Maquinchao is a village and municipality in Río Negro Province in Argentina.[1]

It is located in the middle of northern Patagonia, right in the steppe. Consequently, the climate can be quite extreme: temperatures can range from well above 35ºC (95F) on the hottest summer days (but with cold, desert nights at around 10ºC or 50F) to lows that might reach -35ºC (-31F). Usually, summer days average 26ºC (79F) and nights 8ºC (46F), whereas winter days average 6ºC (42F) and nights, -5ºC (23F). Snow is common, but since precipitation is generally low, quantities tend to be reduced. The weather is generally windy, especially in the spring.
