My mother and I took the Rapa Nui tour, and it was wonderful 🌺 The agency maintained timely contact before, during, and after the trip, providing us with information and support at all times. We were able to enjoy this amazing experience to the fullest. I also want to highlight the local tour providers and the accommodation at Hinariru Nui cabins; they were very kind and welcoming.Finally, I'd like to mention that they provide practical recommendations for neurodivergent people and/or those with sensory needs, which is a huge plus 👏🏼✨️ I would definitely travel with them again; I highly recommend them 💖

My trip with Raco Experience was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment I booked their services until the very last day, they were always attentive and helpful, and especially helpful when I needed guidance. They would call me back to answer any questions or concerns I had. So, I 100% recommend them and feel completely secure when buying online. Once again, thank you for the beautiful experience with Raco Experience! 👏🙌👌🏼

The trip with my partner was an incredible and wonderful experience. The places were lovely, the hostel was a 10 out of 10—great rooms and full breakfasts—and the scheduling and transfers were all well managed. Everything was wonderful, especially since my partner surprised me by proposing to me amidst the vastness of Grey Glacier, which was truly breathtaking. We were also very satisfied with the Torres del Paine base trek, and the guides were excellent. Overall, we are grateful to have participated in this experience. We had plenty of time to explore Puerto Natales at our leisure and enjoyed every day to the fullest. We are more than happy and will definitely be back for future trips with you.
