I did this trip with my mother and it was an incredible experience. The entire itinerary was perfectly organized and everything went exactly as planned! The Aconcagua Mountain Tour in Mendoza was breathtaking, and we absolutely loved the Guanabara Bay Cruise in Rio. A perfect mix of culture, nature, and great wine. Highly recommended!!!!
13-Day South America: Mountains & BeachesWe had an amazing experience with Aborigen Tours! Our guide Karina was wonderful, and made every moment special. The landscapes and experiences were unforgettable.
Chile: Santiago - Viña del mar - Valparaíso- San Pedro de Atacama - Arica - 11 daysThe tour was good. However, I would prefered if the tour was handle completly by Chilean company and not by company in Argentina. The tours in Atacama were great and our guide was exceptional. All the transportation between hotels and airports ware very good. The hotels in Santiago and Atacama were picked by the company in Argentina. The hotel in Santiago had almost no existant internet, a lot of the receptionists didn't sppeak English and the room last night was very old, with no elevator to the 5th floor. The lodge in Pedro de Atacama was ok, but no TV and very bad internet and it was located far from downtown. Everytime we had to go to eat the owners had to drive us downtown and back. Also we were not adviced what to bring for Atacama desert. We had to shop for sweaters, hats, gloves when we arrived. If the tour was completly handle by Chilean company that would have been communicated in advance. The guide in Samtiago, Valparraiso and Vina del Mar was good, but we didn't go to all places that were listed in the tours. In summary, a great places to visit but the tour can be improved if handle by a single company in Chile.
