Avant d'y aller, j'ai découvert la Patagonie dans des livres : sur un conseil d'un ami proche, j'avais lu "En Patagonie" de #BruceChatwin.
Ce qui avait attisé sa curiosité avant d'y aller lui-même était un animal préhistorique mystérieux dont il avait vu un morceau de peau au musée. Le "Mylodon", découvert dans la "caverne du Mylodon".
Ce n'est pas bien loin de la petite ville de Puerto Natales. Ça faisait partie des points de passage obligés de mon voyage bien sûr !

Werner Herzog and Bruce Chatwin bonded over their love of adventure and travelling long distances on foot. When Chatwin was dying he gave Herzog his beloved rucksack and said, "You're the one who has to wear it now. You're the one who's walking."
