed in the DoubleTree by Hilton Vitacura Hotel and we had an amazing stay. We loved the location as it was safe, close to a metro station and a large shopping mall.
- The Santiago day-tour was fantastic. Our guide, Hernan, was very friendly and knowledgeable.
- We had a private dinner with Gloria and Leo in their apartment. The food was delicious. This was a true Chilean experience.
- We had a wine tasting at Casas del Bosque in the Casablanca valley. Highly recommended.
2) Puerto Natales / Torres del Paine:
- We flew to Punta Arenas and took a bus to Puerto Natales. I would suggest a direct flight to Puerto Natales if possible.
- We stayed at Hotel Costaustralis. This hotel is well located and is close to all restaurants and shops and is on the waterfront.
- We had the most amazing time in Torres del Paine. The full-day tour of the park is a must. Our guide, Jhon from Patagonia Planet, was the best. He is very talkative and knowledgeable (and he takes the best photos without you even asking).
- I would also highly recommend doing a hike in the park. We were lucky to see a puma on our hike. Juan Pablo, our guide, was amazing!
3) Colchagua winelands
- We stayed at Hotel Vina la Playa. Amazing facilities, peaceful environment and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
- Lorena booked wine tours and tastings for us at Viu Manent and Montes vineyards. What an experience! I would also highly recommend eating lunch at the restaurant at Montes, Feugos de Apalta.

Gracias Lorena for organising this memorable trip for us! We had the most amazing time.
