Enjoy at its best, all that the south of Argentina has to offer. The perfect balance and combination among breathtaking views, outdoors activities, boutique hotels and restaurants with all the adrenaline and fun of a small gay group. Visit the main attractions and more of San Carlos de Bariloche, Villa la Angostura, San Martin de los Andes and Lanin Volcano . Seven days touring the south of Argentina, worldwide renown as Patagonia.

November is one of the best month to visit this region of Argentina, allowing you to explore and enjoy the destination in full. Reason why I have decided to include multiple outdoors activities such us: Trekking + Kayaking + Horseback Ridding + among others…

Welcome and Farewell cocktails with the panoramic views of San Carlos de Bariloche and Nahuel Huapi Lake. San Carlos de Bariloche is full of breathtaking views that I guarantee you will try to capture in your pictures and memories. (example of this is the terrace of the Charming Luxury Hotel below)

Hosted personally by me Carlos Melia. I have been at the destination testing all hotels, tours, restaurants and suppliers last March 2010, and I guarantee you will have the best experience among a fun group of friends. My ongoing commitment to you all BEEN THERE DONE THAT. (photo: Me at Lanin Volcano courtesy of LAHUEN Co Thermal Spa.)
