Since we are now NOT going to to Tanzania this January due to recent unrest in the country...
...my wife and I are NOW planning to go to trekking in Patagoniain late January 2026.
We will be mostly in Argentina, but will be in Chile for Torres del Paine NP.
We are looking for recommendations for guides and birding locations in 2 areas:
1 - We are planning several days in Buenas Aires prior to our tour and are interested in day trips in and around that area.
2 - Near the end of our tour, we will have 2 free days in Ushuaia. Here, we are thinking one day cruising the Beagle Channel and seeing the penguin colony on Martillo Island, then one day birding in Tierra del Fuego NP.
We will also be hiking and have some free time in these locations, but don't think we'd have time to get a guide:
*
El Chalten
*
El Calafate
*
Puerto Natales
*
Torres del Paine NP
Thanks for any info.
Please send off list.
If anyone else wants the info, I can compile it and forward.
