In a magical place in theSouth America, including between Argentina and Chile, there is a real paradise on earth, with white beaches and crystal clear waters, which await only swimmers and windsurf lovers.
We are talking about Patagonia.

In the post we advise you how to get there, how to get around and what to do.
To start, know that this is a trip that must be studied in detail both in the various movements and in the accommodations, it cannot be improvised, because otherwise it would be too expensive.
When to go
Finding ourselves insouthern hemisphere, the seasons are reversed compared to ours, keep this in mind when you prepare your luggage. The high season runs from November to February, and is the favorite tourist destination of Brazilians, Chileans and Argentines, especially on New Year's Eve.
How to reach us
Look for flights with destinations from Italy, Santiago de Chile or Buenos Aires. Once there, you will move in the direction Punta Arenas with the low cost airline Sky Airlines. Consulting their flight calendar, we noticed that the fares are lowered, although in high season for the consulted period, starting from the day of the Epiphany until the end of the month, with return flights airport taxes excluded, which in any case do not cause the final price to rise too much.
For example, the rate found is US $ 54, excluding taxes. A feature of the site that will be very useful to you, allows you to find the lowest fare, by entering in the search query, only the departure and arrival airports.

Getting around
The best way to get around is through local buses. To do this in the best possible way, consult the website of the Argentine bus lines, Omni Lineas.
To get to Patagonia from Buenos Aires, you have to look for the Rio Gallegos services. The best fares, in terms of travel comfort, since we are talking about hours in the bus, are those that have the word Cama under the heading "class". Here's what it includes. In class 3, Semicama, the seats are seats for four people, with reclining seat to rest the back, leg rests, catering service for food, drinks and mini bar, where in self-service mode, you can take fruit juices, coffee and tea.
In class 2, Cama-Ejecutivo, the seats are wider, suitable for travel at night.
In class 1, Cama-Suite, the seat can be reclined up to 85 degrees. In practice it becomes flat like a bed, hence the name cama, which in Spanish means bed.
To do
First of all, Patagonia is known to be goal of study of paleontologists Everywhere in the world. This is because it hosts the best known Paleontology Museum, and why many fossil finds occurred right here. The last one dates back to 2014, and it was a great discovery, in the true sense of the word, as the found femur led to the discovery of a sauropod more or less twenty meters high and weighing seventy-seven tons.
In addition to the MEF, Egidio Feruglio Museum, it is possible for children to have a real experience worthy of one Night at the museum, without Ben Stiller as the night watchman though. Children from six to eleven years old will be able to approach the history of dinosaurs in a playful way, and in pajamas, pajama party style. The first MEF opened in Trelew in late December XNUMXs, in what was an old furniture store, and had only three employees.
Other suggested activities are theobservation of penguins at Punta Tombo and the visit to the glaciers of Parque National los Glaciares. They also can't miss on your schedule, stops at Puerta Madryn and from El Chalten.
Where to stay
To better enjoy your holiday, during your stay, you should really try the experience of sleeping on a ranch. Prices start from 100 euros per day, comparing the structures, perhaps not exactly low cost, but the choice of accommodation is vast.
