Big Patagonia, a Big Magazine Project

Explore the most spectacular scenic route in the world.

Our project proposes to create an emotional relationship 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 as a model to follow in terms of conservation and sustainable development.

The Route of Parks of Chilean Patagonia 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 connects the Carretera Austral—which winds its way along Chilean Patagonia—with the Patagonian Channels and the Ruta del Fin del Mundo (“The End of the World Route”), featuring many other spectacular highlights along the way. The route’s pristine landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and local and endemic flora and fauna––combined with the rich history and cultural heritage maintained by the more than 60 local communities living 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.
