My aunt and I went on a tour to Viña Del Mar & Valparaíso with Daniel and the driver Alejandro. They are friendly, funny and extremely patient. Not only do they do their jobs well done, but they are always giving pertinent tips on the cheapest market, where to eat and the better deals. Daniel not only takes us roaming through the two cities but also makes remarks about the smallest details, as well as historic and geographical context. He’s the full package, he even takes great pictures of all the tourists in group (in our case nicknamed the “mafia simpática” ????????????)! Congratulations on a job done with excellence, we can tell how much you do it with passion. I recommend the tour with these guys, it’s a great time guaranteed and p.s. they make extra stops to take advantage of the great landscape so we can take great pictures). I was simply enchanted!

The Rapa Nui National Park is not cheap as we pay 54,000 Chilean Peso (80US $) per person. You have no choice, because you come to Easter Island to admire the impressive Moai statues. Easter Island is special and I am glad I saw it
4. Tatio Geysers
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
The land of water and fire. The heat generated by the active volcanoes of the region warms the underground waters. In contrast with the freezing temperatures of the surface, generous amounts of water vapor are produced. The result is a true spectacle of nature. A geothermical field with hundreds of geysers whose eruption throws bolling water and vapor to about 10 meters high. We arrive to the region before sun rise, reason why the temperatures could reach -20ºC, besides the fact that we will be at over 4.000 meters above sea level. That is why we recommend a night of full rest the day before and very warm clothes.

Worst tour I ever joined around the world. The agency did not provide English tour at all. We were asked to arrive at the agency at 15:30 and wait for 50 minutes until someone else picked us up somewhere else. It would have been fine if the tour is in English. Nonetheless, the tour guide is actually bilingual during which 70% of his time was spent in Spanish and we get less information in English than the others in Spanish. Besides, the guide is kind of rude and he even blamed on clients which did not really violate the rules (to protect his own job). BTW, We are lucky that we have to change our schedule due to inclement weather such that we won’t attend the Iris valley with this agency again. They got our dollars yesterday but refuse to refund the money in dollars. Well... cannot believe they exchange the money immediately. Overall, it cheats in many ways.
