Best of Argentina and Chile in 16 Days

Mar 15 - Mar 29, 2025
Johanna helped up plan an intensive 16-day trip. She was the only person who found a way to fit in everything we wanted to see in our 2-week time frame. The trip included Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, three stops in Patagonia, the Atacama Desert and Santiago. Most of the trip went smoothly but 9/12 members of our group were bumped from a flight but Johanna and her team worked quickly to get us another flight. Johanna and team were quick to respond to any issues and correct any snags (e.g., I had to pay for a couple of things but was quickly reimbursed). The local guides were for the most part amazing (only had one lame one at Iguazu Falls). We very much enjoyed seeing the wonders of Argentina and Chile!
Hotel Reviews
We really liked the Palo Santo Hotel. One of my friends expressed a strong desire to revisit, especially because of its location in the Palermo neighborhood. It was super convenient with currency exchanges and restaurants nearby. Overall, it was very comfortable and well-situated.
The Remota Patagonia Lodge was a standout for us. The style and aesthetics were first-class, with the whole place having a high-end, spa-like feel. The restaurant was excellent and having a swimming pool added to the experience. I would highly recommend it.
Activity Reviews
We had a wonderful time on the Buenos Aires Walking City Tour! Our guide, Diana, was excellent and really enriched our experience with her knowledge.
The visit to the Penguin Colony on Isla Martillo was a mixed experience. While the penguins were interesting and the scenery beautiful, the tour of the museum at Harberton Ranch was excessively long. The content was educational, but a shorter, optional tour would have been preferable as it stretched into the late evening.
