Hotel Awa

Most Memorable Moment: "Too many to mention!Perhaps Champions parade in Rio - front row seats - fabulous! May be Torres del Paine - fabulous hotel Tierra Patagonia- outstanding scenery. Memorable moment -perhaps driving around Lake Llanquihue gradually seeing the mist clear to beautiful clear blue skies and lake and seeing The Osorno Volcano appear with  low cloud drifting across its centre just as we across a very pretty lakeside café with no one there and being able to sit in the warm sunshine quite alone and enjoy the most spectacular view."

JM, Wantage

Highlight?: Difficult to separate a sunny, windless clear day at Torres del Paine ( plus several others nearly as good).  And deep snow in the Altiplano round Miscanti lakes. So good even the drivers were taking photos.      Both quite excellent.

DH, Milnthorpe

Time in the Atacama - with Oscar!! Probably one of the most spectacular places we've visited as tourists and we have years of world travel experience behind us.

RB, London

Highlights: "Watching the Milky Way in Elquis Valley."

MA, Lancaster

From the point of view of JLA's organisation of our trip, the most memorable feature was the quality of the many small hotels we stayed in and the unforgettable views we so often had from our rooms. From the point of view of the trip itself, the most memorable places were 6 days of Torres del Paine in glorious sunshine and the indescribably wild and beautiful Southern Ocean. 

KB, Esher

Most Memorable Moment: Cycling around Puerto Varas in Chile.

JL, Studley

Most Memorable Moment?: So many overall but the glaciers, Torres, the cruise and Orcas/penguins.

AB, Fordingbridge

I loved the desert and my husband liked Patagonia.  The lunch in the Casablanca wine valley was outstanding.

SD,

Highlights: Valparaiso was stunning and Vina Santa Cruz a pleasant, relaxing surprise.

MS, Shaftesbury

Most Memorable Moment?: The stunning beauty of Torres del Paine ; we were very lucky with the weather in Patagonia Our estancia brief visit, en route, was also very nice.

RL, Solihull

The Alto Plano of Bolivia was striking. Torres del Paine national park too was memorable as was Perito Moreno glacier. 

GOR,

Most Memorable Moment?: Very difficult to pick one from so many but probably the walk up to Torres Del Paine Mirador - although it was a tough day.

SB, Milnthorpe

The whole experience of Atacama and Torres del Paine was amazing. In between Puerto Varas provided a welcome and relaxing contrast. The introductory tours of Santiago and Valparaiso worked very well and the guides were great... but experience tame compared to the other three destinations! Matetic was a fun last day/night.

KH, London

Highlights: Arrival at Tierra Patagonia hotel: and seeing two wild pumas nearby! 

PG, Oxford

BL, Tunbridge wells

HM, Bristol

CD, Shepton mallet

Most Memorable Moment?: Rapa Nui - a unique environment with lots of architectural and historical interest and also comtemporary culture (Tapati festival). Very interesting.

AB, Burnham-On-Crouch

I was amazed and enthralled by Chile and am looking forward to visiting again.

DP, Chiswick

We have travelled a lot in our lifetime but nothing prepares you for the breadth of landscapes that you will encounter in Chile. We had three weeks there and felt we only scratched the surface.

Amazing!

Chile was AMAZING!!! We loved the country, the scenery and all the people we met. Glad we had warm clothes for the trip or we would have come unstuck in Atacama, especially when going to the geysers as it was minus ten degrees. As we approached the cruise time we wondered if we'd cope with the Zodiacs, but everyone was so helpful and safety conscious. The all-time highlight of so many on our holiday was, standing in silence at the Pia Glacier.

RW, Cyprus

Highlight?: Easter Island - amazing place - very good food, hardly any tourists and extraordinary history/statues etc. We could easily have stayed an extra night there. I would strongly recommend hiring a car there. We also booked a snorkelling trip which was good.

CK, Ashtead

Patagonia- exceeded very high expectations. JLA were great.

AH, Northampton

The whole holiday was memorable but Patagonia Camp and the walk to the Torres del Paine was the best. Absolutely breath taking. We wished we had stayed one more night here.

CB, Tonbridge

Chile was AMAZING!!!  We loved the country, the scenery and all the people we met.  Glad we had warm clothes for the cruise or we would have come unstuck in Atacama, especially when going to the geysers as it was minus ten Celcius.  As we approached the cruise time we wondered if we'd cope with the Zodiacs, but everyone was so helpful and safety conscious.  The all-time highlight of so many on our holiday was standing in silence at the Pia Glacier. Our favourite guide was Cyril in Chiloe.  He became a great friend and we had some lovely times together.

RW, Paphos

Wonderful

We have had two of the most memorable weeks in one of the world’s most varied geographical environments and the friendly Chilean people. Thank you JLA.

AK, Stoke Newington

Highlights?: Flying over the Andes Getting close to the Glacier in Patagonia View from Costanero Tower in Santiago The list goes on

DW, Winchester

Most memorable experiences: "First sight of San Pedro. Hiring our own car and being alone with the flamingos on the salt lagoons. The Milky Way in the Atacama night sky. Chairlift through the mist on Osorno Volcano. Mountain and glacier views in Patagonia. Pisco sour with everything. The Chilean people - always ready to smile."

DA, Northallerton

Highlights: WE have many good memories but we would pick out the guided walk to Laguna de los Tres at Fitzroy and the day to the French Valley at Patagonia Camp and Patagonia Camp in general.

SC, Cheltenham

Highlight: Torres Del Paine
