See the wilder side of Patagonia 🦙

We're headed outside to Patagonia

View in browser         Friday Around  the Planet February 10, 2023  This week: We’re headed to the great outdoors in Patagonia. The lesser-known side of Patagonia An avid hiker, I spent the last part of January closing the rings of my Apple Watch by trekking the new trails of Parque Patagonia Argentina. Yes. Argentina.  If you thought this was a typo – you’re not alone. My cab driver to the airport in Buenos Aires was convinced I misspoke as well.  The lesser-visited part of Patagonia showcases a completely different landscape than neighboring Chile. What's more, an exciting rewilding effort is underway which includes reintroducing predators like the puma. I spotted guanaco, viscacha and –  yes – a puma (from a distance!).  This week, we’re spotlighting some of the places where you can reconnect with nature.   – Melissa Yeager, Senior Editor Read more Inspiration to get outside See the Chile side of Patagonia To see the difference in landscape between Chilean and Argentine Patagonia, take a look at these photos from photographer Evan Ruderman's recent trip to Chile’s epic Torres del Paine.
