ZERO WASTE CHALLENGE
Our first steps to become the first
Zero Waste Travel Company in Chile
As a company offering responsible tourism in the Lake & Volcano District, Atacama Desert and Patagonia of Chile since 2003, we decided to take a new challenge towards becoming a Zero Waste Company. As a result, we are implementing several new measures:
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE AND MUCH MORE
We are measuring all our waste generated during our trips, improving the waste management each day and reaching a Zero Waste Operation by 2025.

Our family of 5 had an amazing trip planned by Amity Tours. We spent 17 days traveling from Santiago, heading north to the desert, then south to Patagonia, then... read more finishing in Pucon. It was a trip of a life time, all of it perfectly executed by Amity tours. Everyday we had an fantastic adventure or excursion planned. It was always the right amount of activity and the selection of the activities was perfect for our family. Thank you Cristian and Amity Tours.
January 12, 2015We were introduced to Amity Tours by the local Backroads team when Backroads cancelled our cycling trip at the last minute due to the Carona virus travel restrictions (March 2020).... read more We were put in touch with Christian Levy (based in Pucon) of Amity who was professional and extremely helpful. We were stranded in Puerto Varas, he organized transport to Pucon, made hotel reservations, planned local Pucon based sightseeing and connected us to an excellent guiding company in Puerto Varas. When it became apparent hotels in Pucon were closing (again due to Coronavirus), he reached out before our departure so that we would not travel to Pucon and be stranded there. Amity Tours was exceedingly helpful providing first in class support. Once we went to Santiago, Christian reached out again to ensure that we were safe and provided hiking recommendations. I have no hesitation recommending the Amity team and when I return to Chile, I will be seeking Christian out to meet him and thank him in person and, to use their services . Based on our experience with Christian I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Amity Tours

January 1, 2022We did a bike tour with Amity in the lake district in Chile and Argentina and had a great trip. We had read about hiking Volcan Villarica in Pucon, and... read more Amity set up an excellent trip for us. We then began the bike trip. The rental bikes provided were excellent (new Cannondales) and the routes chosen had little traffic and great views. We had a great bike leader, Ruben, and the support vehicles were always available if needed. The biking routes were generally challenging, but rewarding. Accommodations were very luxurious, and meals were fine. I would strongly recommend Amity if you are looking for a biking trip in this area.

They also helped us out with our every need, from a ride back to the airport, to tips on where and what to eat! The weather, scenery, food was truly unbelievable.

A group of six of us took the six-day biking/hiking tour, which - wisely - alternated the two activities. I have taken many such tours on several continents, and none... read more was better. The guide was excellent and great fun, the company showed flexibility organising the tour as well as making minor adjustments during. We changed the accommodations from what was suggested to an inn in Pucon rather than one further out of town, and that's something that I would suggest to others. Finally, the backup support for the biking was always there ready if someone tired on the hilly courses.
All in all, and excellent experience due in good part to an excellent tour company.
January 8, 2015This trip was amazing. I have done many supported bike trips but this was my first with Amity. They are the best company I've ever worked with.
The... read more bicycles were excellent, well maintained and equipped.
The routes were planned to take us on the most scenic and least traveled roads so traffic was not an issue.
The hotels were wonderful with amazing views.
The food was delicious and exceeded all expectations.
What impressed me most was how hard everyone worked to make sure our experience was perfect in every way.
We felt safe and well taken care of at all times.
I give Amity and this trip my highest recommendation.

I highly recommend this tour company for anyone headed to the Lakes district.

August 24, 2019My girlfriend and I visited Pucon in October, and we had an amazing bike and hike tour with Amity Tours. From start to finish, every detail added to our experience.... read more Our guide, David, was a tremendous resource: he shared with us so much about the culture, the history, and the wildlife in that region of Chile. His great local knowledge was invaluable in making the most of our unstructured time. Our driver, Orlando, was always there for us with snacks, support, and a smile. Over the three days of cycling, we saw beautiful countryside and peaceful lakes. Due to the early spring weather, we weren't able to summit the volcano, but we substituted that with another phenomenal hike that brought us up above the tree line for spectacular views. One of the other highlights from our tour were the hot springs--pools filled with hot, volcanic water. The springs were a great reward at the end of the many kilometers we covered. Our accommodations were great and let us rest up for another day of adventure. This was a vacation we have not stopped talking about!

February 1, 2020My friend and I did a 6 day/5 night biking/wine tour of the Colchagua Valley. As there were only two of us on the tour, it was quite expensive. However,... read more we felt it was worth every penny. The biking was a good combination of challenging days with the emphasis on riding, and shorter, easier days with the emphasis on wine tours and tasting. Also, we always had the option of opting out as the driver followed us in the van. The hotels we stayed at were gorgeous. The wine tours were informative and even entertaining at times, and of course, the wines were excellent. We especially enjoyed the "blend your own wine" experience at Mont Gras. Cristian, our guide, was very thoughtful and attentive, always suggesting restaurants, wines and experiences that would show us a good variety of what was available in Chile. He was courteous, knowledgeable and fun! Our driver, Delila, was always friendly and helpful, and she was a very safe driver. I enjoyed every minute of this tour.
