Highlights
Perito Moreno Glacier
An advancing glacier with a 60-metre ice front you can hear before you see — boardwalks bring you within 200 metres of the wall.
El Chaltén trekking
Argentina's trekking capital, with day-hikes to Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre that need no permits.
Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego
The end-of-the-world coast, with a Beagle Channel sailing and a national park at the city's edge.
Bariloche and the Lake District
Lake-and-mountain country in the north of Patagonia, friendlier and milder than the south.
