Patagonia Travel Guide

From the wide open space to the untamed jagged mountains, the secluded coastline to glacial lakes, Patagonia remains a frontier both sparse and stunning. Dusty roads can lead to luxury oases, wildlife can change from grazing guanacos to boisterous penguins to passing whales. With access to luxury eco-resorts and hiking trails winding through the impressive scenery, the ambiance can feel like stepping into solitude while venturing out onto the steppe. Find more information on when to visit, where to go, and more with our Patagonia Travel Guide.

Italy, Switzerland Travel Review: Livigno, St Moritz, Winter Olympics, 11 Nights

First time to the Olympics and an add-on to Switzerland! Zicasso’s travel specialist was great at listening to our needs and putting together an itinerary.

Our trip to Livigno was fantastic! The location to the two Olympic venues was ideal.

All of the details were covered and when we had a change in one of our day tours due to potential avalanches, the team at the travel company was extremely responsive and was able to adjust.

All of our transportation was well organized and on time. We also had to pivot when our flights home to the US were changed due to weather and the team quickly helped with adjustments to our schedule.

We loved the train from Italy to Switzerland.

We highly recommend this travel specialist and the travel company!

Costa Rica Tour Review: San Jose, Arenal, Manuel Antonio, 11-Night Trip

Zicasso’s travel specialist was a dream. We booked our trip quite late, but they were still able to put together an amazing itinerary, with beautiful hotels, wonderful meals, and incredible activities and adventures, and everything went off without a hitch. We couldn't believe how every single time we had something planned, a driver showed up on time, was super-friendly, and everything went really smoothly. And the owner was always available to tweak things on the fly when necessary. It was just wonderful.
