Stella AustralisOverall, how was your trip?
Patagonia Camp was an awesome 5 days. We all loved that part of the trip best. the staff was amazing, accommodations super and the overall VIBE of the place was great. Met super people there. We also really like Terra Luna. More rustic for sure but a great contrast.
In one sentence, what did you think of Patagonia? Did it live up to your expectations?
Fantastic and beyond my wildest dreams.
Would you visit again?
Yes
How was the service that Swoop provided?
Great places that we stayed. all transportation was perfectly timed. Loved our night at Coyoquie (sp). Really neat house with great owner. we never had to call anyone for help. Luciano K was amazing hotel. highly recommend it for everyone in Santiago.

How was your experience in Aysen?
Terra luna more basic but I loved it. we had one cottage for all 3 of us which was fun. the staff were really great. the owner is a bit of a pain but we were not surprised. It didn't matter cuz we met so many really cool amazing people there. That was the place with the most interesting other travelers.
How was your experience in the Lake District?
Gorgeous. We drove to Patagonia Park one day and saw the lodge and spent some time there. It was wonderful
How was your experience in Santiago and the surrounding area?
Luciano K--Perfect we just hung out and walked around and hit some museums. We had a good tour there one day.
How was your time in Tierra del Fuego?
Wonderful experience. Guides good. Drivers were always amazing -no trouble with anything
How was your experience in Torres del Paine?
This was our favorite place EVER Our guide, Niko, was amazing. We had him for all four days. great excursions. fantastic accommodations.
How was your Patagonian cruise?
Once in a lifetime trip. I would not go on another cruise for a vacation. For a boat it was amazing but we all decided that we don't really like to be on boats. I loved the excursions. They were the highlight. Logistics were fine. We did not need a guide when we got off the boat as they were only with us for 30 minutes and it was a waste to pay for the service. plus they took us to the airport where we had to wait for 4 hours.
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Patagonia?
Be flexible. Enjoy the small stuff. Talk to fellow travelers. Be ready for long car rides and bumpy roads.
