We had a really amazing time in Chile, everything went to plan, we were even luck with the weather in Torres del Paine (not a given down there). The trekking was wonderful and I am so glad we followed your recommendation for the lodge in the park. Waking up in the morning and seeing the "Cuernos" was just unforgettable. Despite the fantastic time we had in Patagonia, after much deliberation, we decided that the Atacama was the highlight - it was just out of this world. The hotel was first class the guide , the tours, the food, the whole thing was awesome - I never thought the desert could be so captivating. The only negative was the delayed flight on arrival, but thankfully the guide at the airport hung around for a couple of hours to be there when we finally got through customs. Thank you so much for all your hard work. We hope to be back next year (or later this year) to see Peru and maybe Easter Island. Warm regards, Jo D
