Chile Tours for Seniors

My wife and I recently returned from 3+ weeks in Chile and Argentina. We started in the Atacama Desert area of Northern Chile, (staying at an all-inclusive), then on to Torres del Paine (staying at the Atacama's sister hotel), then to Estancia Christina, then to El Calafate (staying at a chateau), then to El Chalten, Mendoza (staying at a Wine Lodge), and Buenos Aires. Our primary objective was to experience the rugged beauty and hiking through Patagonia while enjoying a true first-class travel experience. WE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE THRILLED WITH THE TRIP. IT WAS PERFECT IN ALL RESPECTS. Our trip planner and his travel team delivered the most amazing experience imaginable. If you are thinking of traveling in Patagonia, you MUST stay at the all-inclusive in Atacama and Patagonia. Five-star service, food, rooms, guide services, and more. We hiked over 100 miles in the 12 days of hiking and enjoyed gourmet meals and exquisite rooms/service.

Not only did this travel team do a superior job planning our trip, but they also followed up with us every day or two to ensure we were thrilled with our trip. Every transfer went off without a hitch. The trip planner and his team are totally committed to delivering an incredible experience. I give them the highest recommendation. You will NOT be disappointed!

Finally, a word of praise for Zicasso. We have used them 3 times to assist in matching us with in-country trip planners: Australia/New Zealand, Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos, and Argentina/Chile. We have had consistently superior experiences as a result of their guidance! I recommend using them to plan your next high-end private tour.

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.

In January 2018, my wife, Jeff and Peggy (longtime friends) and I discovered that we were independently considering a trip to Patagonia.  We decided to travel together and combine the sites each wanted to see into a single trip.  I learned of Zicasso from a friend at work and reached out to you on line.  I was then contacted by our travel planner of this travel company. From the beginning, our travel planner was a Godsend.  First, she listened to our wish list and offered helpful and inciteful comments and recommendations.  Although I had visited Patagonia around Esquel in Argentina we had never visited Chile or father south in Argentina.   Our travel planner helped us put together a trip that gave us plenty of time to enjoy our stays in our primary destinations of Torres del Pine, El Calafate and El Chalten.  We had enough time to enjoy Santiago, Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar but were quickly on our way to Patagonia.

Our travel planner had arranged transfers between all of our locations.  Having traveled all over the world, I was amazed to find our drivers waiting at the airports for us, our tours drivers arriving on time, our transfer drivers arriving on schedule.  Everything went off flawlessly.  Our guides on board spoke very good English.  In El Calafate, Jeff and I went flyfishing for two days.  Our guide, Federico, was great and also spoke very good English.  Despite challenging conditions because of wind and rain, we each caught nice fish and even ended up being the focus of a French TV crew that was doing a tourism piece on Patagonia.  I can't tell you how they edited the filming, but we mentioned our travel planner, this tour company and Zicasso in our interviews.

Our accommodations were exceptional, especially the hotel in Patagonia.  Jeff and Peggy have traveled the world as have we and never enjoyed our stays at any hotel as much as we did at this hotel.  Our travel planner had told us this would be a highlight of our trip and it certainly was.  The food and service was First Class in all respects.  Our guide at this hotel, Stephanie, became our favorite from the first hike and we requested her everyday thereafter.  In Buenos Aires, we stayed at a hotel which was a wonderful location in Palermo. 

The bottom line is this was truly the tip of a lifetime.  While Zicasso and this travel company certainly have earned our respect and gratitude, it was our travel planner that made it all possible and made it all work.  She is a dedicated and passionate representative of your companies, Patagonia and Buenos Aires.  I plan to work with her on future trips and have already recommended going through your companies and requesting our travel planner for thier trips to South America.

Amazing trip to Santiago, Valparaiso, Torres del Paine, cruise through Tierra del Fuego, Iguazu Falls and 4 nights in Buenos Aires.  Stayed at Patagonia Camp and on cruise both of which were extremely accommodating to different levels of outdoor experience.  The cruise folk were just amazing; could not imagine better caring, support, food, friendliness.  The travel company was always in touch before and during trip, demonstrated great knowledge of options and arranged top quality guides that spoke excellent English. Agent was also very responsive with correcting error on type we were given and got things straightened out immediately.
