A Quote from Carol Simon & Howard Topoff -

"Everyone has heard of Patagonia, but it is a very mysterious place name. It’s not a country (spanning both Argentina and Chile), and there are no signs or fences that demarcate its boundaries. The Patagonian Andes is a beautiful region, dotted with volcanoes, crystal blue lakes and dense forests. The Southern area, by contrast, is marked by hundreds of majestic glaciers that provide a glimpse of what the world was like during the last ice age. In Torres del Paine National Park, hike among a herd of guanacos, the South American cousins of the camel. Throw in a few condors, flightless steamer ducks, and Magellanic penguins, and it becomes clear why this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is internationally renowned as one of the most beautiful, unspoiled and remote places on the planet."
