It is hard to believe that it has been over 10 years since I had my big patagonia adventure. Four other people and I went to Argentina in 1998 for five weeks, mainly staying in the Patagonia area. What a chance of a lifetime! Some of the time we stayed in private homes and other times we stayed in hotels. We really got to know the people and the culture and improved our Spanish or really Castellano, which is a combination of Spanish and Italian.
While we were there, we were treated to a variety of patagonia tours. Patagonia is a very large place, and among other things, we got to see Ushuaia, or the end of the earth, some glaciers, penguins, the beach, and big and wonderful estancias, or ranches and farmland. All in all, it was fabulous. We started our trip in Buenos Aires, which is not part of patagonia, and then flew down to Ushaia and made our way back up to Buenos Aires. We did our travel by bus and airplane. What great memories!
We actually flew into Santiago, before hitting Buenos Aires, but we didn't get to do any chile tourism. Well, that is for another time!
