Looking to travel independently?

Many of our customers ask us to support them with just one part of their trip. They may need help deciding between glamping sites or want us to match them with a trek or other guided activity, but are happy to book their hotels and flights themselves.

1

Booking part of your trip with us costs the same as if you went directly to a local company in Patagonia, but there are some key differences. After you have booked with Swoop, you benefit from our expertise in matching you to the right trip or activity, along with access to our extensive advice and travel guides.

2

Swoop specialists, Danny, Chloe or Sarah, are based in Chile full time and know the ins and outs of all of our trips, having experienced many of them first hand. They can help match you with the right trips and a local guide over the telephone. When you’re confident you’ve picked the perfect option for you, then we’ll create your itinerary, send you a secure payment link for a small deposit to get your trip booked. You’ll then gain access to our Adventure Planner which is full of information to prepare you for your trip.

Joining a group tour is a great way to see the iconic sights of Patagonia, enjoy the camaraderie of being amongst fellow travellers, and keep costs down, whilst avoiding any of the stresses of travelling alone. We work with several different operators who run group tours and we run our own, too. Our group tours are especially popular with solo travellers.

Sam Ricketts - UK

Going into the process, I was skeptical about the value of hiring a facilitator to assist with the planning and logistics. We are typically travel do-it-yourselfers, so paying a premium was a hard nut to swallow. However, as the experience unfolded, the thoroughness of the planning Swoop and their local partner provided completely impressed us. Everything went according to plan, and at every refugio, we got exactly what we contracted for easily and pleasantly. Read the full review

The activities we did with Swoop providers were part of an extended trip in Chile. Every day we have spent in Chile (and a bit in Argentina) either with a Swoop activity or traveling on our own has been fun and enjoyable. We have met many great people - locals as well as other travelers. Read the full review
