Tour Company in Chile
 
Has anyone ever heard of or used a tour company called Eco Trips Chile? We are considering using them for a tour of Torres del Paine when we are in Chile this fall. Just curious if anyone would recommend them. Thanks!

firstimer no profile spamvert tout alert

newbie never heard of them

web site looks very shady avoid like the plague

many scammers always stick with established

providers of quality like latinamericaforless.com

check with saexplorers.com for legit companies

if u are legit(doubtful)

We have travelled twice to Torres del Paine and used the services of
www.patagoniaantartica.com/en/
for both trips. We worked with their general manager, Gonzalo Tejeda both times. He arrange flights from Santiago, hotels in both Punta Arenas and Puerto Natales, our stay at Torres del Paine and a glacier cruise. He was very responsive to our many questions. We would use him again.

Hi My names is Sebastian Greve, I working in Ecotrips Chile Working Ecotrips 2 years ago in Chile.

We are a company of young people, we all love adventure sports and nature, our guides are native to Patagonia and well known all over the Torres del Paine park, this year 2011 we successfully more than 70 people in the trekking in Torres Paine (Circuit W). Our guides are certified in Torres del Paine.

We are a company that works hard and tries to make things right, we are not scammers as mentioned in the post higher up, if given the time to know before talking things that are not properly would be more logical.

If this website seems wrong, we invite you to visit our new sites

www.ecotripschile-patagonia.com
www.hikingintorresdelpaine.com

I hope you like it!.-


I'll be in this forum to help travelers with information about Chile and Patagonia. Our New hiking begin in October

Best Regards
Sebastian

The Whois info of those websites is:
Registrant:
Carlos Hook
Roman diaz 2226
santiago, region metropolitana 8340518
Chile

This info coincides with the address on the website:
Román Díaz 2262 Providencia, Santiago - Chile | Skype: ecotripschile | Teléfono: 8-7335222

Administrative Contact:
Hook, Carlos [email protected]
Roman diaz 2226
santiago, region metropolitana 8340518
Chile
(602) 274-3263

That doesn't mean that that address belongs to that company.
One would have to go there. It's near where I live. If you want I can go round and have a look.


The other website belongs to a Peruvian. That is not good.

Administrative Contact:
Perez, Gabriel [email protected]

Cooperativa 1 de setiembre Mz5 Lte 7

I would do a bit more of research before giving any personal info.

I don't know if you can send me a message, if not leave a message here and I'll go and have a look at the address.

I can vouch for a friend of mine that works in adventure travel. His website is www.planetachile.cl
Maybe he can give you info of past clients in your country you can contact or some other sort of assurance.

My website is www.arriendoenchile.cl
