Itinerary Advice-3 months i

Country forums / South America / Argentina

Hola. I have three months, the majority of which I will spend trekking. I arrive in Argentina Jan6. My itinerary which is set is this

Feb9-flight from BA to Iguazu

Feb12-Iguazu-Ushuaia

From Ushuaia I do the Dientes Circuit then head to Torres Del Paine for the Circuit approx 10 days

Next I head to Los Glaciares for the Perito Moreno glacier, the Huemul Circuit,5 days if weather conditions allow and hikes to Laguna De Los Tres etc. From El Chaltan I head to Villa Ohiggins via the back route and work my way up the Carratera Austral to do the Nahuel Huapi Traverse. I would have to be in Bariloche ready to fly back to BA on The 28th of March, flying back to Miami on the 30th.

I was thinking of two things for the first month of my trip until my flight to Ushuaia on Feb 9.

Option one-Take a bus to San Pedro de Atacama and explore the sights, taking a tour to Uyuni.From Uyuni I would just kind of village hop around Southwestern Bolivia slowly making my way back to BA. Its a lot of bus travel. Does this seem too much?

Option 2 would be to change my itinerary, I havent purchased ticket yet and fly to Puerto Montt and make my way slowly down the Carratera Austral, crossing over to Villa Ohiggins. and continuing south to TdP, Ushuaia and heading back to El Chaltan followed by Bariloche and BA. I love cycling and would love to cycle from Puerto Montt down to Villa Ohiggins but that would entail renting and returning the bike, figuring out wht to do with my trekking equip and hiking boots and shipping the bike back from El Chaltan. Dont quite know what to do,Its always hard to chose when there is so much to see. The big question is Would you take the time to go from BA to Bolivia and Northern Chile and then return to BA? IsAny advice appreciated.
