Cultural Discoveries

The Patagonian experience is not just devoted to environmental pursuits. Patagonia's fascinating history is told through it diverse cultures, unique traditions, and larger-than-life characters.

Indiginous people have lived for centuries relying on the land's bountiful natural resources. Intrepid explorers including Ferdinand Magellan and anthropologist Charles Darwin later made their mark exploring these lands. Modern Patagonia is heavily influenced by the recent arrival of European immigrants who settled the region over the past 100 years.
