Patagonia

Huge and wild spaces, windswept and intensely bright, Patagonia has never known the massive human intervention except in small towns scattered in its territory. 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.
In this unique area live some uniques species of animals and therefore protected: is the case of the Andean condor, the Magellanic penguins, the guanasco and Patagonian fox.

Ushuaia

Capital of the province of Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia remained more or less uninhabited and unknown to the rest of the world until 1947, before it was used as a maximum security penal colony. It was precisely the prisoners, forced to extend the local climbing path, construct buildings and clearing large areas, to kick off the development of the city. After closing the penitentiary the Argentine government entrusted the construction of the city to an Italian entrepreneur and later many of the workers and technicians involved in the project settled there with their families.
The center today is characterized by attractive nineteenth century buildings, pubs, hotels and restaurants where you can taste the local fish specialties. The most fascinating attraction remains, however, the nature: those rocks, those ices and those plants that suggest the atmosphere of “end of the world.” A harsh land, harsh and inhospitable, but fascinating for both locals and tourists who visit it every year.
