Most Memorable Moment: Cycling around Puerto Varas in Chile.

JL, Studley

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. 

CM

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

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

Mount Fitz Roy and Los Torres, particularly the Pliegue tumblado walk.

DS, Leatherhead

The excursions in Torres de Paine were exceptional.

AD, Cambridge

A truly memorable trip all round because of the contrasts very difficult to pick the most memorable but Valparasio Casa Higueras we would have loved to have stayed longer and in Vina del Mar.

DS, Chesham

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

PC, Galashiels

Highlights: The Explora hotel experience and the Perito Moreno glacier

BT, Surbiton

Long way to go but thoroughly enjoyed just concentrating on one country i.e. Chile which our destinations covered in detail from top to toe and made us feel that we had really experienced life in Chile.

CF, Worthing

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

SD,

Highlight: The Atacama Desert

BL, Tunbridge wells

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

Being served Pisco Sours on the deck of the boat at Grey Glacier.  The scenery was stunning and came as a surprise after the poor visibility on the outward trip.

AM, Glasgow

Patagonia, the scenery and wildlife, getting up close to a glacier, Easter Island fulfilling a childhood dream and much more, the perfect volcano, Osorno, the geology and flamingoes of the Atacama. Santiago and Buenos Aires both quite different but equally fascinating.

EL, London

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

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

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

Overall 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.

SJ, Welwyn

The lasting impressions of this great country will be with me forever. So will the fantastic photos and memories.

PC, Hereford

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

GOR,

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

Chile Best parts of the holiday: “Too many to name one but certainly Moon Valley, the salt lake lagoon, the Glacier at Torres de Paine” 

SJ, Welwyn

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

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

BM, Macclesfield

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

ME, Caernarfon

So many highlights- Tatio geyser, base of Torres del Paine walk, seeing puma and Easter Island memories for life

HM, Bristol

Three highlights: the trip over the Andes from Santiago to Mendoza with its links to San Martin's epic journey to liberate Chile and Peru in the 19th century; the three Neruda houses in Chile; and the Museo del Barro in Asuncion (Paraguay).

JRF, Cambridge

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

Highlight: Torres Del Paine
