Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We had a lovely trip to Chile and Argentina. Thank you. Everything went smoothly and we learned so much about the countries we visited, as well as having a lot of fun.

Our tour operator and his team's restaurant recommendations were all good and we especially enjoyed the thoughtful perspectives on Chile and the Maipo Valley. Lago Grey was the right fit for us, a recommendation Zicasso’s travel agency made. BA was lovely, with everything in bloom. All our guides were very informative.

Our travel team arranged the daytime use of a hotel in BA on our last day. We were able to change out of our warm-weather clothes for our morning tour in BA into something more appropriate for the plane trip and winter weather back home. We appreciated his responsiveness to this last-minute request for a change in our plans.

Thanks again to our Zicasso travel partner for his help and professionalism. It was much appreciated.

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

Torres del Paine was amazing and one of our Chilean guides took us to a restaurant in the Maipo Valley that specializes in Chilean home cooking. It was fantastic and we ate things we never would have eaten if handed the menu. One entree was a long, slow braise of beef ribs with vegetables and the other was a chicken stew baked with a corn pudding top. The dessert was a whole peach poached in a light syrup in which wheat berries had been plumped. Delicious.

It was great to talk to knowledgeable guides who were also willing to share their perspectives on where their country had been and where it was heading.

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

We wish we had gone to Punta Arenas and seen some of the Chilean fjords, but we didn't have time. It would have been fun to see the lake district as well, but again, not enough time.

We didn't think about the fact that there would be an almost full moon in the Atacama Desert when we were there. I wish we had. The night we went stargazing the moon rose late, so we did get to see some stars.
