    Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written January 2025

    Unfortunately, we don't have the option for a traveler to share a room with another traveler or tourist. The tour is not a set series where the same participants start and finish together. Instead, it's a tour where she will join different guides and travelers each day for the activities.

    Traveler•Written January 2025

    If I book specific dates for the tour before buying flight tickets, how late could I alter these dates or is it not possible at all? Is it our responsibility to buy flights within Chile or can you help us with that?
  • 

    Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written January 2025

    I can request TourRadar to allow you to split the total cost of your trip into a maximum of two installments. The first payment would be 30% of the total, and the remaining balance would need to be completed at least 15 days before the start of your trip.

    For a single traveller, do I have to select single room which is $4250, not $2825? Is there an option to select Twin room and be matched with another solo traveler from the group?
  • 

    Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written January 2025

    I recommend keeping the dates unchanged when you make your booking. All services, including guided tours, will be paid for and confirmed according to the specific dates of your itinerary. If needed, I can assist you by suggesting the best internal flight schedules for you to book on your own.
  • 

    Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written January 2025

    As you are solo traveler you should select single room which is 4250 USD now. It's not a group departure where everyone starts and finishes together as part of a single group. Instead, each day you'll join different people who may stay in other hotels and have booked through different agencies.

    Are there any tours similar to the Santiago, San Pedro de Atacama and Puerto Varas that are perhaps shorter and therefore a little cheaper? What is the usual size of the group? Does this tour appear to still be available every day in March?
  • 

    Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written February 2025

    I'd be happy to create a shorter itinerary that still includes the destinations you're most interested in visiting while making it more budget-friendly.

    Our tours are guaranteed, we don't need a minimum number of passengers. Yes, we have tours to Easter Island too, when are you planning to visit us? Between 4 and 6 days it's perfect to visit Easter Island. The most important thing to plan the trip to the Island is the flights first we need to secure the flight then we look for the hotel and the tours.

    I am not sure on the month or year but I'm finding out a lot of trips are not guaranteed and I wanted to make sure to find a tour operator who will run a trip and it not be based on the amount of passengers
  • 

    Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written February 2024

    We run tours the whole year. The traditional 4nights tour costs 1100 per person including 2 full-day group tours, a basic hotel with breakfast included, entry fee to the national park. You will have a free day to enjoy by the beach and we can include a diving or snorkeling tour for around 100 extra. We can have a hotel upgrade and pay 1300 per person. Remember first you need to check the flights to choose the dates and after that, we can organize the rest of the tour.

  How many people are typically on the tour? Would it be possible to add days down in Patagonia at the end of the trip instead of coming back to Santiago? Can you give me the names of the hotels where we would stay so we can look into them or are there hotel options?

    Traveler•Written July 2023

    We arrive in Santiago late evening on the 16th and leave on December 3rd. We are open to something that extends a day or two in Patagonia-maybe with a glacier visit and something that might highlight santiago or wine country at the end of the trip.
