After hosting a group of 18 travelers for a week in Patagonia, Kristi and I spent five days trekking through El Chalten, which can be seen in Parts 2 and 3. And now, we're setting off to drive some of Patagonia's loneliest landscapes, on empty dirt roads many miles from the nearest human. Travel here is a bit intimidating, and is a famous destination for overlanding, motorcycle adventures, and more. But for those who explore these empty places, some truly great things await.
