Hotel Awa

Highlights: Visiting Patagonia and staying at the Patagonia camp

FT, Mansfield

Our experience at Patagonia Camp was the most memorable part of the trip. Everyone at the camp really cared for the place and the experience they were providing for their clients, from the restaurant staff to the reception staff to the guides. They were all delightful to deal with and the guides in particular deserve special mention for their knowledge and commitment to the preservation of the TdP National Park and the ethos of the camp. 

RE, Knutsford

Most memorable experiences: The Atacama Desert.  An impressive place with friendly people.  The  Ahlarkapin Observatory trip was outstanding and a real highlight.

PM, Redditch

Overall we have had two of the most memorable weeks in one of the world’s most varied geographical environments and the friendly Chilean people. Thank you JLA.

SJ, Welwyn

Patagonia for its stark beauty, stunning snow covered mountains and tranquility.

SB, Solihull

We have travelled a lot in our lifetime but nothing prepares you for the breadth of landscapes that you will encounter in Chile. We had three weeks there and felt we only scratched the surface.

Amazing!

Chile was AMAZING!!! We loved the country, the scenery and all the people we met. Glad we had warm clothes for the trip or we would have come unstuck in Atacama, especially when going to the geysers as it was minus ten degrees. As we approached the cruise time we wondered if we'd cope with the Zodiacs, but everyone was so helpful and safety conscious. The all-time highlight of so many on our holiday was, standing in silence at the Pia Glacier.

I loved the desert and my husband liked Patagonia.  The lunch in the Casablanca wine valley was outstanding.

SD,

Most Memorable Moment?: For me, Torres del Paine as it appeared and disappeared through the clouds. The Explora hotel is in a fantastic setting and the views of the mountains are stunning. For my wife, she loved the Atacama and the Moon Valley in particular. Walking through the valley when there were just the three of us was really memorable.

JM, Hatfield

Highlight?: Patagonia camp

MM, Southsea

Each separate part of the trip was excellent. Patagonia most memorable for scenery and Easter Island for history and scenery.

RR, Aberdeen

Highlights: The Explora hotel experience and the Perito Moreno glacier

BT, Surbiton

Highlight?: Easter Island and seeing the moai statues was a lifelong dream and did not disappoint. The guide was excellent a fantastic and beautiful island.

LVA, Tamworth

Most memorable experience: "Sailing across the Magelllan Straits and getting off on Cape Horn. This was the key reason for my trip which was motivated by a dim and distant history lesson when I was 12 years old. To think that these treacherous waters were navigated and discovered by sailors in wooden boats over 500 years ago has always been a magical thought. Doing it in the comfort of 21st century luxury was a much better option for me but to think that I have walked in the footsteps of Magellan and later Darwin is quite something else."

TEB, Grays

Highlight: Torres Del Paine

CG, Amersham

The visit was basically divided into three separate parts - self driving on the Carretera Austral, the ferry cruise which I arranged separately, and the visit to Tierra Patagonia. In their very different ways, all were excellent and memorable.

TAK, Ilkley

Highlight?: Easter Island - amazing place - very good food, hardly any tourists and extraordinary history/statues etc. We could easily have stayed an extra night there. I would strongly recommend hiring a car there. We also booked a snorkelling trip which was good.

CK, Ashtead

Wonderful

We have had two of the most memorable weeks in one of the world’s most varied geographical environments and the friendly Chilean people. Thank you JLA.

AK, Stoke Newington

Highlight: The Atacama Desert

BL, Tunbridge wells

I was amazed and enthralled by Chile and am looking forward to visiting again.

DP, Chiswick

Highlights: "Watching the Milky Way in Elquis Valley."

MA, Lancaster

The whole experience of Atacama and Torres del Paine was amazing. In between Puerto Varas provided a welcome and relaxing contrast. The introductory tours of Santiago and Valparaiso worked very well and the guides were great... but experience tame compared to the other three destinations! Matetic was a fun last day/night.

KH, London

From the point of view of JLA's organisation of our trip, the most memorable feature was the quality of the many small hotels we stayed in and the unforgettable views we so often had from our rooms. From the point of view of the trip itself, the most memorable places were 6 days of Torres del Paine in glorious sunshine and the indescribably wild and beautiful Southern Ocean. 

KB, Esher

Most memorable experience: "So much but probably Torres del Paine, breathtakingly beautiful and not crowded although it was the busiest part of the year. Also the friendliness of the people, and lack of hassle everywhere- the only place where there was a bit was in the fish market in Santiago, but even there it was very low key and the people were not at all pushy."

MT, Henley-on-Thames

We really enjoyed Easter Island but the Atacama was the most memorable part!

ME, Caernarfon

Highlights:- Chile was just fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experiences in both Patagonia and Atacama. Really quite memorable.

Most Memorable Moment: Cycling around Puerto Varas in Chile.

JL, Studley

Chile felt safe and modest, a delight to visit.

NH, Bridgewater

Patagonia- exceeded very high expectations. JLA were great.

AH, Northampton

Being served Pisco Sours on the deck of the boat at Grey Glacier.  The scenery was stunning and came as a surprise after the poor visibility on the outward trip.
