Enchanting Chile

“I had a lovely trip to Chile on a Meet the People Tour. Our group met such interesting people and received such a warm welcome wherever we went. It certainly lived up to its name – we met so many Chileans. I can wholeheartedly recommend the trip.”

Sally Harrison, Surrey

“I fell in love with this beautiful country”

“Hugely enjoyable and very informative about Chile, its history and current economic, political and cultural situation, and fair trade producers”

“The producers’ warm appreciation of our giving time to come and visit was humbling, to us it was a privilege to be there”

“The scenery was fantastic throughout: mountains, rivers, waterfalls, volcanoes”

“Their welcoming friendliness and enthusiasm for Fairtrade inspired us”

“Cristian was superb – warm in his friendship, reliable, caring, competent, enthusiastic for the aims of Fairtrade, endlessly patient and cheerful”

“In his safe driving, help with baggage and general awareness of our needs Mario contributed beyond expectation to the success of our tour”

“The lunches were of local food produced by producers, farmers or the Mapuche people. They were Chilean food using locally grown produce”

“The scenery was amazing, I was not aware of how varied it is and I was very impressed by the friendliness of the people”

“We were entertained with great generosity and hospitality as well as good food”

“It was interesting to see the contrast between MiFruta, in the early years of its partnership with Traidcraft and Apicoop’s well established and efficient business with its long-standing co-operation”
