In Patagonia, around Bariloche, it is cooler, 18-20° C average in both November and April, to rise up to 22- 24° C in December, January and February.
The extreme south, from Calafate to Ushuaia, is famous for its strong winds, it is obviously much colder (O° to 20° C) and weather conditions change frequently.

Health

Food
Argentina is well known for its wines, produced mostly in the province of Mendoza, near the Andes, and for its fabulous beef! Ask for a "bife de chorizo" or "lomo" and have it with a good red Malbec wine. In Patagonia, don’t miss the Patagonian lamb barbecue, nor the trouts from the lakes nor the Pacific salmons.
If you are a vegetarian: no problem, Argentina is a great fruit and vegetable producer, so you will find quality and variety at very low prices.
