Chile Nativo LTDA is not responsible for expenses incurred in preparation for any cancelled trip. For this reason we strongly recommend trip cancellation insurance 

Travel Insurance: Chile Nativo LTDA trips take place in remote locations, accidents can and do occur occasionally as well as last minute inconveniences, such as flight delays, loss of luggage, or a simple ankle twist preventing you from arriving on time at the meeting point agreed or unable to finish your vacation. Therefore we require all clients carry their own health, accident and liability insurance. Travel insurance should include protection for the full duration of your vacation including: medical expenses, injury, death, repatriation as well as cancellation and curtailment. It is good to check that there are no exclusions clauses limiting the types of activities included in your trip. Chile Nativo LTDA will act in full accordance during an emergency situation, but we can assume no responsibility for medical costs or evacuation costs during or after a trip. Quote your insurance here! 

Liability Chile Nativo LTDA does not carry liability insurance and cannot assume any responsibility for accidents whether caused by your fault, the horse, equipment, or other persons or subcontractors on the trip. We require all our guests to complete and sign a liability waiver that will be sent to them prior to the trip start. This form should be returned to the Chile Nativo via online completion at the time of the initial trip deposit. 

Health Conditions: All our guests should be in good general physical health. A general health form will be sent to each guest to be completed and signed; this should be returned to the Chile Nativo via online completion at the time of the initial trip deposit

Amazing trip! We joined the Torres Del Paine 7 day O trek tour - note that this tour is not a complete O Trek but skipping the part from Camp Frances to Las Torres, which worked in our favour as our holiday is limited and we won’t miss much. Our guide, Debbie was knowledgeable and amicable, and very passionate about hiking. Unfortunately I fell sick during the hike and wished to leave a day earlier than planned. Debbie and Chile Nativo quickly rearranged transportation for us and was very helpful. Throughout the whole process Chile Nativo was very responsive. We had a memorable journey and I would highly recommend Chile Nativo.

Fantastic experience! We were booked with Chile Nativo via Swoop and had a wonderful experience. Our guides, Tim & Lucile, were awesome. We really enjoyed their company. They were very knowledgeable about the region (the history, animals, landscape, etc). Highly recommend.

I booked the independent, self-guided Torres Del Paine trek with Chile Nativo’s help and was so glad I did. When I looked to book on my own, everything was all reserved in Torres Del Paine and Chile Nativo was the only agency that could help me find a spot still. To still be able to go on the trip when I wanted to go, to not have to spend so much time planning all the logistics, to get a local’s recommendations on the best way to do the trek…but STILL get to do the trek on my own was amazing and worth every penny. In particular Paolina at the agency was incredibly helpful. I would recommend this agency to anyone looking to hike in Torres del Paine.

Hiking in Torres with Pepa is like walking with your smartest and wisest friend. She has an incredible depth of knowledge in everything from mycology to government, from geology to history. She is fiercely passionate about conservation and our planet and has dedicated her life to making our world a better place. Our two porters Filipe and Bastian were both incredibly strong and highly professional. Always in the know on where to set up the tent, they picked the best spot in every site we were at. Also, they were an absolute blast to hang out with after the long days hiking. I cannot recommend this particular team highly enough and if you are passionate about the environment, making the world a better place, learning everything there is to know about glaciers, mushrooms, Patagonia, the history of Chile, magma intrusions and edible berries request them by name. Thank you to all three of you for making our experience so special and I hope our paths cross again.

Our Torres Del Paine Plus trip was fantastic! A great crew of newly-made friends, guided by Izabella “La Professora”, on a journey beyond expectations. What a great time, a balance of hiking and touring. DO NOT miss the pumas!!! I will definitely go with the Chile Nativo team again, and thanks to Nestor & Juan too!
