Santiago Tours in February 2027

Beautiful countries. The Optional Boat tour in Valparaiso was a bit disappointing - not enough to see to make it worth the time in my opinion. There was a small tour in Pucon that visited a waterfall that I felt was also not really worth the time it took out of the day. The BBQ was a blast! As someone who doesn't eat beef , Joyce organized they also cook some chicken for me, unfortunately it was obvious they are not used to cooking chicken. I would have been happy with the pork already on the menu as the chicken ended up very dry. Still had a fabulous time. One more thing....Joyce is one of the best CEO's I've had. She was constantly researching to make sure we had everything we needed and many options were available to us.

I would highly recommend our recent trip to Peru and to Bolivia, along the Southern Divide in South America, going from Lima to Santiago. We enjoyed making our journey with our multi-aged and multi-national fellow travellers. Highlights of our trip included: riding the old-fashioned trains of Peru Rail to the start of the Inca Trail, viewing the beauty of Machu Pichu, climbing Rainbow Mountain, exploring colonial Sucre, taking photos on the Salt Flats near Uyuni, crossing the Bolivian desert in a 4X4, seeing live volcanos and geysers and lots of wildlife (e.g., llamas, alpacas, guanacos, vicuanas and vizcachas) in the wild.

Lima and Santiago bookended this trip. The small cities and towns we visited were more to my taste. La Paz was special in part because of a very good city tour largely on the cable card.

This Patagonia experience exceeded all of my expectations and it had been on my bucket list for years. The combination of activities with the deluxe food and accommodation was over the top.

Loved the entire experience. Our CEO Jesus was a stand-out in terms of his excellence. We will look to book with GAdventures again. We would likely upgrade for travel through more challenging spots like India or SE Asia.
