A really excellent resource for your trip is Patagonia specialist Swoop which as well as lots of helpful tips to fill in any gaps, can provide a tour for groups or as a bespoke package with optional add-ons that include Buenos Aires / Antarctica/ Falkland Islands, or even a short luxury cruise out of Puerto Natales into the Chilean fjords. You’ve picked the right time to go, October to March is the optimum visiting time. While the Argentine coast can be very windy, temperatures across the region are pleasant and the days long. I’m going to share some travel notes below, each bullet point pretty much represents a base (hotel or estancia) starting from leaving Buenos Aires. The best way to visit Argentina is to choose an airport, a region and/or a national park and stick to it. As for Chile, the lake district in the north and the island of Chiloé are well-established travel regions with good campsites, paved roads, hot-spring resorts and national parks. Here we go!
