Patagonia Map

Patagonia stretches across Chile and Argentina, occupying most of the tapering end of South America. It's almost completely untouched, with a few small urban centres acting as drop off points to huge expanses of wilderness containing everything from volcanoes and glaciers to deep fjords and pampas.

What are the regions of Patagonia?

If you add up all the trips, I must have spent about a year in total in Patagonia and I don't think I've seen more than 10% of it. You don't ever get used to the scale of it. Every time, it takes your breath away because you'll be in a different part, or a different season. It's always new.

Regions and Geographical Landmarks of Patagonia

The major regions for adventure travel, from North to South are:

The Chilean and Argentine Lake District
El Chalten, Mount Fitz Roy, Perito Moreno and the South Patagonian Ice Cap
Torres del Paine National Park
Tierra del Fuego

Also, see our guide to where to go in Patagonia for more information on these places and other less visited destinations.

The major geographical landmarks are:

The Patagonian Ice Cap (aka Hielo Continental, or Ice Sheet) - both North and the larger South can be seen when trekking in Patagonia. The Ice Cap feeds nearly 100 glaciers across the region
The volcanoes of northern Patagonia
The Magellan Straits and Cape Horn, which are visited on Patagonia Cruises
The Andes themselves - although they lose some of their altitude as they extend south into Patagonia, they lose none of their drama or majesty. Trekking Fitz Roy and El Chalten allows you to behold the wonderful spectacle of Cerro Fitz Roy's 3,375m peak
The Patagonian Steppe - thousands of miles of semi-arid desert lie to the East of the Andes and in their rain shadow
The Carretera Austral - the 'Southern Highway' stretches through over 1200km of rugged Patagonian landscape
