Guide to visiting Patagonia
You can pack a lot into an adventure: explore volcano country in the north, hike the glaciers and peaks in Torres del Paine, and sail the wild fjords of Tierra del Fuego.
Why Patagonia?
When a world of azure lakes, rumbling glaciers, towering peaks, vast steppe, and diverse wildlife is beckoning, the question isn't 'why Patagonia', but when...
Experience the magic for yourself. Discover the winding trails of remote national parks where condors soar, road trip through untamed landscapes, experience traditional culture, explore ice-choked waterways, and sample delectable food in bustling cities. It's hard to do justice to the depth of the experience. It is a sensory awakening, an emotive reconnection with nature, and a reminder of the power and beauty of nature on a scale rarely witnessed.
Adventure is waiting, and it's more unforgettable and special than you could imagine. Now you just need to figure out what your adventure looks like...

Having Swoop plan the trip was essential. We would not have been able to duplicate what they did for us with their knowledge of the area. The amount of time we stayed in each place was perfect. The trip was incredible and we are so grateful to the Swoop team for all they did. Read the full review

The people at Swoop were so helpful and had such great advice. The Swoop website has so much information on Patagonia, and Swoop made such a difference in helping us figure out where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see and create a plan to make it happen.

Who are Swoop?
We're a group of wilderness-seekers, always searching for the road less travelled. We've been lucky enough to visit the ends of the earth for many years, and our network of partners and guides across Antarctica are as much friends as they are colleagues.
For us, adventure has always been a process of discovery, not only of our planet and its many hidden gems, but of ourselves. We believe that unforgettable adventures can change perspectives, so we've started out on our journey towards reducing our impact, and the impact of our customers, on the natural world we all enjoy.
Luke says
Nearly 20 years ago, I discovered a land at the bottom of the world that I fell in love with. Since then, I've made it my mission to help others who share my passion for the great outdoors, nature and wilderness, to embark on unforgettable adventures like mine.
