San Diego Source - Patagonia! The name itself gives one a vision of other worldliness, a place too remote to absorb easily. The region is shared by Chile and Argentina at the end of the southern hemisphere. Some people might say at the end of the world, since just getting there is an adventure in itself.

This is Chile.cl - According to The National, a newspaper printed in English in the United Arab Emirates, Chilean Patagonia, with some of the most beautiful natural surroundings in the world, now has the fifth best glass hotel in the world: the Remota, a luxury edifice located in Puerto Natales, in the extreme south of Chile.

Time Out - Gruff Rhys is the lead singer of Welsh indie band Super Furry Animals. ‘Separado!’ is his debut film feature, a rambling documentary travelogue of the 40 year old’s time spent tracking down enigmatic folk troubadour René Griffiths in Welsh-speaking Patagonia.

Merco Press - Chilean Public Works Minister Hernán de Solminihac recently inaugurated a new 9.6 million US dollars highway - Route 9 - connecting Puerto Natales to Villa Cerro Castillo, in the region of the Torres del Paine National Park, extreme south of the country.

The Independent - Chilean Patagonia's position as a natural playground for all things active is perfectly summed up by the Wenger Patagonian Expedition Race. It challenges competitors to up to 800 miles of kayaking, trekking and mountain-biking in some of the most impressive scenery known to man. But while the athletes who take on the endurance race every year may seem superhuman, the activities involved can offer any adventure traveller the opportunity to understand what wilderness is all about at a more leisurely level.
