The Equipement for all the trip in Patagonia:

You'll also find easily people to share the trek...so you can even rent almost all the stuff. (Tents, Sleeping Bag, Stoves etc etc)

TIERRA DEL FUEGO

Flight company from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia: LAN. Originally the flight was at 12.00 but of course it was late!!!....

Weather in Buenos Aires: Raining. Arrival to Ushuaia at 17.00.

PATAGONIA: USHUAIA the last town of the world!!

Ushuaia is a very cute town. It's the most southern town in the world. At 22.30 it's still daylight. The air is very clear. It's not cold. At 17.00 22 Celsius and at 22.00 around 16 Celsius (Unusual for this period...cause usually is colder) Many tourists of all ages and many backpackers. If you want to buy something for trekking do it in Buenos Aires. It's much cheaper. Ushuaia is a touristic places and everything is more expensive. Thousands people come here to go to Anctartica too. The colour of the houses is something special...You can start from here the tour of Patagonia

Internet connection is not a problem. Just above Ushuaia you can see the Glaciar Martial. There is a wonderful view from there. 20 Km far from Ushuaia you can see the Lapataia Bay. The trekking around Lapataia Bay is 18 Km...I loved it! You take a "Bus Collectivo" and go to Lapataia Bay Park.
