Argentina (Patagonia) experience?

[DaveB]

Hmmm, 3 travel-related posts in a row... there's no general "travel"/"locations" forum so here will have to do...


Has anyone here travelled to Patagonia? Particularly the region around Peninsula Valdes? I'm working on a possible trip itinerary for 2009 (primarily for wildlife of course, but passing through Buenos Aires) so any experiences could be useful.

Please post here, or PM me if you're shy.

Thanks!

I think it is Thom Hogan who has a lot of experience down there, although if you are considering going there you probably know this, I would look up his site and even email him for advice if you have specific questions. Although I have not been to South America that part of the world is pretty wild and challenging. It should be a great trip.

Thanks.
FWIW, Thom's 2008 Patagonia tour isn't going anywhere near my own Patagonian targets: we're planning to concentrate our work near the Atlantic coast before heading down to Tierra del Fuego. I may drop him a line in any case.

I look forward to your output. Cheers

Dave - I did Buenos Aires to El Calafarte in December almost two years ago. I went to see the Perito Moreno Glacier.

Only had 4 days down there, (needed way more)

Stunning place
