1000% highly recommended! Everything was very reliable. I traveled with my daughter (10 years old) on a father-daughter adventure, and everything was very well organized and coordinated, including tours, transportation, and very comfortable accommodations (Chez Hiva). Everything was very well structured, an unforgettable experience, and I would do it again with Raco. I hope to return to the island with the most beautiful mystique and vibe in the world 🏝️🌸💙. As I said before, highly recommended. I leave eternally grateful and completely recharged, with a piece of the island in my heart.

We completely enjoyed our trip to the Atacama. First the arrangements were flawlessly arranged. Jose was very attentive responding to all our concerns. From our flight to our accommodation at the Hotel Dunas( my only problem was the internet connection, although the management tried very hard to make it work) Apart from that our stay was wonderful, the tours were amazing, we did the astronomical tour that words cannot describe as well as the Valley of the moon tour. We will definitely recommend using El Raco…..

Hello. The experience was magnificent in every way. The service at the Vientos del Sur hotel was excellent, both during transfers and at the transfers. The driver and the guide were both excellent. The Termas Geometricas hot springs were an unforgettable experience, with snow and rain, which is exactly what we expected. The Huilo Huilo full-day tour was phenomenal, despite the rainy weather. My wife and I were very satisfied with everything, from the transfers and hotel to the tours. The hotel breakfast was impeccable.

A wonderful experience on Rapa Nui, from the initial trip planning to its conclusion. The logistics and tour scheduling allowed for comfortable and efficient visits to the island's iconic locations, with historical information provided by highly professional, attentive, and helpful guides. The diving experience was very safe and personalized. The accommodation was excellent: well-equipped, very private, clean, and with a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere. I hope to repeat the experience soon. Thank you so much!

Everything was detailed and organized day-to-day; they made sure everything ran smoothly, and you could easily contact them if you had any problems. Highly recommended, and I'm already planning another trip with them.
