Nicholas' Trip Date:

2nd Feb - 22nd Feb 2023

What was your most memorable moment?

Our back packing trip in Aysen Region in the pristine remoteness of Cerro Castillio and Patagonia Nacionale prior to arriving in Torres del Paine set the stage brilliantly and Patagonia Camp and Torres del Paine were perfect capstones to an overall "Life Changing" trip to Patagonia. Most memorable moment for me while in Torres del Paine was seeing the towers after ascending to the base.

Which of the following best describes your adventure?

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

Be ready to travel for long periods of time on dirt and gravel roads.

Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?

Absolutely, i wish these pristine places can remains that way but I'm afraid they wont.

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

Be a little more clear about what a "confirmed" excursion really means. Patagonia Camp indicated that they could not be pre-assigned as we were lead to believe they were. Not sure where the miscommunication was but i was very disappointed there was no room on any day for a boat trip out to Grey Glacier. we were at the camp for almost a week. Not kayaking around the icebergs was also a disappointment as the advertisements lent one to believe we could.

How prepared and excited for Patagonia did you feel?

Both prepared and excited. As i mentioned Patagonia Camp and Torres del Paine came after we had backpacked for two weeks in the Aysen region.

Would you consider another trip to Patagonia with Swoop?

Yes

Would you be interested in travelling to the Arctic with Swoop?
