Patagonia covers the tip of the South American continent, shared by both Argentina and Chile. The area is about the same size as Britain but with less than one person per square kilometre.
In the north of the region lies Aysen, a stunning mountainous area with lakes, forests, glaciers, snow-capped mountains and glacial-fed streams.
The Aysen region is perfect for self-driving, the 1,240 kilometres long Carretera Austral winds its way through this area giving access not only to amazing scenery but also to world-class fly fishing, trekking, ice climbing and kayaking. This region is home to Chile’s newest national park, Patagonia Park, an unspoilt wilderness that richly rewards travellers’ with the inclination to explore this little known region of Chile
Southern Patagonia is home to Torres Del Paine National Park, probably the most iconic and well known park in Chile. There are not only the mighty granite towers but also meandering rivers, turquoise lakes, glaciers and endless hiking. Wildlife in this area is also abundant with condors, foxes, guanacos and puma all found in the park. The nearby town of Puerto Natales is an alternative base to staying in the park itself, a colourful place on the edge of the Senoret Channel. A great trip from Puerto Natales is to cruise along Ultima Esperanza Bay and view the imposing Serrano and Balmaceda glaciers.
Punta Arenas on the Strait of Magellan is the jumping off point to visit the wilderness island of Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America, Cape Horn and also Antarctica.
