  • The Best of Argentina 2018 Patagonia & Buenos Aires
    800.344.5257 | 910.795.1048 [email protected] PerryGolf.com The Best of Argentina 2018 Patagonia & Buenos Aires 11 Nights | 6 Rounds | January 15 - 26 Tour Pricing Per Guest Golfer: $7,395 | Non Golfer: $6,435 | Single Supplement: $1,975 Once we discovered why its said 'you can hear the silence' in Argentina, the choice for our newest destination was made. Patagonia is stunning. The majestic Andes reach nearly 23,000 feet into the western sky while the plateau of steppes and grasslands stretch forever on their way to the Atlantic. This is unspoiled natural beauty on a scale like New Zealand's but twice as remote. It is the setting for seven of the eleven nights and four of the six rounds on our newest Escorted Tour, The Best of Argentina ~ Patagonia and Buenos Aires Escorted 2018. This is a tale of two trips because we begin with four nights and two rounds in Buenos Aires, the high energy cosmopolitan heart of Argentina. Lonely Planet writer Sandra Bao, who was born here in the capital, says 'BA is sexy, vibrant and supremely confident. It looks a bit European but with edgy Latin American twist.' That's a picture that paints itself when you remember it was Argentina that gave us the tango. Our golf here includes Olivos Golf Club, one of the finest clubs in South American and 2016 host to the 111th Argentina Open, plus the fine Buenos Aries Golf Club, site of Tiger Wood's and David Duval's World Golf Championship victory in 2000. A steak dinner at any of the parrillas (beef restaurants) in San Telmo, a trendy barrio with cobblestone streets just six blocks from Plaza de Mayo, promises the most authentic churrasco experience imaginable.

    Development challenges in the province of Río Negro, Argentina Paula Gabriela Núñeza, Carolina Lara Michelb and Santiago Contib a Universidad de Los Lagos, Osorno, Chile; Universidad Nacional de Río Negro; Institute for Research on Cultural Diversity and Processes of Change (IIDYPCA); CONICET, Argentina b National University of Río Negro, Argentina. Email addresses: [email protected]; [email protected] and [email protected], respectively. The authors wish to thank the anonymous reviews for their input. This article was published with the support of the Universidad de Los Lagos and within the PIP 0838 results framework. Date received: February 19, 2020. Date accepted: June 15, 2020. Abstract This article examines rural development in the North Andean region of Río Negro province, Argentina. The authors analyze an environmental area suitable for extensive rural development that is not fully integrated as a productive area. Additionally, this article associates present difficulties with structural contradictions inherent in its regional incorporation to the national and provincial administrations. It then investigates the significant terms that characterized territorial policies, while illuminating how these terms viewed the inhabitants of the region and their activities.
