Rare TiogaCruiser Posted April 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2012 This will be my first time in South America. Am planning to do independant flights. Does anyone have any recommendations for: 1) a hotel in Santiago (then transfer from airport to hotel) and then 2) transfer the next day from hotel to Valpo for the cruise. If a tour is included that will likely work too. Thanks- ~TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1982CruzStart Posted May 1, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2012 We just got back from our cruise which started in Santiago. If you decide you want a tour, I recommend Juan Carlos of Chiliean Journey for a tour and transfer. He was great, very knowledgeable and friendly. He can be reached at jcgonzalez65@hotmail dot com. If you are wine drinkers take the tour that includes 1 or 2 stops at wineries between Santiago and Valparaiso. We didn't stay in Santiago so can't help there, we stayed in Valparaiso.

He is a fantastic guide and his English is perfect as he lived in New York for 13 years I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
