Hola Gonzalo! En nombre de mi esposo y yo quiero darte las gracias por el tour que nos organizaste este fin de 2014 por la patagonia chilena.
Todo funcionó perfectamente y no hubo una sola cosa que hubieramos cambiado, todo fue perfecto. Roberto nuestro guia fue muy amable y nivaldo quien nos organizo la cabalgata fue muy interesante de conocer. Todo maravilloso. Esperamos volver algun dia y lo cierto es que te recomendaremos con todo el que quiera ir a la patagonia!
Un abrazo y nuevamente gracias

Hola Gonzalo,
Nuestro viaje fue lindísimo, todo funcionó a la maravilla, tanto en Chile como en Argentina. Todos los hoteles estuvieron muy bien y los tours también. Las dos noches extra en el Hotel Serrano, cerca de las Torres del Paine, estuvieron prefectas. El viaje por los siete lagos muy interesante, nos encantó la mucha vegetación que de pronto había por allí.
La próxima vez quitaríamos un día en Bariloche y lo cambiaríamos por un día más en Puerto Varas. Muchas gracias por la magnífica organización de nuestro viaje y tal vez hasta pronto.
Muchos saludos desde Costa Rica,

Gonzalo, no había tenido tiempo para escribirte y agradecerte todas tus gestiones para nuestro viaje. Fue todo espectacular, quedamos encantados con los lugares, hoteles, auto, tours y todo lo que vivimos. Nunca nos habíamos quedado por esos lados así que quedamos maravillados. El único hotel que no nos pareció tan bueno fue el de Puerto Natales, en relación a la calidad de todos los demás y pensando que había bastantes más posibles. Te lo cuento como para que lo tengas en cuenta
En todo caso, estuvo todo ultra organizado, no siempre uno ve esto así que muy agradecidos!!!

Dear Gonzalo,
I have been meaning to write to you for a long time to thank you for organizing our trip in Patagonia. Both my wife and I had a fabulous time in your part of the world and plan to be back there in the near future. Many of the hotels were excellent and the people gave us such a wonderful impression of both Chile and Argentina.
Best wishes until I contact you again.

Dear Gonzalo, all is very wonderful! thanks for all great advises! we are so happy. Pristine wild Antarctica full of respect and wonder. Icy winds; only mild storms of 50 knotes-nearly 100 kmh. Admiration and respect for all explorers who survived with enormous effort under extrem conditions. Unbelievebel icebergs floating! most cute, friendly, curious penguins running around! big humpback whale gave their friendly welcome swimming around the zodiac.albatrosse, big elefant-seals, killerwhales, lion-seals we experienced!! strong winds, shaking ship on drake passage: only flying beerglases and lemondesert, other ships few days before had more severe havarie.
Creative journey continues. All the best ulrike from Ushuaia, Tierra del fuego.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Patagonia Australis. Gonzalo Tejada was instrumental in planning our trip, secured for us excellent guides, put us in topnotch hotels — we cannot imagine a better trip! Gonzalo gave us price quotes in a timely manner and was easy to communicate with via email. We were especially impressed by the fact that we were always met punctually at airports, harbors, bus stations and in hotel lobbies. We never had to worry about a thing!

Dear Gonzalo:
Thank you for all of your assistance in planning our December 2009 trip to Patagonia for our family. It was a great way to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and we appreciate all the courtesies shown to us by your company and some of the hotels. We really enjoyed the beautiful vistas and have a great appreciation for this part of the world.
It was very easy to communicate with you by e-mail to plan our trip. We thank you again for all of your time and assistance.
Warm regards, Sandra Kossacoff & Howard Fullman & family (Encino, California, USA)

Thank you, and best regards
In November 2009 we have planned for a trip through Patagonia. After studying a number of books and web pages we decided to contact a local agency and organize the trip with their help. We chose Patagonia Antartica Tour Operator (www.patagoniaantartica.com) in Punta Arenas due to the offer of an ‘exploration cruise’ through the ‘Glaciers Avenue’ to the Cape Horn. Together we organized a 3 weeks tour through Patagonia (from Cape Horn to Aysen region) that has been a real success. We have very much appreciated the professionalism and efficiency of this Tour Operator. First its capacity to understand very well the client’s desiderata and to adapt to his plans, budget and ideas. Secondly we appreciated its perfect cooperation with all the involved partners: hotels, rent-a-car agencies, other tour operators in Chile and Argentina that allowed us to have a 3 weeks complex trip as one single packet without any problem appearing on the way.
In conclusion we highly recommend Patagonia Antartica Tour Operator (www.patagoniaantartica.com) in Punta Arenas for organizing trips and holidays in Patagonia.
Thanks,

We are group of polish journalist, travelling all over world, from time to time, together. Some of us have companies so it’s reason to ask you for invoices. We will surely recommend your company as brilliant organizer.
Thank you, and best regards

We want to thank you very much making our trip so successful. We enjoyed in every place you arranged us: the hotels ,the transportation, the trips, and the guides. Every thing you promise was fulfilled we didn’t imagine that it is going to be so good. We really appreciate what you did for us.we are going to recommend in our web about your good and trustful service.
thank you very much

29.11.2008 al 14.12.2008 Viaje a la Patagonia
Encontramos en Patagonia Antártica Ltda. la entidad que supo acoger nuestras inquietudes e ilusiones, que supo mejorarlas escuchándonos con gran empatía concretándolas en un viaje personalizado maravilloso que superó todas nuestras expectativas. Disfrutamos de los glaciares argentinos y chilenos, de los témpanos de hielo, de la navegación en catamarán por los lagos, de los fiordos chilenos, de la subida en Zodiac por el rio Serrano, del impresionante Macizo de las Torres del Paine, de la travesía de la Cordillera de los Andes ¡por lagos! con volcanes nevados a diestro y siniestro, de los notros, de los alerces, de los guanacos, de los ñandúes, de los caiquenes, de los cisnes de cuello negro, de los cóndores, de los pingüinos magallánicos, de vientos de fuerza 6,.. ………., en fin, de la naturaleza en su estado más puro. En el aspecto histórico cultural hay que destacar la maravilla de las iglesias de estilo neogótico construidas en madera de alerce de los siglos XVII y XVIII en el archipiélago de las islas Chiloe, hoy declaradas Patrimonio de la Humanidad y nuestra estancia en Buenos Aires con el sabor de la Boca y el barrio de la Recoleta. La elección de Patagonia Antartica no fue casual, sino tras desechar varias agencias y touroperadores de España, Argentina y Chile, que fueron sometidos a distintas “pruebas” de tipo técnico y económico. Solamente después de asegurarnos de su competencia profesional y de su solvencia económica nos decidimos por ellos.
A Gonzalo Tejeda y a su equipo de guías nuestro profundo agradecimiento

14.01.2009 Dear Gonzalo Tejeda
I am following up on our trip to Patagonia. We had a marvelous time, took a few good photos (see attached) and made many new friends. Thanks for the response and the refund of $85. That’s fine with us. It was an awesome trip – with the Zodiac trip up the river as the “diamond” from the trip. Thank you again for your excellent arranging of the details for our travel. We especially enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Tyndall.

20.05.2008 Hola Gonzalo……que tal……como estan todos….???
Estoy muy contenta con el hecho de haberlos contratado como mi agencia de turismo para conocer CHILE. Y sobre todo porque los servicios contratados, fueron muy puntuales. Los Guias tanto en Santiago, como en Punta Arenas, como en Puerto Natales,como en Ushuaia , fueron la puntualidad personificada. Y lo felicito por tener a una mujer como Miroslava al frente del Hotel Carpa Manzano…..,es una mujer que tiene “feeling”. El hotel CARPA MANZANO me fascino, los cuartos son un dulcito vestido de blanco, invitan al reposo y al descanso. Esta muy bien decorado y su personal es al igual que el hotel, gente profesional y cariñosa. Me hubiese gustado pasar una semana nada mas que descansando.
Un beso para todos y mil gracias por los servicios prestados…

Reportandome despues de algun tiempo, antes que nada gracias por tu apoyo y espero que hayas arrancado el ano con muchisimo trabajo, te envio mis saludos y agradecimientos pór este largo viaje por la Patagonia Chileno-Argentina En lineas generales los servicios estubieron muy bien y de acuerdo al programa confirmado … El paseo en el barco australis justo lo que imaginabamos, un barco pequeno pero con todas las comodidades y buen servicio a bordo. Un poco Caro para los estandares internacionales. Despues de haber estado en la competencia (skorpios) me parece que en esta ocasion el australis en muchos sentidos es muy superior.

We are now in Buenos Aires after leaving Patagonia. We enjoyed our trip very very much, especially the part in Chile. All arrangements worked perfectly, thank you for making the trip so smooth. We were especially pleased to be able to travel after having to postpone earlier this year – thank you for your patience and co-operation during that time. Since we ate Calafate during our stay then according to legend, we will return one day. If so, then we will surely trust our arrangements to you.
Thanks and Best regards.

14.03.2006 Hi Gonzalo
We had a great time in Patagonia, both in Chile and Argentina. Thanks very much for your arrangement and service, the trekking to PN Torres del Paine turned out to be one of the best treks we ever had. Not only the mountains, lakes and glaciers are beautiful and gracious, the tour itself is also excellent. Edmundo Martinez is just an incredible guide. His experience, his knowledge and his care about the trekkers made all of us trekkers enjoyed the trip so much. My compliments to you for having hime as your tour operation partners. Now the trekking is over and we are back to the States, living in a way same as before the trekking. The memory is still fresh when we review the photos, pictures, postcards, and books we brought back.
Thanks again, say hello to your lovingly wife.
FRANK
04.03.2006 Dear Mr. Tejeda,
I just wanted to let you know that all reservations and all arrangements for our trip to Patagonia worked beautifully, and that we had much pleasure during the trip. We hope that we can repeat once again the experiences and visit this beautiful part of the world. We certainly can recommend your services.
Best regards,
Joachim Heberlein.
06.12.2005 Hola Gonzalo
Please forgive our delay in getting back to you. Our life has been crazy since we got back, but things have finally settled down a bit. So, here is our final report: Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Your work on our behalf was excellent, the small setbacks at the hotel and airline in Santiago notwithstanding. Each trip has a few small glitches, and when we need you to step in and help us, you did so in fine style. We will not hesitate to recommend your company to our friends, and as promised, here is the e-mail address of our friend in Cusco (explorer@amauta.rcp.net.pe) with the hope that you can work out future shared tour programs with her. Her name is Maria Dolores Calvo Acurio, and if you do contact her feel free to use my name. I have also given your name to the man who did our day tour in Santiago. His name is Jorge Finning and his e-mail address is apequenao@chile.com . He is currently a tour guide for Sporttours, but he and his brother, Marcello, are trying to start their own tour company. They are the twin sons of an English father and a Chilean/Indian mother from Punta Arenas, and have many years in the tour industry. They speak english very well and did a fine city tour for us. I would also like to offer a suggestion for your hotel. The room was fine and you should be successful with your new venture, and the only thing I would add is water glasses—one for each guest. Maybe even a bottle of water, sin gaz, for the tourists that are not sure of the local water might be a nice classy touch. Finally, here are a few photos from our trip. Included is our Cape Horn photo, a photo of the Cabanas del Paines taken from atop a nearby hill, a couple shots of the Paine massif from just in front of our cabana, me at the base of the Towers, Mt. FitzRoy, and Cerro Torre. Also included is the warning sign at FitzRoy in case any of your clients aren’t up to the climb to Laguna de Los Tres.
If there is anything else we can offer to you, please feel free to let us know. thanks again for your great job.
FRED.
14.11.2005 Gonzalo:
I want to thank you for arranging the trek for us. We all had a great time and we all enjoyed the guidance of Edmundo Martinez, our guide, who did an excellent job seeing us through safely. He was well informed about the area and we want to pass on to your our appreciation of what he did for us.
Thank you again. If there are future treks, I will contact you again.

We had a great time earlier this year on the trip you arranged trekking in Torres del Paine and fishing at Alejandro’s lodge across from the Serrano Glacier. We particularly enjoyed fishing and hiking with Alejandro. Alejandro mentioned that the fishing in Tierra del Fuego was even better than at his lodge near the park, and we were wondering whether he has a lodge or other arrangements in Tierra del Fuego. He mentioned that he does guided fishing there, too. We are aware of your fishing programme in Tierra del Fuego, but would really like to fish and hike with Alejandro because we liked him very much. We were also impressed that you were able to make arrangements of many kinds to meet our wishes. We would have about 10 days.
Thanks in advance for your help.

From meeting us at the airports/bus terminals, hotels, and tours everyone was quite professional. We ecspecially had a wonderful time on the Torres Del Paine Tour with Luis and Marco.
Thank you again for helping to make our Chilean experience so much more memorable!,

Once again, thank you for all of your help last year when our family was planning our trip to Chile and to Patagonia. Our trip was memorable, and we have told many of our friends about the beauty of your country. I have also recommended your services to the publishers of Rough Guide to Chile. As summer approaches, we hope that this is a good season for you, and we wish you and your family a verry happy Christmas and New Year.

I just want to thank you so much for all your help putting together our great great trip to Patagonia. Everyone in the group had a fabulous time, things went like clockwork, and we were all sad to leave. It really was the trip of a lifetime for many of us, including me!!!! I had wanted to go to your part of the world for about the past 20 years. It did not disappoint.
thanks

03.12.2004 Dear Gonzalo:
We recently returned from a trek that you organized for us. We want to thank you for your efforts; it was a wonderful experience. Indeed, the W-circuit is one of the greatest treks on Earth. Although I was disappointed that we did not make it to Zapata, it was wonderful that plans could be modified so that we could see the Valle de France on a clear day instead. We also want to highly commend the guide you assigned to us, Morcelo Utteau Messino. He was very considerate, always thinking about what needed to be done, and well prepared. I especially appreciated how much he helped my wife cross rivers and climb boulders, including at one point carrying her backpack as well as his own after she fell. We recommend him highly for work with English-speakers.
Sincerely
Jim Gill
