Patagonia & the Lake District
Ever-alluring Patagonia is the region of Argentina south of the Río Colorado, which
flows southeast from the Andes and passes just north of the city of Neuquén. The Lake
District is a subregion of Patagonia. Province-wise, Patagonia consists of Neuquén, Río
Negro, Chubut and Santa Cruz. It's separated from Chilean Patagonia by the Andes.
The Andean cordillera (range) is high enough that Pacific storms drop most of their
rain and snow on the Chilean side. In the extreme southern reaches of Patagonia,
however, enough snow and ice still accumulates to form the largest southern-hemisphere
glaciers outside of Antarctica.
