5.00A fantastic experience! An unparalleled program in Santiago, with an excellent guide (Juan) and a first-rate driver (Sebastián). We were taught the history of the villages we visited and much about the local flora and fauna, Humboldt penguins, horseback riding on the beach, a beach break and, finally, a lovely little gift! Thank you so much! I highly recommend this amazing tour; you will not regret it!

5.00We had an amazing time! Our guide, Paul, and driver, Sebastian, were really sweet and attentive. We felt very comfortable the whole time even when sailing in open waters and horseback riding on ocean cliffside. The views were spectacular! A truly unique way to experience the Chilean coast!!

5.00It was too rich, zapallar per se is a beautiful beach and it was there that we took the boat to first see the penguins and what a beautiful thing to be able to see them in their habitation, then came the ride and I felt too much in a film for all the flowers that you see along the way and finish with a super fresh and delicious lunch watching the sea gave the closure to a perfect day! Thank you so much!

5.00Excellent experience, Don Victor (chauffeur) and Alexis (guide) a 10. We were guided and told stories of the area. This for me makes the experience more complete and know the localities better. We saw chungungo, penguins, and other birds, local tree info and relevant stories from the area. In my case I went alone. I recommend it.
