Traveling to Patagonia should be easier and more accessible
For most people, Patagonia feels like a far off dream: a land of icy towers, dynamic glaciers, and pure nature that is too expensive to experience. If you’ve done research online about traveling to Patagonia or read a “regular” guide book, you may think that it costs a hundred dollars a day or more to visit.
In reality, Patagonia can cost just $30/day!

How Do I Know?
In 2015 and 2016, I spent 92 days in Patagonia. Despite warnings about exorbitant prices from guide books and travel blogs, I traversed the entire length and width of the region on the astounding price of $26 a day, sparking the inspiration for this project. Now, my intent is to make the beauty and wonder of Patagonia more accessible for everyone.
