Dez Bartelt tells GG why she loves Patagonia

Travel Argentina in LuxuryTravel Argentina in LuxuryI'm often asked to talk about some my favorite places to travel. So, just for my friends at GoGirlfriend, I'm giving up the inside scoop on luxury adventure travel in Patagonia, Argentina.

San Carlos de Bariloche is my "Switzerland" in the province of Río Negro, Argentina, South America.

It's a luxury playground for the rich and famous, but it's also my home. This region of Patagonia lays claim virgin green forests set against snow-capped mountains and deep blue lakes. Travel Argentina in LuxuryTravel Argentina in Luxury

The Lake District is not only beautiful - it's an Eden where every breath is fresh and healing. Such natural beauty has even enticed celebrities like Madonna to take up residence here.

While in this region of Argentina, you'll experience true luxury in a fairytale setting. Enjoy adventure in style during the day while being pampered with spa treatments and 5 star gourmet meals in the evening.

Make sure you find time to visit the cosmopolitan city of Buenos Aires and enjoy a tour of the city's museums, art galleries, fairs and antique markets.

Sample some exquisite Argentinean wine at a private wine tasting session with an expert sommelier. Enjoy gourmet authentic meals in fine restaurants, and linger over cocktails in one of the many chic bars and lounges.

Finish your evening with a traditional tango show at Esquina Gardel, or enjoy a private box at the world-class Teatro Colón (Colón Theater).

You also must see the architect Alejandro Bustillo's marvel: Llao Llao Golf and Spa Resort. Located on a small hill between lakes Nahuel Huapi and Moreno, the Llao Llao is ideally situated.

Imagine yourself sailing in luxurious style as you enjoy the deep waters of Lake Nahuel Huapi aboard a private sailing boat. Or simply picture yourself relaxing in the marvelous outdoor heated swimming pool while watching the sun set over Mount Tronador.

This is the best in luxury travel Argentina has to offer.

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Jan said "We were also on the ship with our friends, had spent the day at the beach in Tortola where the slider on my Omega came off, "broke" and lost. I had just purchased it on board the ship the day prior. But nothing can compare to the loss of a family member. The Captain had everyones attention for the announcement. Captain Draper done a great job informing the passengers of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rumphrey family."

I was very impressed with the way Captain Draper handled the situation and I told him so. He made it a priority to inform all passengers and eliminated rumor and speculation. It's nice to know the other passengers involved felt the driver saved their lives. The roads in Tortola are terrible and I'm sure much skill is involvd navigating them safely. I hope you enjoyed your cruise, despite this tragedy. Julia"

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Anonymous said "I just returned from this tragic Caribbean Princess cruise. Although I was not a part of this particular excursion, it was both saddening and shocking for everyone on the ship when Capt. Draper made the announcements. The following day, we spoke to one of the excursion bus passengers who felt the bus driver did everything in his power to slow the bus down and they felt the bus driver had saved all of their lives. According to my fellow passenger, the fatality was caused by the young man being thrown through the front windshield. Of note, it was rumored told during the cruise that a witness saw the brakes being worked prior to the excursion."
