Hotel Awa

Highlight?: Trips into parts of the Atacma Desert that were not in fact desert but little islands of habitation frequented by only a few.

RP, Glasgow

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

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.

Chile was AMAZING!!!  We loved the country, the scenery and all the people we met.  Glad we had warm clothes for the cruise or we would have come unstuck in Atacama, especially when going to the geysers as it was minus ten Celcius.  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. Our favourite guide was Cyril in Chiloe.  He became a great friend and we had some lovely times together.

RW, Paphos

Patagonia's open spaces, clean air and stunning views.  Chilean people were very friendly and helpful. Excellent food.

MP, Hemel Hempstead

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

ME, Caernarfon

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

SB, Solihull

Time in the Atacama - with Oscar!! Probably one of the most spectacular places we've visited as tourists and we have years of world travel experience behind us.

RB, London

Highlight?: The Grey Glacier

JC, Ipswich

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

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

DP, Chiswick

Impossible to select one part - the whole experience was stunning and allowed us to enjoy the variety and beauty of Chile.

Most memorable experiences: "First sight of San Pedro. Hiring our own car and being alone with the flamingos on the salt lagoons. The Milky Way in the Atacama night sky. Chairlift through the mist on Osorno Volcano. Mountain and glacier views in Patagonia. Pisco sour with everything. The Chilean people - always ready to smile."

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.

Long way to go but thoroughly enjoyed just concentrating on one country i.e. Chile which our destinations covered in detail from top to toe and made us feel that we had really experienced life in Chile.

Chile is a very safe, friendly and beautiful country.
