Lorena helped us plan an amazing trip to Argentina to see penguins, a lifelong dream. Our guides Mery and Fabian were incredibly knowledgeable about the area and shared their love of the culture and natural history. We had a beautiful trip thanks to Kim Kim, thanks!

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Mery and Fabian were so well versed in the history, culture and wildlife of Patagonia. Their clear love of their home was evident and made us appreciate the experience even more.

Transport

We had a slight communication error at the airport, but everyone jumped in and got us to our hotel with a small seat, but every day we were picked up on time and had a great relaxed experience, which is what we wanted. We had some great conversations en route to our destinations, and time seems to go quickly.

Chile is an outstanding country and destination. It certainly offers more than you could ever imagine with every landscape possible - one more stunning than the next. And, most importantly, the Chilean people could not have been nicer - from hotel staff to restaurant staff to ordinary people on the street.

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.

Such an amazing trip! Lorena did an excellent job planning this trip for me. She ensured I made it to all of the cities that I had on my list and set up all the hotels and transportation to make this adventure possible. Valentina assisted me while I was in Chile. She kept everything running smoothly. If I ever had a question, she would respond promptly, and I had a lot of questions! I'm so thankful for her assistance when I got confused. Some of the stand out tours on this trip were: the Full Day Tour of Torres del Paine from Patagonia Planet, Rafting on the Petrohue River with Ko'Kayak, all of my tours on Rapa Nui with Nico from Maururu Travel, exploring the Atacama Salt Flats and Lagoons with Hugo, and finally the trip to the Tatio Geysers with the greatest tour guide of them all, Anita from Tourismo Chile Tours!

Absolutely do this tour! You get a chance to visit so many historic places and get great explanations along the way. Rapa Nui is truly a special place. To finish the tour you will stop off at a beach and have a chance to go swimming with Moai directly on the shore. How cool is that?!

The Valley of the Moon is beautiful. It was nice to do a bit of hiking and it's good to plan this trip early in your stay in San Pedro.

I’ve been all over the world, but I found Patagonia to have its own special and unique beauty that sets it apart from other destinations (New Zealand, Norway, Iceland, Alaska, etc.) Highlight for me was setting foot on Cape Horn after being welcomed by a stunning sunrise and spectacular double rainbow before boarding our Zodiacs. The Australis cruise was phenomenal in every way, especially the crew’s service ethic and organization. Transfers and tours departed right on time. Quality of the guides was mixed, but overall satisfactory. Other personal highlights were the lamb at Jau Restaurant in Natales and my stay at Singular Patagonia— most unique place I’ve ever hung my hat with an exceptional staff. Grand finale was Pepito Moreno— best day of all! The Chilhoe Island tour was the only one I did not care for— too much driving, too little time out of the bus. Also unreasonably long- pick up 8am return to hotel 9pm. Overall, I’m very pleased with my journey and Lorena’s great work in making it happen. Also enjoyed meeting and getting to know Juan on the transfer from Natales to Arenas.

I can't say enough about the entire experience. All the transportation, accommodations and guides performed and exceeded our expectation. Weather was the only factor that affected our trip.

All ground transport was waiting for us when we exited our flights or checking out in the lobby of our hotels.

Hotel staff at the The Uman Lodge Patagonia was excellent. They communicated with the outfitters during our stay to make sure that our activities and pick up times coordinated. One negative comment about the hotel is the access road, a very rough and rocky road. but once you got to the top, it was majestic.

We also really appreciated our private transport from Puerto Arenas. He was an excellent guide as well.

if rough weather is visible, maybe advise travelers that if you get sea sick, you may want to go on a different day so the rest of the passengers will not miss out on the experience as we did because they turn the boat around due to a few passengers getting sea sick. They should understand that seeing the glacier is one if not the biggest reason people come to the area.

The planning and the coordination of the entire trip was excellent and without any issues. This is my first time using KimKim and it won't be my last! For the Full Patagonia Trip, I decided to go with a travel planner and agency because it requires a lot of logistics and coordination with agents and other companies in Chile and Argentina. Lorena, our travel expert, did a SUPERIOR job with the itinerary (11 days). During the planning phases of the trip (which began a year in advance), Lorena listened to my requests, concerns, and my adventurous soul, and put together a stellar trip and experience. The final itinerary containing everything from drivers' names, tour companies, phone numbers, descriptions, meetings points was detailed and remarkable. I traveled with my best friend and we have returned with many great memories!!! THANK YOU!!!

In reference to the language, I speak Spanish; therefore, it was not difficult to communicate with people. However, many people speak English in Chile and Argentina. It will be helpful though to learn some basic Spanish words if you only speak English.

As soon as we arrived to Santiago, Chile, our driver, Alejandro (TURISMO MILODON) was waiting for us. He drove us to Hotel Ladera and we checked-in in the morning because we decided to pay for the previous night to have a secure early check-in. This is something I always do when arriving early morning to a hotel. Soledad "Sol" "Sole" was our Santiago City Tour that afternoon. Soledad and Alejandro (driver) provided a comfortable environment and gave us great information about Santiago. We walked around the city and visited many of the landmarks. Although I have visited Santiago in 2010, it was great to have those memories back. Soledad is a great guide tour--she is full of information. We have many conversations related to history, politics, religion, and the Chilean genealogy (DNA testing, etc.). Great job Soledad!!! Abrazos!!!

Visiting San Jose Volcano and Andes Mountains with Ando Andes was great. Thank you to Andres, Matias, and Laura. It was Laura's first day doing the trekking with Andres and she dis a GREAT JOB!!! I hope you get the job. Meeting other travelers from other parts of the World was a highlight as well. It was a small group and everyone was very friendly. Thank you for the surprise---- Andres and company organized a "picnic." There was wine, juice, water, olives, crackers, cheese, cookies... all was included! THANK YOU GUYS!!! ABRAZOS!

After Santiago, we began our Patagonia adventure. We took an early morning flight (5:45am) to Puerto Natales. Patagonia Planet was the transport in Puerto Natales. I can't remember the driver's name but he was providing historical information about the town--- very kind of him! Hotel Costaustralis --- AMAZING! The view from the room was to the bay and the mountains. The staff and the food (breakfast and dinner) was very good!!! There was a restaurant in Puerto Natales called EL BARCO (highly recommended)--great ASADOS AND FISH!!! The handcrafted beer (brewed on the premises) was very refreshing.

The hike to Torres del Paine National Park by W Circuit was out of this world. The team of guides: Ramiro, Seba, and Hector was gentle, friendly, and very professional. Once again, a small group and they were checking on everyone's safety because it is a very demanding hike and trekking (4 hours going up and 4 hours coming down). Once you get to the Base of Torres del Paine... you realized that it was worth it!!!

The transport from Puerto Natales to El Calafate, Argentina by Turismo Zaahj (Big comfortable A/C bus) was EXCELLENT. Funny and friendly drivers (there are 2 because they take turns), and the customer service provided at the El Calafate Station was superb. Ana at the front desk--THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF MY ISSUE. I lost my passport and wallet on the bus. Kimkim and Ana from Turismo Zaahj located it and returned it to me. SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL YOUR ASSISTANCE!!! We had a driver, Joaquin, who went far and beyond chasing the bus when I told him about the passport and wallet. AGAIN--PLENTY OF GRATITUDE.

Perito Moreno Glacier Mini Trekking was an incredible experience. Thank you to all the staff at the base of the Glacier and for the shot of whiskey at the end of the path. What a lovely surprise!!! This experience is worth it!!! Once again, thank you to Lorena for accommodating my priorities for this trip. It worked perfectly! And the weather was just ideal. This activity was special because it was done on the 31st of December (last day of 2023). What a way to end the year!!!
There are plenty of bars and restaurants in El Calafate and you cannot go wrong with variety and quality of the food and the service.

Lastly, Ushuaia--- Tierra del Fuego and the End of the World. Lorena scheduled great activities. The trekking and canoeing in Tierra del Fuego National Park was so peaceful and meditative. We learned to appreciate this planet more and more!!! Thank you to Luis (driver), Juan and Carlos. The home cook meal at the end was a real surprise.... with wine and great company. Small group of friendly people. The beef stew with vegetables was so good!!! Great coffee too! Lorena thought about all these details. Isla de los Fuegos transport was very professional. Ushuaia is a lovely town. The Beagle Channel and Penguins tour was EXCELLENT. I was able to be close to the Penguins. We visited Glacier Martial and that was done independently---- another hike and trekking but we got to the base of the Glacier. Terrific experience!

Overall, this adventure has been a very rewarding one. We were able to do many physical activities that, despite our excellent body fitness, it also requires a different mind set. Letting go of insecurities, anxieties, and fears was part of the lesson. Recognizing the importance of mother Earth and how to preserve it for future generations was also an important aspect of the trip. This was fun, mystical, educational, meditative, mysterious, challenging--- austral and worth it!!!

Thank you LORENA for giving us this unforgettable adventure!!! We will be back!!!
