Patagonia Travel Guide

From the wide open space to the untamed jagged mountains, the secluded coastline to glacial lakes, Patagonia remains a frontier both sparse and stunning. Dusty roads can lead to luxury oases, wildlife can change from grazing guanacos to boisterous penguins to passing whales. With access to luxury eco-resorts and hiking trails winding through the impressive scenery, the ambiance can feel like stepping into solitude while venturing out onto the steppe. Find more information on when to visit, where to go, and more with our Patagonia Travel Guide.

Indonesia Birthday Trip Review: Bali, Views, Cuisine, Tours, 8 Nights

Thank you to the team.

I just wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for planning the most incredible birthday trip I’ve ever experienced. From beginning to end, the travel company delivered excellence in every way.

The entire planning process was effortless and easy; your guidance made everything feel seamless. And the moment we touched down in Bali, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully handled. Everything was planned to perfection, right down to the smallest touches. The hotel villas, the breathtaking views, the reliable WiFi, the spot-on food recommendations, and each carefully curated excursion created a travel experience I’ll never forget.

The team was truly exceptional. They were always prepared, always prompt, and stayed in constant communication with us. We never felt alone, lost, or unsure of what was next. Their patience, kindness, and warm personalities made us feel like we were traveling with family. The level of care and support they provided elevated this trip to something truly special.

This was, without question, the best birthday trip of my life. I will recommend you and your team to the world! Thank you again for making this experience extraordinary in every way.

With deep gratitude,

Quintella M. and Ephraim M.

Argentina, Uruguay Tour Review: Buenos Aires, Salta Province, Iguazu Falls, Wineries, Scenery, 1-Week Trip

Our Argentina trip was really fantastic! It's such a large country that it was hard to narrow down a few places to visit for our short time there. We decided on Buenos Aires, Salta Province, and Iguazú Falls (with a day trip to Uruguay).

Zicasso’s travel company was very easy to work with, being very open and accommodating to our ideas for the itinerary. They managed everything—booking hotels, car service, daily guides and tours, wineries, some restaurants, and our in-country flights. They were great in finding perfect guides to help us navigate where we went and offer lots of good historical information. The travel company was super-communicative, checking in with us almost daily and keeping track of our driver pick-ups and in-country flights.

I think the highlight for me was the Salta Province—it's such a remote area, but with the most beautiful and diverse scenery. The travel company found for us a fantastic driver/guide who did all the driving on some treacherous terrain, translated all our communication, and found some charming places to eat while on the road. He also was very thoughtful in downloading a playlist with music we had talked about liking and put together a short video of our travels as a keepsake. There were some fabulous wineries in the Salta region, so we felt like we experienced a large part of the province.

We also visited Iguazú Falls, which were spectacular from Argentina and Brazil. The travel company made it easy in booking us accommodations inside the national park so we could get an early start on our tour. Our guide there was also wonderful—she shared a lot of interesting information of the area and even told us about a restaurant back in Buenos Aires which we visited, which turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip.

I would highly recommend the travel company, which can plan a great trip from soup to nuts. The women we worked with were delightful to deal with and so welcoming and helpful.

Chile Travel Review: Santiago, Patagonia, Torres del Paine, Scenery, 1-Week Trip

Zicasso’s travel specialist (and our guide) were great partners in planning, adjusting, communicating, and following up on our trip to Chile/Patagonia. We discussed itinerary and cost options early on and actually made a few adjustments along the way (including a change of hotels and activities)—but all easy.

The travel specialist was very available and helped with confirming transportation, timing and helped us when there was a significant issue at our hotel in Santiago (no water/hot water for a full day!).
