We had an incredible time visiting Chile and experiencing the country. Marcela did a wonderful job accommodating all the things we wanted to do with all the places we wanted to visit. It entailed a lot of moving parts and everything fell into place. Thank you Gaboo for coordinating all the domestic air tickets. The hotels we stayed in were very nice, comfortable and centrally located to restaurants and shops within walking distance. Our driver in Santiago, Eliseo Albornoz, was outstanding. We so much enjoyed talking to him each time he picked us up from the airport and during our time in Santiago. We enjoyed all the activities and the sights at the Atacama desert, Santiago, Patagonia and Rapa Nui! But I leave most impressed with the young men and women who were our guides in San Pedro de Atacama and Patagonia. They guided us in areas of extreme weather conditions, while educating us in all that pertains to the native wildlife, plants, vegetation, and even geology of the region. They maintained a positive attitude and high energy throughout. It was truly a pleasure to learn about Chile through them.

Hotel Lago Grey
Torres del Paine

This hotel is right in the middle of the glacier grey park . As soon as you walk into the reception area the view from the floor to ceiling window in the bar and restaurant takes your breath away with direct view of a neon blue iceberg floating in the distance and surrounded by nature. Our room was super spacious with a huge picture window facing the water and nature with complete privacy. You can sit and look out the window mesmerized for hours. What an amazing privilege it was to be able to stay in this hotel.
