Honeymoon in Patagonia (Argentina + Chile)

Why Patagonia (Argentina + Chile) works as a honeymoon
The bucket-list honeymoon: hike to the base of Torres del Paine, calve-watch at Perito Moreno glacier, fly-fish in Argentine lakes. Active couples who'd find the Caribbean boring will remember this forever.
