Discover the best time of year to visit the picturesque Argentine lake district with our month by month guide.

These summer months are the busiest, with plenty of visitors in the chocolate-box towns. With the warmest temperatures and the driest, clearest climate, this is a great time to try your hand at outdoor activities. Hike or cycle through densely forested mountains, go fishing on the sapphire-hued lakes or take in the lush scenery while horse riding. Or catch the Old Patagonian Express, a steam locomotive which slices through the mesmerising scenery of the Patagonian steppe.
