Patagonia is a region located in South America which mostly belongs to Argentina, but with a little part of it to Chile. Patagonia is a mountainous place. The Fueguinos Andes extend to the west and serve as a borderline with Chile.
The winter is rather rough and snowy, but summers are appealing. On the eastern side, there are many beaches with the warm blue sea coming from Brazil in the north although the southern cost is cold and populated by penguins, whales and dolphins.
Real Traveler posts an article about Patagonia where William Evon says that Patagonia is a destination full of adventure and well worth a visit.
The Patagonia region of Argentina (and partly located in Chile) is home to some of the world’s most stunning arctic landscapes. From the leviathan glaciers of El Calafate to the shadows drawn by Fitz Roy’s peaks outside El Chalten, the southern-most tip of Argentina is a destination full of adventure, ideal for any travelers hoping to avoid the crowded beaches this summer in search of something a bit chillier.
Meanwhile, patagoniafamily.blogspot.com quotes a women, who has lived in Argentina for a year and describes the region to be a desolate place full of junk.
Argentine Patagonia, if you haven’t heard me describe it before, is a dry, windy, desolate place. Trees are few and far between. The sun is brutal, as there is, reportedly, a hole in the ozone layer directly overhead. We turned off the main road, onto a smaller road-like throughway –a place you wouldn’t attempt after a good rain in a car without four wheel drive. We drove twenty kilometers along this road, crested a little bluff, and there it was: in this world of brown and low bushes, my heart leapt at the expanse of deep blue. In the next second, the excitment was replaced with disbelief: our idyllic, lonely Patagonian beach was a wasteland of junky trailers, tattered boats, and strewn empty bottles. You have got to be kidding. This is IT?? We drove eight hours from Neuquen to be surrounded by JUNK?
Seems like you can’t please them all.
