Patagonia Getting Lots of Press from Eco Tourism

Expat travel blogger and Patagonia resident Christie Pashby has posted an interesting piece on the increased media coverage of the region, and how most of it centers around so-called “eco gems” that are in abundance there. She sites a new article from Toronto’s The Globe and Mail which compares the Chilean and Argentine sections of Patagonia, both from a tourist and local perspective. The article focuses on landscape differences, natural resources, and the general attitude of the people living there. Outdoor and eco-friendly travel is popular in Patagonia, and continues to be a major source of income for the southern Argentine region. Many tour companies offer Patagonia packages which include skiing, trekking, fishing, and glacier exploration.
