    Tour was advertised as a package including transportation…..BE WARE this is NOT a package tour!!!!! It is land ONLY snd it is NOT fully guided and often you are completely dependent on drivers that cannot speak a word of English!!!!! The agent changed the one hotel without tell us … from a spa hotel to shacks with no hot water…..Chile is amazing but you need to do a LOT of research if you are going to use this company as I said it is only hotel and transfers …. Do it online yourself …..you will save a fortune. Beware if you are going to use this tour get the airport codes near to where you are going so at least you know where to book you flights

    The guide in Santiago is good. The tour operator Ripiotourismo two times didn’t tell me the pickup time, one is geysers tour, one is pick time from kimal hotel to airport that I waited for 4 hours in hotel. Also the kimal staff helped me call several numbers in Argentina office and AtacamaConnecting office, for 4 hours, but nobody ever pick phone, also I walked to AtacamaConnecting office in the town, the staff didn’t speak any English, so we couldn’t communicate,I was very frustrated and very mad! Also in Torres del Paine NP, without car, we can do nothing, you recommended boat tour in the itinerary was in punta arena area, how can we do it? Glacier grey tour, we don’t have car, how can we join it? Self guide is not good idea,

    Nicole

    Asked on November 9th, 2022

    Can you give me pricing based on these flights and hotel in puerto Natalie's instead of Torres del Paine? I am assuming it will be lower pricking per person since PN hotels will not be all inclusive and are generally little less expensive? Please confirm asap

      You have the dates wrong. I am in Chile Dec 23 morning to Jan 1 night. I need flights between these dates

    • RipioTurismoOperatorWritten November 2022

      Yes, please note if you're traveling in December, we have to proceed urgently. Furthermore, accommodation in the national park is fully booked, so we have to confirm to stay in Puerto Natales and visit Torres del paine National park from there

    • RipioTurismoOperatorWritten November 2022

      prices are basically the same, because we include the visit to Torres del Paine National Park and Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers to fill the days you're in Puerto Natales

    Who, when and where will issue a Tourist card for tourists?

    • RipioTurismoOperatorWritten October 2022

      The International Police Office provides a duplicate form called "Tourism Card" when entering Chile. This card is personal and non-transferable and its duration is 90 days, extendable for another 90 days. The copy must remain in the tourist's possession for the duration of their stay in the country and must be presented to the International Police upon leaving Chile.

    Asked on June 14th, 2022

    how long is the trekking for Torres del Paine? are we camping during the trek at Torrez del Paine?

    Tour Details
    • RipioTurismoOperatorWritten June 2022

      It's full-day trekking that takes around 10 hours. No camping, just go to visit the towers and then return to the hotel. During June/July, the visit could be restricted to the weather conditions, so trekking cannot be guaranteed.
