Southern Patagonia was majestic and stunning just as we expected, but Colin and I agree that it’s a very tough travel destination – so difficult that we’re conflicted on what to recommend.  We’ll get into the reasons behind our conflicted recommendation in this post.  Patagonia was one tough nut to crack on a budget and a bit of a letdown as a result.  Hopefully with our information, you can do it better!
