Hotel Vendaval

Most Memorable Moment?: So many overall but the glaciers, Torres, the cruise and Orcas/penguins.

AB, Fordingbridge

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

KD, Dartford

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.

RW, Cyprus

Most Memorable Moment?: Difficult to say as so many. I think seeing the first upright statues on Easter Island as I've wanted to see them since I was a child

BN, Marlborough

Most Memorable Moment?: The stunning beauty of Torres del Paine ; we were very lucky with the weather in Patagonia Our estancia brief visit, en route, was also very nice.

RL, Solihull

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

MA, Lancaster

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

Highlight?: Patagonia camp

MM, Southsea

We have wanted to visit Chile for a very long time.  You arranged a very special holiday for us, which gave us a wonderful taste of this amazing country.

PCA, Riding Mill

DW, Winchester

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

Most Memorable Moment: "Too many to mention!Perhaps Champions parade in Rio - front row seats - fabulous! May be Torres del Paine - fabulous hotel Tierra Patagonia- outstanding scenery. Memorable moment -perhaps driving around Lake Llanquihue gradually seeing the mist clear to beautiful clear blue skies and lake and seeing The Osorno Volcano appear with  low cloud drifting across its centre just as we across a very pretty lakeside café with no one there and being able to sit in the warm sunshine quite alone and enjoy the most spectacular view."

JM, Wantage

The picnic by Lake Pehoe provided by The Singular was exceptional- totally exceeded our expectations. 

YLS,

Highlights: “I went to Chile mainland without any knowledge and was overwhelmed.  The geology was stunning and range of scenery amazing”

PC, Galashiels

Highlight?: Difficult to separate a sunny, windless clear day at Torres del Paine ( plus several others nearly as good).  And deep snow in the Altiplano round Miscanti lakes. So good even the drivers were taking photos.      Both quite excellent.

DH, Milnthorpe

The whole holiday was memorable but Patagonia Camp and the walk to the Torres del Paine was the best. Absolutely breath taking. We wished we had stayed one more night here.

CB, Tonbridge

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

Highlight: The Atacama Desert

BL, Tunbridge wells

A truly memorable trip all round because of the contrasts very difficult to pick the most memorable but Valparasio Casa Higueras we would have loved to have stayed longer and in Vina del Mar.

DS, Chesham

Mount Fitz Roy and Los Torres, particularly the Pliegue tumblado walk.

DS, Leatherhead

So many highlights- Tatio geyser, base of Torres del Paine walk, seeing puma and Easter Island memories for life

HM, Bristol

Highlight: "Easter Island for it's uniqueness and remoteness. Excellent wines and food in Mendoza and Casablanca Valley in Chile. The Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires was spectacular. The friendliness of people in Colonia."

JR, Grimsby

Most Memorable Moment?: Rapa Nui - a unique environment with lots of architectural and historical interest and also comtemporary culture (Tapati festival). Very interesting.

AB, Burnham-On-Crouch

Numerous memories but seeing a puma emerge from bushes 10 paces or fewer away from us when returning from Mirador las Torres. It totally ignored us but gave us some shaky photos.

EG, Hereford

Most Memorable Moment?: Very difficult to pick one from so many but probably the walk up to Torres Del Paine Mirador - although it was a tough day.

SB, Milnthorpe

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

Most Memorable Moment?: Very difficult! Vulcan Osorno, Moon Valley (even if not part of the arranged itinerary!), Tatio Geysers, Easter Island statues...

RW, High peak

Highlights: Visiting Patagonia and staying at the Patagonia camp

FT, Mansfield

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.
