Patagonia, shaped originally by hardy Natives and the legendary Strait of Magellan, is now significant for its mind-boggling scenery and its farming prominence. From the latter comes a diversity of produce flavors that engage the senses in an exciting omnivorous journey.
Head to the Plaza de Armas, where a magnificent statue of Ferdinand Magellan stands. According to local lore, touching its toe ensures your return to Patagonia.
Capture the essence of Punta Arenas from Cerro de la Cruz viewpoint. With the city’s vibrant colors against the backdrop of the Strait of Magellan and Tierra del Fuego, this is a picture-perfect moment.
Visiting a rustic rural estate, you’ll witness the time-honored process of slow-cooking world-renowned Patagonian lamb over an open fire. While the lamb tenderizes, gather around the flames and savor a Calafate Sour -- the quintessential Patagonian beverage -- alongside fresh appetizers. As the aroma of succulent lamb fills the air, indulge in a feast like a true local, pairing the tender meat with premium Chilean wines. You’ll long remember the flavors of Patagonia.
