The picture above of Doubtful Sound says it all.  New Zealand has endless beauty and diverse scenery all on two small(ish) islands.  If you've ever questioned if it's worth it or not to make the trip, let us tell you: it is.  Start building that bucket list!  You can also see more of our pictures from the South Island here and the North Island here.

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!

This post has some personal commentary but focuses on sharing as much information, tips, and recommendations as we can remember them.  When we were planning our road trip, we had trouble finding the information we needed, so we hope that this can help you with planning your own trip around Patagonia.
