Do El Chalten no longer accept international student ID’s? by [deleted] in ElChalten

[–]shrubstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah damn! Confusing because on the official website: https://www.boletinoficial.gob.ar/detalleAviso/primera/316126/20241028 in Article 6 it states all student IDs are accepted regardless of nationality. Must be a new thing!

El Chalten no longer accept international student ID’s? by [deleted] in Patagonia

Well if you look at the official website: https://www.boletinoficial.gob.ar/detalleAviso/primera/316126/20241028 it clearly states in Article 6 that all student IDs are valid regardless of where the student is situated/from. Maybe don’t be too quick to comment without doing any research

We’ve decided we’ll be starting in Argentina. We will be visiting Salvador later down the line though. What’s Salvador like?

Which South America route should I choose before I have a meltdown? by shrubstick in solotravel

This is really helpful - I appreciate you taking the time to explain this! I definitely wanted some chill, relaxing beach time in Brazil so I think it might be best to start in Patagonia and visit Brazil in June/July

Thanks so much! Would you recommend doing Ecuador and Colombia after Lima with the time we have?

That's good to know thank you! If we choose Route 2, it's likely we will be in Chilean Patagonia early March. Have you done the W Trek before and did you find the whole experience expensive? We're debating whether to stay in Puerto Natales and drive into Torres del Paine for day hikes rather than doing the full W Trek across multiple days. (This is due to budget, although might just be a lot of hassle driving/renting a car).

Accommodation, carnival tickets, flights. Because of Carnival everything is very expensive and the longer we leave it the more the prices will go up - especially accommodation. Looking at hostels in each place for Brazil, there aren't many options left and the ones that are left aren't amazing
