It’s the ultimate journey, the XXL naturalist experience!
Between the Pacific and the Atlantic, straddling Chile and Argentina, Patagonia is this mythical peninsula, which has always attracted adventurers, explorers, sailors, mountaineers and lovers of the great outdoors. It is a raw, demanding nature, with a hostile climate, immense lands occupied by a few rugged, proud, bold and honest inhabitants.
For over twenty-five years, mountain guide Stéphanie Besson has been taking people to discover the vibrant light of dawn, navigate legendary canals, approach the Roaring Forties, and observe sea lions, whales, pumas, and armadillos. In this guide, she provides all the keys to the reader who wants to plan or dream of an exceptional, life-size trip.
