Hotel Magnolia

Highlights: “I went to Chile mainland without any knowledge and was overwhelmed.  The geology was stunning and range of scenery amazing”

PC, Galashiels

Our experience at Patagonia Camp was the most memorable part of the trip. Everyone at the camp really cared for the place and the experience they were providing for their clients, from the restaurant staff to the reception staff to the guides. They were all delightful to deal with and the guides in particular deserve special mention for their knowledge and commitment to the preservation of the TdP National Park and the ethos of the camp. 

RE, Knutsford

We found the Chilean people very friendly, obliging & happy. 

EL, Winkleigh

Highlight?: The Grey Glacier

JC, Ipswich

Highlight?: Trips into parts of the Atacma Desert that were not in fact desert but little islands of habitation frequented by only a few.

RP, Glasgow

Highlight?: Easter Island and seeing the moai statues was a lifelong dream and did not disappoint. The guide was excellent a fantastic and beautiful island.

LVA, Tamworth

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

MA, Lancaster

Highlights: Visiting Patagonia and staying at the Patagonia camp

FT, Mansfield

Most memorable experience: "Sailing across the Magelllan Straits and getting off on Cape Horn. This was the key reason for my trip which was motivated by a dim and distant history lesson when I was 12 years old. To think that these treacherous waters were navigated and discovered by sailors in wooden boats over 500 years ago has always been a magical thought. Doing it in the comfort of 21st century luxury was a much better option for me but to think that I have walked in the footsteps of Magellan and later Darwin is quite something else."

TEB, Grays

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

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

Highlight: "Easter Island for it's uniqueness and remoteness. Excellent wines and food in Mendoza and Casablanca Valley in Chile. The Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires was spectacular. The friendliness of people in Colonia."

JR, Grimsby

Highlight: The Atacama Desert

BL, Tunbridge wells

Patagonia for its stark beauty, stunning snow covered mountains and tranquility.

SB, Solihull

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.

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

Highlight: Torres Del Paine

CG, Amersham

Highlight?: Patagonia camp

MM, Southsea

Most memorable experience: "So much but probably Torres del Paine, breathtakingly beautiful and not crowded although it was the busiest part of the year. Also the friendliness of the people, and lack of hassle everywhere- the only place where there was a bit was in the fish market in Santiago, but even there it was very low key and the people were not at all pushy."

MT, Henley-on-Thames

The three major parts, Atacama, Easter Island and Patagonia were all special in different ways.

BM, Macclesfield

The visit was basically divided into three separate parts - self driving on the Carretera Austral, the ferry cruise which I arranged separately, and the visit to Tierra Patagonia. In their very different ways, all were excellent and memorable.

TAK, Ilkley

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

Most Memorable Moment: Cycling around Puerto Varas in Chile.

JL, Studley

Highlights:- Chile was just fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experiences in both Patagonia and Atacama. Really quite memorable. 

MR

We really enjoyed Easter Island but the Atacama was the most memorable part!

ME, Caernarfon

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

Most Memorable Moment?: Difficult to say as so many. I think seeing the first upright statues on Easter Island as I've wanted to see them since I was a child

BN, Marlborough

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

AB, Fordingbridge

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