Reliable

I was unable to attend due to the bad weather and state of emergency decreed by the Chilean government. The agency ordered all necessary care and returned the money promptly, unlike other agencies we had hired. Super recommend!

I wouldn’t repeat, honestly, especially if you’re tight on time

You have to decide if it’s worth to you or not. Basically, the tour is just a van ride to an hotel, Portillo, where you can have a drink or a light meal, and the Inca Lagoon in front of it. The lagoon is beautiful, but the surroundings are not spectacular. There is some construction work going on and construction materials visible that make the experience a little less “natural” and “clean”. You will make a stop midway to have breakfast, so you’ll feel you’re always eating during this tour. You will come back to the same café where you stop in the morning for a picnic later on (I couldn’t eat anything, I was still full) and see some lamas, horses and a donkey (and cats and dogs). They’re on a playground, so it feels a little childish. All that for 5 hours inside the van (2,5h each way). Knowing this, I probably wouldn’t repeat the experience. Also, I believe the lagoon may be more beautiful during winter time with snow. In the summer, less so. The guide, Angel, was nice, but there wasn’t much to explain or do during the excursion. He mostly drives all the time and puts some music that I actually found annoying during the ride.

Operator response

Hello André, Thank you very much for sharing your experience and your feedback with us. The Chilean Andes tour, including Portillo and Laguna del Inca, is a panoramic experience designed for the contemplation of the Andes Mountains and the landscapes along the journey. During the summer, the scenery presents different characteristics compared to winter, when the presence of snow completely transforms the landscape, offering distinct experiences in each season. Regarding the travel time, it is part of the tour proposal, as the destination is located in a high mountain area, and we always plan strategic stops to make the journey more comfortable and enjoyable for our passengers. We are glad to know that the guide’s service was a positive aspect of your experience, and we truly appreciate your observations as they help us continuously improve the experience we provide to our travelers. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another experience with us. Warm regards, Full Tour Team

Lovely day out

It was great. The photo is a little misleading...in January there was no snow, beautiful sunshine and warm temperatures. A lovely spot and a great guide.

Operator response

Hi Mary, 😊 Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us! We’re happy to know you enjoyed the tour, the pleasant weather, and the guidance provided. Regarding the photos, they represent the tour throughout different times of the year. In January, there is indeed no snow in the Portillo region, and the experience is marked by beautiful landscapes, sunny days, and mild temperatures, just as you described. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps other travelers better understand what to expect in each season. A warm hug from the entire Full Tour team.
