"Best" Bush Plane

I have been flying a trip around the world, heading south to north and have been wanting a good bush plane to do it in.  I am currently using the stock Beech Baron with a nice repaint, but I would like something a little different to do the Antarctic stuff.

It needs to be a dual-engine prop, perhaps with skids or floats.  I'm heading into South America tomorrow, so I would like to have something soon, as I will most likely be making several stops on ice in the near future.

Any opinions or recomendations are appreciated.

A DHC6 Otter might suit you. It's somewhat of a bush plane and it's a twin engine ;)

Well, the Twin Otter is a good suggestion, but its too big for me.  I've been flying single-engine fighters and aerobatic aircraft for many months, so my skills with larger aircraft are VERY rusty.

Thank you for the suggestion, though.  I might use it, if I can't find anything smaller . . .
