Chris returned in late October from a W Trek based from an eco friendly camp in Torres del Paine National Park. Here he tells us about his experiences on the trip and in booking with Swoop and our partners in Chile.
‘We would definitely recommend the holiday to friends looking for a luxury holiday’
How were Swoop Patagonia and our partners in Chile?
The communication from Swoop and their partners was great, we had a good deal of info on the different options and you answered our questions very quickly. We found payment through Swoop’s partner’s website was easy to use.
How was your 5 day W Trek from the eco camp?
The tour itself was fantastic, the guides were really wonderful and clearly had a huge amount of knowledge about the area and the wildlife; they looked after us throughout our stay and made sure we were comfortable.
What did you think of the eco camp you stayed at?
The camp was great, especially the luxury domes which we would highly recommend. The food was also good with a good selection of options. I even tried yoga out for the first time as our whole hiking group went along!
Is there anything you would change about your trip?
One area that might be considered to improve was that my partner was unable to go hiking one day because she had an old knee injury and the hike up Torres Del Paine was very stressful to the knees. It would have been great to have offered her a place on an alternative tour for this day. As it was though, she did have a day of rest in our dome, which was quite good.
Did you visit anywhere else as part of your trip?
We visited friends in Santiago after the trip, but we didn’t fit in any other places in Chile or Argentina.
What was the highlight of your trip?
Our highlight of the trip was the trek to see the Grey Glacier, we were impressed with how close the boat took us.
