Patagonia Travel Agents

Let me preface this by saying we take pride in planning our own trips - we like the challenge and the adventure. But when my wife decided our next destination would be Argentina, we knew we would need some help. Enter Flor - the trip magician. Flor took all of our ideas and made them a reality - and gave us ideas we didn't even know we wanted. She was endlessly patient as we made multiple tweaks to the itinerary, getting the balance just right.

We had a delightful time in Buenos Aires, but the magic really got underway when we arrived in Patagonia - first stop, Calafate. Flor's plan to get us onto the Perito Moreno glacier was flawless - we even got to see the glacier calve a large iceberg up close!

Our private transfer to El Chalten was led by the most wonderful guide, Florencia. She brought the Argentinian culture alive, sharing Yerba mate and homemade treats with us. She is a wealth of knowledge and passion, and made us feel so welcome.

But by far the biggest highlight was visiting Estancia Bonanza - outside El Chalten. Flor suggested this stay for us, and it was pure heaven. Majestic views of Mt. Fitzroy, generous hospitality, delicious food, and comfortable accommodations nestled in a remote valley surrounded by the Andes.

Without a doubt, we will be using KimKim again. They made our trip smooth and simple - all we had to do was enjoy!

Estancia Bonanza

El Chaltén

Our stay at Estancia Bonanza was pure heaven - nestled in a remote valley with majestic views of Mt. Fitzroy, we loved every minute of our stay. From tea and breakfast with Lili who welcomed us as if she were welcoming a friend into her own kitchen, to wine on the porch outside the dining room, to beautifully served dinners, we felt at home at every turn. We traveled with our adult children, and everyone was able to choose his or her level of challenge on the excursions, including a beautiful horseback ride along the river. We will find our way back to this extraordinary place!

My wife and I used Kimkim to arrange an 8 day tour of Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales, and Torres Del Paines. From the initial planning of the itinerary to the first airport pickup to the last airport dropoff everything exceeded our expectations. My wife and I had never been to Chile, and Angel was extremely patient in going over the options to help us set up a terrific itinerary. The hotels were exactly what we were hoping for, and the activities - penguin watching, dolphin watching, glacier hiking, car rental - were incredibly memorable. Our local guide Jose was passionate and knowledgeable about Torres Del Paines, and the day he spent driving us through the park was a the highlight of the trip. Jose was also always available via Whatsapp to assist with any questions and recommendations.

Thanks to Angel, Jose, and the good folks at Kimkim for terrific and memorable vacation!

Erin and Nara were fabulous to work with in planning our trip to Patagonia. We found them very organized and quick to respond to any requests or questions. They provided us with a complete itinerary with every detail spelled out. We had an unforgettable experience hiking the W trek. Without their expertise and guidance I’m not sure how successful and enjoyable the trip would have been. We are KimKim fans we used them last year for a Spain/ Portugal trip also. We will definitely use their services again.

Hotel Reviews

Hotel Costaustralis

Puerto Natales

Excellent hotel for a stay in Porto Natales. The location is perfect for exploring town on foot. The view from the front of hotel is beautiful. The staff and breakfast buffet were fabulous. Because it is located on a busy street it can be a bit noisy. The rooms facing the road have the best views but if noise is a concern, ask for a room not facing the road.

Discover the Beagle Channel - Full Day Penguins + Beagle Channel Navigation

Ushuaia

We enjoyed this experience and especially loved seeing the penguins. The Beagle Channel tour was informative. We feel that it would have been enough to just spend one day in Ushuaia since this seems to be mostly a port for Antarctica trips.

The penguins of course! So cute.

Clean bus transfer to penguins colony. It was a long dirt road to get there which we weren’t expecting.

Day Trip to a Patagonian Estancia

Excellent time there. Highly recommended. We were not sure what to expect. The time spent horse riding was great and our host was amazing. She knew a lot of things about the place and the biology. Great time. And yes, the lamb was just amazingly good.

Planning and execution of the itinerary was flawless. Glad we trusted kimkim and their partners in making the trip hassle free and all we had to worry about was how to enjoy it. Our Buenos Aires chauffer Leo was exceptional. Felipe and Florencia kept in touch in making sure our trip prep and arrival are going as planned. They gave many helpful tips in navigating Argentina. We loved our Glacier tour guide Pablo very informative and made the 50ish km trip entertaining!Our favorite was the Penguin island tour. We were running late but they waited for us for extra 5mins and so glad we did not miss it. Mery our trip planner was very patient with me as I kept changing my mind about the itinerary but once we got it together she organized everything and I did not have to worry a bit. Thank you very much Kimkim!
