If you want to go on the trip. I will need to send Sydney your information and she will contact you directly. To get your 25% deposit.

You will be on the waiting list until I get confirmation that your deposit has been paid. Then I will move you to going.

The following is from Sydney our booking agent

Please note a few key points, followed by the next steps below:

Click here to view the itinerary

- The current pricing is for a group of 8-10 people, in double occupancy for all hotel stays (and in dormitory style rooms at the refugios) & a private guided W Trek. As discussed, if you have more than 10 people, the pricing for the entire group will go down; if you have fewer than 8 people, the pricing for the entire group will go up. We can arrange for single occupancy stays, but there will be a single supplement.

- I currently have complimentary holds for 12 people. Any additional people who'd like to join are welcome, but it will be subject to availability so please let me know ASAP if I should try to procure more spaces. We have all holds for 3 weeks, until September 20. All deposits must be in by then.

- The itinerary includes all services as detailed in the itinerary between pick up in Puerto Natales to drop off in El Calafate. I haven't included any services in either Santiago or Buenos Aires, but we can help anyone with transfers or hotels here if guests would like, or I can simply provide recommendations for hotels, neighborhoods, etc. for you all to book them yourselves (I suspect certain people will want to stay longer, etc).

- No flights are included in the pricing. You will need 2 internal flights: SCL-PNT & FTE-AEP. If you are comfortable booking these yourselves, I will advise on which ones to book to best coordinate with the itinerary. Alternatively, if you prefer more support, then we can facilitate that with Swoop's flight specialist (they can book international flights as well).

- For the Original W Trek, all travelers will be responsible for their own personal belongings for the 4 nights out on the trail. All bedding and food is provided, so there is no need to carry any gear, only personal items. If anyone would instead like a private porter to carry their belongings, porters can be hired for an additional fee of USD $720 for the 4 days; the porter can carry up to 15kg, which typically is enough for 2-3 people's belongings. You can of course also leave surplus luggage at the hotel in Puerto Natales.

Next Steps

- Please share this with your group and provide me with the names and email addresses of all members who would like to confirm, noting who would like to pay together.

I will then reach out to each person/group individually with their own (identical) itinerary and separate payment link to complete their deposit. For the time being, we will be confirming the trip at the 8-10 person rate; if more people join, then we will reduce the final balances of the entire group accordingly and I'll be sure to notify everyone.

- Once all deposits are in, I will confirm the services. Your final balances will be due 80 days prior to your trip start date. During this time, you'll remain in the care of the Swoop team, who will be on hand preparing you for your trip and ensuring its smooth running on the ground in country. All you need to do is show up and enjoy this epic hiking destination together!
