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.

Spain Tour Review: 11-Day Trip

Zicasso’s travel partner created a beautiful trip for our family. It was a last-minute international trip and they planned everything for us, and responded to all our specific requests and changes with grace and patience. They pulled everything together so quickly. Their local knowledge and connections to the people and places that we wanted to go were incredible.

All our accommodations were incredible and the tours and tour guides were interesting and custom-built for our needs. The communication with them was clear, fast, and responsive. They were a great travel company and I highly recommend them.

Argentina Vacation Review: Iguazu Falls, Wine Tasting, Cuisine, Tango, Boating, 13 Nights

Zicasso’s travel specialist created a special, never-to-be-forgotten adventure in Argentina. As a 70-something-year-old woman who loves nature, wine, fine food, the arts, and meeting interesting people, the travel specialist provided all of that and more.

We had personal drivers and guides who introduced us to the history and culture of Argentina. We had lunch and dinners at Michelin- and five-star-rated restaurants, as well as stays in unusual boutique hotels. Evenings of tango demonstrations and a boat ride behind Iguazú Falls. I cannot recommend anyone more than the travel specialist to create a unique Argentinian itinerary tailored just for you.

Portugal Tour Review: Sintra, Douro River, Vineyard Tour, 8 Nights

Zicasso's travel specialist planned a wonderful trip. All entrance tickets were purchased in advance, so we never had to wait in a line. Our tour guides were very informative and always answered our questions. I walk with a cane and they all took their time with us. We never felt rushed. The personal service was excellent. The cars (Mercedes-Benz) were very comfortable.

The travel agency is an excellent company to deal with. Each step of the trip, we were well taken care of. We were also taken to some sights that were not on the itinerary. They are very flexible.

Protugal Trip Review: 8 Days

Zicasso's travel specialist could not have been better to work with. As we planned the trip, his knowledgeable and patient demeanor came to the forefront. He always had good suggestions and solutions to our questions. There was no pressure and everything involved in planning the trip was very relaxing and enjoyable.

While we were in Portugal, our agent was incredibly communicative (and timely in his communication), helpful, and able to help us pivot when something came up on our end—he was very solutions-oriented and focused on us just enjoying our time there. We appreciated it immensely—the trip was worry-free.

Peru Trip Review: Amazon, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco, 6 Nights

Our trip to Peru was truly a dream come true, and I can’t say enough great things about Zicasso's travel specialist. From start to finish, everything went incredibly smoothly. Communication was excellent before and during the trip, and we always had a guide and driver ready—punctual, professional, and friendly—every step of the way.

Every hotel and lodge we stayed in was fantastic, and the excursions were perfectly planned to give us an authentic, unforgettable experience. Whether we were exploring the Amazon, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, or Cusco, everything was handled seamlessly.

This was easily one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had (and this is my 19th country), and I would recommend this company to anyone looking to explore Peru. They took care of every detail so we could just enjoy the adventure.

Greece Tour Review: Athens, Santorini, Monemvasia, Nafplio, 8 Nights

My husband and I are back from a blockbuster trip to Greece and its perfection was due in no small part to Zicasso's travel agent. She listened deeply to what we were looking for and delivered exactly what we wanted and more. From Athens' and Santorini's famous attractions and dreamy accommodations to more off-the-beaten-path destinations, she gave us the dream vacation we were hoping for. The vendors the agency works with were top-notch and several of them went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. I can't wait to be pampered by this agency again!
