Walking on the Viedma glacier in the shadow of Cerro Torre was great. Warmer than expected. The other travelers I met were wonderful. The day and a night in Candellario Mancilla on the shore of Lago O 'higgens was magnificent.

Highlight - Really enjoyed the Fitz Roy hike in El Chaten I thought having a guided W Trek added a lot to the experience. Would definitely recommend a guided trek.

The trip was incredible. The destinations are wild, unique, and absorbing. Every location took hold of us and offered so much more than we could do given our two weeks in the area. We found the people very pleasant and friendly, and the guides at the independent operators were knowledgeable, skillful and committed to ensuring that our family had the best experience possible. We were surprised by exceptional weather with clear skies all day but one! Coming down from the pass to Grey Glacier was unforgettable, as was Perito Moreno and Laguna los Tres.

Highlight: Puerto Varas generally and Valparaiso - loved both "cities". With F & F the activities are being talked about the most - kayaking, trekking, riding, fishing etc - not all enjoyable while happening (trekking and kayaking were hard work) - but great achievements once done! Dolphins circling kayaks one highlight and watching them in the bay the next morning from our tent. Seeing Darwin frog in Tagua Tagua another. Barraco Lodge generally enjoyed by my 10 year old - dogs, hot tubs and watching helicopters taking off and landing!

The tour guide was exceptional. The views and hikes were perfectly matched to our ability (we felt stretched but not impossible) and interests (he best views!). We loved our group of people.

Travel arrangements worked surprisingly well, despite airline strikes. Hike to Laguna de los Tres was probably the highlight, but all locations had there own highlights. In Ushuaia the boat trip on the Beagle Channel, with visit to Penguin Island was good, and hike in Tierra del Fuego was a good start/introduction to the mountain scenery. Loved the vibe in El Chalten, the two hikes we did, in fact could have done with another day there. Torres del Paine also had similar stunning scenery, we even saw a puma. Our one disappointment was the quality of the food in the expensive Hotel Torres, possibly the worst meals we had in Patagonia (Mi Rancho in EL Calafate was the best). Out times in the cities of BA and Santiago were not so interesting, but then not why we went.

Great trip walking the w route with warm and comfortable refuges. Two long days walking but we were lucky with the weather and the other 2 days gave us longer to rest!

The trip was great. I wouldn't visit again because we had such amazing weather I don't think it would ever be better or happen again. We had three days of sun and no wind. The highlight was seeing Los Cuernos and the Blue Towers. I loved hiking through the different terrain and drinking the glacier water. If the weather wasn't so perfect I'm not sure I would've enjoyed it as much as the hikes were long.

Having been there, met others, spoken to lots of people on the ground, the itinerary that Swoop pulled together looks perfect. We were v lucky with the temperamental weather - which helped a lot - and the local partners were excellent. Best parts were the more arduous days and the rewards of the views gained.

Out of 24 days in Argentina/Chile, the highlight of our trip was definitely when we reached the look out at Mt. Fitz Roy - weather was perfect; clear blue sky with no signs of clouds. Amazing landscapes in both Chile (Torres del Paine) and Argentina (El Chaltén). My wife got to see the condor at close range - which also was kind of a highlight. Our guide (Juan from Serac Expeditions) was awesome. His knowledge and commitment clearly made the difference - and was the primary reason why you should do this trip with a guide, and not just on your own. What would we tell family and friends? Go there! You won't regret it.

The highlight was seeing the towers up close when we made it to the top of that hike. The French valley was an easy runner up. The landscape was stunning. We did not meet too many people as it was winter but the people we met both working within the park and the other hikers were great. I might take my grandchildren there as words would never do Patagonia justice. No surprises, we were well prepared and were ready for the trip.

Torres del Paine was amazing, Both the Explora hotel and the region. Calafate hotel was fine, but Pepita Morena tour and Estancia Christina were both great. The cruise from Ushaia was nice.

Our trip was amazing!!! The Torres Del Paine National Park is absolutely stunning. The rockfaces, glaciers, blue green lakes, waterfalls, and of the whitecapped mountains everywhere you looked was just picture perfect, even with the rain and hail in early March. Our guide Vicente really made it a great experience for all of us!!

There were many highlights, some via Swoop's efforts and others through our individually arranged trips. Landscapes are amazing, thank goodness my husband was driving on the lengthy trips. Wildlife at Iguazu was fantastic, from the coati's; monkeys, beautiful butterflies, tree snake (not my favourite). We met some really lovely people; were really impressed by the police & security in Buenos Aires and the cleanliness of the city. What to tell the grandchildren - it's hard to know where to stop, but I think the waterfalls on the Argentinian side at Iguazu were really spectacular. The main surprises were the bike racks on the BA trains - so efficient and space saving; the clear and simple directions when taking transport in Buenos Aires, particularly the lit up sign boards inside the train carriages ; the transport & tourist police - again not seen in London & very reassuring; the cleanliness of Buenos Aires.

The highlight was definitely the landscape and scenery. It is a well preserved area, away from human's craziness. The people in the Park were very nice and helpful.
