Hotels near Hermes Quijada International Airport - RGA, Río Grande

Rio Grande is another industrial Argentinian city that provides a place to stop along Ruta 3 on your way to or from Ushuaia. The city itself has limited attractions for tourists, other than some interesting museums, including one dedicated to veterans of the Malvinas (Falklands) war. The city beaches are not too inviting, with strong winds and currents dissuading any bathers on the mid-summer day I visited. I dined at a local cafe called Tante Sara Cafe & Resto just off the main Avenue San Martin. Food was nice and the service friendly, but like the rest of Argentina, not so cheap! A steak roll and a beer cost about US$23. I only stayed one for day, and I think that is about the right amount of time.
