Our Travelers Testimonials
Mar 24, 2009 Patricio Shalom, I came back home couple of days ago from my trip to S. America. I want to thank you again for helping us with Rio Serrano hotel in TdP. The hotel was great and TdP - marvellous. Hillel Arkin ............................................................ Mar 20, 2009 Dear Patricio, We returned to Australia last week and would like to say, together with the Chamberlains who were travelling with my husband and I, thank you for all your organisation regarding our trip from Puerto Varas through to Bariloche. We enjoyed the 2 day and 1 night trip very much. Everything went very smoothly allowing us to enjoy the spectacular scenery which was breathtaking in so many different ways. Should we have any friends travelling to South America who are in need of help with tour arrangements I will be very happy to refer them to you and know that you will look after them very well. Thank you again, Mariapola Macovaz ............................................................ Mar 02, 2009 Dear Patricio, our trip to Tierra del Fuego/Patagonia was excellent. Everything was arranged perfectly. Cruise: Our cabin was well equipped and located next to the reception which was very advantageous. The program on board and all excursions were well prepared and arranged. We had sunny days and calm sea condition. Accommodation: All Hotels in Ushuaia, Puerto Natales and Punta Arenas were excellent located. Trip to Torres del Paine: Well arranged and clear view to the mountains. Transfers: perfectly arranged, everything was fine. We want to thank you again for your great help in arranging the package that totally satisfied our wishes. We will keep these wonderful days in Chile in our minds. Maybe we will visit Chile again; anyway we will recommend Chile to our friends. Best regards, Robert Cvikl, Ulrike Nageler ............................................................ Dec 30, 2008 It was great doing business with you. I think you are a very fast and good agent. I will travel more so hopefully we ´meet´again next year. Cheers, Marieke ............................................................ Dec 06, 2007 Hi Anibal, Please see the attached file with a short letter from my friend. I must say your service and assistance were real special. I appreciate! All the best, Tsipi Aloni ............................................................ Dec 06, 2007 I'd like to thank Gotolatin and especially Anibal, for the beautiful trip they arranged for me in south Chile and the lake district of Chile and Argentina. The company's agents were waiting for me at every place I arrived according to the plan we had. I had marvelous tours. All that made my trip successful and satisfying. I'll be happy to use your efficient, excellent services again in the future. Thanks Meir Shpaizer ............................................................ Nov 24, 2007 Bonjour Monsieur, De retour dans notre pays apres 3 semaines au chili, je veux vous remercier pour le tres bon travail que vous nous avez fourni. Les hotels tres bon. Et votre pays magnifique. Sauf le petit incident a l hotel radisson a iquique qui finalement c est bien terminé. Si nous retournons au Chili nous ne manquerons pas de faire appel a vos services. Merci et salutations. Gerard Pinaton ............................................................ Nov 24, 2007 Hola Anibal, sorry to have missed you the other day. Hope you are feeling better. Just wanted to let you know that the 4 *viejas* thoroughly enjoyed this well organized trip. It was a super experience, everything worked out perfectly, the transfers, the accomodation, the tours, the hikes etc. We were so lucky, even the sun was shining at times, we lived a little snow, it was cold, then warm, horribly windy but.... thats Patagonia, right!!! It was just great ! Thanks to you and your colleagues who planned so well and thought of all the details. Watch out, we will be back soon!!! Regards n have a nice weekend Marianne ............................................................ Aug 14, 2007 Anibal, We have began the tour and everything to date has been fantastic. Far better than we could have hoped for. Thank you so very much for organising this trip. One thing we have thought of doing is a helicopter ride over the Iguasa Falls. I hear they are around $70 US per person? Would we have time to do this? Regards, Marianne ............................................................ Jun 18, 2007 Alfonso/Hector/Thelma, It wanted to thank you for all you attentions in relation to the tours....you were really amazing and I was enchanted by everything you recommended me. Marialex Pareja ............................................................ Jun 06, 2007 Good Mornig , Sr Gatica: The trip has been interesting, pleasant and instructive, as much in the north as in the south. Everything worked out as it was anticipated, without incidences. And the wonderful and recommendable hotels, each one with its particular details. Thank you very much by you amiability and the good organization of the trip. Best regards, Mercedes Sarró ............................................................ Jun 02, 2007 How are you doing Hector? The dream is over. We are already returning home, with an obviously positive balance. The trip was really beautiful, it fulfilled beyond my expectations. I am thankful to you, once again, thanks for helping us to fulfill our vacations, I wanted  until the last minute, to know you in person and to thank the person who helped us personally, but it was not possible, I hope that there will be another opportunity. The truth is that we did not have time for anything, everything was organized and timed. According to us, the hour to approach the Navimag, was to 16:00, but we arrived like a 13:30 - (from the time we disembarked and were able to take something that took us downtown) and luckyly we decided to go to drop off the suitcases to Navimag, for then give a trip around the city and to eat something for lunch, but oh! surprise, we should have been boarding by 14:00, meaning that we almost lost the trip. That was another mistake, it is necessary to find the means of transporting the tourists to the places where they go, like for example,  in Puerto Natales, at the boat was somebody who took us to the Hotel, although it was not more the 200 mts. Away, but the that was good. The Hotels are very good, being Explora the best and the hotel Costa Australis better than the Cabo de Hornos- in the this last one the attention was a little more relaxed that in the previous one, the service was kina of tired or in a bad mood, of course that is was not bad at all, but making a comparison, we liked the Costa Australis more. Regarding the terrestrial excursions, we saw and we compared some data and we remained with taxi some drivers, super good people, likeable, experts about many places and CHEAPER, so in Puerto Natales and Punta Arenas we always rid with them. They  were always to our disposition, reason why we got to know much more than if we had gone in tour. In Punta Arenas we crossed the Strait of Magallanes and arrived at Porvenir, that was not contemplated in our plans, but we had a very good time. Another thing that we found excessively expensive, was the boat, the food is bad and the cleanliness also. But we were happy, we had a lot of rain  but we spend it in the control room, when going though the De Penas Gulf I got dizzy, the trip lasted 12 hrs., but everything was taken with the idea that we were going to have a good time. As you see Hector, the most positive thing of the trip was the sun that accompanied us at every moment, excepting the trips through  the channels. Then on, if it rained, was at night, in Torres del Paine, we were able to see the towers in all its splendor, without a cloud, wonderful and every day there, in Natales and Punta Arenas, the sun was our glad companion. I referred your name to several relatives who have asked us how we made the contact with you, so if people contact you, you will know how the contact was made. Sharpen a little the details I referred to, the commentaries are not done with bad intention, on the contrary, I am the best ambassador of my country and the country in which I formed my family, reason why I hope that every day each detail is better. Best regards, Nadia and Luis Vivanco ............................................................ Jun 01, 2007 My intention was to send you an email soon after returning to New York but my Internet connection had been suspended until today. It meant to tell you how much I liked my trip through South America. It has been a very long but also very exciting trip and with a very interesting itinerary. I know that this would not had been possible without your help. Thanks for your patience with us and you untiring efforts to obtain for us the cruise by the Galápagos Islands. We ate very well in Explorer II and, thanks for the long, long walks on the volcanic earth, I returned home without gaining to much weight!  The only problem that we had in the trip was been the fact that Juan could not tolerate the elevation in Peru and Ecuador. He could not sleep at night. In Cuzco and Quito was the worse-- by this we decided to be brief in our stay in Quito. Instead of having left May 31st, we decided to return to NY the 29th. Since our return Juan  has spent more than 48 hours sleeping, which improved its humor remarkably. Again I want to express my gratefulness by everything that you did to assure that our trip was as most pleasant as possible and I wish you all the best. Sonya ............................................................ Apr 30, 2007 Hola Patricio, The trip to Chile was splendid. You live in a wonderful country and one of which you can be truly proud! We visited Viña del Mar, Valparaiso, Reñaca, ConCon, Santiago and two famous vineyards. We could not have had a better time. The lodging was excellent in Viña,the Best Western is better that in the Altocastello in Santiago. I thank you so much, my next trip to Argentina I will organize it with Gotolatin again and of course I hope to count again on your valuable aid. Best regards, Patrizia Nicosia ............................................................ Apr 06, 2007 Hello Annibal, We just got home after a 15 hour flight from Santiago. I just want to let you know every thing went well. We were picked up from Valpariaso on time. Our guide Jose was wonderful and he speaks very good English. We had a good tour of Valparaiso and Viña Del Mar. Jose took us to a delicious sea food lunch on the ocean front in Puerto Varas. We invited both the driver and Jose for lunch and we all had a great time. The hotel in Santiago was very comfortable. All went well with the exception that when we asked the hotel to confirm our pick up time to the airport, there were no answer to all the phone lines you provided on our voucher. So we thought there will be no pick up and ask the hotel to call a taxi for us. Then the driver showed up at 4 pm and told us that all phone number were changed. Well, a little excitement for the last leg of our long journey. Perhaps next time you will indicate the pick up time from the hotel(just a feed back). Overall, I am very pleased with the services you provided and would recommend your service to other people. Best regards and wishing you continue success in your new office. Mei ............................................................ Apr 04, 2007 Thanks, Everything worked out very good. The hotel in Santiago was very good and cheap thanks to you. lf I am going to Chile once more I will definitely use you for the hotel booking. Happy Eastern, Nils ............................................................ Feb 16, 2007 Dear Hector, Greetings from Lithuania! We are back home. Thank You For Organizing a wonderfull trip.Hotels were good, the guides excellent. Maybe next year I'll arrive with another group. Yours, Adolfas ............................................................ Feb 15, 2007 Dear Hector, How are you going? We are very happy working with you! Thank you for very good organization! All tourists and our guide is very happy after your organized trip. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! Best regards, Andrius ............................................................ Jan 27, 2007 Dear Anibal, Many thanks for your E-Mail re. bus to Mendoza. I dont know where you got the information that the bus had been rescheduled for 13.00 hrs but it was still 13.40 hrs. However the bus was late arriving and then had a puncture and finally left 1 and half hours late. The trip was fantastic - I dont know whether you chose the seats on the right - hand side of the bus but this was the best side - if you did thanks. Now that the Andean package is finished I would like to express the thanks of us all for the excellent arrangements made on our behalf. Everything really worked well. I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anybody else contemplating a holiday in South America. One again our sincere thanks Ken Budd ............................................................ Jan 18, 2007 Dear Hector, Thank you so much for EVERYTHING you did, from beginning to end, to make our recent holiday in Chile and Argentina such a wonderful experience. We had a marvelous time, in all the locations. The Skorpius II cruise was really spectacular and very enjoyable. The hotels we stayed in were all excellent – with the possible exception of the Natura in Puella – just the restaurant service. The only problem we had was during the cruce de los lagos when, as you know, one of our suitcases was badly damaged. My wife Veronica contacted you about this when we were in Bariloche, and we are grateful for your intervention. When we first enquired at the company office in Bariloche we were told that it was “not their problem”, but that as a ‘favor’ they would try to do something for us although this repair would not be ready before we planned to leave. Later in the day, we were contacted and asked to give a time when we could go to a shop, accompanied by the company man (who had really been quite rude to us earlier in the day) to buy a NEW suitcase!! We did this, and we got a good quality suitcase, which really did compensate for the morning we lost. Thank you again for all your help at every stage of planning, organizing and taking our holiday of a lifetime. We are both very grateful. William & Veronica Edmundson. ............................................................ Dec 31, 2006 Hector, we are back in London after a wonderful trip to Chile. All the arrangements you made for us worked very well... all the flights, the Navimag and car hire all went very smoothly. Thank you for helping us and making our journey so successful Regards, Duncan & Kate ............................................................ Nov 27, 2006 Taking care of your request I explain to you the result of the services. Transfer: Punctual. When realized we were a family, they got a van to fit us all.. Which was welcome by all (the company saved taxis, and we traveled together roundtrip. It is used that the company sends a fax confirming the returning transfer. I waited for that fax until the 13 hrs of Saturday. The fax did not arrive, so by indications the of the Hotel receptionist I called Mrs. Magda to make sure the transfer was coming. Perhaps it is worth the trouble to indicate Mrs. Magda that confirmation should get to the passengers 48hrs in advance, so that the passenger feels calm with that service (in Mexico I almost  lose the return airplane because I trusted a transfer that never arrived; obviously I gained experience and had a bad time). Hotel: Excellent location. Two short blocks from the beach, they provide parasol, resting places and beach towel One block from the most chic street of all Rio (HStern, MontBlanc, Luis Buiton, Cartier, etc....) Three short blocks from Laguna de Freitas and of the park Gardens of Alha. Like alternative strolls to the beach.  2 supermarkets in front of it. Stores, Restaurants, toy stores, coffee shop and pubs, many in the surroundings of two to three blocks, and of all prices. Hotel attention: warm and opportune. Cleanness: Good. Breakfast: Buffet type, excellent, from 6 A.M.. As we left at 6 A.M. they allowed ourselves to advance the service, although more limited, at 5:30 A.M. (a service that not always is made, could have been because we were a big group with two babies) Associated Restaurant with Buffet service at lunch time and food from a menu letter and a calm pub at night. Rooms with TV cable and Frigo-Bar and air conditioned: approximated size 3.5m x 4 ms which is more than the standard. A King bed fits perfectly plus a cradle. It has remodeled floors (we were not in these last ones. They have problem only with old air conditioned system that is very loud in relation to new existing ones). Windows with double system glass (keeps the outside noises of the street out). Public transportation: Buses to Copacabana, downtown, Pan de Azucar, Corcovado, etc, right outside of the hotel (bus stop about 30 to 50 ms). Buses of return to indicated points and in the direction of Leblon, Bar of Tijuca, etc, a block from the hotel. Area Security: Very safe. What we wanted was completely fulfilled. That being our perception, it can be that more demanding passengers than ourselves  do not feel the same way. We would return to the same Hotel because of the diverse “ Extra" that it has. Luis Ernesto Pérez Andraca ............................................................ Nov 13, 2006 Hector, Good afternoon! It wanted to thank you for the tour to Sewell, they took care of them very well and as you commented on Friday, they entered the mine anyway so that was spectacular. Best regards, Margarita Chacón M. ............................................................ It was a wonderful trip, I showed how beautiful our country is to my Spanish husband; he was fascinated, wanting to return, thank you very much for showing our pretty south, receive a big hug on behalf of a nostalgic ¡VIVA CHILE! Cristina de Valdearc ............................................................ Hi Anibal, You helped organize our 'Cruce de Lagos' trip. I just wanted to let you know that all went extremely well. The lakes crossing was beautiful and the weather was great. Lots of snow but clear blue skies on the journey so we saw the unforgettable sight of the Osorno volcano from top to bottom, the Andes, lots of wildlife,even a condor. Chile was so beautiful in many different ways. Thank -you very much for your help. Best wishes from the northern hemisphere Pauline Kay ............................................................ Dear Anibal, As this great cruise draws to a close, I wanted to tell you how great you are and how great the transfer you arranged for us from Santiago to Valparaiso was.  We intend to write to you anytime we need a transfer in South America and tell our travel agent and friend, Zoe to use your services for other folks who need transfer. I know how busy you are but I do consider you a friend so I hope you won't mind if I write to you every one since a while...just to stay in touch... Of all the countries on this cruise, we like Chile the very best....We loved Viña del Mar and were only sorry we did not stay longer.  We will next time...The other two ports in Chile were better the ports in Peru and Ecuador...the people are happier and have more money. Thanks again.  Will write soon.  Love,  Mary ............................................................ Anibal, We are home safe and sound and just wanted you to know that you did a great job with our flights and arrangements ...Everything worked perfectly.  Thank you for your help - I  hope I have the opportunity to use your company again. Thanks,
Shirley Zielinski.
Miss Ximena Díaz: With this letter I want you to know how thankful I am for all the attention received from you and the representatives at Buenos Aires on my recent trip to this city. We hear little about the good things and lots about the bad. I am very thankful that the entire trip, hotel and organization were great.
Nora Fullana Macke.
We returned at Easter from our round-the-world trip. You had made the arrangements for us to travel through Chile and on the Magallanes ferry (It was actually the Puerto Eden, because of an accident to the Magallanes). We would like to thank you. The arrangements worked very well. Our hotels were good and the transfers from the hotel to the ferry were very easy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Chile. It is a very beautiful country and we hope to return some day, so we might be in touch with you again.
Rosemary, Mike and Alasdair Cubitt.
Dear Marta Again, I appreciate all your arrangements for my tickets and lodging in Iquique. The return trip to Santiago went really well, the flight with Sky had no problems and even though the return flight was a little delayed, the hotel was very beautiful and the better room was worth it. I really like Iquique and I´m very happy with the service offered by your agency, GOTOLATIN. They were marvelous days thanks to your arrangements and for that I am very grateful to you and your agency.
Dieter Cavalleri
Hello Xime, …Before I begin to tell you about our trip to Cusco, I should thank you, on behalf of me and Bob, for everything you did for us. Everything was perfect and wonderful, you are a great tourism professional...I thank you from the bottom of my heart, because it was a fantastic trip. We saw many places, the people were so friendly and the tours were well organized. They always picked us up on time, we rode in comfortable buses, the guides were very professional, attentive, concerned, and very nice. The places we visited were perfect, we enjoyed it all very much, especially those tours that included lunch because the food there is delicious! Warm wishes,
Ximena Castillo
Hi Mauricio, We are back in the U.S. and our tour of Torres del Paine was excellent. Thank you for providing very high quality of service. There were always people at airport/bus station with our nameplate, very punctual and courteous. I had worried for no reason about what if nobody shows up. The driver in Punta Arenas did very good job of directing us to a restaurant and a museum while we had to wait for the bus. The hotel, Florence Dixie in Puerto Natales, was good and the people were extremely helpful. The excursion to the Torres del Paine was well arranged. Again everyone was on time and the bus was comfortable. The excursion to the glaciers was good too. One suggestion, it will be nicer if a guide gives information a few times. The information was written in a booklet but if a person speaks in person, that will add more fun and value. All in all, your tour and service exceeded my expectations and my thanks to all of you and your guides, drivers, and innkeepers. They did an excellent job.

Dear Aníbal, I just wanted to say “Thank you” for getting my husband's arrangements made. He is now in Argentina and his travels went smoothly. He just called and all is well and he is enjoying a glass of fine Argentine wine (to be matched in quality only by a fine Chilean wine!). Again thank you and we hope we'll have the opportunity to use your services again. Regards,
Mrs. John Jackson
Aníbal, We had a fantastic trip to Argentina - saw more wildlife than we'd hoped for - thanks so much for making our flight arrangements. Our only regret was not being able to go to Chile - snow closed the pass the day we set out to drive over. I know we'll be back in touch for our next trip south!!!
Vicky
Hi Aníbal, We are back with good memories. Everything went very well - transfers, hotels, excursions etc. A special note regarding the cruise on Skorpios III - an memorable cruise in the ice fields (Campos de Hielo Sur)accompanied by a good group of travelers interested in wonderful natural beauty. We want to thank you for your patience in the exchange of so many emails during the planning process of our trip which had time constraints to Easter Island and the Cruise to Campos de Hielo Sur. This was our first experience in planning and reserving a varied trip on the Internet and it was an absolute success. We met Canadian friends in Punta Arenas who were very interested in your services. It is possible they will be in touch with you next year for another trip in South America. What services do you offer in Mexico? We are considering a future cultural trip, Muchas gracias,
Jean-Guy y Noella

Hi Aníbal, I've just got back from my holiday in Argentina and I just wanted to email and say thank you for all your help with the reservations!  All the hotels were fantastic - very classy - and the bookings were all perfect. Thanks again. I hope to return to South America again soon!
Steve Delahunt
Dear Aníbal, We are back at home here in Canada, a very cold land (we've experienced very low temperatures but little snow) but very inviting at the same time. We had an excellent trip in San Pedro de Atacama. Easter Island is marvelous, magical, and doesn't even seem like Chilean territory! I also found Easter Island to be very clean, despite Chile's standards. Geez! Chile is really quite dirty…I imagined that the desert would be so much cleaner but on the contrary, and so many stray dogs! Thank you very much for helping us discover Chile, a country about which I knew very little. My wife was very pleased with the service in both places. Remember that if you venture out to these cold parts one day (we also have very hot summers), don't forget to contact us. Thank you very much and Chao!
César et Claudette
Hi Aníbal, I wish you a very happy new year. We are back to France. We came back last week end. Sorry we did not come to say hi to you. In fact we did not come to Santiago. When we came back from Punta Arenas, we had only one more day before flying back to France and we went directly to Valparaiso to spend our last day..... Did not see Santiago, but we may come back one day.... I wanted to thank you a lot for all your help. Everything went perfeclty well when we were in Chile. And i got the reimbursment from the change of flights.... Thanks again and i wish you all the best.
Caroline
Everything turned out wonderfully. We were very happy, the hotels were great, and we didn't have any problems....on the contrary. The trip was fascinating and Peru is a marvelous country. I hope to work with you all again. Happy 2005 and well wishes. Hugs,
Concepción de la Hera
Ximena, The trip was excellent and everything went smoothly, without error. The services were magnificent. We were so delighted with everything, from the excursions to the people that attended us. Thank you for such a magnificent vacation. Cordially,
Francesc Imbernon
Good morning. Our trip to Chile was great. We enjoyed it very much and found it to be a lovely country. We were always treated with affection. Your land is beautiful.....take care of it. Thank you Ximena and everyone at Gotolatin.
Gerson e Isaura
Hello Juan Pablo, Well, now that I have a bit more time to write I wanted to say hi and thank you for the spectacular trip that you prepared for us! El Glacier Hostal was marvelous...the night we spent there we didn't move from the bar as we watched the sunset over the lake and we admired the icebergs, the glacier and the Torres del Paine. We had so much fun!! We enjoyed all types of weather; snow in Bariloche and Ushuaia, cold and hot weather, wind, rain, and sun!  We are attaching a photo so you can see our happy faces!! Ok Juan Pablo, thanks a million for everything!! Looking forward to a response about the information I requested.  Hugs,
Milagros
Dear Diego, The trip was perfect and regarding the Sheraton Libertador Hotel, the attention as well as the service was excellent. Congratulations on a job well done; you all proved to be professionals who seek the best solution to any situation or request. I will see you on my next trip. Sincerely, Jorge Coddou
Thanks again. Can we make it to Chiloe in one day and back from Puerto Varas? While I am fishing our Chilean daughter and my wife and mother will want to explore and shop. Is there enough to do there, or should we spend time in Puerto Varas and Puerto Montt? By the way, your company is the only one who has taken the time to give me all the information I have asked for. I think I’ve found the right company. Thanks again Steve Johnson
We have returned from an incredible trip through South America and we would first like to congradulate you for having such an amazing country in Chile, with such educated and friendly people. Our experience in Chile has been amazing and all your help on the topic of our cruise has been great. The Mare Australis ship is beautiful and organized the cruise perfectly; the crew was very professional in general and we would recommend the trip. The only thing worth mentioning, is that all the clothes for the water and the rubber boots were provided on board and it is not necessary to bring them so far, as we did. Again, thank you very much for your efficient help; the next time we will surely contact you guys for your kindness and efficiency. Sincerely, Vicente and Milagros García
Joyce and I just returned from our South American holiday which culminated in the visit to Valparaiso, Santiago, and Chile’s wine country - which you and Gotolatin arranged for us. I am writing to you to thank you for the exceptional professional services you provided. The tour was well planned and executed - exactly as you proposed it. The services were appropriate and professional in every respect - on time, and within our budget. Were are very satisfied, and would be pleased to recommend you and your firm to others. Please convey our thanks to Mr. Errazuriz. We would also appreciate it if you would convey our appreciation to Across Chile, and particularly their to representative I. Angelica Santibañez M. for her courtesy and professionalism during our visit. She made our visit a delight. As you may have guessed, I was originally hesitant to make these plans with you on the internet, since we had no prior experience with your firm. My hesitation was unfounded, and I was wrong. Contacting Gotolatin was a good choice for us, and exceeded our expectations. Very truly yours, Mel and Joyce Miles
Hi, So nice to have heard from you... The trip: excellent nature and itinerary... like to do it again!!! The bad thing: "to have dollar signs on my forehead" The unconmfortable thing: "Aerolíneas Argentinas" ... but "very satisfied and happy". Thanks a lot for lending a hand, and even more, for the "post-interest... I send affectionate greetings, Alfredo López
Here, back in Mexico I wanted to send a thank you for your services. The trip was a total success, especially in San Pedro de Atacama with the guide Angel Bravo from Hotel Tulor. He made our trip extremely interesting and comfortable. The desert and all the views that we saw truly are beautiful. The hotel was great and the service was very friendly. The hotel that you recommended in Santiago was also very nice, as we returned there after going to Easter Island. Thank you again and we send you our warmest regards. Martha Ilia Nájera y Silvia Limón
Hi, I would just like to thank, you, your company and especially Aníbal Echenique for all of the assistance, and patience shown in the bookings of our recent flights. We were not helpful ourselves constantly changing our minds with what we wanted and when we wanted it, but whatever we asked was provided, in good time and without any fuss. The service provided was excellent, not to mention it was also excellent value! If I ever travel in this part of the world again I will certainly use www.gotolatin.com. I hope the journey and visit live up to the service provided. Thank you once again. Kind Regards Steven Weaver
Dear Ximena, We just spend last night at the Villarrica Park Lake Hotel and had a wonderful time! It is a very new and beautiful property. Although the Hotel is full due to a convention, the staff did everything to make sure our stay was fine. Thank you again for turning a dissappointment with Hotel Del Lago into a wonderful experience! We come to Chile several times a year and will use your agency exclusively from now on. Best Regards, Jim Spratt
We just returned from our trip and we were delighted with the LaFayette Suites. What a lovely city, Santiago. We really want to return and go thru the vineyards. and the transport from Transvip was great. On time and very courteous driver. Thanks again for your help. Sandi Roberts
I appreciate all of your help in getting this part of my journey worked out for me. I had recently booked one leg online from Santiago to Lima and used the direct booking from the Lan Chile website and I was not impressed. Terrible communication, unprofessional, etc. Your service made me believe in booking on-line again and was wonderful and hassle free. Thanks again. PS. When booking the airfare on monday, if you can get a seat assignment for me Window/Forward so I can get a great view of the andes heading south I would appreciate it. Todd Reeves
....it was FANTASTIC. Apologies for the delay in responding but it has taken me a while to get back into the swing of things back home. But the holiday was EXCELLENT - definitely the BEST THING I have ever done - the area is spectacular and the hospitality and service I received on the holiday was faultless. The family made me feel so welcome it really was a joyous experience for me & one which I definitley would like to repeat & am encouraging my friends & colleagues to experience. If I can help in any way with regard to sharing my experience with potential travellers please let me know as I believe you have a wonderful country & the people are so pleasant it really was a pleasurable experience & I would have no hestitation in encouraging others to go & experience it for themselves. Please do convey my appreciation to those who looked after me as I really do appreciate what they did for me & its only right that they should be told so. Hopefully hear from you soon & once again apologies for my delay in responding. With deep affection for Chile! Arlene Mitcham
Thanks you for all the effort of our tour plans. They're just wonderful!! I also appreciate you. It's a big news in 2001. All members of this tour are very glad to hear good news. I believe this ski-tour in Andes and sightseeing of Santiago give me a good impression. Some times ago, I sent you and Colorado Hotel the following sheet by FAX. Kensaku Kawaguchi
Anibal: Thank you for all your help in preparation for our visit to Explora en Patagonia. Everything worked really well and we had a wonderful time. We had excellent weather for our arrival and 2 days after. On our third full day, it was cloudy but we had only very light rain for a short time. Explora is certainly a very special experience which we will recommend to all our friends in Scotland. We will be back!! Elizabeth Chrystall and David Stuart
Anibal and Marta Thanks so much for taking care of all of the arrangements for me. The trip was wonderful. All of the connections, the hotels, etc. were excellent. I know that I can rely on you for my next trip to Chile and I will recommend you to my friends. I am thinking of going to the Atacama next year. Have a great Holiday season! Regards, Tom
Hi, Anibal, I have just arrived in Brazil and I would like to tell you that our trip was very good. Everything went right and we loved Chile. I hope we can go back soon. Regards, Lelio
Anibal, Hola from Punta Arenas, everything worked out fine, sorry we had to come by the office but we were getting nervous just waiting at the iternet cafe. Marta was very helpful although there is a great hotel in Punta Arenas called Callasto that is a bit better than the one we stayed in last night - at least for quasi budget travellers. Anyway, sorry about the commotion and I really appreciate the work you and the folks at gotolatin.com did for my vacation. I plan on coing back next year so I´ll be in touch, but feel free to send me notice about any good opportunities to come south. Ciao, John Waters
Aníbal, thanks for your reply a little while ago about the skiing. Gotolatin also put me onto Condor Tours to organise the Peruvian part of my journey and I must say that their service has been fantastic! I did a little shopping around as I was hesitant that it was the first place I had been in contact with and no where else. But they have proven beyond a doubt that they surpass any of the other tour companies in Peru. Thanks again. Sorry to bother you on this again, but I have finalised my flight arrangements to Santiago in conjunction with my Peruvian tour. I just would like you to be aware of them if by any chance you see any amazing deals for Valle Nevado as I have seen some of their 2002 rates posted already. Thanks, Kind regards, Trish
When we discovered a discrepancy in the amount charged for the transfer from Santiago to Valparaiso, we were very pleased at the prompt and hassle free refund arranged by your office. Our visit to Santiago was very pleasurable and will certainly use your company on any future trips to S.A. Regards, Carol Peddie
Hi Anbal, This is Marie Holt from Kentucky. You arranged a flight for myself and my friend Teresa to Isla de Pascua this past March. Everything went very, very well and I wanted to say thank you! I'll be making another trip to Santiago in December if you would be interested in helping me out? I have quote requests in to other agencies as well. I figured it wasn't too early to start looking for a flight. I'm looking to travel to Santiago anytime on the 18th or 19th of December and returning anytime after the 26th. Let me know! Thanks! Lorena Marie Holt
Anibal I hope you can remember our emails over the last couple of months. We have now had our holiday in Chile, and we had a wonderful time . All the arrangements went perfectly and we very much enjoyed our stay in your beautiful country. I wanted to write on behalf of our party of 5 people to thank you for all your help Steve Murray
Hi Anibal I wanted to say thanks for organising the boat trip for me, I had an absolutely amazing time & am looking forward to doing the trip again in March next year when I return to Chile. A friend of mine is looking to travel to New Zealand from Santiago, Chile in December for 2 months and I was wondering if you could keep a look out & see if there are any specials on the airfares, as for some reason it is US$1700 Chile to NZ & return, whereas from NZ to Chile & return it is only US$1000. Much appreciated. Best regards, Jenny Teirney
Many thanks for organising the Chile Trip. Everything was excellant and I will certantly be using goto latin services again. Best wishes, Sam
Hello Anibal, Thank you again for all your efforts. Our trip to Chile was absolutely fantastic. We found Chile to be a very beautiful country with very warm and kind people. We look forward to returning and I will contact you for those arrangements. Oscar Romero
Hello Aníbal! This is just a thank-you note for all you did for me, and also, if you need it, a recommendation for your services. You were wonderful, and my trip to Patagonia was greatly heightened by your patient help. Please know that if ever I have the pleasure of traveling again in Chile, it will only be with your kind and knowledgeable assistance! Hugs from São Paulo Brasil, and if ever you come here, please feel free to contact me to give you any information 'firsthand'... Hans Baars
Thank you very much for the outstanding service you gave me when trying to arrange a trip to Robinson Crusoe Island and another trip to Isla de Pascua and Papeete. I had e great time and I enjoyed the good contact with your office very much. I will recommend this to anyone who wants to listen! Greetings, Hans
