Heather took a guided W Trek in Torres del Paine <\/a>in early December, and here she tells us about her experiences\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018I loved the trip, and highly recommended\u00a0the trail and your company\u00a0to everyone I spoke to.\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n

What was the\u00a0highlight\u00a0of your trip?<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to pick a highlight; I thought the whole W Trek<\/a> was really great. I enjoyed the hiking, especially the second day (to the Torres)\u00a0and the fourth day (through the French Valley<\/a>).<\/i><\/p>\n

How well did\u00a0Swoop Patagonia\u00a0do helping you plan your holiday, and finding the best trip or operators for you?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Swoop was excellent; very responsive and helpful to all of my questions concerning traveling and planning my trip.\u00a0 It was so helpful for me because I did everything so last minute.<\/i><\/p>\n

How was the\u00a0operator, and how were their\u00a0guides\u00a0on the trip? \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

My guide (Carlos) was excellent; he knew the area, terrain and environment, and spoke English very well. He knew when and where it would be windy and the best places to stop to take breaks.\u00a0 He was also just a really nice guy.<\/i><\/p>\n

Was there anything that you wish had happened\u00a0differently\/or not happened at all?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The only thing I wish for was that I was with a big group rather than with a private guide (but that’s my own fault for planning too late).<\/i><\/p>\n

Do you have any\u00a0tips\u00a0for other people who are planning a trip?<\/b><\/p>\n

Carry as little as possible on your back:)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
