An amazing and memorable experience from start to end!

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.
