Oscar, our guide, and Julio our driver, prepared us a fantastic breakfast, with scrambled eggs and avocado. It was fantastic! Oscar was always willing to answer our questions, super friendly and easygoing! We had to move a bit faster in the locations due to timing but we were able to enjoy it!”

“I was lucky enough to be the only person on the tour, and Paula was a superb guide. We traveled on various forms of transport and stopped at multiple points of interest around the colourful city that I would never have seen otherwise: the fish market, sea lions and pelicans were an unexpected highlight for me! Her choice of restaurant for lunch was also good: great food and views of the city. I highly recommend this tour.”

Ride from Santiago to Valle Nevado for a ski day with hotel transfers, mountain views, rental options, and five hours at 3,000 meters.
“O transporte foi bastante pontual, com guia e motoristas super simpáticos. A comunicação do horário de saída foi feita no dia anterior como planejado. Os únicos pontos de atenção são: A van não é muito espaçosa para as pernas e o rental de alugar roupas é muito caro com roupas medianas (aspecto de velhas). Fora isso tudo dentro do esperado, no geral foi uma experiência ok. Cumpre seu papel.”
Pick a desert, a vineyard or a glacier.
