Patagonia Wrap Up

Argentina and Chile share an exquisite region on the southern most part of South America, the famous Patagonia. This rugged landscape has vast rolling plains and breath taking snow covered mountains not to mention the beautiful coastline along the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Although a key defining characteristic of Patagonia can sometimes be the relentless wind, trekking and hiking live here in abundance. The enticing scenery and demanding hiking terrain is something I have been fortunate to experience along a few hikes including a coming famous 25 kilometre route through the Torres Del Paine National Park in Chile.

I am looking forward to the challenge of hiking 25 km in a day while taking in all the surrounding environment has to offer. I am a Canadian who’s home is in the quiet spacious countryside, so congested and bustling capital cities sometimes take their toll on me. Going on hikes like these bare the important reminder of how crucial spending ample time with mother nature is. She is a living breathing organism that supports us all in ways we realize and some ways we don’t. The wild miracle of life across the expanses of nature release something deep within the heart essential to the human experience. This is still a mystery to most and I encourage you to explore this more with a fresh adventure through some of the nature you love the most!

This has been the thing I appreciate most about Patagonia, the break from urban environments and the very apparent presence of mother nature. Exactly what my soul has needed. Did I mention Patagonia is also the main portal to the Antarctic? That may give you another hint as to why I am here ;) Stay tuned for updates on my next grand adventure!
