ATACAMA DESERT, CHILE

STAR-GAZING AT THE EXPLORA OBSERVATORY

How about the driest spot on Planet Earth? Make Explora Atacama part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Chile and you’ll discover a place so vast that time and direction lose their meaning. A place so ruggedly beautiful it defies your camera; where you’ll ride horses through wilderness, take guided mountain hikes, go star-gazing at the Explora Observatory, visit Puritama hot springs and, of course, stay in a lodge that embraces the traditions of the ancient Aymura people. Complete with 42 acre grounds lined with the time-worn paths and buildings of the area‘s original inhabitants.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”

Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. 91�� were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”

I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91�� and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”

This was our second big trip with 91�� – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.
