What our customers say... |
|
"... we wanted a really special trip and it really was...we had a wonderful time, thanks for all your input and planning." |
|
|
...it was a perfect honeymoon, not just for the places we visited but also the little touches, like the champagne and chocolates in the room when we arrived...we fell in love with Patagonia and could have spent a lot more time there. The big surprise was the Atacama. The hotel was wonderful and the guides lovely, but it was all the things to do there that we hadn't expected - again we could have stayed much longer." |

|
|
"...the transfers and connections went like clockwork which we were actually surprised at after the flight!...absolutely loved Argentina...the trip and all the fascinating places certainly beats a beach holiday hands down (which was the other option we considered). Thanks for a wonderful trip." |

Starting with a couple of days at the charming Casa Real Hotel on the Santa Rita vineyard, the itinerary goes on to three of the most romantic places in Chile: Magical Easter Island, the charming and beautiful lake district and rugged, spectacular Patagonia. See the breathtaking Torres del Paine (and walk to the "torres" if you are active); ride, walk and kayak in the lake district in the shadow of the perfect cone of the Osorno volcano - or even climb it! Ponder the giant stone heads on Easter Island. This honeymoon has lots of opportunity for outdoor adventure, amazing scenery and enough time to relax and enjoy the privileged locations.
Accommodation is in luxury lodges, where, on a daily basis, you can choose the excursions that most appeal to you. Excursions include walking, horse riding, kayaking and mountain biking (climbing on request). Average group size for excursions is 8 people.

Patagonian fiords, Spa & Atacama -11 days |
One end of Chile to the other, from the driest desert in the world to the cold rain forests of northern Patagonia. It is hard to imagine a place better for a special occasion than the Puyuhuapi spa in Patagonia. Perched on the shore of a fiord, surrounded in dense green forest and only accessible by boat. Natural hot spring water flows from the ground filling the outdoor pools on the shore, where you can soak in the spring water and contemplate the surrounding natural beauty. The lodge has a whole range of spa treatments ideal for relaxation and pampering. If you are feeling active there are well marked walking trails in the ancient forests of the Queulat national park that borders the lodge. One of the trails leads to the spectacular hanging glacier. You can also take kayaks out on to the water directly from the lodge pier to explore the shore line. After the depths of Patagonia, the dazzling light of the Atacama desert is the most dramatic contrast. The Atacama is the most amazing natural phenomenon, the driest place on earth, salt flats, jagged red mountains, twisted wind-carved rocks and smoking volcanoes. Whether hiking, horse riding or biking, exploring this place is unforgettable and like being on another planet.
This magical itinerary makes a perfect honeymoons - a good mix of relaxation, adventure and stunning scenery.
Accommodation is in the best luxury lodges. It includes full board and daily excursions in the Atacama and a full day trip by catamaran to the San Rafael glacier in Patagonia. Excursions include walking, horse riding, kayaking and mountain biking (climbing on request). All ground transport services are private and with an English-speaking driver or guide. |
