Isabel returned in November from a W Trek in Torres del Paine<\/a>. Here she shares with us her experiences on the trip and in booking with Swoop and our partners\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018We had an amazing time in Patagonia and the W Trek<\/a> was a great experience!\u2019<\/p>\n

How were Swoop Patagonia?<\/b><\/p>\n

I thought that the service you provided was very good – you were helpful with the information you provided and responded quickly to any queries.\u00a0 I thought that the handover to your partners in Chile was\u00a0done very well and smoothly and that you were flexible in how you communicate with\u00a0your clients.\u00a0I would recommend you to any friends looking\u00a0to\u00a0visit Patagonia.<\/p>\n

How were our Partners who ran the trek in Chile?<\/b><\/p>\n

Our W Trek was well-organised and professional.\u00a0 In addition\u00a0to organising\u00a0the trek itself, the company was helpful in booking us bus tickets to\/from Puerto\u00a0Natales.\u00a0 I thought that the itinerary on the W Trek was great – a good mixture of longer and shorter days and comfortable refuges to stay in. Our guide (Carlos) was excellent – he spoke good English and was friendly and responsible. The only minor comment I have is that we passed by their office in Puerto Natales the day before our trek started as we had not been told where and what time to meet the next day.\u00a0An email confirming this would have been helpful.<\/p>\n

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

I’m not sure I’m able to pick out a single highlight – we really enjoyed the whole trip.\u00a0 We were in a group with three others who we got on very well with – we thought that five was a good number for a group.<\/p>\n

Did you visit anywhere else on your trip?<\/b><\/p>\n

We also visited Buenos Aires<\/a>, an estancia outside Junin (near BA), El Calafate<\/a>, the Bariloche<\/a> area and San Martin de los Andes.<\/p>\n

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

I would recommend that people planning a trip make sure that they bring all the recommended equipment as it all came in handy!\u00a0 Also do not carry more that you absolutely need to in your backpacks.<\/p>\n
