Peter returned in January from a Multi Activity<\/a> Trip in Torres del Paine<\/a> where he hiked, biked and kayaked the W Trek<\/a>. Here he tells us about his experiences on the trip and in booking with Swoop and our partners\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018We had a great trip and everything worked really well\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n

How did you find Swoop and our partners?<\/b><\/p>\n

I would recommend both Swoop and your partners. I thought your partners in Torres del Paine were great and definitely went beyond the extra mile to help! Their staff were excellent, especially in Chile- super enthusiastic and helpful.<\/p>\n

What did you think of your itinerary, is there anything you would change about it?<\/b><\/p>\n

The Mountain Biking was harder than we expected, and actually, for the non-mountain biker, was probably more of a day trip.<\/p>\n

The walking part of the trip was brilliant \u2013 fantastic advice \u2013 \u00a0we could not fault this part of the trip. I only wish that day 2 could have been longer so that we could have made the whole of the French Valley on day 3.<\/p>\n

The boat trip at the end of day 3 was a tight squeeze \u2013 it might be worth warning people to arrive early \u2013 we nearly didn\u2019t get on and it would have been another hour\u2019s wait until the next one!<\/p>\n

How was the accommodation on your trip?
\n<\/b>
\n<\/i>We managed on two nights out of three in the refugios once we were there.\u00a0Lago\u00a0Grey hotel was a bit chaotic \u2013 they kept trying to charge us for pre-booked meals and refused to provide lunch boxes as we had not booked excursions \u2013 so bit of a shambles! The hotel itself was lovely, and the staff were very friendly, just rather confused!<\/p>\n

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

Our highlight was the hike on day 1 up to Torres Del Paine \u2013 this was on my bucket list!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
