Is Patagonia a place? Is it a clothing company? Is it a story? Is it a state of mind?
Patagonia is the Southern most part of South America.
Interesting fact: Patagonia means “land of the big foot” in Spanish because the European explorers found the large footprints of the indigenous people on the beach and figured that they had a large shoe size. Little did they know that Native people used organic material to protect their feet from the elements that made their footprints look larger than normal.
This region includes the countries of Argentina and Chile. We have sea kayak trips in both sides of Patagonia in both the Argentine and Chilean sides. On the Argentine side you will find a desert environment teaming with wildlife. On the Chilean side, the Andes mountain range falls into the Pacific in temperate rain forest covered fjords.
Today Patagonia is one of the most preserved ecosystems on earth and a last frontier as far as unexplored areas of natural beauty.
