Stephen returned in early January from a trip to Patagonia that included a visit to Ushuaia, a Self Guided W Trek in Torres del Paine National Park, and a trip to see Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park. Here he tells us about his experiences…
What was the highlight of your trip?
The highlight of the trip was visiting Perito Merino Glacier. It was one of the most awe inspiring things I have seen.
Did you manage to visit anywhere else in Chile or Argentina on your trip?
My itinerary included, in this order, Ushusia, Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales and El Calafate
How well did Swoop Patagonia do helping you plan your holiday, and finding the best trip or operator for you?
Swoop Patagonia was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Swoop Patagonia to anyone considering a trip to Patagonia. Swoop helped make the best use of my time and also helped me identify the must things to do.
How were the operators we put you in contact with in Torres del Paine and Ushuaia?
The operator in Torres del Paine was excellent. Their service was spot on. They were very organized and kept me well informed. The accommodations they arranged for me were perfect. Everything went as planned.
The Ushuaia Operator was also very good. Great guides – very knowledgeable, enjoy their jobs, lots of fun and great food. You cannot go wrong recommending them to future clients.
Was there anything that you wish had happened differently/or not happened at all?
This is not your fault; it’s totally on me but I wish I knew I needed the Reciprocity Form completed and paid for before I left home. I was not allowed to board the plane to Buenos Aries without. I Lost a day of my trip because of it. I thought I could pay for it when I arrived. I now see this is mentioned on your website but with so much coming at me I did not see it.
Thank you so much for your help. My trip was an excellent experience. You saved me much time and the trip flowed beautifully. After I arrived I could relax and just go with the flow as a result of your help.
