If you do, also purchase some coca leaves to help you with the high altitude. It is definitely a worthwhile trip. In Bariloche, see if you can go to Isla Victoria - and see the Bosque de los Arrayanes. These trees are said to have inspired Walt Disney, YES THE Walt Disney, to create Snow White's trees that come to life in the forest,,,remember the 1939 animated film?! Anyway, it's beautiful there. I have 2 very special friends whose family are still in Esquel. So if you need anything while you are there, please give me a heads up and I'll contact them to help you out. You will love love love El Calafate and El Chalten! The hiking is wonderful! Super magical views of land and mountains! I am so super jealous that you are going to my favorite places on earth. Patagonia really ROCK! Hahahahahaha! Be safe and enjoy! Joanne Hi Stef,
