Fantastic Experience!
Argentina

Feb 24 - Mar 3, 2024
We have always planned trips ourselves, however this trip we decided to use KimKim for our trip to Argentina and we could not have been more pleased.
The execution was completely flawless as we went from Buenos Aires to El Chalten and to El Calafate. Ana designed the trip based on our likes and everything was better than we could have expected. Our drivers were fantastic, always on time and ready to go and our guides were a 10 out of 10.
In Buenos Aires, Enrique showed us around the city with great detail and patience, while Aime showed us a fantastic time at the Estancia excursion. On the next leg of the trip, Monica met us in El Calafate to transfer us to El Chalten which was a highlight of our trip. Our hiking guide, Virginia, took us on a 9hr hike to the summit to view Fitz Roy and it was special. Virginia was informative, patient, fun to connect with and made our experience very special. On day 2 we did the rafting experience which, again, was fun and flawless. Next we ventured down to El Calafate where we visited Estancia Christina which was another unforgettable experience in remote Patagonia. Next, Vanessa met us and took us into Glacier National
Park for an unforgettable experience. After hiking the glacier, Vanessa spent the next 3 hours walking us along the walkways of the glacier and educated us on everything about the culture, the park, and the glacier.
In summation, all of our guides truly loved what they did and they took the time to share what they knew with us which made the experience that much better. Ana and the team from KimKim did an unbelievable job creating an itinerary that was perfect for us and delivered on everything from flights, transfers, guides, hotels, and overall execution. I’m not sure we have ever traveled and had everything go perfectly according to plan……until now! Thanks Ana and KimKim!
Hotel Reviews
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.
Activity Reviews
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.
Thanks for the comments on each spot, accommodation, and guide. We are so proud of our team for making possible the magic behind every journey.
A special thanks for your trust in letting me put together this itinerary for your two! We hope to have you... Read more
