Chile Adventure Tours

My wife and I with my sister and her husband decided to use Kimkim to plan our trip to Chile and Rapa Nui (Easter Island). This turned out to be a great decision! Kimkim was great and planning the trip we wanted locating the best places to stay and the ideal tour groups. Further, Riwal was accessible to answer planning questions, responded to our wants and coordinated the trip once we arrived. For instance, we were picked up by the tour group on Rapa Nui and told we would need to purchase our tickets into the parks (~$100/person). However, we understood that these were already paid as part of the package. My sister sent a email to Riwal and, within minutes, the tour guide came to us to say he was mistaken and the tickets had been covered. In a different area, we saw the other hotels on Rapa Nui and were so glad we had Kimkim to pick an amazing one right on the ocean. It would have been impossible for us to compare hotels from our home. I would travel with Kimkim again in a second and am, in fact, considering our next trip with them now.

I travelled to Chile and Argentina from 10/03/25-10/17/25. I asked Lorena my travel expert to provide me an action adventure vacation that included the W trek in Torre Del Paine park Patagonia.
Lorena hit a home run with my itenary.
All the hotels I stayed in were very modern in awesome neighborhoods where I could walk to restaurants and shopping. She also arranged a bike tour in Santiago that was great
I had a friendly driver to take me to and from the
airports.
She arranged a local travel expert Valentina who was my WhatsApp go to for all my questions and on the ground support throughout my travel adventure. She was always available which took all the worry out of my vacation plans
The Wtrek 4day 3 nite in Torre Del Paine national park was amazing! It was a very challenging hiking experience but the scenery is stunning. Lorena picked the perfect amount of days for me to spend in the park. She also arranged my stay in the above ground tent which was a cool experience and all my excellent vegetarian meals.
My travel on the ground included extremely comfortable buses and it was awesome to sit back and view the beautiful landscape as I travelled from Chile to Argentina.
The hotels in Argentina were also super comfortable and the local hiking in El Chalten was great.
Lorena and Valentina did an amazing job providing me with a well thought out action adventure itenary in Chile and Argentina within my budget.
This is exactly what I wanted.

Hotel Review

Hotel Cumbres Lastarria

Santiago

The Hotel Cumbres Lastarria in Santiago was absolutely amazing. Located in the vibrant Lastarria neighborhood, which is bustling with street vendors, cool restaurants, and a lot of young, vibrant people, it was an ideal place to stay. The hotel itself was super deluxe and beyond what I imagined from the photos. The staff was excellent, and stepping out of the front door placed me right into the heart of everything. It was really convenient and a top-notch experience.

W Trek: Refugio Torres To Los Cuernos

Torres del Paine

The W Trek in Torres del Paine was an unforgettable experience. The scenery was breathtaking, and despite the challenges of varying weather from wind, sun, to sleet, it was a life-altering adventure. Navigating trails and sleeping in tents, I encountered nature in its purest form. The solitude I experienced was really special, and the journey was well-signposted, making me feel safe even when I was alone for hours. It's hard to compare this experience to anything else.

90% of our interactions were with Pamela, not Francisco - so this review is more based on those interactions. Pam was great - very responsive, flexible, always polite and very honest. Highly recommend working with her. We are used to dealing with much more expensive trips like Backroads and Jacada, which are a bit smoother, but are nearly 50-60% more expensive - which makes kimkim a very good value. The guides, tours and drivers they selected were very good - Angel in Santiago and Valparaiso in particular, as well as Eduardo the driver, were excellent.
