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\/198167","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=198167"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198167\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":199441,"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198167\/revisions\/199441"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
