Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our family spent 10 months planning for our once-in-a-lifetime trip. Our experience was 10 out of 10. We had several flights, as well as excursions with drivers and guides, over 18 days. With the exception of one missed communication on pick-up and drop-off, there were no glitches. I can’t say enough great things about the Zicasso tour operator with whom I worked. He listened to all of the ideas about excursions and places my family wanted to see, and put together an itinerary that blew us away. Our hotel stays were top-notch and he put together incredible private tours.

Everywhere we went, we had incredible guides with delightful personalities. They were engaging and very knowledgeable. The communication was very easy and we always had quick responses to any questions. I would highly recommend our travel agent for excursions in Chile and Argentina.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

We were celebrating my 60th birthday, and to have my entire family together was more than I could dream of.

Hot-air ballooning over the Atacama Desert and being up close to geysers, the salt flats, and the Valley of the Moon was spectacular. Our family couldn’t believe the incredible hikes in Torres del Paine, the French Valley, and the incredible Fitz Roy Massif. We loved our excursion at the Perito Moreno Glacier, where we ice trekked. We had so many highlights.

The day we spent at the estancia in Calafate was a beautiful experience. Our family loved riding horses. Seeing the wild herds of horses running, our close encounters with foxes and a puma, and sightings of several Andean condors, as well as getting close to the guanacos and vicuña, was also very special.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I think we would’ve had one or two down days. There is a lot of travel involved in seeing the spectacular places within Chile and Argentina, and we were tired from traveling. We didn’t want to miss a thing, but allowing for a day or two of rest would’ve been helpful.
