Description
Patagonia, a region at the southern end of South America, is one of the last untouched corners of our planet. Spanning across Argentina and Chile, it encompasses vast lands of mountains, deserts, pampas, and grasslands.
This sparsely populated area boasts two coastlines: to the west faces the Pacific Ocean, while to the east lies the Atlantic Ocean. The Colorado and Barrancas rivers mark its northern boundary, separating Argentine Patagonia from Chilean Patagonia at Reloncaví Estuary. The archipelago of Tierra del Fuego forms its southern frontier.
Patagonia is home to a rich and diverse landscape of plants, fauna, and wildlife, with over one million square kilometers to explore. Early explorers and travellers brought back stories of this remarkable land and people, which are preserved in the words and pictures they shared.
