The trip was extremely very well pieced together by Swoop and then by Chile Nativo. The people I met were incredibly beautiful and helpful. I unfortunately twisted my knee very badly on Day one of the trek up at the Towers and I literally staggered down the mountain back to Las Torres Refugio. The next day I bought trekking poles and ended up soing the entire trek on one leg using the poles as crutches. On day two there was a young Chilean girl who was also trekking alone and she insisted on accompanying me for eight hours all the way to Cuernos. I am home mow and we chat eveyday like sisters - I cannot say ENOUGH good about the Chilean people.

On the third day there was an option for extending the hike. Those of us who wanted to go to the next lookout split off and we had so much fun with our guide (Matti) trying to beat the clock and make it to the look out and back to the refugio for dinner time. We ended up having plenty of time and it was a fun day of bonding with the group and our guide, and of course taking in the great views!!

Hiking into the 90km wind with rain on the way to Grey. Experienced an extraordinary variety of conditions-we were lucky

Mirador Británico on Day 3 - not part of the schedule but the weather was so perfect we went a few extra km, which was totally worth it.

Our guides (Marcella and Kata) were incredible! They were so enthusiastic, prepared, kind, educated, funny... I could go on and on. We were lucky to have a great group of fellow hikers and had a blast with our group. My favorite moments were (1) at the British lookout - it was a clear day and the views were amazing and (2) during our ice hiking on a glacier.

The highlight was the guide, Chuma from Chile Nativo. Landscapes were beautiful, but did not see as much wildlife as advertised. Really enjoyed the hikes and the people.

There are too many memorable moments every day to pick one; W-Hike, getting to know the unexpected (by me and my 2 traveling companions) 7other people in our W group, including the 2 great guides, looking at huge glaciers close up and from wonderful other vantage points, hiking to Fitz Roy, seeing penguins.

Overall the trip was really good! No particular surprise, the trip was detailed enough in advance that we knew what to expect. Every day was a highlight with always new beautiful landscapes. Cool people in the group and super nice guide!

Spending the five days exploring Torres Del Paine national park were unforgettable. I enjoyed being completely immersed in the place and moving through the different areas over the 5 days.

The views were absolutely breathtaking and getting to know the other trekkers and our guides over 5 days was a very special memory.

I most enjoyed the time our group spent together dealing with unexpected changes and challenges to complete this trip. Our experience brought out the best in all of us and teamwork.

So many I can’t choose one. The hiking through spectacular scenery with a knowledgeable, thoughtful, fun, capable guide enhanced the experience.

My most memorable moment was watching the Perito Moreno Glacier come into view! A very spectacular sight to share with my family!

The entire trip was amazing but the kayaking and ice hiking was a special way to end.

On our last full hiking day, going around Paine Grande with the wind whipping and the first snows of the season beginning to fall and starting to get peeks of icebergs floating in Lago Grey. Such a cool portion of the trek, though starting to get bittersweet as I knew we were almost at the end

When Cata and Hector would say throughout the day “With passion!”. They are amazing! Their love of Patagonia and Chile was infectious. Feel that I have made two new life long friends. People in other tour groups told me they wished Cata and Hector were their guides. Everyone in the refugios could see that we were having a great time. Cata and Hector complimented each other so well.
