In September, Jenny took a memorable trip to Torres Del Paine National Park<\/a> in Chile. Jenny does an amazing job below of telling us all about her experiences, the trip highlights and what is was like travelling with Swoop Patagonia and our partners.<\/p>\n

Jenny\u2019s feedback<\/b><\/p>\n

Out of all the places I have seen in Chile during my trip (Santiago, Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Torres del Paine), Torres del Paine was absolutely the highlight. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

Not only was I excited about being in Patagonia, a wish that has been on my list for quite a while, but choosing an organised hike<\/a> with a tour operator was a very good choice as well. You can certainly do the trip by yourself; you will meet many people, the paths are marked very well, you can probably buy books that guide you through the park and its characteristics. But having a local guide just gives you the opportunity to learn so much more about what you see, about Torres del Paine National Park, its geology, flora, fauna <\/a>and history, and getting this first-hand information right away, with the chance to get answers to more detailed questions as well, is a clear advantage in my eyes.<\/p>\n

The trip on the W trek<\/a> was organised perfectly by a tour agency recommended by Swoop Patagonia. The operation manager and <\/span>one of the main organisers there were always very friendly and helpful whenever there were questions arising prior to the trip or even when urgent support was needed just the night before the trip. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

During the trip itself, even though parts of the hike were unexpectedly demanding (but still a big joy!), we always had enough time so we didn’t need to rush through the park, but enjoy the scenery whenever we wanted. The Torres del Paine National Park is a very special place, and I’m glad we were able to fully enjoy its beauty!<\/p>\n

The trip was a big joy not least because of our very professional and pleasant guide! Whenever we had questions about things we saw he was able to give us an answer. Whenever we needed a break or wanted to spend some more time at a certain spot, he would understand and make that happen. He was very caring and always gave us the information we needed about what was going to happen the day. He had a good sense of humour on top of it all, which made the trip special as well.<\/p>\n

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

I’m thankful Swoop Patagonia put me in contact with their local partners in Torres del Paine! I would definitely recommend Swoop to friends and family, because I think first-hand advice from people who know the region just makes planning so much easier. And Swoop is doing their job very well, as far as I can tell from my experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
