Melanie returned in January from a 5 day W Trek in Torres del Paine<\/a>. Here she tells us about her trip and her experience in booking with Swoop and our partners\u2026\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

\u2018The trip was amazing! I had a great time.’<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0What was the highlight of your trip?<\/b><\/p>\n

The highlight of my W Trek<\/a> was seeing Las Torres. The weather was not very cooperative that day (rainy, cloudy) but our guide knew exactly what to do to maximize our chances of seeing Las Torres: we waited inside until a perfect window of opportunity presented itself, and we got a beautiful view of Las Torres. It was an exhilarating experience.<\/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

They were wonderful. Responded very quickly to my emails and very helpful in organizing the trip I wanted.<\/p>\n

How was the operator we put you in touch with, and how were their guides on the trip?<\/b><\/p>\n

They were great. Very organized, approachable and helpful. My guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, and always had our safety and enjoyment in mind.\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

\u2018Overall, I had a fantastic experience. Thank you to both of you for all of your help and I wish you the very best!\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
