Chile has won a place in our hearts
Mr and Mrs Holbova – Vrolijks
Before our trip to Chile, we’d travelled extensively in Europe and Africa. Africa in particular had stolen our hearts, but when KLM started offering direct flights to Santiago in Chile and we were also able to take four weeks off, we decided to try something different. We bought a ticket to Santiago straight away. That was that – now we just needed someone to help us make the most of those four weeks.
We ended up choosing Sapa Pana Travel, and they turned out to be able to offer exactly what we were looking for: a trip combining plenty of nature with unique hotels. We had a whole list of things we wanted to see and do, and Sapa Pana Travel mapped out a brilliant itinerary. Over the four weeks, we were able to make the most of the Atacama Desert, Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Cape Horn, Easter Island and the Chilean wine region. The trip was fantastic and organised down to the last detail. Absolutely everything was spot on: the itinerary, the accommodation, and we thoroughly enjoyed the extraordinary natural surroundings. We hadn’t expected it beforehand, but Chile really touched our hearts.

Patagonia, in particular, was pure bliss. The colours of the landscape were so incredibly beautiful. We marvelled at the melting snow in the spring sunshine, the anthracite-grey mountain peaks, the spring flowers in vibrant colours and the unreal aquamarine-blue rivers and lakes. Perhaps most astonishing of all was the hotel in the desolate Patagonian landscape, which in the early 1900s had served as a cold store for mutton.
And we haven’t even mentioned all the other places yet. The icing on the cake was definitely Easter Island, where we discovered the Moai and Polynesian culture. We also enjoyed the rugged Cape Horn, the vineyards in early spring and the snow-capped Andes. Thanks to these wonderful experiences, Chile now has a special place in our hearts too.

Sapa Pana Travel’s service didn’t stop at the end of the trip. Unfortunately, we’d encountered some problems at one of the accommodation providers whilst we were away. Of course, these things can happen, but we were very pleased that Sapa Pana Travel took this seriously and that they resolved the matter to our complete satisfaction after our trip.
We absolutely loved our trip to Chile and we’ll definitely be returning to South America in the future with the help of Sapa Pana Travel. Thank you so much for this ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ experience!
