Zona Sur Tours & Trips
Ever looked at southern Chile on a map? Around Lago Llanquihue and Lago Todos los Santos, the landscape is shaped by water and volcanic peaks. Routes like the Seven Lakes pass forests and small towns, while Conguillio National Park keeps a more rugged feel. Bariloche sits nearby, known for its alpine setting and chocolate shops. Every square inch is stunning.

This was the first organized bike tour. So I dont have another one to compare it to. Here are my comments 1. Communication with Tour Radar (email and phone) was excellent, they answered all my pre-trip questions. 2. Our Bike Guide and his 2 assistant guides were excellent: very attentive, responsive, helpful, and friendly. 3. Quality of Rooms... (I was sharing with another female) varied a lot. Some rooms were very small, and we noticed that the rooms occupied by other members of our group were much better (bigger and/or nicer) Most noticeable was the room at Baita EcoLodge on our last 2 nights - it was way inferior to all the others-- why? We paid the same as them. 4. We should not have been asked to pay for the TIP for lunches (since lunch was included). I was more than happy to pay the recommended TIP amount for the guides at the end of the trip, but not for the LUNCH TIP. 5. As one of the oldest and slowest biker, I often felt I was being "rushed" to keep up with the others, and was at the "threshold" point between 'pleasure' and "pain".... and no time to stop and enjoy the view, etc. Another time, maybe i should not choose a "challenging' trip? Or a hybrid bike trip instead of a mountain bike trip? 6. Enjoyed the WhatsApp group - to have access to photos from other people. Maybe the guides could make extra effort to ensure we got great scenic ones. I am now organizing photos and wish I had more good ones.... due to being "rushed" to keep up, I missed out on taking some nice pics. 7. Is there a way to order a TRIP Topographical MAP with the actual roads we took? Maybe via National Geographic? Would love to have that, to show people. 8. Value for money. The entire trip with airfare and meals, for Dec 14 to Dec 30 came to USD $6500, which compared to other bike tour operators is high. But airfare was USD 2000 due to high season, If I can find a similar trip for $5500 in future, I would consider coming with Exodus/Tour Radar again..... On the whole a good trip - thank you!!
