South America - anyone been?
|
|
Off to Chile and Argentina with a visit to Patagonia and the Iguaza falls...has any one been? Any advice?
I'm going in September so assume the weather will be spring like.
I would like to visit Javier Margas's restaurant - is it in Santiago?
Thanks in advance

Visit Iguazu Falls from both sides - it's completely different and well worth it.

I wasn't aware of a restaurant, just a hotel somewhere (Serena?) which burned down. And from memory, he was never very interested in keeping his promise.

Stay at Explora in Torres del Paine in Chile. Get down to Southern Argentina, Peninsula Valdes for whale watching and penguin colonies at Punta Tombo, glaciers near El Calafate.
Atacama Desert in Northern Chile. As OTB said see the falls from both sides. There is a hotel in the park on the Argentine side which is great as you can get up early and see the falls before the tourists arrive. Buenos Aires excellent city and I think better than Santiago. Two excellent countries, very big so prepare for lots of flights. I used Journey Latin America to help organise mine.

as dave said explora in Torres del Paine is a great place - spent a magical few days there a couple of years ago. They have a sister hotel on Easter Island which is just as good.Playa Vik Jose Ignacio in Uruguay is stunning as well. Jose Ignacio is much nicer than Punta del Este.

if youre not careful, you will get mugged sooner or later.
anyone with a bit of old school street sense should be fine.
