So depending on the chosen definition the Greater Patagonian Trail gets in casting distance to Patagonia at the end of section GPT05 where you can view for the first time over the border into Argentina into the province Neuquén. But with a different understanding you enter Patagonia on section GPT13 where you cross the Río Biobío, or on section GPT16 where you reach the administrative region XIV (Región de los Ríos) or on section GPT22 where you finally reach the Estuarió de Reloncaví and with this you step on terrain that is doubtless Patagonia.

But all this does not matter if wish to discover “real Patagonia”. What matters most is an open mind and readiness for the true diversity of this region. If your expectation and knowledge of Patagonia is based on a brief Google search and a few articles about Patagonia than you probably have seen only the three heavily hyped tourist magnets:

1. the national park Torres del Paine

2. the glacier Perito Moreno and

3. the surrounding of El Chalten with Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre.
