V!VA User‘s Description

The Argentine Patagonia starts in central Argentina and stretches from the Río Colorado to the Straits of Magellan. It is a vast, desolate haven for naturalists with very few inhabitants outside of the coastal cities. The Patagonia Region is filled with unique animals like penguins and elephant seals, along with windswept and barren land, and lakes. From November –May fishing aficionados seek trout, salmon and native species like trahira in rivers and streams in the Andean foothills.
