Patagonia: Majestic, But It Didn't Live Up To Its Name

Southern Patagonia, while majestic and beautiful, was a letdown for me.  Maybe I built it up too much in my head; maybe it was from hearing so many wonderful [possibly exaggerated] stories from other travelers; maybe it was how hard we tried to do it on a budget.  Whatever the reason, I was disappointed. 
 
Colin and I rented a campervan and road tripped around the Southern Patagonia, from El Chaltén to Ushuaia, for 16 days, September 1 – 16, 2017.  We had trouble finding information about how exactly to road trip around Patagonia, so we wrote about the details of our trip in our how-to blog, McPatton Manual.  See that post here.  

At the bottom of this post, there are photos of each of the major parts of our trip.  To see even more photos from the trip (which I highly recommend), check them out here, and for an EVEN BETTER visualization of the trip, see our YouTube videos on the playlist here.
