Patagonia earns its reputation as one of the planet's last great wildernesses — and you feel it the moment the wind hits you.
The region stretches across southern Argentina and Chile, with a landscape shaped by ice, wind and time. Torres del Paine raises its granite towers above glacial lakes of turquoise meltwater. The Perito Moreno glacier creeps forward and calves with a thunderous roar into the lake below. On the Chilean side, fjords cut deep inland, surrounded by hanging glaciers and untouched forest.
The region can be explored on foot, on horseback or by boat. Gaucho culture, indigenous history and the legacy of the first European settlers still shape parts of the region.
Patagonia combines naturally with Buenos Aires, Santiago or Iguazú and suits the experienced hiker just as well as the traveller who prefers to take in the landscape from a boat or a saddle.
