Sam returned in January from a W Trek in Torres del Paine. Here she tells us about her experiences on her trip and in booking with Swoop and our partners…
What was the highlight of your trip?
The geography I witnessed on my 5 day W Trek in Torres del Paine was absolutely stunning. Trekking through the rolling hills and craggy mountains for hours a day was an incredible experience. I never tired because I was constantly struck and energised by the beauty of its nature.
Did you manage to visit anywhere else in Chile or Argentina?
Yes – Santiago, Vina del Mar and Valparaiso.
How well did Swoop Patagonia do helping you plan your holiday, and finding the best trip or operator for you?
You guys were great! Thank you for everything!
How were our partners who ran the trek, and how were their guides on the trip?
They were great. Carlos was an excellent, informed and thoughtful guide. He made the experience unforgettable.
Was there anything that you wish had happened differently/or not happened at all?
Nope!
Do you have any tips for other people who are planning a trip?
It’s no joke when they say you could experience four seasons in one day – pack layers!
Also, I stayed an extra couple nights to see penguins and Punta Arenas is a bit of a sleepy town. Could have done just one there.
