Begin with a scenic drive across changing landscapes—from Andean forest to Patagonian steppe—following routes known for wide-open views and dramatic geology. Along the way, stop at Valle Encantado (“Enchanted Valley”) to admire wind- and water-carved rock formations and capture unforgettable photos.
