take seasick medicine sometimes people get what's called the Drake Lake which means the Drake Passage is calm and smooth
take binoculars and take a camera with zoom so that was my mistake my camera did not have a good zoom
I highly recommend a trip up to iguazu from buenos aires of santiago you can fly up to iguazu falls
