Hello. Considering finally making my trip to Patagonia this February. I know inflation has run rampant in Argentina over the past few years but now that there is an active blue market is Argentina, esp Patagonia still pricey? Also I have some other questions. Im primarily going to trek.
1. Has anyone done El Circuto de los Dientes? Worth the trip?
2.Would you recomend buying the Aerolineas Argentinas discount coupon flight books? Are they practical to use or not worth the headache?
I know there is a reciprocity fee to enter Argentina. If I enter Chile by land to visit Torres del Paine is there a Chilena fee also? Thx

To answer some of your questions:
There is no visa/reciprocity fee to enter Chile (I assume you are on a U.S. passport). From past research, you don't save anything by purchasing Aerolineas Argentinas coupons. The flights will mostly cost the same and you have too many restrictions to make them useful. And expect things to be expensive in Patagonia. The Blue dollar just makes it less so. In my opinion, Argentina is no bargain. Traveling around this big country is pricey.
