Exploring Patagonia

It'll be tight but doable. The W is AMAZING! The full trek takes about 5 days I think. Be sure to stop also in El Calafate to see the Moreno Glacier, and splurge to go ice hiking on it - it's awesome! Andrea

buying hiking equipment in Patagonia
Posted on Feb 27, 2007, 20:50:02 by andrea
You would definitely be able to get gear in El Calafate or Ushuaia. I would say Barioche as well though I have not been there. I wouldn't wait until Puerto Natales (entrance to Torres Del Peine) as it will be a lot more expensive. Andrea
