  • Puro Incentivo
    PURO INCENTIVO UN MUNDO APARTE Adentrarse en la parte norte de la carretera austral, en la región chilena de Aysén y en plena Patagonia, es lo mismo que penetrar en un universo desconocido. Es un paisaje único, el de las bellas postales patagónicas, que sirve además de marco para actividades inolvidables. 54 Región de Aysén (Chile) Por Rocío López Alemany Los límites de la Patagonia son difusos y se pierden en algún punto entre la región de Los Lagos y la Antártida chilena. Entre medias se extienden dos regiones que pertenecen a Chile desde el punto de vista administrativo: la de Aysén y la de Magallanes. Ambas son testigo de cómo el paisaje va cambiando. El océano Pacífico y la cordillera de los Andes, el conjunto montañoso más grande de la tierra, generan un paisaje de picos nevados, fiordos y pequeñas islas donde detenerse y recapacitar sobre la fuerza sobrehumana de la naturaleza. Son escenarios perfectos para la práctica de kayak, rafting, trekking... así como pausas saludables en termas y piscinas naturales. En la región de Aysén la Carretera Austral se divide en dos rutas, la norte y la sur. El recorrido completo se extiende 1.240 kilóme- tros. La zona sur se caracteriza por un paisaje más sosegado y seco y la norte, por las lluvias intermitentes que provocan que el entorno ofrezca una mayor paleta de colores en los que impera el verde. Es un paisaje poco iluminado por la luz del astro rey: los habitantes de la Patagonia Chilena sólo cuentan con 30 días de sol al año.

One of its most unique features is having territory in three world A LAND OF regions: South America, Oceania, and Antarctica. CONTRASTS Its continental length from north to south reaches over 4,300 kilometers in a narrow strip of land between the rugged Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Such a great expanse gives way to an array of privileged landscapes, beginning with the planet’s most arid desert, transitioning through a fertile central valley, down through a land of lakes and volcanoes and ending in the glaciers, fjords, and granite mountains of wild Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego – the farthest reaches of the continent.

  • Green Infrastructure in Patagonia: Sharing the Recent Chilean Land Conservation Experience with the European Conservation Community Working Paper WP18TD1
    Green Infrastructure in Patagonia: Sharing the Recent Chilean Land Conservation Experience with the European Conservation Community Working Paper WP18TD1 Tilmann Disselhoff Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) Tom Kirschey Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) November 2018 The findings and conclusions of this Working Paper reflect the views of the author(s) and have not been subject to a detailed review by the staff of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Contact the Lincoln Institute with questions or requests for permission to reprint this paper. [email protected] © 2018 Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Abstract This paper attempts to capture some of the early lessons from the creation of a new National Park Network in Chilean Patagonia. We argue that the National Park Network of Patagonia constitutes green infrastructure in its own right – a connected, coherent ensemble of protected areas that provide habitat for wildlife, ensure the provisioning of ecosystem services and offer opportunities for nature-based recreation and a burgeoning sustainable tourism industry. We outline open questions and challenges concerning the Network’s future governance and management and propose options for its further development. Keywords: Chile, large landscapes, green infrastructure, conservation, sustainable tourism About the Author(s) Tilmann Disselhoff is the coordinator the European Private Land Conservation Network (ELCN), a project of the European Commission’s LIFE Programme. He serves on the Steering Committee of the International Land Conservation Network, which he helped to found in 2014. He has worked on various conservation initiatives for the European Commission, the German Federal Environmental Ministry and the German Federal Environmental Foundation and served as the coordinator for the National Network for Nature, an umbrella organization for conservation landowners in Germany, until 2016.

  • One Month Patagonia Travel Itinerary
    www.worldlyadventurer.com PATAGONIA T R A V E L I T I N E R A R Y F O R O N E M O N T H FREE EBOOK GUIDE One Month Patagonia Travel Itinerary One of the best – and most frustrating – parts about exploring Patagonia is how there’s an almost never- ending list of spectacular natural formations, unspoilt nature and incredible off-the-beaten-trail adventures to be found. Why is that frustrating? Well, having now spent over two months travelling in Patagonia, I still feel like I’ve only skimmed the surface. Ultimately, Patagonia is a place where you could keep coming back and never really feel like you’ve seen it all. If you’ve only four weeks, this is ample time for seeing the region’s highlights. In one month, expect to stand in awe at the snouts of Argentina’s finest glaciers, trek through wild scenery, cruise through the Chilean fjords, hike in one of the world’s most famous national parks and road trip to some of Patagonia’s remotest places. Unfortunately, there just isn’t time to visit the Carretera Austral with this route; if you want to (and I recommend you do), consider travelling the Carretera Austral southwards from Puerto Montt and into Argentina Patagonia at the Villa O’Higgins crossing instead. This should add at least ten days to your trip and you can find information about exploring Patagonia's finest road using this article about the Carretera Austral page 2 www.worldlyadventurer.com What equipment do you need for Patagonia? Camping gear Camping equipment is useful, although not entirely essential for this itinerary around Patagonia.

  • Patagonia 2019-20
    Willis's Walkabouts: Patagonia 2019-20 Carretera Austral Southern Chile: About 4 Weeks; December 2019 - January 2020 Several people have asked for a relatively easy trip so this will be the easiest Patagonia trip we’ve ever run. While there will be some strenuous walking and lots of camping, it might not be necessary to carry an overnight pack on any of the walks or we may choose to do a walk or two where carry a pack a relatively short distance to a shelter which we can use as a base for day walks. There is no other tour like this on the travel market. Instead of a fixed itinerary, there is a general outline and a rough indication of how much time each section will take. If one area turns out to be especially good, we have the flexibility to spend extra time there. Transport during the trip will be primarily rental cars and, of course, your own feet. On our longest intended walk, you can opt to pay for a horse to carry you pack for you. Why use a Darwin-based firm for a South American tour? On pages 69 and 70 of the 1998 edition of the Lonely Planet book, Trekking in the Patagonian Andes, the author listed 11 companies from five countries which offer treks in the region. Nine were listed without comment. One was listed as "recommended", one as "highly recommended." Willis's Walkabouts is the latter. We’re still going strong and doing the same kind of trips. On our trips you do some of the lesser known walks, walks which take you away from the crowds that walk the well known tracks each season.
