    Even including Chalten and Calafate, you've only just covered a part of Southern Patagonia, which is great for hiking, but that's not even a quarter of Patagonia. Patagonia also has the entirety of Carretera Austral, Chile Chico, Chiloe, Bariloche, El Bolson, Patagonia National Park, San Rafael glacier, Osorno, Pucon.

Really, so well done. I am so excited to now go through your channel and look through your other videos that interest me. only one small piece of advice, the sound quality.. please improve it, on noise canceling headphones I had to keep the volume super low, for some reason the sound on this video was super jarring.

    Thank you so much for all the information you shared in this blog. I am planning a trip to Torres del Paine in Feb-March 2023 and I have the following questions: What time of the year did you travel as I see you enjoyed fine weather there. There was a picture of you standing on the edge of a lake with the reflection of the Paine Horn and other mountains which seems amazing. What is the name of this vista point and how to get there? Lastly, I am finding it difficult to find information on local transport between places within the park. For example, we would like to go to Refugio Chileno from Amarga or from Estancia Pudeto to Hosteria Pehoe. Any information will be appreciated.

Additionally, we got around with the hotel transport or the bus system! I hope that helps your planning. Happy travels!

    Hi, am planning a trip to El Calafate from LA. How did you find such a good deal from NYC to Chile side? Is that normal or a special deal? So far the cheapest is COPA airline which is close to 1KUSD.

    • @MahnaGhafori
      @MahnaGhafori  Рік тому

      Hi! I should mention the flight I booked was a special flight deal I found with United during covid, 1 way, and New Years Day, which is historically a cheaper day to fly. I definitely dont think thats normal prices now, especially with inflation and covid over now. It is still soooo worth the journey!

    Thank you for the video! Only thing I was thinking while watching this video was they have not been to Argentinean side of Patagonia, which was confirmed at end of the video.
    Torres del Paine National Park is beautiful, but it is really pain to get around unless you are doing one of the trek where as Argentinean side of Patagonia is really easy. For examples, all treks starts and end in El Chalten and you do not need to hire a guide. In Torres del Paine, you will need to hire a guide for all excursions. You can hire a car from Puerto Natales, but nearest gas station is in Puerto Natales, which is 3 hour drive away and it limits your driving in the park to minimal. You can stay in one of those hotels in Torres del Paine National Park, but expect to pay a lot of money ($500 - $2,000 a night during high season) for the privilege and you will need to hire a guide for all excursions in addition to accommodations.

      This is not a reason to criticize this, please do not take it wrong, but the "Torres del Paine" have those prices and difficulty for being inside a national park and being the 8th wonder of the world, that is why it is not possible to create roads or fill lodging because it would lose all sense of the park and the same "Torres del Paine" , on the side of the chalten and fitz roy, is much closer to the town and that takes away all the adventure because you do not travel much and you have the accommodations minutes away, greetings.

    You keep referring to the town of El Chatalen in Argentine Patagonia - it's actually called El Chalten. And I was surprised you didn't mention the hike to Cerro Torre, only about 4km from Fitzroy, but at one time considered the world's most difficult climb until some idiot drilled bolts into it's summit. It also could claim the title worlds most beautiful mountain.

    You've referred to the village close to Fitzroy, as El Chatelain on two occasions, whereas it's called El Chalten. You could have mentioned that directly opposite Fitzroy peak is the even more famous Cerro Torre, subject of so.much controversy over the years, and considered by many as the most difficult mountain to climb
