Patagonia is a territory of more than 1 million km² divided between Argentina and Chile, both sides with unmissable attractions for any nature and wildlife lover, landscapes that look like paintings, true works of art carved into the glaciers, rivers, lagoons and rock towers with snow-capped peaks, not to mention the graceful residents that bring even more life, penguins, whales, sea lions and sea lions.

I was tired of difficult challenges at altitudes, such as the Cordillera Blanca (Peru) and Aconcagua (Argentina).
One of the most traditional trekking in South America, and without altitude,  is Torres del Paine – Chile.
As I like to know much more than just the place, I got together with some friends and we went to visit Patagonia.

Patagonia.

Patagonia is a geographical region that comprises the vast southern tip of South America, both Argentina, and Chile.Having the Andes mountain range as a dividing line.The Argentine side is pastures, deserts, and arid steppes while the Chilean side is fjords, glaciers, and temperate forests.As each one of the group had theirs own schedule, we were able to meet in each place depending on each one’s schedule.

Everyone should be in Puerto Natales, to do the Torres del Paine trail.

So I created my agenda which would be to visit Argentine Patagonia, make the circuit O of Torres del Paine, and head to Ushuaia.
My friend Alessandro had an initial schedule like mine.

We left São Paulo and went to El Calafate, El Chaten, Torres Del Paine.
After Torres, Alessandro came back and I continued with Gabriel to Ushuaia.

We went from São Paulo to Buenos Aires and then to El Calafate, with a stopover in Bariloche.

The park is one of Ushuaia’s main attractions and comprises a huge green area, with about 63,000ha, is bathed by the Beagle Channel, and is located about 12km from the city center.

The best way to get there is by train from the end of the world.

History says that the train was built to take prisoners to cut wood, but today it’s 7 km long has a fascinating landscape.

In the park is the end of Route 3 (3079 KM) which starts in Buenos Aires, crosses the whole of Argentina, crossing Patagonia and reaching Ushuaia.

There are many trails with varying levels of difficulty.

We got a map at the information center and went to explore the park, arrived at the Chilean border,
