We know what it’s like to dream of hiking amongst the granite peaks and glacial valleys of the Andes, but what is it really like to visit Patagonia with Swoop? We decided to let our customers do the talking and share their experiences below

My group had a fantastic time even though our weather was less than ideal and un-Patagonian (according to our guides). We had no wind at all, and soaking rain for almost two days. That said, the glacial lakes are amazing, the snow covered peaks are awesome, and the magnificence of the environment is remarkable.

Many highlights, but possibly the strange highlight of being woken in the French campsite by thunderous roars from the glacier in the French Valley before trekking to the viewpoint to watch the ice falling. Landscapes spectacular, birds and flowers lovely. People friendly (especially away from the crowded trek on day 1) I’ll tell family and friends that it’s a trek worth doing. Most magical moment... getting to the viewpoint on day 1.

The highlight of our trip was our guide, Jose "Chacho" Navarro Jorquera, a contractor to Antares Patagonia--he surpassed our expectations in every way--he facilitated our entrance into Torres del Paine, he made sure we were comfortable, gave us an overview of what to expect on our hikes each day, went out of his way to find new birds for us to watch, and was friendly and polite to everyone on the trail. The surprise, if you can call it that, was that we had several days of absolutely jaw-droppingly good, clear weather with fabulous views of the mountains, including the Torres and Los Cuernos.

Seeing a glacier for the first time was indescribable. The weather was wild, we had our heads down as we hiked because the rain and wind were coming at us sideways. My husband actually thought it was hailing due to how hard the rain drops felt as they hit our faces. We started up a hill to a look out of Grey Lake and when we hit the top we saw they most stunning glacier, the Lake was this soft velvety grey, and to the right the sun was shining through the clouds and lighting up the snow covered mountains. It was this mix of crazy chaos from the wind and rain and the most peaceful joyful moment of seeing such incredible beauty. As we headed down the hill my son told me that he thinks he just had the most amazing experience of his life.

The highlight was probably the whale watching and the penguin colony on Peninsula Valdes. The wildlife, landscape, people were amazing as usual! Unfortunately (and this was known to me in advance) the food in Patagonia leaves much to be desired....

The trip was incredible! We really lucked out on the weather. On our first day, the Towers were gorgeous and getting to visit the Britanico Valley was spectacular, despite being long, somewhat difficult days of hiking. The picturesque views on day two could not be beat, especially as coming into Los Cuernos. We really loved the experience with our group, both the other people and our guide, Mauricio.
