Tell us about EcoCamp

We stayed in a tent which was fine however it was a fair distance from Ecocamp and we were reliant on the guides to take us back to the tent if we wanted to leave dinner early. The first night we would have preferred to be an earlier evening; we didn’t get to our tent until close to 10pm to set up etc as we had the meet and greet, bag organisation then dinner. The hike itself was incredible and the guides Katty and Hans were absolutely amazing - I couldn’t speak more highly of them. Super knowledgeable, accommodating and caring.

Tell us about Torres del Paine

I’m so glad we did the O Circuit rather than the W, I really enjoyed the peace around the back of the trail. The trail itself was as described and amenities were fantastic

Tell us about the Trekking

As above, our guides Katty and Hans were THE BEST guides!

Something Else?

I felt the bag size and weight wasn’t clear in the information provided pre hike so we were surprised with the size of the duffles issued. The recommended clothes to pack would not fit in the duffels

Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Patagonia?

Get super fit and school up on the duffel sizes and weights! Bring good waterproof gear.

Was there anything else Swoop could have done for you to help you prepare for your trip?

Just more clarity re the pack size in relation to the recommended items to pack
