Situated in the foothills of the Andes, Esquel is a quaint town praised for its stunning landscapes, captivating historical landmarks and friendly locals. Be prepared for a change in climate- unlike the temperate weather in the United Kingdom, Esquel experiences a cooler, cloudier climate.
The roads and streets in Esquel are in good condition, suitable for compact cars and SUVs alike. However, if you plan to explore the surrounding offbeat paths, SUVs or 4*4 vehicles are recommended.
Adapt to Argentina driving rules, which may differ from what you're used to in Britain. The default speed limit in populated areas is 40km/h while the highway limit is 130km/h.
Parking is free in most areas in Esquel but do mind the signs. It's also worth noting that gas stations are often spread out, so fuel up when you can.
A drive to this UNESCO World Heritage site - dense with ancient forests and glacial lakes is a must! Consider adopting the Argentine culture of 'siesta' to your schedule, as routes to popular destinations like these can get congested in the afternoon.
Ruta 40 is one of the most famous and spectacular driving routes in Argentina which can lead you to the mesmerizing Patagonian plains.
The town centre offers a wide variety of shops, local produce markets and restaurants serving exquisite Patagonian cuisine. The locals, known as 'Esquelenses' are friendly, often more than happy to help you with your queries.
Esquel has a moderate climate, similar to the weather in the United Kingdom. Argentina uses Argentine Peso (ARS). Travellers should note that Argentina's summer is December-February, with a big cultural celebration 'Carnaval' taking place in February.
Esquel Airport is about 12 miles from the city centre. A vehicle is handy for easy transportation to and from the airport. The Old Patagonian Express, often known as "La Troupa", is a famous vintage train in Esquel. There are no ports in this landlocked city.
Cities like Trevelin, famous for its Welsh heritage, and Bariloche, the chocolate capital of Argentina are worth the short drive from Esquel.
We hope this guide helps with your rent-a-car journey in Esquel. Enjoy your trip and drive safe!
