What was your most memorable moment?

There were so many. Getting to the look out on the French Valley hike with my whole family is something that I will always cherish. The other guests that we met and had meals and adventures with were amazing as well.

Tell us about EcoCamp

Ecocamp was a dream! The location and the design and concept of the camp are world class, but what really puts is over the top are the people. The guides are amazing, as are the severs and everyone else we came in contact with.

Tell us about Torres del Paine

Yes! I have been planning to take a trip to Patagonia for many years. Right before we left on on trip I was a bit worried that I had built up Torres del Paine too much and was setting myself up for disappointment. It completely lived up to my expectations. You always see pictures of the Cuernos and the Torres, but the lakes and forests and and wide open expanses were just as amazing.

Tell us about the Excursions

The guides made the trip! I miss them all, Pochi, Pancho, Matais, Angle, Javi -- all of them! Yes, the guides made the excusrsions, fun and more interesting. Their deep knowledge about and love for the region is infectious.

Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Patagonia?

Stay longer. There were more things I would have liked to experience. Even just a day off to hang out at the camp would have been great.

Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?

My experience reminded me that getting away is a great way to reconnect with yourself and your family. Meeting people from around the world and having wonderful shared experiences is life affirming!

Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?

They did a great job. Communication was a bit tricky because we were in different time zones, but we would use them again in a heartbeat.

How prepared and excited for Patagonia did you feel?

Very! We especially appreciated the pre-trip zoom with the staff.
