Ahhh Patagonia, you are just so, so beautiful! I found it hard to leave!
Patagonia is a region located in the southernmost tip of South America, shared by Chile and Argentina.
The region is renowned for its dramatic landscapes. Including glaciers and fjords, to wind-swept steppes and towering mountain peaks. The Andes mountain range runs through the region and its highest peak, Mount Aconcagua, is the tallest mountain in the Western Hemisphere.
Popular tourist destinations, that I was fortunate enough to visit, include the Perito Moreno glacier, and the Torres del Paine National Park. The best time to visit is between November and March, when the weather is milder.
Discovered by European explorers in the 16th century, Patagonia remains one of the most remote and untouched regions on earth. For those looking to get away from it all, Patagonia is the perfect destination. I loved all the bus journeys that I had to take to cover the area – one even came with champagne!
The region is also home to a variety of wildlife, which made my animal loving heart very happy! I really enjoyed seeing different birds, including majestic penguins. 🐧🥺
There are a ton of different activities to keep you busy too. Like hiking, camping, biking, horse riding, kayaking, and other outdoor activities. There’s also companies that offer tours around different parts of Patagonia, if you’re short on time.
