We had a wonderful trip to Chile. All the flight conne tions were seamless, pickups and transportation always on time, and very nice. We loved the red rocks tour and valley of the moon tours in Atacama. Shout out to Marta who was an outstanding first guide in Chile! The geyser tour a as fine but the 430 am pickup was too early for two vacationing families with teens especially since it was still dark when we got to the geysers so couldn't see a lot of detail. Pablo our driver in Puerto Natales was kind and welcoming. Paulina and Heme were patient guides with 4 middle aged Americans and 4 teens! We felt safe and well served and the view for the base of the Towers was amazing. Our teens saw a puma and the adults survived the walk. The glacier tour was wonderful and a nice down day between two active hiking days. Our rental house was amazing with outstanding views! We loved our time in Chile!

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Kimal
San Pedro de Atacama

From day one the welcome was warm and the individual rooms were private and peaceful. Being only one block from the main street was a plus. We had early tours every day but the hotel had a bagged breakfast/ snack bag ready for us every morning. It was a unique experience to start our visit to Chile!

The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are clean, and the beds are very comfortable. The hotel had a great restaurant with excellent food. The only slight negative was we asked for late checkout and they said we had until 1pm when we checked in but called our teens room at 1215pm the next day and told them they had to leave and locked us out of our room at 12 so we had to get new keys to get our stuff out of the room. Better communication at the front desk level would have avoided this issue.

Hi Susan,

I'm happy to hear that both families had a great time during your 9-day trip getting to explore Atacama and the Patagonia 😊

I will pass along your praises to our guides and drivers that can really make an impact during trips and we are happy they were able to make a positive one for you! And thank you for the feedback about the hotels; it's super important for us to now how they're operating day to day so we can make improvements for future travelers.

Don't hesitate to reach out in the future for another trip to Chile. Maybe a visit to Easter Island? 🗿

All the best,
Jesse
