Chile | Aug 12 - Sep 9, 2024

I have nothing but FANTSTIC things to say about KimKim, Responsible Travel, and the entire team that helped us plan and bring to life an amazing trip to Chile. The KimKim platform is excellent for communicating and planning travel; Both Tamir and Cami were super responsive during the planning process, filled with suggestions and advice about what to see and do during our time in Chile. Once we arrived in Santiago, we were met by our extraordinary guide, Angel, our on-the-ground local expert resource and friend. Angel was incredibly welcoming, knowledgable, flexible and creative in his approach to sharing his country and culture with us. He was very responsive to our needs, and totally game for unusual requests (like a mid-winter swim in the ocean!). We had four weeks of travel in Chile, and things went very, very smoothly; KimKim dealt with all the bookings (lodging, transport, tours), and Angel and the KimKim team were always there for us to answer questions or provide us with additional information. Santiago was the base out of which we traveled, so we were able to connect with Angel throughout our time in Chile. Angel is, quite simply, a fantastic guide, and he’s now a good friend. We look forward to returning to Chile and reconnecting with him!

Many thanks to the KimKim team for all their help in making our Chile adventure so epic!

Astronomical Tour - Atacama Desert

San Pedro de Atacama

Communication breakdown led to us not being informed about tour cancellation because of sky cover. Tour went the following day. Beautiful time in the desert, moon was bright so star-gazing was just OK.
