Armando and Mateo were two amazing hosts. They did everything to make us have a very, very good experience. His kindness and manner allowed a very pleasant trip. Two suggestions: move to chocolate tasting at the end so that shopping does not melt and advise that you should wear swimwear.
¡Chile es lo mejor! ✨🇨🇱
