Catherine returned in March from a 10 week trip to Chile and Argentina, during which she spent 5 days on a Trek in Torres del Paine National Park<\/a>. Here she tells us about her experiences on her trip\u2026<\/p>\n

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

It was a great experience and we were lucky enough to have great weather\u2026One of the highlights of my whole trip was the W Trek in Torres del Paine<\/a> that you helped me arrange.<\/p>\n

How were Swoop\u2019s partners in Torres del Paine?<\/b><\/p>\n

Your partners in Torres del Paine were very accommodating and easy to work with. Besides the W Trek, they arranged for bus tickets and a stay at the lovely Amerindia Hostel.<\/p>\n

How were your guides on the W Trek?<\/b><\/p>\n

Our guide Armando was so knowledgeable about the area including the geology, the history, and the flora and fauna.\u00a0 He also had an amazing ability to spot wildlife.<\/p>\n

How did Swoop Patagonia do in helping you plan and arrange your trip?<\/b><\/p>\n

I really appreciate that you let me know that I could easily do the hiking out of Calafate to Parque Nacional Las Glaciares<\/a> on my own.\u00a0 This helped me keep the trip expenses down and I did a lovely three day backpack there on my own — my first solo backpack! Thank you so much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
