I can't recommend Ecochile enough. We planned this trip about 40 days before departure and everything went so smoothly. Our itinerary included the Atacama Desert and Easter Island and they planned everything but our flights from the USA. The planning process was easy. Claudia was so flexible and offered suggestions for the itinerary. She was very responsive.
They provided an app for our trip which was so convenient. We were able to take the app offline and still view the itinerary at any time. This app also allowed for trip support at any time. They were so responsive to all of our needs throughout the trip.
Due to the hurricane in the U.S. I had some international flight issues which required a lot of rebooking (unfortunately 2x). While this delay had nothing to do with Ecochile, they were so responsive and rebooked by Chile flights, transfers and tours. This type of service was so helpful and above and beyond. I can't thank them enough for all of the help during a very frustrating time for me. They were so kind. Thank you Patricia!!
Since our trip involved Easter Island, we were required to have a PCR test at least 24 hours prior to arriving. The team at Ecochile arranged our test at our local hotel in Santiago (and arranged it around our arrival time which was 10:30pm). The process was so quick and easy and our results were emailed within 6 or so hours. It made for a seamless and easy entry into Easter Island.
In general, all of our tours, guides, destinations were amazing. We really enjoyed our trip to Chile and Easter Island. I would highly recommend Ecochile and their team to anyone looking to vacation in South America.

What a pleasure it was going across the world to visit Chile, knowing that the trip was so well-planned. Thanks to EcoChile.travel.
The planning, accommodation, flights, transfers and activities went so smoothly.
Communication was excellent, especially beforehand. Josefina and Patricia were punctual, checking-up on detail.
Once there, the EcoChile.travel App was the perfect reference.
Everything was so well organised.
My trip was solo within the Lake District and Chiloe Island, followed by a week in Southern Patagonia (Torres del Paine) with my niece.
EcoChile.travel supplied so much extra information and choices that one could check out beforehand - this was amazing.
Tips: try and read all the information given of what to do and more, so that you can change plans according to the weather.
If you do not speak Spanish, it is good to learn some with Duolingo.. often the Direct translation Apps can take quite a lot of unnecessary time (sometimes there is also no reception!)
Yes, EcoChile.travel met with all expectation and more!
Thank you so much!

Our trip that Ecochile planned to Patagonia and Antarctica was absolutely incredible!! It was truly amazing start to finish. The planning process was quite extensive as we wanted to fit as much as possible into a specific window and the team absolutely delivered!! One of the best things is that we squeezed in all the highlights and it ran so smoothly. All the transports, all the activities, everything. Just wonderful planning!
The only sad part is we wish we had another week or two to do more of what Patagonia and Antarctica have to offer. And at the same time, we feel we did so much!
The team was with us every step of the way getting us ready for the trip, scheduling one-off excursions, and being attentive to our travel preferences. And then once we were traveling, the team communicated through their app or WhatsApp throughout.
Highlights: Torres Del Paine (hike anywhere and be sure to stay at Patagonia Camp), El Chalten and Antarctica. But everything was spectacular.
It was a truly memorable experience. Thanks to to the whole team. Ecochile has an innate understanding of the region and how to plan the trip of a lifetime.

I travelled solo in mid Dec, 2021, arrived Santiago and Whatsapped Ecochile Travel.
Since I emailed Ecochil in Sept. 2020, I already felt that they would had good service. At that time, they suggested to do self-guided walking tour in downtown.
Christian replied my message in 20 minutes. I appreciated his good English that was uncommon during my experience to deal with local tour agencies.
I had nothing planned because of the uncertainty when the Chile mandatory PCR testing result would came out.
I inquired about Santiago local tours and Patagonia tours. I also expressed my concern on safety to walk around downtown and take public transit alone because I witnessed all the protests during that time.
Christian provided with me the frank safety advice. He also gave me suggestion how I might explore more options on Patagonia trip planning by providing me with local tour agencies websites. Then I could book direct with them and book my own accommodation. This meant that I did not need to go through Ecochile. He became my Santiago travel advisor when I asked him so many questions, e.g. taking bus to Puerto Varas.
Hi service was impressive when I read his replies, " I'll be happy to give you more advice, so feel free to contact me whenever you need". Indeed, I asked him question about calling uber if I only had data card. He gave resourceful information on getting local sim card and homologacion the phone. The was above and beyond!
I did not book any tour from Christian/Ecochile while I was at Santiago.
I will definitely recommend Ecochile if anyone wishes to have trip planning to travel Chile.

EchoChile helped us plan a trip to Argentina. We went to Buenos Aires, El Chalten, El Calafate, Mendoza, and finally back to Buenos Aires.
The representatives really listened to what we wanted to see during our trip, but also made suggestions to ensure we would have the best experience. We really valued their honest opinions regarding what we should do. Originally, we had thought to include Iguazu Falls, but because it is so far from Patagonia and Mendoza, it would have added a lot more travel time to our trip. They suggested seeing it on a separate trip later when we could include it with places that are closer to it.
We really enjoyed the hikes we took in El Chalten and El Calafate. EchoChile helped us book private guides who were great.
When we were due to fly back to Buenos Aires from Mendoza, we got caught up in a one-day strike, which shut down the airlines, so our flight was canceled. Ignacia, the EcoChile representative in Argentina, kept in contact with us the whole time and found two companies for us to choose from to drive us. She made sure that we arrived in Buenos Aires in time to catch our flight back to the US.
After we were back home, a representative called us to get our feedback on the trip. She asked us what we enjoyed the most, what we thought could be improved, and how we felt about the hotels, and for our feedback on the guides.
We are very happy with the service we received from EchoChile and look forward to working with them again in the future.

I highly recommend Ecochile.
They worked with me to set up a personalized version of their Chile Lake District tour.
My trip was exactly what I wanted it to be from airport transfers, to hotels, to guides try experience was perfect. And the guides they worked with were knowledgeable and entertaining.
The team (Patricia, Oxama, and Claudia) were all very helpful, nice, and professional.
I hope to plan another trip with them,
Thank you,

Ecochile Travel created a month in Patagonia for us and it could not have been any better.
Amazing service. Travel right now is stressful and there are a lot of details and concerns. Ecochile made them all go away. They checked every update, paperwork needed and current conditions. They even had COVID tasting come to our hotels. Immediate communications. We were able to just enjoy the trip without a single hassle. This was beyond any expectations.
The trip itself was divine. Every guide arranged was Ecotravel was fantastic. Intimate local knowledge. The hotels were excellent as well.
The locations were incredible. Kayaking. Trekking in Torres del Paine. Glacier hiking. Patagonia is unique place and we got to experience more than we could image.
We travel a lot and I give Ecochile Travel the absolute highest recommendation.

I used EcoChile to plan a 12-day trip in Chile. They were very easy to work with, accommodating, and put together an amazing itinerary based on our interests. Our trip ran flawlessly with all transfers and activities occurring as scheduled. A phone app was available for use that provided all details and confirmations of our trip in an easy to view manner even offline. EcoChile provided great recommendations on restaurants and things to do in the areas we visited. I couldn’t have been happier with the services provided by EcoChile and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Chile.

We had an amazing adventure in Patagonia Chile! We backpacked the O Trek which is 7 nights/8 days. For the second half of the trip we had a rental car and drove the Austral Road to Cerro Castillo, and small towns for kayaking. Ecochile (Christian, and Patricia Rosas) did a great job listening and helping us plan our experience. They arranged our in-Chile flights, transportation from airports, our campsites on the O Trek, rental car, and made sure our food needs (my husband and I are vegetarian) were met. We chose to use their tents and food, which was a hot breakfast, a packed lunch and dinner at each refugio campsite, which is helpful for packweight and also for getting to know fellow trekkers. We went toward the end of the tourist season, which in South America is March, and we loved that it was too crowded. The O trek is for an experienced backpacker, the elevation is not bad but the weather can be extreme and very windy. There is a shorter option called the W trek. We would not change a thing however, and loved the people, culture, and wild nature. My husband and I were among the oldest hiking, we are 60, but we were fit enough to handle the trail and travel.

I had been planning our trip for nearly a year (thanks, Covid). Throughout the planning process, EcoChile was responsive and accommodating to the many changes our itinerary went through.
A few days before the trip, we video conferenced with Christian to review our itinerary, learn how to use the (very helpful!) app, and answer our last minute questions.
We spent 12 days in the Lake District and Patagonia. In addition to the stunning beauty of the landscape, we got an authentic cultural experience. Our drivers and guides were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Christian and Patricia would answer our messages within half an hour, even at night. Our hotels were all clean, comfortable, and located in safe neighborhoods.
Everything went smoothly and greatly exceeded our expectations. We could not have asked for a better vacation and it was worth every penny. I hope to return to Chile in a few years and will definitely be traveling with EcoChile again!

We are staying in Santiago at the Hotel Plaza San Francisco, and we are going to go to Valparaiso on Dec 29. Could you drop us at the Hotel Boutique 17 in Valparaiso during the small group winery and Valparaiso day tour from Santiago? It would be great to do the tour and end up at our next location. Thank you.
