I contacted Jaime Liebrecht of PatagoniaShorex for a private tour of Chile (Puerto Varas) and Argentina (Bariloche) and expressed our wants/desires for our children (10 year twins and 16 year old) for our family's first trip to South America. The tour that Jaime planned for our family was perfect! .... Here's just a sampling of our adventure: From the Puerto Varas area we went zip lining near the slopes of the Osorno Volcano (in heavy fog - which made it even more adventuresome), saw some amazing water falls and fed some Llamas. We went horse back riding, learned how to fly fish, hiked a rain forest and learned about the plants and fauna, visited an endangered animal and puma rescue, ate some authentic Chilean BBQ for lunch and experienced Chile's beautiful Carmenere wine all at a wonderful family-run farm. We also visited island of Chiloe and ventured to Punihuil, where we took a small boat to see two species of penguins that were nesting on some islands. After, we tried the local sea bass for lunch and went shopping for some handmade crafts. We crossed the Andes into Argentina and took a ferry to Bariloche and saw the most amazing views, had fun riding a toboggan sled, ate some amazing Argentinian beef and treated ourselves to some local chocolates for dessert. The hotels and restaurants that Jaime booked for us were excellent ... His attention to detail made traveling easy for our kids. Overall, our experience with Jaime was amazing ... we are looking forward to touring with him again!
