Changes

Don't be too put off by the cold months down here. I came in mid June 2014, with no specialist equipment, or duck feather ear warmers, or metallic oxidizing hand heaters, just lots of layers of clothes and naivity, and did OK. The scenery and chill are exhilarating. No competition is countered by little, and unsympathetic traffic, but still very do-able. People will let you sleep in outhouses, or sheds. I slept in Rio Grande hospital one night. Don't try and camp. Days are short, get out early. From Ushuaia, trucks park at times on the large roundabout, and many go directly to BA. You could get lucky. Let them know you have a tent and food, and they mellow alot. Much easier alone. Hope that helps.
