Kimkim Trip Reviews for Argentina

Rooms were ok but not as nice as the photos from the website. It seems they are the ones from the new building. Basic comfort and restaurant was so-so. Since the hotel is isolated in the forest, no choice but to stay in the hôtel for dinner

The best part of this modern style hotel is its location.

Charming, beautiful hotel, great service and you can also enjoy fantastic massage ! Loved it !!

We had 2 rooms and living room + kitchen upstairs ! Beautiful view on the mountains. Great staff and every night you are invited to some traditional music and glass of wine.

Nice rooms and charming hotel, close from the main square

Was interesting but too short ( only museum and Saint Francisco church) ; could have added one more museum…

Destino Hotel was very comfortable for our family. A new hotel with wonderful included breakfast and friendly staff.

Our hotel was the Ben’s hotel not Mine Hotel Boutique and we loved it. Such a European flare. Location was perfect. All staff were friendly and helpful.

Another lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and unique, European flare. Loved all the special decorating touches. Close to shopping and lovely restaurants. Staff and owner very friendly, and the dog Violet, very helpful with suggestions, making tea, and having conversations.

This hotel was my favorite! Not only were they small and quaint but the ambiance was delightful. The service exceeded my expectations and the stay was so relaxing and lovely!

The front desk was a huge help and the rooms were very clean and lovely

Loved the views from the room. The hotel was very accommodating as well and the staff were so attentive!

Very informative and very well explained of the history and diversity of Buenos Aires. I enjoyed being asked if there was any additional places to revisit and information to be repeated. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and the driver was very patient with all the stops being made.

The wineries were absolutely breathtaking. Views, food, wine, and history of both vineyards were amazing to take in. Very nice lunch and excellent wines. This full day winery tour was a blast and my mother and I enjoyed visiting both vineyards.

The full day of leisure in Mendoza was great for my mother and I. Although it fell on the day that Argentina workers take off to kick back and relax it was a day to view the city and take in its beauty by walking the streets and visiting the local parks. It was a quiet day but absolutely peaceful.

The highlight of my trip. From salinas grandes, plaza de Purmamarca, the highest altitude I’ve ever experienced in my life due to the mountains was absolutely life changing for me. I was taken back by all the amazing landscapes as well as the beautiful people of Purmamarca. I cannot express how humbling this experience was for me.

This tour was just as great as traveling through Jujuy and Purmamarca. Cafayate was a beauty. I was truly in awe with Tres Cruces, Guachipas, quebrada de las conchas, empanadas and llamas. Absolutely breathtaking. Such a memorable trip and once in a lifetime experience.

A great location and a wonderful restaurant. The rooms were quiet and comfortable. The people at the front desk were incredibly helpful.

Comfortable rooms but not terribly quiet. Great location. Super helpful staff. Good restaurant.

Good location and comfortable and quiet rooms.

Perfect amount of time for a hike. Amazing lunch. Fun guides and group. A great experience.

food is excellent, and the staff very attentive to my needs. I recommend that they purchase golf carts for those that are older and can't get around. The on-sight activities are fantasic, archery glass, and bikes a plus, horse back riding and the villas are top notch. the cleaning staff are excellent. worth the price.

PROS the food is excellent the full board experience is un matched. when it comes to food. I commend the chief. 5-stars. The room is clean and for a ranch. Activities the best - especially the horseback riding guide - went out of his way to show us monkeys. CONS WIFI needs to be broaden to many lost signals especially if you haven guests that do a lot of writing drive is long and unpleasant. Being kind.

the staff are excellent. the room and balcony, the authenticity of the hotel was my favorite. 1892 built. WOW!!!!!!!!! the charm and character is unsurpassed. I would definitely stay here again.

PROS Excellent. the villa met all my expectations. Clean, beautiful grounds. everything contained on property Food excellent. Servers - Patricia - lovely in our first night evening meal. the ASADO under the stars - AMAZING !!!!! catered our every need. Too much food, we shared with the staff afterwards, so that it would not be wasted. They were so Grateful. Pottery class - Loved it. Personal attention. CONS they should offer more amenities with the villas, I was fortunate enough that I didn't have to pay for a 20 minute bike ride, they comp me on that. but they should provide other amenities within the property.

PROS breakfast service - perfect. spa services - loved it. CONS WIFI - since we are in such a remote town, the service was nonexistent, was difficult to communicate with family

long ride through the mountain terrain, very narrow trails, but amazing to view the Mendoza valley below. Be prepared on dusty trails, and cool weather. Prepare to gallop at some points on the trail.

Had to cancel this experience. It would have been great if....

the Estancia where we stayed was amazing, and having the VIP experience only 2 people in a large ranch that overlooks the wetlands, rain or shine, just the vast beauty of this place sets it apart. The wildlife....in AWE.

Marcos, was a great. And to see him again, after last years wine tasting and he remembered me. I was taken back that he would remember our talk and asked about my family.

Personal attention on this ride. I truly recommend it.

can't rate this adventure, as we didn't get to experience. due to weather, but we had an alternative by small boat where we managed to see numerous flora and fauna.

From the 1892 Colonial Mission Style hotel, to the town square with all its shopping. I was fortunate enough to see Salta celebrating their Anniversary this day. Parade of Gauchos and China's on traditional attire, dancing through the town of Salta, gauchos yipping and hollering while the crowd watched in awe. Taking pictures at the marvel coming down the street. Our guide Ramiro, knew one of the gauchos and flagged him over to where we were on the steps of the Cathedral and I took a picture with a gaucho. Getting my shoes shined by an old world traditional back in the 40's was a treat. Eating pastel de papa, at an outdoor cafe while a troop of young Salteños matching through the town in uniform and wearing the Salta flag, all ages from 5 to 18. Wow!!!! can't get any perfect than that. Late night shopping, make sure you bring extra luggage to carry it all back with you.

the drive didn't phase me. when you love this country the way I do. the hours fly by and when you have great guide and licensed drivers like KimKim's partners even better. They stop for photo ops and continue on. the Devils Throat, EPIC and to hear Salteños sing the national anthem of Buenos Aires, brought tears to my eyes as their voices filled the cavern. No words.

local town is full of artisans selling their wears. the food is simple but tasty. fall weather in the afternoon is warm and sleepy. and the nights are cool and entertaining. lots to see and do, trekking and to see the Cerro las Senoritas and behold the beauty that the multi color limestone mountains show is breathtaking. can say enough of my experiences here in the land of wonder.

Lot's of tourists, and super hot when the sun beats down on the salt flats. But a sight to behold, on how they mine the salts from this volcanic paradise. Make sure you take protection and drink plenty of water the elevation is brutal to those that push themselves too hard in this valley. you reach height of approx. 4200km back to 2500km within hours, so try to have fun without the expense of pushing your body to hard, slow and easy wins the race.

The hotel was beautiful and the food was delicious. It was my favorite breakfast of the trip. The staff was so warm and friendly

The setting is gorgeous. We had a Mountain View from our hotel room and I could have looked at it all day. The food and drinks were delicious. The Calafate sour was quite memorable. The pool and spa were lovely. Tours excellent.

Gorgeous hotel right in the center of town in the main square. Walk to many lovely restaurants

The hotel lobby is stunning. The pool area is gorgeous and the restaurants were delicious

It was a nice hotel. Very clean. The breakfast buffet was not so great. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and it was excellent. It was on the lake but not walkable to the cute town. They did have a free shuttle though.

We did not enjoy this hotel. The location was not great. There was not a lot of shopping and restaurants that close by and some vacant store fronts. We had the penthouse and it seems more shabby than chic. The breakfast was fine but nothing great.

Good location and nice lobby. The rooms are a little dated. The breakfast was just ok.

Lovely food and a fun show

The Perito Merino glacier is just stunning and if you have the opportunity to get close-up on a boat, I Highly recommended

We had a very good guide. He showed us quite a bit of Buenos Aires and gave us a lot of history. We enjoyed it.

We really enjoyed both sides of the falls but our tour guide was not great. He tried to upsell us to do the Brazilian boat ride $20 pp instead of the Argentinian boat ride we already paid for so that was weird. He didn’t tell us that much about the falls or provide suggestions but where the best pictures were. We cover both sides of the falls so it was a long day but we had to ask him to stop so we could eat lunch at 2:00 because we had been going since 8:30. He told us we could have 30 minutes for lunch at a place that did not have takeout. We changed clothes after we got soaked on the Argentinian side and then then we went over to the Brazilian side and he sent us down a path to see a part of the falls and we got soaking wet again. I thought it would’ve been nice if he had told us that we were going to get drenched again.

This was one of the best tours of our trip. The scenery is amazing. The boat was very nice and the staff were super friendly.

Torres Del Paine is beautiful. We had a cloudy day but our tour guide tried very hard to show us the peaks. He pointed out lots of wildlife and we had a very nice picnic lunch.

The boat and staff were great. The Penguins were just super cute and amazing to watch.

This tour was just ok. There was some history, but a lot of politics and the tour itself just wasn’t that exciting. We had two teens with us and he didn’t try to engage them at all or make it interesting for them.

Somewhat dated. Walkable but a long way to main drag, though taxis are easy. Nice view of lake but not really to the mountains. Mix of great and surly staff. Pretty much lives up to its website—calibrate your expectations. I wouldn’t recommend seeking it out, but if you’re short other options, it serves its purpose.

The hotel view was amazing as we had a lakeside room. The room was comfortable. Breakfast was good although the only eggs on offer were scrambled or boiled . The location is perfect as it’s a short walk to the centre of town

Loved the hotel. The location was perfect. Very nice ambiance. Room was comfortable and v clean

Loved the location and loved the building. Our room was wonderful, especially loved the bathroom. It was huge . The lobby was inviting with very little seating area. The restaurant was great and the breakfast had a wide variety of foods. Even had a chance to try Mate

The staff helpful, cheerful, and caring. We had fun with them in this lovely boutique hotel. Good English and patience explaining and arranging options for us. Restaurant- quiet, private with a lovely wall garden, the staff accommodating as were the hours. Delicious food moderately priced. Decor: quirky mid - Century modern, roomy , with balcony, space and furniture for sitting, colourful and tasteful. Located in a beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood.

A wonderful experience. Thunder and lightning show our first night that went on for hours. The estuary was magic. Wildlife abundant pointed out to us by a good guide. 2 boat rides a day included. Authentic meals in the lodge. Road in a 4 hour ordeal-very rough. Only negative and explains lack of guests.

During our five-night stay at Tierra de Leyendas in Ushuaia, we had a wonderful time. The lodge had a European chalet-style feel, and the owner, who had European roots, provided top-notch service. The rooms were not very spacious, but the overall ambiance was quiet and pleasant. While the location was slightly inconvenient for getting into town, the delicious food and nice presentation made up for it.

A lovely location like an oasis with two pools to cool off in. Our accommodation was clean and comfortable with veranda. On the whole, the resort seems a bit tired but the hidden gem made up for it in spades. A 5 star restaurant that appeared nightly, 2 kitchens, sushi and Italian, gloriously served by young handsome men in suits and bow ties. All affordable priced. Best steak I’ve ever had!

The journey to the lodge was challenging due to the rough road conditions, the experience was well worth it but I would highly recommend ensuring travelers have a sturdy four-wheel-drive vehicle for the journey.

Seeing all the wilflife and the penguins was one of the highlights of the trip! Highly recommended.

We had an incredible time engaging in various activities. The lodge was situated in a serene location, offering us the chance to immerse ourselves in nature. We went out twice a day on a boat to observe the diverse bird species in the area. The surroundings were peaceful and quiet, providing a perfect setting for bird watching. The lodge itself was lovely, and we enjoyed our meals there. The highlight of our stay was the wildlife we encountered, making it one of the best parts of our trip.

Visiting Iguazu Falls was a breathtaking experience. On the Argentinian side, we had a knowledgeable guide who showed us hidden gems around the waterfalls, such as rare birds and their nests. Despite the intense heat, the day was filled with awe-inspiring sights and experiences. We also took a boat ride under the falls, which added an extra thrill to the adventure. The next day, we explored the falls from the Brazilian side, which offered a different perspective. The walkway extending over the falls was both exhilarating and slightly nerve-wracking. The natural beauty we witnessed was worthwhile. Overall, our visit to Iguazu Falls was a highlight of our trip, and we were glad we visited both sides of the falls.

I loved this hotel. The location was close to the main town (walking distance or accessible by shuttle). I loved watching the birds in the lawn in the morning and looking out my window at the beautiful view.

this was one of our favorite parts of the trip. We learned so much and were really able to appreciate the culture of Buenos Aires

This show is very long and ends late at night (there is then a bus ride back to the hotel that takes a while). You do learn a lot about the development of the tango

One of the highlights of the trip. The guides were amazing

it normally would have scared me to bike in a big city, but Buenos Aires has good bike lanes and the guide is good. This is a rigorous day we biked just under 12 miles and were out for about 4 hours.

this trip helped you really understand the power of the waterfalls and see them from a different perspective. I also really liked the trip in the 4-wheeler type vehicle through the jungle to get to the boat.

Very nice hotel at the beginning of town. It’s a small mountain town so no frills but we weee very happy with our accommodations. Each morning they had a nice breakfast to get you ready for your adventurous day. The staff was all very helpful and nice.

Really nice location in Palermo away from the business of the city. Plenty of restaurants and cafes in the area. The staff was all very nice, professional, and accommodating. We left something in the room and the team notified us immediately to let us know. Very happy with this hotel.

Beautiful accommodations at the far end of the main town. Wonderful staff, and very nice rooms. Breakfast included each morning to get you ready for your day.

Our guide, Enrique, was fantastic and took us around San Telmo, La Boca and other interesting areas of Buenos Aires. He was very informative, took us to a local Choripan restaurant and made our experience fantastic.

Our guide, Aime, was fantastic! What a fun experience seeing an estancia with a great meal, horseback ride (easy), and cultural dance show after lunch. Well worth it!

A must experience if you visit Buenos Aires! Great meal and fantastic cultural experience.

What a fantastic hike, however make sure you are prepared for a 9hr, 12.5 mile hike which will test you. This was our favorite excursion of our vacation. After approximately 4-5 hours you new h the summit and are treated to an unbelievable view of Fitz Roy and all of the accompanying scenery including beautiful teal colored lakes Our guide, Virginia, made our experience by observing the pace that made us feel most comfortable and never made us feel like we needed to move faster or slower. She explained all of the history of the different trails and mountains as well as the culture. It was easily our most memorable experience!

What a cool experience. You travel a couple of hours out on Lake Argentina to a remote ranch where guides take you to the top to view the Upsala Glacier field. Once back down to the estancia you enjoy a great meal and museum tour.

An absolute must experience! Words can’t describe the views and experience of hiking on the glacier. Our guide, Vanessa, met us at the hotel and took us into Glacier National Park for an experience of a lifetime. After the mini-trek hike on the glacier she then spent another couple of hours taking us along the walkways to view the glacier from a different view. All the while always patient and taking the time to educate us on the glacier and its’ history.

What a fun experience. It was just hard enough to make it interesting and fun yet eat enough for all levels to enjoy as we have never crafted before. Our guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made us all feel part of a team as we made our way down the River.

Our guide was very informative and flexible. Great way to see Buenos Aires!

The hotels in Mendoza were wonderful, the wine was fantastic and it was a very relaxing stay in the region.

Ushuaia is a special place and there really are four seasons in a day! We enjoyed our short stay there very much.

Unbelievably beautiful, awesome falls.

The hotel is very centrally located for driving and walking activities. It was very clean. The linens particularly were very comfortable. Was a little loud in the evenings and mornings as we were on the side of the street. The breakfast was beautiful and ample. The staff was very formal and professional, more informative than friendly.

From the welcome drink and towel to the breakfast buffet this hotel was the must luxurious of the trip. The proximity to the national park was second to none. The monkeys, while a nuisance to the staff, we’re an absolute delight to the guests. We particularly enjoyed the other visitors to this hotel. Lots of lovely families and couples. Pricey but worth it if you can swing it. I’ll dream of that breakfast buffet for ever!!

30 min outside of Mendoza city, and a 30 min walk to the small town’s centrum made the location of this guest house questionable. The room was basic. The hotel itself could’ve had lovely ambience and a family or homey feel however, we never saw the same staff members twice so I felt like we could never connect with the place. Dinner service was spotty in the restaurant so each night we had to make the long walk into the village to find something to eat. Breakfast was limited and very basic bread and jam and fruit.

Loved this!

I will recommend this to anyone I know who is visiting.

I’m so glad we added this. A visit to the falls just isn’t the same without visiting both sides.

I did not feel like we really needed a guide for the Argentinian side of the falls. Walking the trails was included in our hotel and as long as we had the right information, we could’ve made it to the boat trip without any problem on our own

Loved it all! Marco and driver were a great pair. I love how excited Marco got introducing us to each new winery. His energy was contagious. I loved when he joined us in conversation with the Vineyard employees.

It was really special getting to visit so many different vineyards . It really makes you appreciate the differences in the wine. Again, it was delightful having Marcos join us at several of the sites. His knowledge added to the conversation and his, delightful humor, and personality.

A little” kitche”, but a charming “must do” when in Buenos Aries

I loved this walking tour so much. I’ll recommend Valeria to our friends who make similar trips
