This was my first time in Patagonia and it exceeded every expectation I had. These are a few of my favorite moments from the trip. I would love to come back and explore more one day! 🇦🇷🇨🇱
once in a lifetime type stuff, so grateful
Hi everyone, I was looking at flights from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia and from Santiago to Punta Arenas, and I noticed a significant difference in price. Flights to Ushuaia with Aerolíneas Argentinas cost, on average, about 2.5 times more than flights from Santiago to Punta Arenas. I’m wondering why that is.
I also noticed that, aside from the capital cities, there are no daily flights between Punta Arenas and Ushuaia, or between most parts of Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia.
Was not expecting an Aurora in El Chalten. Stayed up all night shooting these amazing colors from Lago Viedma.
I’m asking this because hiking boots are not very easy for me I’ve yet to find any that don’t weight my feet down and feel super clunky. I wear “TOPO” trail runners have been getting the same exact ones and hiking in them for ages. I see that there are lots of uneven rocks, okay same here especially in PA on the Appalachian. NO shoes stay dry in pouring rain or stepping in deep puddles. I’m thinking about just bringing two pair of my same shoes and extra socks. What works for you?
What works for you? I’ve seen that rven with packs that have rain covers water flows between your coat and your pack soaking your straps. I bought a belted poncho and also have multiple jackets already but need pants. It almost seems that the cheaper, rubber coated stuff works best but it doesn’t breathe at all. I also have the six moons umbrella but the Patagonia winds would say “hold my beer” lol. How do you say (mostly) dry and keep your gear dry? I used a compactor bag in my pack for Grand Canyon but when I was there it never rained.
The picture has nothing with it, it is just me and my nephews petting a wonderful Marga Larga Marchador
I'm going to Bariloche and the Seven Lakes Route in early July and would like some tips on what the weather is like there and what I should bring to prepare...
Is the cold really harsh? Is there already heavy snowfall at that time of year, or is it mild?
I'm asking this because I'd like to know what types of clothing to bring, from coats—whether they should be very thick or not—and especially if waterproof trekking boots are necessary or not.
Also, if you have any tips on places to visit on the Seven Lakes Route and Bariloche, I'm happy to hear them.
Was not expecting these sort of conditions when we woke up this morning...
Hi everyone,
My partner and I are planning a trip to Patagonia in January and February 2027. We’re both 30 years old and in good physical shape.
Our current itinerary looks like this:
We’re looking for advice on a couple of points:
Do you think we have enough time in each location, or should we adjust the itinerary? Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated!
Has anyone had prior experience using the dorms? How did you find them? Is there a way to make sure I can get a bottom bunk if I have a medical issue? Is it possible to change last minute if the fully equipped camping options are available? Are there plugs to charge your phone next to the beds? Should I be concerned about theft while sleeping in there? Any advice will be appreciated
Doing Fitz Roy hike tomorrow and wanted to catch the sun rise. It’s raining a little bit right now so the trail would be wet. Is 5 hours enough to reach Fitz Roy. I am relatively fit male and don’t make much stops but still want to be careful in this weather.
Want to spend about 1.5 months from mid October to late November in the Patagonia.
Doesn't matter if it's in Chile or Argentina but if I had to pick one it would be Argentina as I want to go to San Pedro de Atacama to go stargazing.
Basically I just want a place where I am reasonably safe, able to access nature easily, and able to find locals to do stuff with easily. Temperature doesn't matter but I'd prefer to avoid super touristy places as I want to speak Spanish as much as possible.
