The Last Great Wilderness on Earth
Patagonia, spanning the southern reaches of both Argentina and Chile, is one of the most awe-inspiring wilderness regions on the planet. This vast territory of over 400,000 square miles encompasses dramatic landscapes that range from the jagged granite towers of Torres del Paine to the immense Southern Patagonian Ice Field, the third largest reserve of fresh water on Earth.
The region is a paradise for adventurers and nature lovers alike. Trekkers come from around the world to hike through ancient lenga forests, past turquoise lakes fed by glacial meltwater, and along windswept ridges offering panoramic views that defy description. The Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the few advancing glaciers in the world, provides a thunderous spectacle as house-sized chunks of ice calve into Lake Argentino.
Beyond the mountains and glaciers, Patagonia offers encounters with remarkable wildlife including guanacos, condors, pumas, and Magellanic penguins. The steppe lands reveal a quieter beauty, with estancias offering authentic gaucho culture, horseback riding across open plains, and some of the most spectacular stargazing on Earth.
