Nothing quite prepares anyone for Patagonia, mostly because Patagonia takes immense pride in ignoring whatever preparations you’ve made. Within minutes, it becomes painfully obvious, by every conceivable standard, that most humans are spectacularly unqualified for what lies ahead.
The only remotely sensible strategy is to concentrate on not dying and to place all remaining faith in a best friend who possesses the rare and deeply concerning skill of appearing calm while reality attempts to push everyone into the nearest fjord.
Among landscapes that seem designed to inspire awe, confusion, and mild terror, and on a diet suspiciously reliant on instant mashed potatoes, travellers may emerge stronger, wiser, or simply more aerodynamic. One thing is guaranteed: Patagonia leaves its mark. Sometimes metaphorical, sometimes literal, and occasionally in footprints far larger than anyone remembered making.
Kindle eBook coming soon.
