Exploring Argentina

Must-dos for the daring traveler:

It may seem like sacrilege to suggest a list of “must-do” activities in Argentina without mentioning the capital. But that’s just what I’m about to do. No doubt, Buenos Aires is full of cultural sights, charm, and adventure of its own kind, but these three destinations are for the traveler who longs for the fresh air and landscapes that can only be found in more remote areas.

Beagle Channel

Journey to the “end of the world,” and boat around the natural habitat of penguins, sea lions, and killer whales. Just remember to pack layer upon layer of warm clothes—it’s beautiful, but frigid. You’ll have your choice of how close you want to be to the water: cruise, kayak, or sail. Excursions leave from Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. Splurge on your accommodations and stay at Tierra de Leyendas (rooms from $125 per single in the low season). http://www.tierradeleyendas.com.ar/

Chos Malal

Make this town of 12,000 your base for exploring some surreal scenery. From here you can travel to the nearby Volcano Domuyo, called “the Roof of Patagonia.” The area attracts both hikers and bathers. Climbing to the top of Domuyo takes several days, but can prove a fascinating challenge. For those wanting to relax and unwind, the naturally-occurring thermal baths—including nearby El Humazo and Aguas Calientes—are renowned for their healing powers.
