Hello,
I'm planning a trip to Patagonia for the last 1.5 weeks in November.
Was doing some research, and thought I'd get some opinions about a possible schedule.
I have 10 days, total.
Travelling with parents, who are Sr. citizens, so not into too much extreme hiking.
Am I trying to pack in too much?
Does it make sense to drop the Bariloche piece of it?
Missing any "must sees" around Calafate area?
The primary reason for the Punta Tombo portion of the trip is that one of the folks travelling really wants to see penguins, and seems like they are in most abundance in that reserve.
Thanks!
