Eisteddfod
This lively Welsh festival, featuring plentiful grub and choral singing, takes place in the
Patagonian towns of Trelew and Trevelin. It's great for one of those wait-am-I-really-in-
South-America? moments.
November
In Buenos Aires the weather is perfect and the jacaranda trees show off
their blooms. It's a good time to visit the beach resorts and Patagonia; the
crowds and high prices are still a month or so away.
Día de la Tradición
This festival salutes the gaucho and is especially significant in San Antonio de Areco, the
most classically gaucho of towns. It is also important in the mountain town of San José
de Jáchal.
