Patagonia

The sound of the word ‘Patagonia’ attracted me much before I fell in love with the land called Patagonia. Patagonia is a region in South America and shared by Chile and Argentina.

As we crossed the border from Argentina to Chile, Puerto Natales on the Pacific ocean was only 35 km away. The scenery changed from a dry Steppe grassland in Argentina to cows grazing on the green cover of the fertile rain-soaked land of Chile. It took some time though for the people to notice this difference and by the time they did the Pacific ocean was already in sight.

I guess it was just the way it sounded. That’s what it was that drew me to first use my cursor on google maps, to go south, south of the South American continent.
