The view from here is amazing. This is my second trip to this ethereal land within a year of each other. First was the Southern provinces of Patagonia. Which lead to the craving to see so much more of South America. The Northwest regions of Argentina’s frontier lands, to stand on the Tropic of Capricorn, And who better to make it happen than my trusted friends at KimKim. Ana, my darling one of kind planner. Give her your wish list and she will make it happen. Take it from me, I’m hard to please and Ana didn’t fail me on this second go-a-around.

I can truly say that I’ve managed to see a forceful awe-inspiring wonder that is Argentina’s Northern provinces. Mendoza, Tunuyán, Luján de Cuyo, Salta, Cafayate, Maimará, Purmamarca, Tilcara, Humahuaca, Pucara de Tilcara, San Salvador de Jujuy, Guachipas, the Wetlands of Pellegrini, Lago Iberá. Folks you have to be in good physical shape for the wetlands, (no back injuries, no anxious behavior, or motion sickness if you are prone.) As this road is treacherous to getting to your destination. Approximately a 7 hour drive from Misiones to Corrientes to Pellegrini. But so worth it. If you are game. The beauty and its powerful effect of mindfulness and tranquility is absolutely incredible. A land untouched by time. Animal enthusiasts will sure want to experience this land.

A sincere shout out to the guides, drivers, and hotel staffs who become part of my family while visiting and exploring their beautiful country. Daniel- a kind sprint his dedication in getting up at an un-godly hour of the morning to take me to the airport in order to catch my domestic flights to my destinations. Ramiro my triple AAA 1# Trekking and mountain explorer who took me to 4500ft above sea level elevations just to catch a view of the highlands and into the life of the Vicuñas territory. Guided me through the Salinas Grandes Salt Flats, showed me the beautiful history of Andean culture and the ruins of Pucara de Ticara as old as 5000 bc. And managed to share a meal with me and my family in the Pena’s of Salta to drink and laugh hysterically as we listened to folklore music and the history of samba culture, where the youth of today still is passionate of its music and heritage that is Salta to this day. A beautiful and kind city full of music, dance, and history, and the best empanadas this side of my beautiful Mendoza. I can go on and on, but you need to experience this for yourselves. I’ve just given you a small taste of what South American means to me. My pachamama. Love to all. Sandra Rawlings

From the 1892 Colonial Mission Style hotel, to the town square with all its shopping. I was fortunate enough to see Salta celebrating their Anniversary this day. Parade of Gauchos and China's on traditional attire, dancing through the town of Salta, gauchos yipping and hollering while the crowd watched in awe. Taking pictures at the marvel coming down the street. Our guide Ramiro, knew one of the gauchos and flagged him over to where we were on the steps of the Cathedral and I took a picture with a gaucho. Getting my shoes shined by an old world traditional back in the 40's was a treat. Eating pastel de papa, at an outdoor cafe while a troop of young Salteños matching through the town in uniform and wearing the Salta flag, all ages from 5 to 18. Wow!!!! can't get any perfect than that. Late night shopping, make sure you bring extra luggage to carry it all back with you.

I can't stop raving about the smaller wineries in this region. Salta's Torrentes wines are one of a kind, especially at this little winery that specializes in sparkling wines. Burbujas Winery. I met Andres and his lovely wife. His family owned winery is custom to small runs but his story and legacy from the Noruega blood line is what you need to stop and listen as he describes his craft as enólogo. And how he nurtures the land, Ecosistma. and cradles his craft. I highly recommend these type of vineyards to the larger ones

Lot's of tourists, and super hot when the sun beats down on the salt flats. But a sight to behold, on how they mine the salts from this volcanic paradise. Make sure you take protection and drink plenty of water the elevation is brutal to those that push themselves too hard in this valley. you reach height of approx. 4200km back to 2500km within hours, so try to have fun without the expense of pushing your body to hard, slow and easy wins the race.

Matias was extremely knowledgeable about the places we traveled to and so enthusiastic and helpful in planning our trip to Chile and Argentina! Even for my million questions, Matias always provided timely feedback and was willing to hop on a video call, which made the trip and planning feel that much more personable. Couldn't have had a better experience, the trip was so well organized. We had an app to track our daily activities, pickups, and contact info, and everybody from Matias to the lodging front desk to our tour guides were so well coordinated.

We have always planned trips ourselves, however this trip we decided to use KimKim for our trip to Argentina and we could not have been more pleased.

The execution was completely flawless as we went from Buenos Aires to El Chalten and to El Calafate. Ana designed the trip based on our likes and everything was better than we could have expected. Our drivers were fantastic, always on time and ready to go and our guides were a 10 out of 10.

In Buenos Aires, Enrique showed us around the city with great detail and patience, while Aime showed us a fantastic time at the Estancia excursion. On the next leg of the trip, Monica met us in El Calafate to transfer us to El Chalten which was a highlight of our trip. Our hiking guide, Virginia, took us on a 9hr hike to the summit to view Fitz Roy and it was special. Virginia was informative, patient, fun to connect with and made our experience very special. On day 2 we did the rafting experience which, again, was fun and flawless. Next we ventured down to El Calafate where we visited Estancia Christina which was another unforgettable experience in remote Patagonia. Next, Vanessa met us and took us into Glacier National
Park for an unforgettable experience. After hiking the glacier, Vanessa spent the next 3 hours walking us along the walkways of the glacier and educated us on everything about the culture, the park, and the glacier.

In summation, all of our guides truly loved what they did and they took the time to share what they knew with us which made the experience that much better. Ana and the team from KimKim did an unbelievable job creating an itinerary that was perfect for us and delivered on everything from flights, transfers, guides, hotels, and overall execution. I’m not sure we have ever traveled and had everything go perfectly according to plan……until now! Thanks Ana and KimKim!

Eduardo drove and Valeria was our guide through beautiful Buenos Aires. The neighborhood tour was my favorite, but I can’t forget the stroll through Recoleta cemetery. In Iguazu we colored the Brazilian and Argentinian parks over two days with Gisela. The Hotel Melia was the loveliest I’ve ever seen. I’ll never forget the days at the falls. In Mendoza we were connected with our itinerary with Marco, another knowledgeable and friendly host. We have never traveled in this concierge style guided luxury, but I can’t imagine doing it differently. I certainly wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much trying to make it happen all on my own or just rambling through unfamiliar towns and wondering what to do. Everything the service connected us to was high-quality, and while some of it was on this side of “touristy,” it was all an elevated level of hospitality and comfort and enjoyment.

The hotel is very centrally located for driving and walking activities. It was very clean. The linens particularly were very comfortable. Was a little loud in the evenings and mornings as we were on the side of the street. The breakfast was beautiful and ample. The staff was very formal and professional, more informative than friendly.

From the welcome drink and towel to the breakfast buffet this hotel was the must luxurious of the trip. The proximity to the national park was second to none. The monkeys, while a nuisance to the staff, we’re an absolute delight to the guests. We particularly enjoyed the other visitors to this hotel. Lots of lovely families and couples. Pricey but worth it if you can swing it. I’ll dream of that breakfast buffet for ever!!

Posada Borravino
Chacras de Coria

30 min outside of Mendoza city, and a 30 min walk to the small town’s centrum made the location of this guest house questionable. The room was basic. The hotel itself could’ve had lovely ambience and a family or homey feel however, we never saw the same staff members twice so I felt like we could never connect with the place. Dinner service was spotty in the restaurant so each night we had to make the long walk into the village to find something to eat. Breakfast was limited and very basic bread and jam and fruit.

Authenticity & Character
Quaint and cozy but we felt a bit like we were intruding rather than guests.
Location
Too far to be without a car

Nice enough but never saw the same people twice. And since the whole idea of a Posada is to feel like you’re in someone’s home, it rather had the opposite effect.

Ana did an INCREDIBLE job with our trip. The hotel choices were amazing, the excursions were so worth the visit and the guides were such wonderful human beings. ❤️❤️ We loved every second. I'm an experienced traveler but this was my first time taking my young daughter out of the country on my own and everything was seamless. The transfers were so easy. Flor was so kind to give us the best intro to Buenas Aires. Maria made the gaucho day extra special. And of course Coti was the perfect guide... Read more

Everyone was so kind and patient with my daughter. We had the absolute best time thanks to Ana and her team! She was so easy to work with and helped build the absolute perfect trip for us. Worth every penny!

Wow. What a day. Coti (I hope I'm spelling that correctly) was the perfect guide for such incredible sights. I've seen pictures but there's nothing like walking around and above the falls and feeling the mist. An absolute must do.

What a great day!! The birds were so neat! We loved walking around inside the cages with them. Also, the Brazil side of the falls is nothing to miss!! I'm so glad we got to see the falls from both sides and walk out to the Devil's Throat. I have never in my life seen such an incredible sight. We also got to add on a boat ride under some of the falls! Be prepared for a fun ride and to get soaked!

The staff was very helpful as eight of us descended on them at the start of our visit to Argentina. They helped get rooms ready and held back food for some of us who arrived on later flights. Very kind of them to hold our bags for a week as we went to Iguazu and Mendoza, as we were returning back to this hotel.

Were told to be careful which direction we went as some areas were a bit sketchy
