Tell us about Los Glaciares
Having hiked Mt Blanc Tour, West Highland Ways, Kilimanjaro, Torres del Paine and many others, Los. Glaciares is a stand out for stunning scenery every day combined with challenging but doable hiking and great camping locations. The weather is changeable but is all part of the adventure.
Tell us about the Trekking
Luis was outstanding. Kind, thoughtful, always letting us know what to expect for the day ahead, what time we should be ready, consulted us on our views on timing of meals, was expert on wildlife/flora, each peak and glacier. No question was too much for Luis. His 20 years experience is very valuable. I would highly recommend this trek to other travellers. Not having to carry a tent, sleeping bag and food makes this trek manageable for many more people.
Something Else?
Swoop and Serac worked so well together and all the staff were exceptional from Jo to Gustavo and Viviene and Luis. I have a strong desire to eat healthy so avoiding sugar and fat and the team worked with me to make this doable without making me feel I was being precious!
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Patagonia?
Highly recommend Swoop and Serac as experienced operators providing really great service. Argentinian Patagonia is stunning. We had the tracks to ourselves for most of the trek except the Fitz Roy visit on the last day which makes it extra special. The glamping is amazing with cheese and snacks before dinner with a wine, and the food was home cooked and yummy.
Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?
I definitely want to see more of this area but will also look at using Swoop in future elsewhere.
Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?
Only gratitude for providing such a wonderful experience. Thank you Jo for your wonderful support.
How prepared and excited for Patagonia did you feel?
I felt really well prepared and was very excited for my trek. I was really happy that I took just the right gear and could keep warm when the weather wasn't so great!
