Wild and remote, Patagonia is a region that captures the natural drama of South America like no other—from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific, from the vast wind-swept stretches of the pampa grasslands to the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego and the treacherous tip of Caper Horn. “El Sur” fascinated explorers like Magellan and FitzRoy—captain of the HMS Beagle on which Darwin sailed—as well as buccaneers like Drake. The jagged granite cliffs of the FitzRoy Massif, the mighty glaciers, the still mountain lakes of the Andes and the impenetrable rainforests cast a dream-like spell on all who venture here.
