Did this trip in February. To sum it up it consists of 11 hours in a minivan to visit three churches in Chiloe, none of them is interesting unless you are an academic interested in the technical details of wooden church building in the mid 19th century. However good the guides are (and our guide was excellent) this piece of Chile is not worth visiting. The drive to Castro in Chiloe island comprises a 70km motorway run to a ferry and then more than two hours driving along a scruffy, semi industrialised road with no redeeming features to Castro. On arrival the only logical question is "why bother". There are so many beautiful places in Chile I would suggest that people give this excursion a swerve and prevent the total waste of a day of their lives.

What a perfect tour! It was definitely a highlight. The boat ride on Lake Todos Los Santos was spectacular, as were the Petrohue Rapids....and everything in Vicente Perez Rosales National Park. You see the Osorno Volcano from many different vantage points. Loved every part of this tour.

Maria without doubt one of the best guides in Patagonia. The tour was fantastic, we get to different ecosystems in one day while learning about nature and culture of Chile. She guide was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and we enjoy a fantastic day. Maria has a great personality and very motivated. We truly enjoyed our hiking tour and we hope to have another adventure in Chile soon with Patagonia Trails.

This hike is entirely worth the steep four hour climb to the summit. We were rewarded with a gorgeous view of the valley and the rare opportunity to see five condors! The guide Manuel was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend!!

Organising the Osorno climb was something I put away for over 2 months since I could not make up my mind. I consider myself as an experienced trekker, also on snow, but I’ve got almost no climbing experiences and just a few with walking on ropes or crampons. By the time I finally arrived in Puerto Varas, I thought it was too late. But when I saw it was still offered on booking platforms, I contaced Andes Sur and received an immediate positive feedback. The organisation was quickly done, thanks to George‘s super dedication to offer an amazing service & experience! The climb itself was getting thougher & steeper after every snowy meter and I was many times questioning myself why I had to do this. However, once we finally reached the top, I forgot it all while simply enjoying the views and the feeling of having gone over my physical and mental limits once again. I would like to thank George for the great last-minute organisation and taxi services and moreover Diego, the guide, for all the patience and the great security measures. Diego was highly attentive at all times, checking everything very seriously and he was super cautious while never loosing his good humour and positive attitude. Thank you both so much for making the best day of a 7-weeks trip around Chile & Patagonia possible!

When I arrived in Santiago, I contacted the local tour operator because I was unable to do the tour on the day it was planned. I asked if it could be taken at a different time and they were able to accommodate. They were very nice but I believe I ended up with the basic tour. We were 6 in the van for the transfer but the small-group tour of the winery was with 22 other people. We did not get the cheese or the premium wine. We only got 3 tastings of "ordinary" wine. Our driver's english was quite basic but the guide at Concha y Toro was excellent. It was still a nice afternoon but not what I was expecting and, as I did not have the details of my purchased tour with me, I was unable to ask for anything more.

Explore Chiloé with a historian who has spent time around the wood-burning stove on long winter nights gathering stories. As you make your way along the coast, you'll hear how fiction is just as believable as fact. As with a beautiful denizen of the sea who blesses fishermen with a catch or a zombie ship out at sea leading people to the golden gates of an eternal city, you'll definitely want to dig deeper into the lore. Once you've downloaded the tour, you can head to the first point of the tour. Don't worry if there is WiFi or not, because the audio tour works regardless with your phone's GPS signal. Just put your phone in your pocket, forget about it, and let the audio guide you. The tour gives you directions and plays at exactly the right time and place. Take a stroll around the main part of town. The walk takes about half an hour, but you can stop at any point along the way.
