Located in southernmost tip of Latin America, Patagonia is an extreme destination.

Between the 40th and 50th parallels the Atlantic and the misnamed Pacific confront at Cape Horn. They seep into the land through the Beagle Canal, the Magellan Detroit, and many other tongues of sea.

The travel begins in Ushuaia, an historic navigation point surrounded by almost deserted and constantly wind-whipped land. Here, the wind and the sea currents are as powerful as they are unpredictable.

Heading further North, you arrive at the gigantic glacier, San Valentin, the third largest in the world. It begins at the foot of the Andes and combs into thousands of fjords spanning hundreds of kilometres.

Then you pass through the Penas Gulf, the site of terrific storms, which opens westwards, forming a border to the north. Its rough coast and glacial landscape gives way the Chonos Archipelago which is one of the rainiest parts of the world. This area’s dense, humid and almost impenetrable forests do not invite human life, only very occasionally does one encounter people, their rare and shadowy villages in unexpected places.

The 3000 km journey culminates in Coyhaique, the capital of Chilean Patagonia, a modern town, a return to contemporary lifestyle.

Back then, until the start of the XXth century, nomad Indians were moving around these lands, living modestly. Nowadays, only rarely do people settle in the region’s precarious and isolated villages. We expect our travel to be hard.

By exposing ourselves to the loneliness of this isolated landscape and coming into a more intimate communion with nature, we may discover within ourselves, and the journey, something more lasting, something beyond an adventure.
