Emilce Alonso
I'm from Cordoba, Argentina. I had the opportunity to travel a lot through it and beyond. I really enjoy getting to know new places, like typical food, music and meeting people.
I love the southern region where I experienced the magnificence of the Perito Moreno Glacier and the natural beauty of Bariloche and Ushuaia with their numerous waterfalls, lakes, forests, and snowed mountains. As I’ve already been to the south I would love to truly immerse myself in the culture of the arid regions in the north and enjoy their local traditions and craftwork.
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?
"I've always been very interested in learning different languages, cultures, and most impressive natural resources and architectural patrimonies of the countries where those languages are spoken.
That led me to work on something related to learning and specialization in certain places, especially the landscapes that surround me, those of South America, and especially of my Country."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"When I was very young, we went on a cruise trip across Argentina and Brazil with my whole family. I observed the different tasks that could be done in the area of tourism. It was then when I had a great interest in working in tourism."

After 3 flightss to get to San Pedro de Atacama, it was great surprise to see the service and how helpful was the GM (Rosario Villagra) and her entire staff at Nataya Alto Atacama Hotel.

Chile and Bolivia
We had a great trip to Chile and Bolivia arranged by Emilce.
At all times her service was immaculate, and her advice was essential to the success of the holiday.
In Santiago we had a good experience with our tour guide Francisco.
Highlights were the Nayara Atacama and the great guides we had there, particularly Alexis who was a local musician who played in an Andean band.
The journey to the Bolivian border we had an excellent guide and Giovanni our Bolivian guide... read more

The trip was amazing ! Really enjoyed all the tour guides they were very knowledgeable and caring. We especially liked our tour guide in Easter island patricia she went above and beyond to make our experience amazing and smooth and gave us a lot of tips for restaurants and the place. In Atacama dessert it would have been nice to know ahead of time that the tour started at 4:30 am in the morning. We were notified at 5:30 pm the day before the tour that we had to be ready that early which was... read more

May 6 - May 20, 2023

This was our first time using a travel agent (also our first trip to South America). Emi provided us a great itinerary (including key activities and hotels) which was easy to work with, and within our budget range. Planning was easy and payment was easy also. We had a great experience with the teams in-region on WhatsApp (especially as neither of us have strong Spanish- this came in handy for a lost property question and also to confirm if the information from the local guide on arrangements... read more

KimKim review: Emi was amazing and curated such a wonderful trip for us. Booking on KimKim was very convenient for us as we had very little time ourselves to plan a whole trip. The one aspect that caused some frustration was that Emi was only reachable by email effectively which makes the process very slow. I think even having one phone call to sort out small details and ask questions would have been much more efficient. In addition, factors outside of our control (big storms that take out... read more
