The best months to visit Antarctica and Patagonia are February and March. For russian citizens it is no need visa to Argentina.

 Day 1 
Buenos Aires

So I'm going to reach the Buenos Aires on plane from Saint-Petersburg. Than I'll take domestic flight and reach the El Calafate small town in the center of Patagonia.

Day 2
El Calafate and glaciers

Visit "Los Glaciares National Park" - park with spectacular glaciers http://www.losglaciares.com/en/parque/

Perito Moreno glacier




Day 3

Day 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (4-6 days ???)

Torres del Paine

Visit "Torres del Paine" national park in Chile: https://torresdelpaine.com/en/



From Buenos Aires there are no direct flights to Punta Arenas, so the fastest way to get to Torres del Paine National Park is taking a plane from Argentina’s capital to the city of El Calafate and then move by bus or rental car to Puerto Natales, a 350- kilometers journey that can take 4.5 hours approximately. When you reach that city consider at least 80 kilometers more to reach the nearest gate of Torres del Paine (2 hour trip). For more details, please see our ground transportation section.

"W" CIRCUIT IN TORRES DEL PAINE 4-6 days trip:

Day 10
Land of Fire



I'm going to reach the very south point of Argentina: Ushuaia by plane. There I m going to take taxi and go to hotel because the airport not far from the town. It is about only 5 km.

I'll take for instance something like this: https://www.booking.com/hotel/ar/laguna-esmeralda-b-amp-b-ushuaia.html
