An excerpt from Argentina's highlights catalogue. Focusing on Patagonia, my backpacker journey took me to El Calafate, base for an easy tour to Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, home to magnificent Perito Moreno glacier. Next, Tierra de Fuego, Ushuaia. Not the idyllic town one would expect, landscapes and wildlife in Canal Beagle made it worth. In Buenos Aires, much of hostel life, a million miles walked and profitable day excursions to Tigre and Colonia del Sacramento, in Uruguay.
