Our trip was wonderful, everything did not go without a hiccup but Jesse and the team were on top of it. All the recommended excursions were top notch. The trip planning with Jesse was easy and straightforward with a couple of chats. It was very helpful to be connected via WhatsApp during our trip which made support easier. Jesse and team were quick to respond and remedy all issues. My group would use kimkim again on future trips. This was our 2nd, Peru was our 1st and both were incredible and memorable.

Activity Reviews
Stargazing Experience
San Pedro de Atacama
Terrible experience, went out of town for 20 minutes and arrived in a campsite that featured a telescope to look at stars. Had 4 kids run around ruining the experience. The telescope wasn't that good. Since there was a full moon, the tour outfitter should have offered options. Once we were at the site, made everyone stay for food and it was getting quite chilly. Not what I expected which was in a more secluded space further outside of town. Would not recommend even if it was not a full moon, too much light pollution to see stars. Very disappointing.
