Patagonia offers an incredible absence of people. The region barely has roads, let alone cars to contend with. Southern Chile is an undiscovered eco-travel paradise. The glacier-crowned peaks of the southern Andes dominate every view and rival the majesty of the Rocky mountains. Small rivers and streams offer unparalleled trout fishing.
Primeval forests are everywhere.
Its' like Switzerland. It's like the Grand Tetons. But once you get a glimpse of the river, it immediately becomes the center of attention. The word comfortable threw me. Not that I was looking to be uncomfortable on my seven days in Patagonia, but i also didn't want to be insulated from the wild i came in search of.
