The Book of Patagonia is a wonderful historical chronicle of this place known as the end of the world.
Magellan arrived here in 1520, but a lot happened before and after that as well.

The indigenous people, the colonization, the estancias, the sheep, the border problems between Argentina and Chile are some of the topics covered in this book, accompanied by a geological, botanical and cultural context. The history of Perito Moreno, the national parks and the development of Patagonia until today are other topics that invite us to think together about the future of Patagonia.

The author was inspired to write this book by his experiences as a museum curator in Patagonia.
I hope you are ready for this experience. Because the Andes, the steppe and the unstoppable winds are waiting for us.
