Patagonia is accessible by air from the Argentinean airport in Buenos Aires. You should arrive in Buenos Aires at least two days before your planned travel date to account for weather and/or airline delays
Flights from Buenos Aires to Rio Gallegos can save you the 36 hour bus ride if you're looking at heading down that far south. They sometime can be even cheaper than the buses, so it is definitely worth a look.
Buses run constantly between Buenos Aires and Bariloche. They take around 24 hours but are very comfortable.
Bariloche is the capital of the Andean part of Patagonia. A popular destination in winter when the surrounding mountains offer some of the continent's best skiing, it is likewise popular in summer with climbers and trekkers who come to try their skills on the imposing peaks. The coast of Patagonia is as fascinating as the interior - the Valdes Peninsula juts out into the South Atlantic and in its shelter you can see southern right whales during the breeding season of May-December. Further south at Punta Tombo is the world's largest colony of Magellan penguins.
