Argentina Holidays to Patagonia: El Calafate + Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego
Patagonia extends over the southern third of Argentina and Chile, which share this huge and spectacularly beautiful region of over 690,000 square miles. The Andes Mountains divides these two countries, with the vast steppes (grasslands) and pampas (lowland plains) to the east populated not by cattle but by sheep, as sheep farming is the mainstay of the economy here. Spit roast lamb is a local speciality.
But Patagonia is most famous for the snowy peaks, stunning glaciers and ice fields found in the far south, such as the easily accessible Perito Moreno Glacier found in Los Glaciares National Park near the popular resort of El Calafate. Walkers also love the Mount Fitz Roy area, accessed from the village of El Chalten. At the southern tip of the island of Tierra del Fuego you will find the small town of Ushuaia. This is the hopping off point for most Patagonia and Antarctica expedition cruises.
On the rugged Atlantic east coast wildlife holds sway, particularly around the Valdes Peninsula, a nature reserve famous for its colonies of penguins, sea lions, seals and whales. Further south, Ponta Tomba has a huge penguin colony and at Puerto Deseado the dolphins like to play. There is a Welsh settled around Puerto Madryn, where you can enjoy traditional Welsh tea cakes.

More information on Argentina holidays to Patagonia, El Calafate, Ushuaia & Tierra del Fuego:
Patagonia was reputedly named by Magellan in 1522 after the ‘patagon’, an indigenous person he found here who was allegedly eight foot tall. But that is only one version of the story. What is indisputable however, is that this is a vast and beautiful land of extremes.
In the west a succession of stunning national parks epitomise Patagonia’s essence - magnificent pristine lakes, forests and rugged mountain peaks, not always easily accessible but well worth the effort. In the Pinturas River Canyon you will find ancient rock art in the Cave of the Painted Hands.
