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)

www.torresdelpaine.com/ingles/index.asp

piece of cake to self guide or hire a local

driver guide from $50/half day

What I might do.

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.

There is a known company called Eco Tours but I haven't heard of Eco Trips.

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.
