Most road trips start somewhere familiar and head into the unknown. This one starts at the bottom of the world and works its way back. From Ushuaia — as far south as the road goes — the Lando rolls north through Patagonia's raw wilderness, past glaciers and granite towers and skies that refuse to be ordinary. By the time Santiago appears on the horizon, you'll have earned every kilometre of it.
Two of South America's greatest hits, connected by the roads in between. It starts in the wild south — glaciers, granite towers, campfire smoke — and ends with Rio losing its mind for Carnival. Getting between those two worlds the slow way, overland through the spine of Patagonia, is the part nobody talks about. It should be.
Patagonia doesn't give itself up to people who fly over it. You earn it — kilometre by kilometre, on a road trip that runs all the way from Santiago to the end of the world. Climb aboard the Lando and roll south through volcanic lakes, ancient forests, and glaciers the size of small cities. This is the long way down. It's worth every mile.
