Big Patagonia, a Big Magazine Project

Explore the most spectacular scenic route in the world.

Our project proposes to create an emotional connection between one of the most pristine places on earth, Chilean Patagonia, with some of the most relevant and influential markets and cities in the world.

Chilean Patagonia will be positioned as a unique destination and model of conservation and sustainable development.

The Carretera Austral (Southern Highway) captures the heart of intrepid travelers as it winds its way through spectacular landscapes and connects the Patagonian Channels to the Ruta del Fin del Mundo (“The End of the World Route”).

Chilean Patagonia Route of Parks is a 1,700-mile (2.800km) scenic route spanning 17 National Parks between Puerto Montt and Cape Horn in Chile’s far south.

The route’s pristine landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and local and endemic flora and fauna––combined with the rich history and cultural heritage of more than 60 local communities in the region––make this destination truly one-of-a-kind.

These new National Parks, along with those already in existence, helped to form the Patagonian Route of Parks: 28 million acres of protected land in 17 National Parks––the equivalent of three times the size of Switzerland, or more than twice the size of Costa Rica.

To maintain the long tradition of Big Magazine, a hardcover limited edition will be published.

In our digital age, art books, and high quality prints and objects have become the new luxury items.

The Big Patagonia hardcover limited edition will be used as a special gift and available for purchase online and at special book stores.


Big Patagonia will also have a selection of the best boutique hotels in the 3 Regions of Chile, Los Lagos, Aysén and Magallanes that make up this route to guarantee the best travel experience from start to finish.


Relevant content flows naturally to social media. A recent Big Patagonia Instagram campaign reached more than 1.7 Million contacts in Chile.


A select automobile brand will be invited to partner with Big as a co-star of this project, and will be integrated into the multimedia content and subsequent promotion of this iconic series.
