Patagonia summer travel offers an unforgettable escape into some of the world’s most stunning natural landscapes. From towering glaciers to pristine beaches and rugged hiking trails, this region is a paradise for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike.
Summer got off to an exhilarating start as I ventured to Patagonia while visiting family and friends in Buenos Aires with Ary and Diego! Reminiscent of Eastern Sierras and the rivers of Humboldt/Siskiyou County, Patagonia’s diverse landscapes offered a captivating journey. Unlike my previous slow-travel experience to El Calafate, this trip was shorter yet brimming with warmth and excitement, thanks to my amazing travel companions.
Top Activities for Patagonia Summer Travel
Nestled near Bariloche on the shores of Lago Gutierrez, our secluded stay amidst nature was nothing short of enchanting. Our highlight? A perfect day at Baqueanos campground, enjoying the pristine beauty of the lake and majestic mountain vistas. The water was cold but it was stunning. You could rent kayaks here but be sure to have cash for it.
The following day, we ventured to El Bolson, a quaint hippy town reminiscent of Arcata, California to unwind by the river. With its tranquil shallow areas and gentle currents, we were able to hang out in the river with Diego splashing around. This getaway short and quick but it was a much-needed opportunity to reconnect with our little family within Patagonia’s awe-inspiring landscapes.
Best Places to Stay During Patagonia Summer Travel
While the city or town of Bariloche is truly stunning, I would not recommend staying there as it is extremely busy. Crowded streets, restaurants and everything in between. On Av Bustillo there are stunning lodge style accommodations like our amazing Airbnb that we stayed at called Rancho del Lago right on the lake.
