I'm in Patagonia at the moment presently stopping in the Casa del Pueblo in Esquel, safe parking, Wi-Fi, sat TV, good dorms, good kitchen, breakfast and a very nice young couple of owners. They have just told me mid November is the start date for some BP's, early/mid December for most and the rise seems to be about 30% but that probably does not include Ushiaia. I'm paying Arg$60.00 a night for a 6 bed dorm c/w bano which so far has been standard mas or minus 5% once you are away from the big tourist cities. But remember, January and February, Patagonia is completo. Just in passing, Argentina has a version of the AA called ACA and their hotels are very good value indeed, last night in the back of beyond up on the Pampas I was given a discount on production of my AA card from Arg$120.00 for mere mortals to Arg$80.00 for the blessed ones Ride safe and as cheap as possible.
