We spent a month in Patagonia in January doing the more popular tracks, 3 nights around Fitzroy, 8 nights around Torres del Paine (grand circuit), Nahuel Huapi (Frey). One piece of advice I would offer is that if you only (yep I mean only) have a month then allow sufficient time for connections. Bus trips can be epically slow for the distance covered (like 8 hours to get from El Calafate to Puerto Natales which is 400 km or so, four hours from Calafate to Chalten which is 250 km), and if you are down south you will be there is peak season which means you may have to plan/book a few days in advance. Well worth it down there. Dare I say that if you go to the less popular areas then you would possibly have to allow more time.
