Daniel embarked on an independent W Trek<\/a> organised by Swoop and one of our partners who support independent trekking Torres del Paine<\/a> in mid December 2013. Here he tells us about his experiences and provides some advice for future visitors\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018The trip was amazing, I really loved it. The service with all things prepaid was really great and there were no problems at all 100% perfect.\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n

\"daniel<\/p>\n

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

I think I really liked the French Valley<\/a> best but it\u00b4s so difficult to answer because I think every place was unique in its way<\/i><\/p>\n

Did you manage to visit\u00a0anywhere else\u00a0in Chile or Argentina on your trip?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes I had the opportunity to visit Santiago<\/a>, Ushuaia<\/a> and Buenos Aires <\/a>as well.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"daniel<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Very well, everything was smooth from start to end.<\/i><\/p>\n

How was the\u00a0operator we put you in touch with in Torres del Paine?<\/b><\/p>\n

Really great nothing to complain about<\/i><\/p>\n

\"daniel<\/p>\n

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

Nothing.<\/i><\/p>\n

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

If you\u2019re planning to hike the W Independently<\/a> then be prepared with good gear. <\/i><\/p>\n

I also strongly recommend Swoop\u2019s service to pre-book all of the refugios inclusive of food because then you can have a lighter backpack and have more time to relax and enjoy the environment in a good way.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
