Country forumsSouth AmericaItinerary advice for Argentina and Chile in June/July#1

Hi all,

Looking for advice on this itinerary I am looking at following over the course of June and July. Does it seem ok or is it too much hassle to keep crossing the border from one country to another?

Buenos Aires -> Puerto Madryn

Puerto Madryn -> El Calafate

El Calafate -> El Chalten

El Chalten -> Bariloche

El Bariloche -> cross in to Chile -> Pucon

Pucon -> Santiago

Santiago -> cross back in to Argentina -> Mendoza

After this i am unsure which way to go as I am torn between continuing north through Argentina to Salta or crossing back in to Chile to go to San Pedro de Atacama. Which has more to see and do? If it make any difference i will travel north in to Bolivia after.

Thanks in advance for any info any can share!

Country forumsSouth AmericaArgentinaBuenos Aires itinerary help#4

HI,

Honestly, I don't think Buenos Aires is worth a couple of days. Iguazu is worth visiting on both sides, the experience is different. Look into Quebrada de las Conchas, it is very nice. I think i would skip Patagonia then as you won't have enough time to go there. I would consider going BA>Iguazu>Salta>Cafayate>Mendoza>BA and exploring those regions a bit. Or skip Iguazu and BA and go straight to Patagonia

Cheers
Maciek

Country forumsSouth AmericaArgentina17 Days in Argentina Itinerary Advice#1

Hi!
My girlfriend and I are travelling to Argentina for 17 days at the end of October this year (flying in and out of BA).
I definitely want to go to Patagonia but I'm struggling to grasp what the essentials are and what is doable in my timeframe. I'm up for some trekking and prepared for reasonably challenging ones but without being ultra serious.
I don't mind travelling to the Chilean side of Patagonia for Torres del Paine if it's recommended. I have looked into the W Trek there and would like some opinion on that.
I'm struggling to piece together an itinerary as the attractions I'm interested in seem very spread out. I'm sorry if my post seems quite open but I'm trying to get ideas.
I also want some time in Buenos Aires and to see Iguazu Falls.

Many thanks in advance

Country forumsSouth AmericaOne month between La Paz and Rio#1

Hi everyone,

I'm taking a tour that finishes in La Paz on about the 20th of November and I would like to travel onwards to Rio via Buenos Aires but my flight back from Rio is on the 22nd of December (or thereabouts, I want to be home for Christmas but that's optional).

I'm planning to visit Potosi, Uyuni, San Pedro de Atacama and Salta then fly to BA and spend a few days there. On my way from BA to Rio I want to stop by Iguasso and maybe visit Bonito and finally have a few days in Rio. Does this sound doable or will I need more time? Any guidance on the best travel options would be greatly appreciated too! I'm not too restricted on budget so I can take internal flights if I need to. I'm also a solo female traveller so would this route be relatively safe to take?

Thanks!

Although not as rough as the Australian ride on the Canning Stock Route, fasten your seatbelts one more time, chuck a coldie and pop-corn and hop on a smaller Toyota for a 5,003 Km ride through the relentless winds of la pampa and Tierra del Fuego, from Buenos Aires to Torres del Paine, Punta Arenas and Ushuaia…

This might be the last episode of the "Travelotherapy" series. Thank you very much for staying with us all these years.

Country forumsSouth AmericaPlease help me sort out an Itenary for south amerika in 2,5 monts#4

Okay thanks for your replies. I dont want to go camping on my own so I guess i will skip patagonia then. Buenos Aires is a bit out of my route, since I initially only wanted to go to mendoza and cordoba in Argentina. Is it worth the long bus travel to go to Buenos Aires for a couple of days?

Country forumsSouth AmericaArgentinaATM fees#10

Just arrived in Argentina (Mendoza), was negatively surprised seeing the ATM fee at the airport at a bloody 18%, BUT I just found out on the web that although the BBVA Frances bank charges 379 pesos you can withdraw 8,000 pesos fir that. That suddenly brings the fee to under 5% which, for Argentina, is excellent. I should have tried withdrawing more than what I read would be possible but I didn't.

I also read (but haven't tried) that you can withdraw twice, so 16,000 pesos in total.

Don't know if they use this policy in all cities. Maybe someone in Buenos Aires or so can check and post an update here so we can help others?

Country forumsSouth AmericaChileChilean food #10

And.... if you want good meat go to an Argentinean restaurant......

Now, who is joking?

If you want to enjoy meat find a Brazilian churrasco. Oddly enough, I have eaten a decent asado in Santiago, at least on par if not better than anything I've consumed in Buenos Aires.

Nice enough people chilenos but like colombianos, their culinary efforts are largely forgettable.

Country forumsSouth Americafirst time solo traveller in need of some much needed advice#1

Hey everyone hope you are all well and enjoying life.
On the 3rd of September I will be flying from London to Bogota, Columbia and then 2-3 days later I will fly from Bogota to Medellin. This will be the start of my first long-term(for me) and solo traveling adventure, I plan on spending 3 1/2 months in South America with a budget of $6000-$7000.
My first question to you all is how hard is it meet fellow travelers, I am quite worried about just being lonely all the time.
And for my final question I would you please review my plan, I'm not sure whether I'm being a bit too ambitious or whether I am overlooking anything.
My plan is to head from Colombia to Ecuador where I plan on going the Galapagos Islands, travel from Ecuador to Peru and then do the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, travel from Ecuador to Bolivia and see the salt flats, and then travel down chile and Argentina, visiting Patagonia then flying to Buenos aires then flying to Rio and then home.
PS I am a 23 year old male if that changes anything lol

Country forumsSouth AmericaArgentinaRE: Trip to Argentina 04/11/18-13/12/18- Itinerary help?? #5

Buenos Aires - 2 or 3 days (easily more depending on interests)
Cordoba - a couple of days
Mar Del Plata - don't bother - terrible place.
Ibera Wetlands - easily 2/3 days
Iguazu Falls- Puerto Iguazu - a couple of days
Nahuel Huapi National Park-Bariloche - 3-4 days (easily more depending on interest level)
Glaciers National Park-El Calafate - a day for the glacier

That's 12-15 days, however... it will take you a week in total to get from place to place so I don't think you have time for Mendoza or Salta.

re Esteros del Iberá - an alternative to Colonia Carlos Pellegrini is to enter the wetlands from the north - it's possible to get a boat from various places in/around Ituzaingó/Puerto Valle and it's a lot easier to get to this area ('buses or fly to Posadas).
