→Cost of Travelling in Chile and Argentina
====Cost of Travelling in Chile and Argentina====
Chile and Argentina are not budget or low-cost travel countries. Prices are similar or even higher if compared with the US North America and Europe. South of Puerto Montt where the Patagonian heartland starts prices get even higher due to the costly logistics.

====What to Bring and What to Leave at Home====
My recommendation is to bring all your gear but no food. Camping is very popular in Chile and Argentina but finding light and rugged hiking gear is difficult. And if you find it, it will probably cost at least 50% more than in the US or Europe. There are a few specialist stores in Santiago de Chile and the more popular tourist towns what is good if you need to replace a lost or a damaged item. But you don’t want to buy all your gear there.
