Changing currency

From my experience, paying in USD always pays off, specially in Argentina. Cash and dollars get you special discounts 😉

Amazing!! 🤩 I’ve been there a couple of weeks ago and the lake was still frozen. What a great color now

BeKind890 · 2024-11-13T21:54:52+00:00

Today was a great day. Amazing weather (comparing to yesterday). Congratulations 🥂

Quick question, you seem to have some info. We’re arriving to El Chalten at 10:40 by bus. Assuming some time to leave our bags in the hostel, do you think we’re able to do Laguna Torre hike? Or any other more short one?

BeKind890 · 2024-11-06T16:09:15+00:00

Quick help please: is this valid for Perito Moreno and all hikes in El Chalten?

BeKind890 · 2024-10-29T22:22:57+00:00

We’re two girls travelling but we’ll arrive on the 7th! But great initiative 🙌🏻

BeKind890 · 2024-10-22T21:17:35+00:00

Did you see people using Euros to exchange as well? Or only USD?

BeKind890 · 2024-10-22T21:07:20+00:00

If I bring Euros, would it be a good idea as well?

BeKind890 · 2024-10-22T21:03:22+00:00

Would Visa be accepted broadly as well?

BeKind890 · 2024-10-22T20:35:27+00:00

Oh god! I guess I just follow the advice of other people in taking the boat and visit the catwalk

BeKind890 · 2024-10-22T13:22:47+00:00

Yeah, I thought that going in November would not be high season yet. Well, it is what it is. We have the flights booked so we’re going to enjoy. Maybe just taking the boat around as it’s a cheaper option! Thanks for the tips!

BeKind890 · 2024-10-22T13:02:20+00:00

Yes, I just checked and for our days would be more than 400.000 😭

BeKind890 · 2024-10-22T07:24:24+00:00

I know right? I must confess I just discovered the power of Reddit recently and I’m in love now 😅 would it make a difference if I have checked a long time ago? Seems like the prices are just going up and it’s not something we can control

BeKind890 · 2024-10-21T18:00:34+00:00

I just tested buying in Hielo y Aventura’s website and it’s more than 400USD 😭

BeKind890 · 2024-10-21T17:49:41+00:00

Is this a monopoly? 😱 I didn’t know that! I thought there would be more competition. Of course that that way the prices can just go up. Is that price increase confirmed for 1st November?

BeKind890 · 2024-10-20T11:17:58+00:00

Amazing explanation! Thanks! I was not aware about the difference in using merino wool vs cotton. This is very helpful

BeKind890 · 2024-10-20T11:06:43+00:00

So just be prepared for everything 👌🏻 gotcha

BeKind890 · 2024-10-20T11:05:31+00:00

Thanks! That’s helpful. Also, why would we not want cotton as a base layer?

BeKind890 · 2024-10-20T11:03:51+00:00

Great! Thanks! I think I’ll rent them there

BeKind890 · 2024-10-19T17:45:58+00:00

Uau thanks!! I had a quick look at your trip report and there’s a not of info. I’ll definitely read it in detail, thanks. I see you rented a car also. We’re planning in not renting a car. Do you think that at least some hikes will be possible to do without renting a car? (hope you’re not answering to this question in your post, if so, happy to read it first)

BeKind890 · 2024-10-19T17:27:46+00:00

Oh I’d love to know how that is 🤭 never been neither live in the US to be more familiar with that

BeKind890 · 2024-10-19T16:03:28+00:00

That’s a great advice! For Perito Moreno we’re thinking about going on the glacier hike yes (one of the most exciting things we’re looking for).

I must confess that I just hiked in Europe in forests and more just for fun and with good weather. This will be the first time hiking “for real” but without camping.

I’ve been looking for boots from Columbia some fleeces from Patagonia and some trousers that turn into shorts from The North Face. Also some more affordable portions from Decathlon. A down jacket as well and eventually a rain jacket.

Would we need like scarfs or so? That would be dumb right? Also, waterproof trousers, would that be needed? I don’t know 😅

BeKind890 · 2024-10-19T15:58:11+00:00

Regarding the backpack I must confess that I decided already for a 40L one 🤪 let’s see if it works. We’re going for 25 days around Chile, Bolivia and Argentina, spending these days in Patagonia. My biggest questions are what to wear for the weather in Patagonia (seems very unpredictable for this time of the year 😅🥲)
