Ros returned in early February from a solo trip to Patagonia where she enjoyed\u00a0 5 days of treks\u00a0and excursions based from an eco camp in Torres del Paine National Park<\/a>. \u00a0Here she tells us about her trip and her experience in booking through Swoop and our partners\u2026<\/p>\n

What was the highlight of your trip?<\/b><\/p>\n

The hike to the base of the towers at Torres del Paine and the Grey Glacier<\/a> boat trip<\/p>\n

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

I also went kayaking in Puerto Varas<\/a>, which was very good and I am now in Valparaiso<\/a> which is brilliant.<\/p>\n

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

The wildlife safari programme<\/a> at the eco camp<\/a> was ideal for me as a single traveller.<\/p>\n

Were you well looked after by Cascada & their guides on the trip?<\/b><\/p>\n

The connections worked smoothly and the guides were charming and very professional.<\/p>\n

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

The Sunday programme at the eco camp was uninspiring and rather a waste of a day compared with the other days, also it was a short day and when we got back to camp it would have been nice if we had been able to make a cup of tea or coffee.<\/p>\n

Second sitting at breakfast got a raw deal\u2026 staff were preoccupied with laying the tables for dinner and largely ignored us!<\/p>\n

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

Read the weekly programme<\/a> carefully some people thought they could do the hike to the towers on any day.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
