Argentina, Chile Wine Tour
Daniela and Felipe at Latin Discoveries created our 2 week+ boy's (actually all 8 of us are over 65) trip tour across South America thru Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile from the moment we arrived in Buenos Aires to our departure from Santiago, Chile.  Although I spoke no Spanish and had very little knowledge of the three countries, thru emails, texts, and video calls, Daniela, who planned the Argentina and Uruguay part of the trip and was my main contact at Latin Discoveries and Felipe, who planned the Chilean part, very clearly communicated various ideas of places to go, tours to take, what areas and hotels to stay in, wineries to visit, and restaurants to dine at.  We would then look at their ideas through the internet, then comment back to them, and after a few iterations we together came up with a final itinerary.  Through this process, they both were tremendously patient and very helpful. This itinerary included all the necessary planning and coordination for the eight of us driving ourselves in one large van, completely across Argentina with stops in Cordoba and Mendoza.  While in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Mendoza, and Santiago, they arraigned the various private tours with a safe driver and English speaking tour guide for each city.  All of the guides were absolutely great, very knowledgeable and lots of fun to be with.  We were able to ask questions and converse with the guides so not only did we learn historical facts on the tours, but they helped us understand the current and past culture.  So, a big shout out to Hernan, Beatriz, Soledad, and Benjamin.  It’s fair to say that with each tour, we came away feeling that it was better than what we expected. We were able to visit six wineries during the trip from small family owned wineries to Concha y Toro, one of the largest wineries in the world.  One other thing that worked so well for us, is that we were able to make changes “on the fly” as the need and desire arose with each tour guide emphasizing that they were there to make the trip as great as possible for us. We thought the cost of the tour, just under $5000 per person, to be very reasonable which included everything except our air fare to and from, our drinks and meals, tips to the drivers and tour guides, and personal purchases like souvenirs. A few things to keep in mind are that the hotel rooms in South America are much smaller than we were used to…...a bit too tight for us since we were staying two-to-a-room.  Also, we found that Latin Discoveries didn’t seem to have as big of an internet presence as we expected, making us initially uncertain until we started planning the trip, and now, would strongly recommend them.

Best of Brazil Tour
In general, our group was happy with the planning and performance by the travel agency and local guides. However, we had an issue with the hotel in Rio: room had a strong mold odor and every day we will find a huge puddle of water by the entrance door of room due to a broken pipe inside wall. Every day we will bring this issue up to front desk and agency without any solution. We had to put up with this problem throughout our stay which was pretty uncomfortable.

Galapagos Islands Land Tour - 5 DAYS
We have used Latin Discoveries twice. Once in december 2023 for a trip to Patagonia and the second time in February 2026 for a trip to Galapagos! We loved both trips very much and the orginization, advice, service were perfect both times. We came back to Latin Discoveries the second time, because we loved it the first time. And we are very happy that we did! We will certainly use them for any other trip to Latin America.

Chile, Atacama Adventure Tour
We are all back home and, while at the airport, together shared that we each so enjoyed our vacation adventure. It was made especially comfortable by having drivers and greeters at each transition. Our guides were great!  Thank you for curating this trip and for your responsiveness to our whatsapp’s. Your accessibility provided calm in knowing any hiccup would be only that.  A few comments for improvements for future Travelers that I could not find space for on the survey.  After flying from Santiago to Calama and then driven to our hotel we got there around noon or so, but we’re unable to check in because check-in time was 3. We had a 4 o’clock excursion scheduled so we were not able to shower and nap sufficiently before the excursion. So it might have been better to pay for an extra night there.  With the excursions it would’ve been helpful to have on the itinerary the length of time of the excursion, what to wear, bring etc and a contact number for the vendor providing services.  As you know we became concerned when we didnt have contact info for them to confirm pickup, clothes ideas etc.  Also, the astronomical tour was canceled twice (bummer) because of weather, so it would have been better to schedule that early in our stay to have more chances to rebook with the chance of seeing into the universe.  The ‘credit notes’ referenced weren’t attached to your email. Thank you for acting quickly on the astronomical tour refund. We look forward to seeing the credit on our credit cards.  We certainly will recommend Latin Discoveries to friends considering South America for travel.  Thank you Felipe.
