Patagonia is nature at its very best. A land of mystery and stunning beauty it has captivated humans since Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan discovered the place as the first European to set foot in 1520 during his voyage around the world. Patagonia is often seen as lying at the end of the world because it seems so detached from civilization. Despite its mystery Patagonia occupies a quarter of the Argentinean land. To this day the number one economic activity is resembled in the sheep grazing industry. Further to this, farmers grow alfalfa, apples and pears near the Colorado and Negro river valleys. Nature as pristine and desolate as Patagonia is hardly found anywhere else on this earth today.
Real estate property in Patagonia is reminiscent of the old times. It isn’t uncommon to find beautiful ranches that allow the owner to kick back and live life doing nothing but fly fishing and hunting to spend the time. The steppes of Patagonia are flecked with sheep and build a lonely but picturesque image. Perhaps Patagonia isn’t for the person who seeks an active and exciting lifestyle, but more so for the one who appreciates solitude, wide open spaces and natural beauty.
