Fabulous Trip to Beautiful Patagonia!

My husband I just returned from an extended trip to Argentina which included a 12-day excursion to Patagonia. We decided at the last minute to take this trip and our specialist, Natalia, with whom we worked on a previous trip to Argentina, did a fabulous job of putting together our trip considering it was prime time and availability was an issue. From the locations of our hotels, to the excursions, and, importantly, our guides and drivers, we have always found that Kimkim provides us with a quality, safe, and worry-free trip. Thank you to Natalia and Kimkim for another great trip!

We have always planned trips ourselves, however this trip we decided to use KimKim for our trip to Argentina and we could not have been more pleased.

The execution was completely flawless as we went from Buenos Aires to El Chalten and to El Calafate. Ana designed the trip based on our likes and everything was better than we could have expected. Our drivers were fantastic, always on time and ready to go and our guides were a 10 out of 10.

In Buenos Aires, Enrique showed us around the city with great detail and patience, while Aime showed us a fantastic time at the Estancia excursion. On the next leg of the trip, Monica met us in El Calafate to transfer us to El Chalten which was a highlight of our trip. Our hiking guide, Virginia, took us on a 9hr hike to the summit to view Fitz Roy and it was special. Virginia was informative, patient, fun to connect with and made our experience very special. On day 2 we did the rafting experience which, again, was fun and flawless. Next we ventured down to El Calafate where we visited Estancia Christina which was another unforgettable experience in remote Patagonia. Next, Vanessa met us and took us into Glacier National
Park for an unforgettable experience. After hiking the glacier, Vanessa spent the next 3 hours walking us along the walkways of the glacier and educated us on everything about the culture, the park, and the glacier.

In summation, all of our guides truly loved what they did and they took the time to share what they knew with us which made the experience that much better. Ana and the team from KimKim did an unbelievable job creating an itinerary that was perfect for us and delivered on everything from flights, transfers, guides, hotels, and overall execution. I’m not sure we have ever traveled and had everything go perfectly according to plan……until now! Thanks Ana and KimKim!

After approximately 4-5 hours you new h the summit and are treated to an unbelievable view of Fitz Roy and all of the accompanying scenery including beautiful teal colored lakes Our guide, Virginia, made our experience by observing the pace that made us feel most comfortable and never made us feel like we needed to move faster or slower.

I don’t even know where to begin. What an amazing trip!

Eduardo drove and Valeria was our guide through beautiful Buenos Aires. The neighborhood tour was my favorite, but I can’t forget the stroll through Recoleta cemetery. In Iguazu we colored the Brazilian and Argentinian parks over two days with Gisela. The Hotel Melia was the loveliest I’ve ever seen. I’ll never forget the days at the falls. In Mendoza we were connected with our itinerary with Marco, another knowledgeable and friendly host. We have never traveled in this concierge style guided luxury, but I can’t imagine doing it differently. I certainly wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much trying to make it happen all on my own or just rambling through unfamiliar towns and wondering what to do. Everything the service connected us to was high-quality, and while some of it was on this side of “touristy,” it was all an elevated level of hospitality and comfort and enjoyment.

Hotel Reviews
Grand Brizo
Buenos Aires

The hotel is very centrally located for driving and walking activities. It was very clean. The linens particularly were very comfortable. Was a little loud in the evenings and mornings as we were on the side of the street. The breakfast was beautiful and ample. The staff was very formal and professional, more informative than friendly.

Authenticity & Character
It was a comfortable branded hotel but didn’t offer any local charm.
Location
Central to so many locations. Great placement for walking, easy pick up spot for Uber.
Staff
Professional and helpful but not overtly friendly
Cleanliness & Comfort

Gran Meliá Iguazú
Iguazú National Park

From the welcome drink and towel to the breakfast buffet this hotel was the must luxurious of the trip. The proximity to the national park was second to none. The monkeys, while a nuisance to the staff, we’re an absolute delight to the guests. We particularly enjoyed the other visitors to this hotel. Lots of lovely families and couples. Pricey but worth it if you can swing it. I’ll dream of that breakfast buffet for ever!!

Posada Borravino
Chacras de Coria

30 min outside of Mendoza city, and a 30 min walk to the small town’s centrum made the location of this guest house questionable. The room was basic. The hotel itself could’ve had lovely ambience and a family or homey feel however, we never saw the same staff members twice so I felt like we could never connect with the place. Dinner service was spotty in the restaurant so each night we had to make the long walk into the village to find something to eat. Breakfast was limited and very basic bread and jam and fruit.

Authenticity & Character
Quaint and cozy but we felt a bit like we were intruding rather than guests.
Location
Too far to be without a car
Staff
Nice enough but never saw the same people twice. And since the whole idea of a Posada is to feel like you’re in someone’s home, it rather had the opposite effect.

We loved the first two wineries, but did not like the third, Andeluna, which we felt was very touristy and the lunch and wine was not to our liking. The staff was also very curt and unfriendly. I have to say that the dinner at Trapiche Winery was fantastic. Food was unique, delicious, served with style. Wines were all very good and the staff kept the wines flowing. This was a great experience. El Fogon was a pleasant surprise and a unique experience. We had a great time. FYI we ate at Don Julio on our own and liked the atmosphere, but found the food way over rated. Not great!

The personalized private cooking tour, the visit to the Barrios, the gourmet Sherpa food tour in Buenos Aires were fabulous and gave us a real appreciation of the city and community. The guides - Flo, Mike (Sherpa tour) were superb.
The trips ot Mendoza wine country, the Igauzu falls were quite the icing on the cake.

This was an incredible exploration journey through several parts of Argentina. We had 7 days split between the Northern mountain region, Mendoza and Buenos Aires. Camila, our trip planner, was so helpful, gave great recommendations and was very easy to work with. Our local guides, Hassan and Marcos, were both so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We so enjoyed our time with them and learned a lot about local culture and history during our visit. Read more

Hotel Reviews
Entre Cielos Wine & Wellness Hotel
Vistalba

Beautiful hotel and grounds. Good was excellent and loved our room. Each space has a private outdoor patio which was lovely in the evenings. Staff here is very friendly and helpful.

Authenticity & Character
It’s more of a modern design so wouldn’t call it authentic?
Location
Easy access into town and not too far from airport.
Staff
Very helpful, friendly, attentive staff at each interaction.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Beautifully designed, great pool area and spacious rooms. It does have an open bathroom concept so limited privacy for those sharing rooms with a friend.
Legado Mitico Salta Hotel Boutique
Salta

Really loved this boutique hotel. It’s in a renovated historic building g which I was curious to learn about. The common spaces were so I no it’s g and well decorated. Very large bedrooms and lovely spacious bathrooms.

Authenticity & Character
Gorgeous building and appreciated the original character that was kept intact.
Location
Walking distance to central Salta with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby.

The staff here was so nice and gave us great food recommendations.

Loved the 2 bedroom unit we had. Lots of space and enjoyed there are exterior spaces so you can enjoy coffee on the balcony. Comfy beds. Pleasantly surprised with accommodations for such a small village.

I’m only giving it 4 here due to the breakfast which was limited in options. Would be nice to have in season fresh fruit available. Most of the breakfast was pastry and cereal/grain based.

This was a wonderful location in Palermo Hollywood. Walking distance to local shopping, lots of cafes and restaurants. Food wasn’t great here for breakfast which was the only meal we tried. Their plant based restaurant wasn’t open during our stay otherwise due to the holiday season.

Such a fun & unique experience to do. We enjoyed this excursion despite both being city girls and not very comfortable around animals. Our lunch was also so wonderful! We finally had good fruit and veggies which was the most difficult thing about our visit overall…the lack of fresh fruit & veggies.

The show itself was wonderful. Beautiful talented dna era and we enjoyed the music. The food was barely average and our dietary restrictions were not taken into account. Staff didn’t pay us attention so had to flag them down for water, drinks, etc.

Food
This place was so touristy. I would not recommend it for a special occasion. This was supposed to be our New Years Eve fun night out. The crowd was also much much older than us so not our scene.
Guides, Drivers and Staff
Our driver was great but didn’t speak much English so hard to communicate. We had no way of contacting driver when we wanted to leave early so just took a Uber back to the hotel but felt badly we couldn’t let him know. Staff at the restaurant at were not attentive.
