Luxury Chile Travel Review: Santiago, San Pedro de Atacama, Torres del Paine, Glacier Cruise, Easter Island,Flamingo Reserve...

We really enjoyed the stunning views, pristine lakes, glaciers in Torres del Paine National Park . We selected 2 3 1/2 to 5 hours outstanding excursions a day and one full day excursion that included glacier cruise (extra $) with a small group and a excellent knowledgeable guide. Tierra Patagonia is one of the most amazing places we ever stayed. It is an architectural achievement in every detail and is in perfect harmony with the terrain . The floor to ceiling windows enabled us to wake up to majestic views go to bed looking starry night. The geological wonders of surreal San Pedro de Atacama was another highlight of our vacation. Excursions took us to Salt Mt Range, Death Valley ,Rainbow Valley , Flamingo Reserve, Observatory, Petroglyphs, and Geysers at 14,190 feet. At the geysers we had a picnic breakfast and had our hot chocolate heated in one of the geysers. They brought all the tables,chairs,china and food and beverages. Tierra Atacama staff ,guides ,facility , rooms, food, drinks,were all excellent. Really enjoyed our outside shower(also had inside) and our secluded outside star gazing pad .Beautiful sunsets from almost anywhere! The open kitchen enabled us to watch the Chef's prepare the meals. You could even get a recipe Yes the 3rd highlight of our trip was Easter Island . The Explora Rapa Nui was outstanding facility built of local stones and wood. All rooms ocean view and very quiet. Secluded swimming pool. The open kitchen enabled us to watch the chefs. They offered a wide variety of explorations to get to know the ancient culture, geography of the island , and of course the famous moai sculptures and other archaeological sites. We went to recommended sites for best sunrise and sunset. One exploration that we choose was the boat ride and snorkeling. They provided the wetsuits and equipment. You should see Easter Island from air, water, and on the land. The 3 very different locations made for an exciting, education, and wonderful adventure .
