Chile Package Tours

I traveled to Chile for three weeks in March. I spent the first week on Easter Island (Rapa Nui), the second in the Atacama Desert, and in the third week, three friends joined me for a trip to Patagonia.

I have to say, the experience was truly exceptional—far beyond my expectations. I was constantly in awe of the breathtaking scenery and the sheer beauty of the landscapes. I was also deeply impressed by the outstanding service and attention to detail provided by the local specialists, especially Lorena and Vale, as well as the local operators.

What I cherished most was the sense of being fully immersed in nature and present in each moment. I am so glad I made this journey to Chile—it was an unforgettable experience.

This was my first trip to Chile, and thanks to kimkim's assistance, the experience far exceeded my expectations. Lorena helped us with the planning, and especially our local guide in Puerto Natales—Jose—was truly outstanding. Every single day's itinerary was excellent; the nature, the people, and the food in Chile were all even more magnificent than I had imagined.

Let me start by saying how wonderful Marcela was. She replied almost immediately to any questions or concerns that we had...no matter what time of day or even on weekends. I can't say enough good things about her! She was sweet, attentive, and friendly whenever we contacted her. Muchas gracias Marcela!

At every hotel we stayed at, the staff was courteous and accommodating. The hotel properties were lovely. Breakfasts were delicious and so were dinners (when we ate at hotel restaurants.) I have to particularly commend Hotel Simple Patagonia. We arrived there on my husband's birthday and, at dinner, the staff presented him with an absolutely delicious chocolate birthday cake. (I'm sure Marcella was responsible for coordinating that.)

I also want to commend Hotel Ilaia in Punta Arenas. They were very accommodating in holding our luggage after checkout while we went on a city tour. We purchased food while on the tour and the hotel was very gracious in letting us use their dining facilities to eat our meal.

Guides for our excursions all spoke very good English and they were very knowledgable. The only caveat I have, is that some of the guides tended to walk very quickly and the slower walkers sometimes got left behind. And sometimes the guides would start their talks before everyone had caught up.
