Over the past 20 years, Patagonia has become world famous. Its breathtaking nature, gaucho culture and indigenous peoples have increasingly motivated travelers from all over the world to visit this place, which for many is seen as the "last corner of the planet.” This rise has gone hand in hand with a sustained and increasing growth of the tourism sector, both in iconic places (such as Torres del Paine) and in other emerging sectors (such as the Aysén Region and Tierra del Fuego). The increase in visitors has also been accompanied by a growing increase in the number of inhabitants - even more so in the high season – and along with that comes the pressure exerted on the ecosystems by human activities.
