Our guide to Chileo was awesome, he was Javier, a Mapucin. Awesome day.

Rapa Nui our guide for two days was Hugo. Degree in Rapa Nui culture! He was wonderful.

Our guide to Valparaiso was Orlando. He too was awesome. He had been our driver on a lot of shuttles prior as well.

Santiago tour was so so

The Lake tour from Puerto Varas was very nice.

This was an awesome trip. Just the two of us, no dual translation. Learned about Mapucin culture from him, Javier was Mapucin. Great lunch spot in Castro on the water. Great local market tour
