Jesse did a fantastic job coordinating my trip. It was easy to communicate with her in advance of the trip. When I got in country, everything ran smoothly. All of the guides and drivers showed up as expected in the right location and on time, the excursions were a lot of fun, and the hotels were as expected. I had no reason to be in contact with her while in country, which is exactly what one would hope to be the case. My only recommendation would be to let the traveler know in advance of the formal entry requirements/forms for Easter Island. I learned through the LATAM website that I needed some special documentation for Easter Island. That made me a little nervous and would have been niceto know in advance. Aside from that, flawless!

Wasn't the best hotel but I intentionally skimped on this hotel to save money. So I got what I paid for.

Took a little bit to understand how to get hot water. Had a couple days of cold water at first. Had a broken light in my room that took a while to get fixed. I couldn't get the screen door in the back of my room to lock--not sure if it did. But again, as expected for a two-star hotel.

Hi Ariel,

I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed your 7-day adventure in Chile getting to know some of Santiago and especially Easter Island 🤗 It's such a unique destination that a lot of people don't realize is possible to visit during their travels to Chile!

I hope you also enjoyed your continued journey to the Patagonia and hope you'll be back in the future to explore even further. Maybe a trip to the Atacama Desert? 🌵

All the best,
Jesse
