What do you need to know for your first trip to Patagonia
Patagonia is not one place; it´s a fantastic collection of different geographies, where to experience unforgettable vacations.
The first thing you should consider is that there are three basic regions for tourism.
1 – Northern Patagonia, nice weather , specially in summer ( dry and endelss days), a perfect destination for outdoors ( trekking, kayaking, fly fishing! , golf in championship courses, good infrastructure and services) : main cities and villages: Bariloche, San Martin de los Andes and Villa La Angostura
2 – Southern Patagonia: “the End od the world”: ideal in summer due to more friendly weather conditions. Spectacular!: The Glacier Perito Moreno close to the City of El Calafate. Worth visiting: Ushuaia City, El Calafate and extensive ranches in the provinces of Tierra del Fuego and Santa Cruz ( Estancia Despedida: a Mecca for fly fishing )
Our best hotels in Patagonia: Finisterris Lodge Relax ( Ushuaia ), Esplendor and La Cantera ( Calafate ) , Despedida Lodge & Estancia
3 – The Atlantic Coast: Peninsula de Valdes
Declared as a World Heritage site by the UNESCO in 1999, Peninsula Valdés receives the southern right whale year after year between may and december ( check detailed season in internet ). Las Restingas Hotel is your best alternative where to stay
