Tell us about the Trekking
Guides were excellent. Some participants should have been on an easier trek.
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Patagonia?
Take lots of US dollars to Argentina. The ATMs were useless as the maximum withdrawal was $50 and the fee $13.
Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?
I felt challenged with the weather and lack of Spanish. It makes my other travel seem easy.
Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?
Be more realistic with deadlines. Nobody should be threatened with losing their deposit and not having their reservation confirmed 8 months before the trip.
How prepared and excited for Patagonia did you feel?
I was adequately prepared for the weather which was challenging and the hiking, which I found easy. The ATM situation in Argentina was a surprise and quite stressful. I should have tipped the guides in Chilean pesos and saved my US dollars.
