Patagonia in summer: open landscapes, experiences that invite you to stay

During the summer, Patagonia presents itself as a territory to inhabit rather than merely contemplate. The longer daylight hours, the mild climate, and the opening of trails and scenic routes allow visitors to explore vast landscapes, combining nature and culture, and discovering a way of traveling where the environment sets the pace. The season offers opportunities for exploration, relaxation, and celebrations that blend seamlessly with the Patagonian landscape.

El Calafate: glaciers, steppe and local life

The gateway to Los Glaciares National Park, El Calafate boasts some of the most iconic landscapes in southern Argentina. The walkways facing the Perito Moreno Glacier offer views of the ice's constant movement, while boat trips on Lake Argentino bring you close to massive glaciers like Upsala and Spegazzini.
The destination also offers hikes through the Patagonian steppe, visits to historic ranches, horseback riding at sunset, and 4x4 excursions to natural viewpoints. The experience is rounded out by artisan markets, cultural venues, and a cuisine that celebrates regional products such as Patagonian lamb and trout.

Ushuaia: sea, forest and exploration in the far south

In summer, Ushuaia offers a breathtaking panorama of the Beagle Channel and the Fuegian Andes. Boat trips explore islands inhabited by sea lions and southern birds, with views of the lighthouse and the southernmost coastline of the continent.
On land, Tierra del Fuego National Park invites visitors to explore trails through peat bogs, rivers, and lenga forests, leading to tranquil bays and viewpoints overlooking the channel. The End of the World Train and visitor centers provide a historical and cultural dimension, complemented by a cuisine with a distinctly Fuegian character, based on seafood.

San Martín de los Andes: lakes, mountains and scenic roads

On the shores of Lake Lácar, San Martín de los Andes offers a vibrant experience with lakeside beaches, kayaking, and trails that lead into Lanín National Park. Hiking and cycling routes wind through forests, past waterfalls, and offer panoramic views of the Andes Mountains and the Lanín Volcano.
The Seven Lakes Route is a scenic route connecting valleys and lakes, while the city itself offers an urban lifestyle seamlessly integrated with the landscape, featuring culinary offerings that showcase local Andean produce.

Hospitality integrated into the environment

The Patagonian experience is enhanced by accommodations that prioritize scale, tranquility, and a connection with nature. Loi Suites Chapelco blends seamlessly into the Chapelco Golf & Resort, offering panoramic views of the Andes Mountains and a strategic location for exploring lakes, trails, and scenic routes. Its offerings combine regional cuisine, a wine selection, and a mountain spa focused on wellness and relaxation.
At the southern tip, Los Cauquenes Resort + Spa + Experiences offers a stay overlooking the Beagle Channel, with maritime and land-based experiences, signature cuisine, and a spa designed as a natural extension of the Fuegian landscape.

February as a time for travel and celebration

The Patagonian summer finds its perfect moment in February to combine exploration and relaxation. The overlap of the summer season with holiday celebrations encourages longer getaways, where nature, gastronomy, and wellness are integrated as part of the journey. Patagonia thus presents itself as a vast and diverse landscape, designed to be explored at a leisurely pace, with options to suit every way of experiencing the region.

With open landscapes, sensory experiences and a hospitality aligned with the environment, Patagonia reaffirms in summer its character as a destination for those seeking time, space and a genuine connection with nature.
