We had the most amazing trip to Chile, thanks to all the planning by Riwal and Tamer on Kimkim. I told Tamer what we wanted to do, and Riwal assisted in creating the itinerary. After a few changes, we had a great 10 day trip planned. Everything was set up for us, including transportation, activities, and lodging. Riwal was in constant contact while we were there, which gave us a sense of security if something went wrong. Jose was our guide in at the beginning of our trip and he was the absolute best! We visited wineries, went on a city tour, food tour, and were treated to a very nice picnic with a beautiful view of the city and the mountains. After that we stayed at Cascada de Animas and really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Andes. The resort is beautiful and offers so many great activities. Fanny was a great guide on the waterfall hike. Horseback riding was also an amazing experience. After that we traveled to the coast and stayed in Vina Del Mar. The ocean is beautiful and we got to experience the culture during city and food tours of both Vina Del Mar and Valparaiso. Cris and Grex guided us through the cities, and we learned so much about the history of the port cities. Overall, Chile is a warm, welcoming, beautiful country with amazing food and wine. Kimkim did a great job putting this trip together and making it so simple. I highly recommend!

We did a Gastronomic Route in Valparaiso, not Vina Del Mar. But we got to taste ceviche by the sea, check out the food markets, and try different types of empanadas.
