description: Patagonia - the name calls to mind giants and outlaws, Magellan's dog-headed monsters, natives whose heads steam when they eat pudding. Called 'the uttermost part of the Earth', Patagonia is the stretch of land at the southern tip of South America. Bruce Chatwin's account of his own Quest or Wonder Voyage through this strange region put him on the map as one of the finest travel writers of the last century.
