One week is enough time to plan any type of Patagonia excursion that strikes your interest. You could hike amid glaciers and granite peaks in Torres del Paine National Park, in Chile, or experience the highlights of Argentine Patagonia at Mt. Fitz Roy and El Calafate in Los Glaciares National Park. You could make a trip to Punta Arenas, also in Chile, and visit an island home to a colony of Magellanic penguins. For a true cultural excursion, hike around the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve,which is located at the southern tip of the continent and is home to indigenous Yagan people as well as the rugged Dientes de Navarino mountain range.

Seven of us (college class mates) did a Patagonia trip using KimKim. Erin as well as Jessica (Dittmar Adventures ) worked with us to customize our plan the way we liked it under her expertise. They helped us all the way through the trip. We did three beautiful hikes including Mirador base Torres, Laguna de Los Tres and Laguna Torre. We are all over sixty years old and different in fitness. Some did not compete all three hikes but we all completed one hike (Laguna de Los Tres) because of Fran, our guide from Walk Patagonia. She taught us the techniques to hike in this terrain when and how long to stop for water and snacks.

We recently booked a 10 day trip to Patagonia through kimkim and had a great experience. This was our first time ever utilizing this type of service and I can not recommend it enough.

Jimena was knowledgeable and helped us create the perfect itinerary based on our interests. She provided suggestions and recommendations and made necessary tweaks to fit our needs.
Jessica was extremely helpful and thorough walking us through everything prior to our trip to ensure we felt comfortable with the plan and had all last minute questions answered.

We had private drivers on two separate occasions who were both excellent. They were timely and had clean vehicles. They were also sure to point out local highlights on the drive and restaurant recommendations.

Both of our guides were fantastic as well. They were helpful in sharing tips on the trail including challenging spots coming up and good places to break during our hike.

Overall I highly recommend booking with kimkim!

We had been on a waiting list for Hotel Torres in Chile and they were able to secure a reservation for us which was wonderful. Felipe our driver and wine tour guide was fabulous during our day in the Casablanca wine region outside of Santiago.

It was an overall great experience.

Hi Nena,

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! It was an absolute pleasure helping you plan your first trip with a travel agent. I’m so happy we were able to secure that stay at Hotel Las Torres for you.

I’m also glad to hear you enjoyed your time with Felipe in the Casablanca Valley; he is indeed a fantastic guide! Knowing that you felt supported throughout your journey in Patagonia means the world to me and our team at Dittmar.

Thank you for your trust!
