    Jagged snow-draped peaks

    Patagonia, a vast region that spans across southern Argentina and Chile, is home to a section of the Andes Mountains, a range that stretches 7,000km along the coast of South America. Stay in one of the region’s many ranches, hike through the Andes and explore the rustic beauty of the Argentinean countryside from the back of a horse.
