Ana Maibach Cikes

As an Argentinean with an unwavering passion for travel, I have always been captivated by the wonders of the world around me since childhood. Argentina, in particular, holds a special place in my heart, with its astounding diversity and incredible cuisine that never fails to impress.

Throughout my extensive travels across the country, I have had countless enchanting experiences, and it's safe to say that I have fallen in love with Argentina many times over. However, it is the northern region, especially Salta, that truly resonates with me and feels like my home away from home. Every moment spent in awe of the magnificent Hornocal has left an indelible mark on my soul.

Journeying through Argentina is a constant voyage of discovery, where every step brings forth new flavors, enticing aromas, historical landmarks, and breathtaking natural wonders. It is a land brimming with vibrant life, boasting a distinctive identity that is ever-evolving and never ceases to amaze.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"We are destination specialists with insider knowledge of each country. We specialize in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil, and Uruguay. We offer integration of travel services to provide a complete, consistent experience - particularly useful for multi-country itineraries featuring the main highlights of South America's most southern regions."

How did you get involved in travel?

"My professional journey began as a sales manager in my hometown, where I quickly discovered my affinity for working closely with people. However, it wasn't until I arrived in Cordoba that I truly delved into the inner workings of travel agencies. It was during this time that I had an epiphany – I could merge my two passions: travel and fostering connections with others.

In Cordoba, I embarked on a voyage of self-discovery, immersing myself in the intricacies of the travel industry. Through this experience, I realized that I could effectively channel my love for travel into a career that allowed me to interact with people on a daily basis. The prospect of combining these two fundamental aspects of my life filled me with immense excitement and a deep sense of fulfillment.

Now, as I embark on this new chapter in my professional journey, I am grateful for the opportunity to pursue a career that allows me to intertwine my passion for travel with my innate ability to connect with others. I am excited to leverage my knowledge and expertise to create remarkable experiences for fellow travelers and help them uncover the wonders of the world."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"When I was approximately 10 years old, my father took me on a memorable motorcycle journey to the mountains. We spent several hours immersed in the picturesque landscapes, passing through charming villages and savoring a meal alongside the highway. As we navigated the winding roads, we had the opportunity to interact with local residents, engaging in heartfelt conversations that left a lasting impression on me.

Even now, as time has passed and my heart yearns for my father, I hold onto that cherished memory, forever grateful for the experience we shared. It serves as a reminder of the invaluable lesson he imparted: that every day presents a wonderful opportunity to cherish the company of those who bring us love and joy. Moreover, he instilled in me the belief that investing in travel is an investment in life itself.

With this profound understanding, I have come to recognize the profound impact that quality time spent with loved ones can have on our lives. I carry my father's wisdom close to my heart, as it continues to inspire me to create meaningful connections, explore new horizons, and make the most of every precious moment."

Ana and her team were excellent in helping us plan and complete our awesome trip to Chilean and Argentinan Patagonia. I appreciate how proactive and attentive to detail they were in every phase, including helping us stay on budget. At one point our flight was cancelled because of a nationwide airline strike and they quickly arranged for a new itinerary and helped us file a travel insurance claim with a third party. I highly recommend kimkim for their professional service.

Julian, Laura, and the team on WhatsApp were responsive all the time whenever we needed. Thank you so much! Because of knowing that you were going to be there for us all the time, we could have a peaceful trip.

Our drivers and guides were all amazing and professional. A special thanks to our private tour guides Chris, Romi, and their drivers. Also, we had a long drive from El Calafate to Torres del Paine, and another one from Torres del Paine to Puerto Natales in one day, and both drivers, Fabricio and Carlos, were absolutely amazing. We can’t thank you enough! Hope you made it safe back home, Fabricio! My family still talk about that ride and you. And, thanks for making few stops for us, Carlos! We had no idea that our full day tour next day wasn’t going there.

Thanks again to Kimkim and Ana for this unforgettable trip especially for my parents. We loved every single place we visited.

Our 12 day father/son trip to Patagonia was spectacular and we had a wonderful time! Many thanks to Ana at Kimkim for organizing an excellent trip. We started in Chile (Santiago, Puerto Natales) and went to Argentina (Calafate, Ushuaia and Buenos Aires).  In Chile, we did 3 excursions to the Base Towers, Grey Lake to see the glaciers and the Cuernos hike. Our guides in Patagonia were amazing and kind and took care of us (special thanks to Victor and Genisys at Massif). We then did the glacier hike at Calafate which was amazing and again had wonderful guides. We then flew down to Ushuaia to see the penguins - a truly magical experience to walk with them on the island. Also hiked in the Tierra del Fuego National park and took the end of the world train.  Ushuaia is the southernmost town in the world and it was great to visit. Our last stop was in Buenos Aires - took in a tango show, city tour and a Tigre tour and it was great to experience a vibrant city. All of our hotel accommodations, ride pickups, excursions happened on time and everyone was so kind!
Thank you Kimkim for helping us with a trip of a lifetime!

Hosteria Senderos

This I remember. Because, I decided not to do trekking as it was too cold for me. So I enjoyed although small from my usual rooms, got a view of Mt Fitz Roy from my room. Learned more of the small town.
