La Yegua Loca

Highlights?: Afternoon trek in the Moon Valley Atacama to see the sunset. It was magical.  Patagonian 12K trek to Grey Glacier and boat trip to face of glacier.  Rapa Nui to see the Moai at the quarry and Tongariki.  

GB, Lytham st. annes

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

MP, Hemel Hempstead

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

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?: 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

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

The lasting impressions of this great country will be with me forever. So will the fantastic photos and memories.

PC, Hereford

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

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

Chile is a very safe, friendly and beautiful country. 

CP, Budleigh Salterton

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. 

CM

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

MA, Lancaster

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

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

KD, Dartford

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

We loved all of southern Patagonia but four days at the Explora was undoubtedly the highlight.

NM, London

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

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

SB, Solihull

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.

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

PC, Galashiels

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."
