Four years later she went to work in the remote Patagonian region of Aysen where she discovered trekking, the great outdoors...and her future husband. From this base she went on to trek in Torres del Paine and throughout Patagonia, Bolivia and Peru before going to University. When Harriet returned to the Andes she did so with her bicycle and spent two and half years biking and mountaineering throughout the Andes, climbing 8 of the 12 highest Andean peaks completely independently. Harriet joined the Swoop team in 2014 and on her most recent visit to Torres del Paine and El Chalten she checked out both the traditional hiking trails and some off the beaten track trails that she likes helping our customers to discover.\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/author\/harriet\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"The Lost Lodge of Lago del Desierto - Swoop Patagonia Blog","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/lost-lodge-lago-del-desierto\/","og_locale":"en_GB","og_type":"article","og_title":"The Lost Lodge of Lago del Desierto - Swoop Patagonia Blog","og_description":"The Aguas Arriba is a treasure set away from civilisation and accessible by boat or on foot. There is no doubt that this in an exclusive experience and those that stay there are incredibly fortunate to experience such a stunning place. Igor and Pato are wonderfully welcoming and their smiles are forthcoming. It is like being welcomed into their little world and you can share their passion and excitement for the setting and surroundings of the lodge.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/lost-lodge-lago-del-desierto\/","og_site_name":"Swoop Patagonia Blog","article_published_time":"2015-04-02T16:35:56+00:00","article_modified_time":"2016-11-25T15:23:10+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/01-Picked-up-by-Joakim-and-Ivor.png"}],"author":"Harriet Pike","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Harriet Pike","Estimated reading time":"1 minute"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/lost-lodge-lago-del-desierto\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/lost-lodge-lago-del-desierto\/"},"author":{"name":"Harriet Pike","@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/3dd7f45c9e1e2475ae67257e1015f233"},"headline":"The Lost Lodge of Lago del Desierto","datePublished":"2015-04-02T16:35:56+00:00","dateModified":"2016-11-25T15:23:10+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/lost-lodge-lago-del-desierto\/"},"wordCount":284,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/#organization"},"keywords":["Aguas Arriba","Hotel","Los_Glaciares"],"articleSection":["Hotels","Los Glaciares"],"inLanguage":"en-GB"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/lost-lodge-lago-del-desierto\/","url":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/lost-lodge-lago-del-desierto\/","name":"The Lost Lodge of Lago del Desierto - Swoop Patagonia Blog","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/#website"},"datePublished":"2015-04-02T16:35:56+00:00","dateModified":"2016-11-25T15:23:10+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/lost-lodge-lago-del-desierto\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-GB","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/lost-lodge-lago-del-desierto\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/lost-lodge-lago-del-desierto\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Lost Lodge of Lago del Desierto"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/","name":"Swoop Patagonia Blog","description":"","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-GB"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/#organization","name":"Swoop Patagonia Blog","url":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-GB","@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/swoop-patagonia-logo-blog.svg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/swoop-patagonia-logo-blog.svg","width":1220,"height":108,"caption":"Swoop Patagonia Blog"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/3dd7f45c9e1e2475ae67257e1015f233","name":"Harriet Pike","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-GB","@id":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e33e06e30726ed0e60a3391df97d858517831baf6d2f8480ef53e99d307e64f9?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e33e06e30726ed0e60a3391df97d858517831baf6d2f8480ef53e99d307e64f9?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Harriet Pike"},"description":"Harriet first started planning a trip to Patagonia at the age of 14 when her parents returned from a holiday there. Four years later she went to work in the remote Patagonian region of Aysen where she discovered trekking, the great outdoors...and her future husband. From this base she went on to trek in Torres del Paine and throughout Patagonia, Bolivia and Peru before going to University. When Harriet returned to the Andes she did so with her bicycle and spent two and half years biking and mountaineering throughout the Andes, climbing 8 of the 12 highest Andean peaks completely independently. Harriet joined the Swoop team in 2014 and on her most recent visit to Torres del Paine and El Chalten she checked out both the traditional hiking trails and some off the beaten track trails that she likes helping our customers to discover.","url":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/author\/harriet\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197166"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":198560,"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197166\/revisions\/198560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
