Santiago Tours in Spring

Honestly, this trip to Chile was something else. I didn’t know what to expect going in, but wow — it blew me away. From city life to total wilderness to the most surreal desert I’ve ever seen… it had everything. Santiago totally surprised me. It’s got this cool energy. one minute you're walking past old colonial buildings next you’re sipping wine on a rooftop with views of the Andes. And the food? Next level. I was legit full the entire time. Then came Patagonia and I mean, come on. You see photos online, but being there? Completely different. Puerto Natales was the cutest little town, super chill with killer views, and it just felt so peaceful. And then you're surrounded by mountains that make you feel really, really small (in a good way). And just when I thought the trip had peaked, boom we’re in the Atacama Desert. I’ve never seen landscapes like that before. Moon Valley looked like Mars, no joke. The salt flats were insanely quiet and still, like the world paused for a second. And those mirror-like lagoons? Unreal. I took way too many pictures. The whole thing was smooth — flights, guides, hotels — didn’t have to think about a thing. If you want a trip that’s equal parts adventure, nature, and just pure “whoa,” this one’s it. I came back with full camera storage and even fuller memories.

All the highlights, beautiful - enjoyed every place we experienced. The dinners prepared by local families in their homes were incredible. Tango experience unforgettable. Saw lots of wildlife. Top notch guide (makes all the difference) local guides exceptional as well. Travelled many places but the entire trip we were surrounded by incredible beauty everywhere we went. Food was excellent as was our lodging. Lucky to see Patagonia and all her glory.

Awe inspiring landscapes, good activities. It covers a very large area and so unavoidably involves a lot of flights and early mornings. Where else do you get breathtaking mountains, glaciers, fjords and penguins! Hotels with one exception were excellent. Fabulous travel director and informative guides.

I felt it had adequate activities and free time. I was surprised the 80 years old kept up. I felt some of the hikes were a little rushed. Since, the guides were the experts there must of been a reason to keep us on pace.

Amazing trip. We saw such a beautiful part of the world - mountains, lakes, glaciers, and penguins! We did get to do a little walking. The tour guides were so knowledgeable and the accommodations were very good.

The tour company left a message at our hotel telling us what time they would pick us up the next day. They were exactly on time which was great. Our tour guide (Frank) was absolutely wonderful. So informative and he spoke english and spanish so well. I liked the fact there were only about 7 or 8 in our group too. It meant you had no trouble hearing what was being said. The walking tour of Valparaiso was a great way to see the place and if there was anything anyone in the group particularly wanted to look at it wasn't a problem. Lunch was at your own cost but it was a great restaurant that was chosen with wonderful views of Valparaiso. Visiting Vina Del Mar was good also and finishing the tour with a wine tasting in the Casablanca Valley was the perfect end to the day.
