I did not realise when I booked the tour that the tour operator is a destination management company - not a fully guided tour operator. Basically, you get yourself to the three places and the company arranges tours for you on different days. As a solo senior woman traveller, this was not the best choice for me although the contact, Ale, was great and everything was well organised. The company also seemed to have a good reputation and local guides often went the extra mile. The issue was that there were basically tours everyday and some days 2 on one day. This was too much for me as I like to have breaks and wonder around on my own. Also all the tours used minivans and these were usually full up. It was very uncomfortable in these vans in such circumstances - especially if you were in the back part of the van and the seat had obstructions on the floor and you had to sit sideways for hours on end. I ended up having to cancel at least three daily tours to recover. I note that the tours in Atacama were a bit rough and ready with guides basically giving up on English translations as the majority of the passengers spoke Spanish, though some said they would describe things later to me which they did. Having said all that, the scenery and experience was incredible with each place offering something different - from bustling Santiago, to the colourful graffitied houses on the hills of Valparaiso, to the salt lagoons and dunes of the Atacama desert and lastly to the forests and mountain lakes of Puerto Varas.Show more
