A very fun and active trip across Chile for the whole family. We started with Santiago after a few hours of rest and then the next 8 days just went by in a jiffy. Everything was arranged well and We were kept in the loop. Valparaiso is an amazing city and we really enjoyed the wine tour in the afternoon. Atacama is out of the world and we really enjoyed watching the stars and touring the desert with JP. Lagoons and Geysers were out of the world. Our most memorable experience was picnic in the moon valley followed by watching the sunset.
Patagonia was hiking adventure for me and I was glad that family joined me. It all culminated in going to Base Torres for the amazon views of the towers. While a bit hectic, it was a really awesome experience for the family. Thanks Kimkim and Lorena for the experience.

Watchin Saturn Rings and Band of Jupiter along with the Nebula was the highlight of this trip for me. Getting a few tips/lessons in astronomy before stargazing was also fun.

Amazing vistas. It was bit hot in the afternoon but a cool picnic followed by an awesome sunset helped.

My bucket list hike and it was a good way to end our trip (save the best for last). Last mile of the hike is rocky and quite steep. It can also get quite windy at the base. Good guides who took care of the group and kept us all together and motivated!

Food
Decent vegetarian option.
