A week is just long enough to put together a Chilean vacation itinerary that covers the highlights of any one or two regions. You can enjoy any number of activities as well, be it skiing the Andes Mountains at the Portillo resort, cycling around the lunar valleys and salt flats of the northern Atacama Desert, or even jetting off to Easter Island to see the iconic Moai statues. For a less active but decidedly tasty adventure, take a tour of Chile’s famous wine valleys.

In Chile our local Kimkim team was in contact daily, providing updates and helpful suggestions. A big shout out to Thaiss and Riwal for their support throughout. We enjoyed our guided trips arranged by Kimkim and valued the independent travel suggestions they shared. We returned with great memories and pictures. We’ll definitely plan trips again with Kimkim.

Highest Praise for Francisco and the team at KimKim We can't speak highly enough about our team at KimKIm. Our 16 day trip to Patagonia, Atacama and Rapa Nui ran like clockwork. A team member was always almost instantly available (via WhatsApp) whenever we had a question. Not only were the hotels, guides and transfers excellent, they helped make dinner reservations for those of us who speak no Spanish. Just absolutely first rate, from start to finish.

Hotel Pueblo de Tierra
San Pedro de Atacama

A very interesting off the main square hotel. You'll need to walk for twenty or so minutes to get to the town square and the restaurants. (Most of the streets are dirt.) Rooms lack AC so they can get warm by day. No problem with nights or fans. Nice pool area to spend the daytime hours when not out enjoying the desert. Beer and beverages available. Lots of great local markets nearby.

Great location for seeing some of the nicer parts of Santiago. Uber to restaurants and museums are plentiful and not expensive. Rooms and bathrooms are compact. Fine for us who prefer to spend on food rather than lodging. But if you have a lot of toiletries, a little tricky.

My wife and I don't require fancy hotels, just at least a queen size bed and ensuite bathroom. This was just right. It is out of the city proper so you'll need to Uber to town (easy and inexpensive). The hotel restaurant and bar are fine, too.
