Co-workers have traveled with KimKim and referred me to give them try. WOW! Francisco hit the spot with all hotels, tours and planning for our trip to Chile. We wanted to visit the country from North to South. Communication was absolutely amazing! 10 Stars! Matito's communication while we were in the Santiago, Valparaiso, Calama and San Pedro de Atacama was excellent. Jose Luis in Punta Arenas and Puerto Natales area was excellent as well. I never wondered if a driver would show up. Never worried that our accommodations were amazing and in great locations. I highly recommend KimKim for your travel planning. It was seamless travel with no worries and the recommended tours were all amazing. Chile is truly an unspoiled beauty and I wouldn't miss any of the regions as they are all so very unique. We will be back KimKim as soon as we select our next journey!

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Castillo Rojo
Santiago

Hotel Castillo Rojo was beautifully historic. The old castle and in Bellavista area. We were able to walk to many areas and dining in the neighborhood was great! Our room was beautiful and well appointed, comfortable sleeping, with a chilled sparkling wine to begin our journey. The hotel is very secure and safe. The staff at the hotel was so very helpful and pleasant. Very helpful with our inquiries.

Hotel La Casa de Don Tomás
San Pedro de Atacama

DonTomas was quite a spread of adobe cobbled rooms. We walked to the main central area many times and it was a very easy 10-15 minute stroll. The accommodations were comfortable and very clean. The staff was very good and helpful and the dining in the on-site restaurant was very good.

Hotel Boutique La Yegua Loca
Punta Arenas

What an absolute treasure! So creative with each room uniquely themed. We stayed in The Office! What a beautiful balcony overlooking the town and water. The staff was so friendly! They were wonderful. After a rough sea in the Strait of Magellan and a husband with seasickness, they provided a lounge to get his balance back even though we were checked out. The dining experience was excellent! Highly recommend a dinner here.

Weskar Lodge
Puerto Natales

Our last location in Chile. Weskar was beautiful and just off the edge of town. Easily walked to town or 3000 Pesos for an Uber. Our view was incredible and we watched the sunset from our chairs in the room. We dined several times in the restaurant and breakfast was very good. The staff was helpful and considerate in filling water bottles and answering our many questions about the area with detailed maps and information.

Authenticity & Character
Called a lodge, but truly a luxury lodge!
Location
Very perfect location for viewing the fjord and snow capped mountains.

Estancia La Península Full Day
Estancia La Península Full Day
Puerto Natales

Absolute must. Such a special experience and so well orchestrated. Amazing open spit cooked lamb dinner and vino to enjoy after a 2 hour ride to views that are spectacular. Loved the staff and ranchers. The property is beautiful and the remoteness and peacefulness was a perfect last day for our journey to Chile.
