About 900 thousand square kilometers of steppe plains with panoramic views of the Andes far south of the world, with a population density of only 2 inhabitants per square km.
The region can be divided into two main areas: the western side, where the long mountain range of the Andes with lakes, glaciers and forests and the eastern side, characterized by vast semi-desert plateaus that come to the Atlantic Ocean. Patagonia is also part of the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego, the closest to the Antarctic Circle.
