I'm heading to South America with my wife in November and trying to work out where we want to go. We're starting in Buenos Aires and then heading to Iguazu. Our initial plan was then to visit El Calafate and Bariloche before heading over to Chile, but the AR airfares are a bit crazy (especially FTE-BRC).

So, rather than visit the Lakes District in both Argentina and Chile, I think it would be cheaper to go from El Calafate to Ushuaia and then across to Chile from there.

The question: How do Bariloche and Ushuaia compare as destinations, given that we would be visiting the Lakes District in Chile as well?
