I had never used Kimkim before this, and I'm pleased to say that the whole experience with them from trip planning almost a year in advance to day to day experiences in Chile was outstanding. My trip planner Jesse offered ideas and alternatives, and once I had decided where I wanted to go and what I wanted to see she provided me with a detailed day by day itinerary. Outstanding service and great communication throughout.
Arriving late in the day and tired at an airport, one always wonders, will someone be meeting me as promised. There was never a cause for concern with Kimkim, all of the logistical arrangements were on time and perfectly organized.
I must also mention that my guide for a day tour in Santiago, Hernan Rivas Diaz, was among the best that I have ever had the pleasure of spending time with.
Based on my experience in Chile, I will happily book future travel with Kimkim.
Hotel Review
The Lodge Terrantai was like a small oasis in bustling San Pedro de Atacama - very comfortable rooms and nice public spaces, good breakfasts plus lunchtime snacks, afternoon snacks and evening wine tastings, which might better be described as wine drinking over the course of 2 hours. From the moment I walked through the front door until when I left three days later, the friendly staff made me feel at home.
Activity Reviews
I had a particular interest in Chilean history leading up to and following the military coup in 1973, and my guide Hernan Rivas Diaz was aware of this beforehand. The day spent with him was like walking through the pages of a history book, not just about the 1970's but ranging back as far as the Pleistocene and through to today. He also found me a good place to exchange money and we enjoyed a pleasant lunch of empanadas at an outdoor restaurant. He is one of the finest guides that I have ever encountered in all of my travels.
Hi Brent,
I am thrilled to hear that you really enjoyed your 7-day trip in Chile! I knew our guide Hernan was the perfect fit for you and am glad that he was able to provide such an awesome experience 😊
I hope to see you again in Chile! Maybe a visit to the Patagonia or Easter Island? 🗿
All the best,
Jesse
