This trip enables you to get an overview of Chile, covering off the key destinations and sites to see. Each area provides you with its own WOW! experience and fabulous scenery. There are alot of early starts and internal flights, however there is also some free time in each area for you to explore indepently or just relax. Throughly enjoyed the whole trip and think Chile is a great place to visit, and it has something for everyone.
Cajon del Maipo lake tour The destination was beautiful, the tour got us there before the Sunday crowd and avoided getting stuck in the car mess. The english speaking guide was helpful and friendly. The wine was good, the brunch is more like finger food than a whole meal, but they gave us more food on the way back. The negative point is that they stopped to a boot hiring shop and advised us that our hiking shoes would not have been good enought, so we hired boots with an extra cost. However in this season, winter on a sunny day, our hiking boots would have done the job as there was very little mud and snow on the easy trail, and the hired boots where not that great. We trusted our guides and we felt mislead.
The trekking was very picturesque and the mix of cultural/local experiences was great. Our guide Leondro (Leo)was a genuinely nice person , very caring and well organised and prompt. Our bus was clean and Jos our driver took pride in it and was lovely to us all even though he did not speak English (this was not a problem with Leo to interpret) Accomodation for Marion and I was good in all areas. Thanks for your recommendations and getting back to us promptly when we needed more information, overall a great trip. Thank you !
