How to Plan a Trekking Honeymoon in Patagonia
If cushy resort travel is not your idea of a honeymoon, then head south - way south - to the wilds of Patagonia and experience Argentina's expansive coast and mountains.
Instructions

-
1
Find your way to Patagonia via Buenos Aires or Santiago, Chile. Major carriers such as United Airlines or American Airlines have regular flights, but look into LanChile as a possible flight choice.
-
2
Visit Patagonia year-round, as it is relatively mild, unless you are in the higher altitudes between June and August, which is winter in South America.

3
Embrace adventure in this rugged land: You can see all kinds of marine wildlife while on the coast of the Peninsula Valdes, then experience an advancing river of ice at the massive Moreno Glacier.
-
4
Tour with trek operators such as Patagonia Travel Adventures and Above The Clouds Trekking, who will escort you on a 15- or 16-day all-inclusive outing (approximately $3000 per person).
-
5
Take time to ski the Andes at world-class resorts such as Las Lenas.
-
6
Squeeze in some time to eat, drink and dance in hopping 24-hour Buenos Aires. The Costanera Norte and Las Canitas areas in Palermo buzz with a wealthy crowd, while the walkable and trendy El Bajo area is more affordable.

Tips & Warnings
Have plenty of time on your trip, as Argentina is a huge place with lots to see.
Seek out famous Argentine beef, a rich tradition of the "ranchero" lifestyle there.
