My husband and I only had the driver, Iván, who was great, so sweet and caring. He knows the area so well that he could be a guide except that he doesn’t speak English. (I speak Spanish so not a problem for us.) in Uyuni we went on miles and miles of dirt, sand, and salt. Some might find that grueling, but we loved it all. The three men I traveled with are all avid photographers and they were thrilled with the photos they got. We’re so glad we did this trip and used KimKim for the second time.

This hotel is in desperate need of room upgrades. The door to our room looked like it had been kicked in with marks and debris on the floor and a broken/missing doorstop. We did request to change rooms however the other room the staff showed us looked very similar. The tub/shower was falling apart with pieces of tape across the tile and a moldy and cracked shower handle. Breakfast was included with our stay however the options were very limited and of poor quality. The location very central and the lobby is very modern and up to date which is why I did not give this hotel a one star review.

Hi Lauryn,

I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed your 12-day trip in Chile and Argentina 😊 I imagine it can be tough sometimes to travel with a baby so I'm happy to have been of help with the planning!
I apologize that the Amerian Park hotel wasn't up to standards, we will definitely consider using another hotel so that our travelers can enjoy comfortable accommodation in each destination while on their trip.

Don't hesitate to reach out in the future for another visit to our wonderful country - there's still lots more to see!
