Summertime with the Family in Patagonia at Llao Llao Resort

Winter in our neck-of-the-woods translates to summertime in the southern hemisphere, so why not head south where the dollar is still strong against the Argentine peso? Patagonia beckons with some of the finest scenery in the world: crystal clear lakes and the snow-capped Andean peaks. You can gape at this awe-inspiring panorama from the floor-to-ceiling windows in one of the best resorts in South America: Llao Llao resort, perched at the gateway to a national park. The facilities are swanky (18-hole golf course, superb spa, heated infinity pool) and there are numerous outdoor recreational activities--from treks to kayaking. Book the "Summertime with the Family" package and you'll enjoy accommodations in a standard room in the Bustillo building, round-trip airport transfers, daily buffet breakfast, and free access to the health club and sauna. Priced from $315 per night from January 4-February 28, 2009, and $243 per night from March 1- June 30, 2009. Three night minimum stay required.

PS. We hear they offer tango lessons!
