Catherine returned in March from a 10 week trip to Chile and Argentina, during which she spent 5 days on a Trek in Torres del Paine National Park. Here she tells us about her experiences on her trip…
What was the highlight of your trip?
It was a great experience and we were lucky enough to have great weather…One of the highlights of my whole trip was the W Trek in Torres del Paine that you helped me arrange.
How were Swoop’s partners in Torres del Paine?
Your partners in Torres del Paine were very accommodating and easy to work with. Besides the W Trek, they arranged for bus tickets and a stay at the lovely Amerindia Hostel.
How were your guides on the W Trek?
Our guide Armando was so knowledgeable about the area including the geology, the history, and the flora and fauna. He also had an amazing ability to spot wildlife.
How did Swoop Patagonia do in helping you plan and arrange your trip?
I really appreciate that you let me know that I could easily do the hiking out of Calafate to Parque Nacional Las Glaciares on my own. This helped me keep the trip expenses down and I did a lovely three day backpack there on my own — my first solo backpack! Thank you so much.
