I have long been fascinated by the wonders of the southern tip of South America, in both Argentina and Chile, as well as the jumping off point for exploring the fantastic scenery and wildlife of the Antarctic.

Much as I would love to visit South America; apart from the two poles this is my last continent, I still find South America expensive compared to say Southeast Asia.

My wife and I are passionate independent travelers. We are definitely not back-packers, are of an age where we appreciate comforts but want excellent value for money. Do you have any suggestions for Patagonia or indeed South America?
