I booked with tangol, including getting confirmation and payment. 1 day prior to departure, tangol informed me that they did not have space for me. I will avoid this company from now on.

The tour was long but it was worth it! Torres del Paine was amazing!
The vehicle used was comfortable even though we hit some rough roads. Border crossing went smoothly. We got to see many amazing lookouts for photo points in the park.

Middle of the day I was regretting taking this trip. At the end of the day I seriously wanted my money back. There was too much time spent in the car and at the borders. Also the truck broke down and was very cold. I did appreciate that they attempted to clean the windows once when they got dirty. But as the weather cleared up and we could have stopped at a great view point to get pictures we drove right past. The places we did stop besides lunch by the small waterfall we didn’t spend enough time at. It felt rushed to get back in the van to drive some more. This trip was not enjoyable at all. I would suggest taking your day and $150.00 and doing something, anything other than this. You will thank me for it.
