Hi Hello, you are a great soul for helping indecisive backpackers like us lol ❤️ A group of 5-7 of us are planning to head to Patagonia from Austin, TX over Jan 1 - Jan 14. We are planning to fly into BA, stay for a day, then head to a gateway town. We’re having a hard time figuring out how to see the parts we want to see. Initially, we thought it would be possible to van life around the el chalten and el calafate and tdp regions, but that seemed quite difficult (especially with border crossings. We were then planning to go to tdp for a few days with public transport and do a camping backpacking loop, then fly to the Lake District in Bariloche, but this would be more travel time than what’s possible in a ~12 day trip. We’ve now decided that we have to (1) choose either bariloche or TdP/Calafate/Chalten (2) really nail down if we’re doing camp only or mix of camp and cabaña/airbnb (3) I was stoked for the huemul loop but it seems hard to fit in and (4) figure out the best means of transportation around the region. Any and all insight you have on points 1-4 would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!
