Jesse planned a very last minute trip for myself, my husband, and our one year old that was wonderful for our family! We felt like we got to see a lot during our 12 day trip but the pace was not so rushed that we were exhausted. I would highly recommend visiting Chile and Argentina, they are beautiful countries with very friendly and kind people. Jesse was there to answer all of our questions and had a very quick response time when we needed a last minute change. We felt confident traveling with the itinerary she planned for us and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Very nice hotel with a great location and friendly staff.

Amerian Park Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires

This hotel is in desperate need of room upgrades. The door to our room looked like it had been kicked in with marks and debris on the floor and a broken/missing doorstop. We did request to change rooms however the other room the staff showed us looked very similar. The tub/shower was falling apart with pieces of tape across the tile and a moldy and cracked shower handle. Breakfast was included with our stay however the options were very limited and of poor quality. The location very central and the lobby is very modern and up to date which is why I did not give this hotel a one star review.

Cleanliness & Comfort
Very small beds with only one pillow per person. Room needs upgraded and deep cleaned.
Calafate Parque Hotel
El Calafate

Small hotel with a great location for downtown walking and a great breakfast. We did not have a chance to use the jacuzzi/sauna but loved that it was an option.

Hotel Costaustralis
Puerto Natales

Stunning hotel with beautiful waterfront view. Our room looked out over the water and we loved that we could open the window to catch the sea breeze. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very kind and helpful to us.

This was our favorite day of the whole trip with stunning views of Torres del Paine National Park. Our guide was Jhon Pineda and he was super friendly and helpful and took some absolutely amazing photos of our family. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we got the best quality photos and videos and we appreciate him so much. He made sure we were comfortable with our baby all day and always checked on us. This tour cannot be missed!

Hi Lauryn,

I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed your 12-day trip in Chile and Argentina 😊 I imagine it can be tough sometimes to travel with a baby so I'm happy to have been of help with the planning!
I apologize that the Amerian Park hotel wasn't up to standards, we will definitely consider using another hotel so that our travelers can enjoy comfortable accommodation in each destination while on their trip.

Don't hesitate to reach out in the future for another visit to our wonderful country - there's still lots more to see!

All the best in your future travels,
Jesse
