Summer is about to start in the southern hemisphere and Patagonia is the ideal destination to reconnect yourself with nature , practice outdoors sports and experience memorable adventures.

Here my suggestions:

Book at least  2 nights in Buenos Aires City,   as your first  stop in Argentina. Enjoy it´s night life, a tango show and  walk around the most attractive districts: Recoleta, Palermo and San Telmo.

Do shopping  in Buenos Aires!!: excellent products at unbelievable prices!

Connecting flights to Patagonia departs from Buenos Aires “Aeroparque” ( the domestic flights airport), and all flights take around two / three hours to your Patagonian  destinations.

The Best of the best in Patagonia:
San Martin de los Andes Village:  a fly fishing paradise – excellent Jack Nicklaus Golf Course – Ideal for outdoors.  Ideal:3 / 5  nights stay.

Bariloche City: the biggest city of Patagonia, with an amazing nature in the surroundings: stay between 3 or 4 nights here

Calafate and The Glaciers: in the southernmost region of Patagonia. Unforgettable trekking at  the Perito Moreno Glacier. Excellent Hotels.Stay 2 or 3 nights

Other  places worth including in your tour : Villa La Angostura ( between San Martin de los Andes and Bariloche) – Peninsula de Valdes ( a paradise of southern right whales ), and Ushuaia ( look at the bottom of the map to find it!)

Perfect Connections:

1 – San Martin de los Andes – Villa La Angostura – Bariloche

2 – Ushuaia – Calafate – Bariloche

3 – Peninsula de Valdes – Calafate – Bariloche

Suggested food: roasted lamb – trout – smoked wild meat ( deer and wild pig ) – and chocolate cakes. Always Argentine wines: The Patagonian Pinot Noirs and Merlots are super..and the top varietal : the Malbec of Mendoza ( always ask for a Gran Reserve wine )

Friendly people,  no stress, good food,  dry and sunny weather all summer..endless days..no highways or traffic congestion,  no contamination. What else could be expected?
