We are looking at heading to Patagonia, arriving in December of 2018 from the East Coast of South America.

Time is somewhat limited in that we hope to start traversing the Pacific from late April of 2019, so we only have 4 months in the area. Sailing experience is solid, but not lifelong and both of us are wimps! However, we've always wanted to go to Patagonia, so we're on our way...

Question is: It appears to me that the southern tip is pretty barren and inhospitable - meaning anything south of the Magellan. The really dramatic scenery appears to be north of the Magellan - is that a fair statement? I get that the Beagle is all historic and such, but with a somewhat limited timeframe, we're thinking about not going quite so far south - will we be missing out? We're more into getting out and about and hiking, etc - not so much of the full on sailing junkies.

Appreciate any first hand experiences you might be able to share with me.

Thanks!
