Chile

Quotes from our tours:


March 2007

”It was a most memorable experience, and all the arrangements went according to plan. I can't praise `Julie, Lidia and Javier enough for their care and attention to detail”

“We learnt so much, visited so many interesting places and organisations, heard so many encouraging stories and ate too much!”

”We all feel more informed about Chile and the attempt to improve lifestyles for some through fairly traded products. Let's hope it will expand”

“It was a fantastic experience” 

"I found that all my preconceptions about Chile were wrong and I came away with a very favourable impression of the country"

"A thoroughly marvellous tour, with a fine balance between Fairtrade projects and tourist visits - I shall never forget the Remembrance Tour"

"The highlight was going to the homesteads in the out of the way places, and see how women have really pulled together to earn an honest living. The welcome from these homes was overwhelming and their generosity was so sincere"

"The whole trip was very well planned and organised. It was obvious that a lot of thought and hard work had gone into the planning of the trip"


February 2007

"Another excellent producer presentation, it was lovely to visit the beekeeper family"

"The wild fruit collectors seemed a classic Fairtrade project. The equipment the premium has provided was simple, effective and easily maintained locally"

"All moving beyond words - each one special in its own way, inspiring, absolutely wonderfully animated characters"

"Julie is outstanding – pre-empted our every need, willingly goes that extra mile, and fun!"
