In the footsteps of explorers
Patagonia has long lived in the imagination as the far south of wind, distance, and hard light. Exploration, natural history, climbing mythology, and trekking culture all helped make it famous, but the place has always been less gentle than the dream version suggests.
That still defines the trip. In Patagonia, the burden usually comes less from technical complexity than from wind, exposure, and how long the day really sits outside shelter.
