Great post, Balzaccom. I remember you were asking about Patagonia last year. I'm glad you made it and had such great experiences.

Re: Patagonia
Patagonia is on my "must see" list. But in the meantime, similar scenery closer to home is in the Canadian Rockies and Alaska. I guess you could call these areas the "poor mans Patagonia".
How did the fianancial uncertainty in Argentina impact you? I worry about getting down there and then within weeks having my money worth something entirely different. Did you reserve all your lodging ahead of time?

Re: Patagonia
We did make all the reservations beforehand, and didn't have a single problem. Everything was flawless.
The only issue was that in El Chalten nobody accepted credit cards...So we brought dollars and also used an ATM there. But it had a limit of about $100/day...

Re: Patagonia
Riveting read and photos. Thank you for the vicarious adventure to such an amazing place.
I don’t need a goal destination. I need a destination that meets my goals.
