Wonderful trip to Chile

We had a wonderful trip to Chile. From airport pickup, to the tour of Santiago and Valparaiso, both driver Eliseo and guide Claudio were amazing. All the tours in our next stop in San Pedro de Atacama turned out well. We did have some questions with the transportation, but Jesse was super responsive when we reached out for confirmation. After a busy few days of tours, our last stop in Pichilemu was a delightful change of pace. Hotel Alaia offered an incredible setting and the staff were all so welcoming. Overall a great trip and we are looking forward to visiting Chile again!
Hotel Reviews
Great view of the mountains. Felt safe with several walkable restaurants. Nice Breakfast
Nice resort with great pool and spa. Offered a shuttle between the hotel and town which is nice, but required as it is a little ways outside. The food was ok, but menu somewhat limited.
Spectacular setting and views. Staff was all very friendly and accommodating. Food was excellent. They have a long list of provided activities, but be sure to contact the hotel about them or book ahead of time.
Activity Reviews
Claudio was informative and very accommodating to our interests. A great start to the trip.
The wine tour and tasting were great. Claudio suggested having lunch at the winery, which was delicious. The tour of Valparaiso was interesting, informative and scenic.
The stargazing tour itself was very cool. The pickup and drop off were being changed/coordinated through WhatsApp somewhat last minute. The drivers did not speak any English, but the tour itself did have a translator.
Layana Travel did a great job with communication and the tour was incredible. The tour guide and driver were great. The meals were somewhat lacking compared to other tours nearby, but were just fine.
Very cool. Long drive to see the Geysers, but was a beautiful spot. There were extra stops on the way back we were not anticipating. The tour dropped us in the town center and unfortunately the hotel shuttle wasn't running yet, so was a somewhat long walk back after a very early morning.
We didn't really know what to expect from this tour, but it was great. The guide and driver were both top notch. The hike was a pleasant surprise and the food spread and cocktail at sunset were delightful.
Hi Mary,
I'm so happy to read that you and Max enjoyed your trip in Chile 😊
I will see what happened with the dropoffs in San Pedro since it should have been at the hotel! Apologies for the inconvenience.
Please don't hesitate to reach out again for your next adventure to explore more of our beautiful country!
All the best,
Jesse
