They call this savage land split between Argentina and Chile “The End of the Earth,” and Patagonia definitely lives up to its billing. A rugged frontier distinguished by the granite teeth of Torres del Paine, the massive Perito Moreno Glacier, rocky landscapes that change color, El Calafate’s gaucho spirit, and impossibly wide-open skies, Patagonia feels like where Earth starts than where it ends.
Often referred to as the ‘end of the world’, the unlimited, unspoiled landscape is spectacular. Bright blue waters, green forests, icy mountain peaks, stunning rock formations and a mass of different wildlife are regular sights in the region.
