Part 4/10:
The legend of Patagonia began in the 16th century when the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan named the region “Patagonia,” translating to “the land of the bigfeet.” Some 300 years later, Charles Darwin reinforced this myth through his discoveries of colossal extinct fauna. Although almost two centuries have passed since Darwin's exploration, Patagonia remains a treasure trove for modern-day adventurers.
Despite becoming more accessible, its mythical appeal remains. Travelers can embark on unforgettable journeys via road trips, cruises, or flights, promising a lifetime of experiences nestled among its wonders.
