Marcela Huidobro

I am deeply connected to nature and in love with the scenic wonders of Chile. I enjoy every outdoor experience such as hiking through towering forests, gazing at majestic mountains, and listening to the flow of a river.
Chile is a unique place where you can visit a ski resort up in the Andes Mountains and watch the sunset at the Pacific Ocean on the same day. Or enjoy the magic of the driest desert in the world and the next day gaze at the glaciers of the Southern Ice field.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I have visited Chile from up North in Putre down to Cape Horn. My favorite locations are Torres del Paine, the glaciers and the Atacama Desert.
I will be glad to help you design a customized itinerary that meets your needs and interests, including the best wine tours, trekking through ancient forest, all combined with local culture and traditions."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I love to see how visitors admire and enjoy Chile's culture and attractions.
Sharing my knowledge and the beauty of my country with other tourists is a rewarding experience. It's a great way to foster cultural exchange and create lasting memories for every client."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I had the opportunity of spending some days at an Estancia in Tierra del Fuego, sharing the farmers activities with sheep. We were surrounded by uninhabited land, Lenga forest, and guanacos. The daily menu was lamb in every possible culinary preparation. A place and moment I treasure as a unique and one-off experience."

Excursion to Torres del Paine National Park

Embark on a day trip from Puerto Natales to the Torres del Paine National Park, known for its mountains, glaciers, and hiking trails. For this excursion, it's common to start by exploring Cueva del Milodón ("Milodon Cave"), home to a replica of a prehistoric sloth that once lived in the caves....

There are many natural wonders located in Chile's portion of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, and Glacier Grey is one of them. A catamaran excursion on the Grey III pays a visit to Glacier Grey, which feeds the lake of the same name. The boat travels across the lake and stops close to the...

We had a wonderful trip to Chile. Our agent, Marcela, crafted an exceptional itinerary—she listened carefully to our wishes and adapted plans seamlessly when changes arose.
The Atacama Desert was breathtaking, and our guides, Rodrigo and JP, were incredibly knowledgeable about the region’s geology, history, and Andean wildlife. Rapa Nui was unforgettable; learning about the Moai and the Birdman competition brought the island’s rich history to life. In the Colchagua Valley, we enjoyed sampling outstanding wines amid stunning scenery, which was the perfect way to round out the journey.

Amazing scenery around San Pedro de Atacama, in particular the high elevation drive to and visit of the Tatio Geysers with guide Diego, and the Valley of the Moon hike. We saw many vicunas and flamingos!
In the Lake District town of Puerto Varas our stay at Casa Molino was amazing, with an other worldly view of Vulcan Orsono across Lago Llanquihue, with the full moon rising. Our guide there Patricio was very knowledgable on our beautiful tours of Parque Nacional Vicente Perez Rosales and of Isla Grande de Chiloe.
The final destination in our travels to Patagonia's Parque Nacional Torres del Paine offered amazing natural scenery. Staying in/near the park at Hotel Lago Grey Hotel and Los Torres Patagonia was worth it, allowing us to experience the evenings and mornings in the park. The boat tour on Lago Gray to the glaciers was beautiful. And our ultimate experience, the all day hike to the the spectacular Torres Mirador was a life experience - very challenging and totally worth it. Our Patagonia driver Daniel and guide Leo were both excellent in informing us about the history, culture and environment of Patagonia and answering our many questions.
Overall our trip to Chile was well organized by Kimkim, with seamless transport between airports, hotels and tours which allowed us to concentrate on enjoying our holiday and the amazing scenery of Chlie.

Hotel Review
Hotel Casa Molino

We really enjoyed Casa Molino, one of nicer hotels at which we have stayed. The hotel is a grand house in the countryside and right on Lago Llanquihue, with a view across to Vulcan Orsono that is unreal. We had a 2nd floor very comfortable room with huge windows facing that amazing view. The grounds and the house are immaculately kept and beautifully designed, with peaceful indoor and outdoor areas to relax and take in the view. The property has a nice short garden walk down to the lakeshore to its small beach, very nice. While staying at Casa Molino we had all our dinners there, the food and service was some of the best we had during our travels in Chile.

Authenticity & Character
This seems to be a grand country house that was converted to a botique hotel. The design of the house and the interiors is nice, warm, serene and inviting to just relax and take in the view. The grounds area also beautiful and well kept and a beautiful backdrop to the lake and house.
Location
Right on the lake and the view of Vulcan Orsono is world class. The hotel is in a rural location away from Puerto Varas which I consider a plus - quiet, peaceful and relaxing. There are country roads around that look interesting for walks and biking, we did not have time to try this.

Then to a nice viewpoint overlooking the Valley of the Moon and San Pedro for snacks and cocktails at sunset which was nice.

Your journey was organized on relatively short notice and during the busy holiday season, which naturally brings some logistical challenges. That’s why it’s especially rewarding to hear that everything came together nicely and that you were able to enjoy each destination and every moment along the way.

The communication that Marcela provided from start to finish was amazing. I had never booked with a travel company before and this experience won’t be able to be topped. My guides in Puerto Natales were one of my favorite parts of the trip. Both through Patagonia Planet. Jhon on the all day bus tour through Torres del Paine was phenomenal! Paz on the lago Sarmiento hike in the park was incredible. You could tell they love what they do and love to share the area with people who appreciate it!

But I leave most impressed with the young men and women who were our guides in San Pedro de Atacama and Patagonia. They guided us in areas of extreme weather conditions, while educating us in all that pertains to the native wildlife, plants, vegetation, and even geology of the region. They maintained a positive attitude and high energy throughout. It was truly a pleasure to learn about Chile through them.

The process of working with Marcela to plan our hotels, activities, transfers, guides, etc was so easy. We gave her a brief idea of where we wanted to spend our time, as well as what kinds of activities we enjoy, and she did a fantastic job creating our itinerary.

We had a fantastic week exploring Chile's lake district, Santiago, Valparaiso, and wine country. The process of working with Marcela to plan our hotels, activities, transfers, guides, etc was so easy. We gave her a brief idea of where we wanted to spend our time, as well as what kinds of activities we enjoy, and she did a fantastic job creating our itinerary. It was nice to have a knowledgable guide, from the area, give recommendations on hotels and activities, as well as line up drivers and guides. We enjoyed our time with Matisse in Vicente Perez Rosales National Park, had a blast river rafting on the Petrohué River and loved exploring Valparaiso with Soli. We highly recommend hiring Marcela to assist with planning an unforgettable visit to Chile.

This is a stunning property. The hotel and grounds are so beautiful and relaxing, and our room was spacious and very comfortable. We loved the tour of the grounds and went on some nice long hikes around the property.

Hotel Eco Boutique Bidasoa

We spent one night at this beautiful boutique hotel in Santiago, and I wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel is in a nice location, has stylish decor and the staff is wonderful.

Dear Michelle and Steve,

Thank you so much for taking the time to send your review!

I'm happy to hear that you had such an enjoyable trip, especially after your trekking adventure in Torres del Paine. It was a real pleasure meeting you in Puerto Varas, and I trust you leave Chile with wonderful memories.

I hope that the rest of your family will be inspired to join you on a future trip to explore the Atacama Desert, Easter Island, or other incredible destinations in South America!

Wishing you all the best and looking forward to staying in touch.

Warmest regards,
Marcela
