Valerie returned in early February from a 3 day trek in Ushuaia, experiencing the valleys, forests, lagoons and summits of the Montes Martial Circuit. Heres she tells us below about her experiences on the trek, and in booking through Swoop Patagonia…
‘I really enjoyed the 3 days on the trek and the guides helped to make the time special. I know anyone who decides to join this trek will truly enjoy themselves.’
What was the highlight of your trip?
There were so many highlights, it’s difficult to pick just one, but possibly the camping spot was so beautiful beside the calm lake with the mountains rising above the lake.
Did you manage to visit anywhere else in Chile or Argentina on your trip?
We stayed pretty much around Ushuaia, but did visit more of the Tierra del Fuego park, and took a Beagle Channel cruise to Penguin Island-beautiful!
How well did Swoop Patagonia do helping you plan your holiday, and finding the best trip or operator for you?
Swoop looked after all details, all we had to do was pick up our backpacks, sleeping bags and pads the day before the start of the trek-everything else was taken care of!
Were you well looked after the operator we put you in touch with & their guides on the trip?
The company looked after all the details…and the guides were excellent-they helped us so much while actually trekking and at the camping spot!
Was there anything that you wish had happened differently/or not happened at all?
The trek was great and I can’t think of anything to change!
Do you have any tips for other people who are planning a trip?
Be prepared for the wet weather and mud-makes the trek interesting but when outfitted in wet weather gear, so much more comfortable!
