Patagonia
Encompassing Argentina's southernmost region, Patagonia stretches all the way through the country's far end and into parts of Chile, referring to a broad, wide-reaching stretch of terrain. Within this region, 27 national parks — most notably, Los Glaciares, Torres del Paine, and Tierra del Fuego — attract tourists far and wide, though the region pays just as much attention to its people. Friendly communities, welcoming businesses, and cozy cafes crop up throughout the region, sharing the infectious energy of this outdoor oasis.
