Romantic 10-Day Getaway to Chile: Cities, Mountains & Beaches

This agency arranged a wonderful trip for us to Argentina and Chile (Buenos Aires, Mendoza, El Calafate, Torres del Paine, Santiago and San Pedro de Atacama).  The itinerary was prepared with our input and budget considerations though a very easy interactive process with their team. The accommodations and tours were as promised and we had a wonderful vacation that included city tours, wine tasting and some more adventurous outings in Patagonia and the Atacama Desert.  I can certainly recommend them for your travel needs without any hesitation.  A big thanks to our travel planners and the rest of the travel team.

I was working on the suggestion of my son that we should consider a trip to Chile! What an awkward place to visit, I thought! It turned out to be the trip of a lifetime. In our planning the trip, I stumbled upon Zicasso  and with the help of our agent created an itinerary that we thought would suit our needs. Our agent had to persuade us a bit to spend some extra time in the desert in lieu of some days in the capital. That turned out to be the best advice ever. San Pedro de Atacama is a fascinating destination. Magnificent landscapes, towering mountains, salt lakes, varied wildlife and outdoor activities e.g sand boarding for those willing to skate down a 100metre sand slope in the Death Valley! The visit to the Moon Valley at sunset was a highlight,especially when our guides surprised us with a fantastic bottle of Carmenere complimented by superb cheeses and ham. After 3 days in the desert it was time to head south to Patagonia. Excellent care was taken of our travel arrangements, although the airline temporarily lost one of our 4 suitcases( 4 travellers). Our travel company was sure to keep a tab on that minor inconvenience and all worked out well after 2 days when the recovery was made. In the meantime, the hotel was a splendid choice for a base to explore Patagonia. Nothing was left to chance by the hotel staff and their guides to ensure our comfort. The south was equally impressive as the desert although poles apart in climate and scenery. The final leg in Santiago was short but sweet. The hotel there went far far beyond our expectations. What a splendid little boutique hotel: elegant,friendly and warm! I am grateful for the assistance that our travel company provided us in planning and executing this trip.

We have just returned from a trip to Chile. Our travel agent arranged our trip and I cannot speak highly enough of her, and everyone else that we met on her team.  She organized a 5 day trip to the Atacama Desert and a day trip to Valparaiso which followed a business trip that my husband attended in Santiago.

This travel agency was one of 3 agencies that Zicasso contacted us with when we began planning our travel.  All were good but this one stood out from our travel agent's initial email and phone call to us.  She provided us with several possible detailed itineraries in Atacama and was knowledgeable and helpful to us in making our choice of the Atacama resort.  We highly recommend this hotel! It is situated close to the town of San Pedro in a beautiful valley.  The hotel sits very naturally into the setting.  It's quiet and the rooms are comfortable. We chose the all-inclusive rate which included 2 guided half day tours or one full day tour per day, and all meals.  We stayed in Atacama for 5 days and every day we explored a new and different terrain.  The guides were fantastic! And, it was nice to come back to relax at the hotel and enjoy a delicious meal with great service.

Our travels through Chile and Argentina organized by our travel agency was amazing. We visited the Atacama Desert in the northern part of Chile. Then went on to Patagonia where we spent time doing some hiking and viewing the glaciers. It was a private tour and our accommodations were perfect for us. In smaller towns where we could wander around and observe the local life. Liked being able to stay multiple days in several places so we didn’t have to move everyday. Our guides were all very informative and accommodating.Ignacio and were always very prompt with their responses whenever we had a question before and during the trip. All our pick ups and transfers were always on time. Totally satisfied with this travel company and definitely recommend them. 

We spent two weeks in Chile, comprising a visit to Santiago and surrounding areas, Patagonia and Atacama during December/January of 2017-18.  Our experience has made Chile one of our top vacation destinations, and we found Patagonia to be one of the most beautiful places on the planet!

Our travel agency was key to making Chile special for us.  They were very responsive throughtout the early phase when we were planning our trip, and helped us think through the logistics very well.  At every spot, they added elements that made our hotel stays a great experience.  We were in constant communication with our agent through a text chat and she helped us with restaurant reservations, changes to our plans, questions and so on throughout our trip.

Thank you to our travel company for a great Chile experience.  We will surely be back.
