Martin & Julia\u2019s Feedback<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2018There are two things that you need from a\u00a0travel company:\u00a0real ‘hands on’ in-depth\u00a0experience of the country being visited\u00a0and an ability to understand the needs and desires of the customer travellers.\u00a0 Sally, Luke and the team at\u00a0SWOOP Patagonia had both.<\/i><\/p>\n

Having recently retired, we were looking for a once in a lifetime, 28-day visit to Patagonia – with the emphasis on landscapes\u00a0and wildlife.\u00a0 Sally quickly worked out what we wanted and what we were each\u00a0capable of doing, and proposed a great schedule,\u00a0with several unexpected suggestions that stretched our brief,\u00a0and activities that suited our different physical capabilities.\u00a0 Now back home, we can say the trip was wonderful.\u00a0 The schedules and pick-ups all worked, and Sally’s recommendations of Chiloe and Aguas Aribas were outstanding, El Chalten was great and our Cape Horn Cruise super.\u00a0 The Patagonian wind blew every day – but the weather was kind – the trip really delivered.<\/i><\/p>\n

\"1322\"<\/p>\n

I felt that Sally and the team really took the time to get to know us and our wants, and used their in-depth knowledge to deliver a great schedule and a wonderful string of places to stay, eat & drink,\u00a0things to do, wonders to see and experiences. \u00a0<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Whilst one destination is off our bucket list, we’ve added another – El Chalten and Aguas Aribas in the Autumn with\u00a0the Southern Beech forests turning red!!\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Thank you Sally, thank you SWOOP.\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n

Martin & Julia\u2019s Itinerary<\/b><\/p>\n

Martin and Julia began their trip with 3 nights to relax and unwind on the tranquil and untouched island of Chiloe<\/b>. They spent their days hiking along the rugged pacific coast, bird watching on the many tidal beaches and slept in a cabin on the beach.<\/p>\n

\"306\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The adventure continued by crossing into Argentina through a series of lakes and then hiring a car for few days to explore the stunning \u2018Route of the 7 Lakes\u2019<\/b> in the heart of the Argentinian Lake District<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"497\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Taking a flight south they then spent 5 days exploring the Los Glaciares National Park<\/b>, hiking to the Base of Mount Fitzroy<\/b>, taking time to stand and stare at the mighty Perito Moreno Glacier<\/b> and were wowed by the setting, service and seclusion of the Aguas Arribas Lodge<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"946\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Torres del Paine<\/b> was the next stop with 5 days spent hiking the trails of the famous W trek<\/b> based in the comfortable Patagonia Camp<\/b>.<\/p>\n

They then boarded a cruise<\/b> to explore the channels and glaciers of the Chilean Fjords<\/b> and were lucky enough with the weather that they were able to land at Cape Horn<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"1254\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They ended their trip with a few days to explore the vibrant, gastronomic and diverse Buenos Aires<\/b> based in a boutique hotel in Palermo<\/b>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
