?The name Patagonia comes from the word patagón[1] used by Magellan to describe the native people whom his expedition thought to be giants.
This park is one of the most beautiful places on the planet and is well worth the long visit. The famed "W" circuit is typically where people go for a long hike. Please post your thoughts and pictures.
There are many options for hiking here. Day trips, longer "W" circuit, rock climbing (if you like that) and even glaciering!
