This is a trip I considered to do with my family before or after Debconf. We finally gave up for two reasons: - price.. A 5-adults trip like this is fairly expensive. That argument does maybe not apply to you. We were not considering driving down there because of the distances and the road status and the price of flights were really dissuasive when added to the price of Europe-Argentina flights - winter. This is winter and Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego is probably faily hard to travel in. As others pointed, it may involve going through Chile, crossing region where winds can be the strongest ones in the world. In winter, I imagine this not to be something really enjoyable. So, we decided we would come back in the future, probably at times where such traval will involve only two people (aka e and my wife) and in summer..:-) My personal opinion is that if you plan some tourist trip in ARG around Debconf, good places to go could be the North-West part if you enjoy mountains and the like. That could include a hook in North Chile as well, around Atacama, to see the best skies in the world. At least, this is what *I* would do..:-). Of course, classical stuff like Iguazu region is also an option... _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
