I just wanted to congratulate them; they truly care about everything. They call every day to check on your program. They're serious, responsible, and available 24/7 to answer your questions. Keep up the good work!
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…..
Excellent organization, 100% recommended for your next trips and adventures, very reliable.
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!
This was my third trip with El Raco Experience, and it was another excellent experience. 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.

I would definitely recommend this agency to anyone looking for a well-planned, high-quality trip.
First of all, thank you so much! 🤗 This was our first time booking with you, and honestly, at first, it seemed risky. But after doing some research, we felt it was reliable, and it was even better than that. Everything went according to plan, and the service was excellent, both at the hotel and on the tours. Thank you for everything you did for us. We even requested some changes, and you were always available to help. See you next time! We're already planning our next adventure! 🙌🏼
Great agency, the service is amazing. I went to Rapa Nui and the trip was excellent.
Our experience with Raco was incredible from beginning to end. Thank you so much for the thoughtful touch; we thoroughly enjoyed it! We greatly appreciated their flexibility in adapting the entire program to our available dates. The tours were wonderful. Thanks to them, we were able to truly understand and connect with the importance of the island's culture. The cabins are fantastic, and the itinerary was crystal clear throughout. Whenever we needed assistance, they responded immediately. 100% recommended 😊🥳
