Patagonia
What can one say about the Patagonia, except that it is one of
most beautiful places on earth.
It is wild... It is free...
It is escapism at its finest,
but most importantly...
It is FOR SALE!
As each day goes by, more and more people are finding out about this
"best kept secret" and rushing here to stake their claim before it's too late.
It's true that many (famous, and not-so-famous) "foreigners" have already purchased large tracts of land in central and western Patagonia,
but that doesn't mean that there is any lack of opportunity.
Quite the opposite.
At Patagonia Property Trust, we scour the region, laying low, keeping our ears to the ground for often overlooked opportunities... and we capitalize on them. Our team is highly qualified in knowing just how to find the deal and close it quickly.
We are very good at what we do and
we are highly respected throughout the region.
Below you will find a few interesting facts about the Patagonia region, but we very much encourage you to do the research for yourself, so as not just to take our word for it, as to the opportunities that are truly available.

Interesting Facts about the Patagonia
The Argentine Patagonia is an area found at the most southern tip of South America covering approximately 814,000 sq km (about 315,500 sq mi).
Argentina Patagonia Provinces (States) include:
-
Neuquen (94,000 sq.km, pop. 521,000)
-
Rio Negro (203,000 sq.km., pop. 595,000)
-
Chubut (225,000 sq.km., pop. 429,000)
-
Santa Cruz (244,000 sq.km., pop. 197,000)
-
Tierra del Fuego (48,000 sq.km., pop. 105,000)
Population = 1,847,000 (2000 census)
Average Population Density = 2.21 /km² (0.7 /km² in Santa Cruz Province)
Lago Argentino (Argentina Lake) in Santa Cruz Province is the largest lake in Argentina measuring 1560 km2 (936 square miles) and is the third largest lake in all of South America.
The Perrito Moreno Glacier, located in Santa Cruz Province, is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. It is 250 km2 (150 square miles) and 30 km (18 miles) in length. It is not "floating" as most glaciers, but rather is "scraping" against the earth and therefore, as it moves forward approximately 2 meters per day, it crashes on itself (with loud thundering cracks) and breaks off from its 5 km wide face. It stands 60 meters above sea level and on average 170 meters below sea level. It is 700 meters below sea level at its deepest point. The last time it had a massive rupture was in March, 2006. On average, it ruptures every 4-5 years, much to the tourists delight!
Lake Nahuel Huapi is 560 km2 (336 square miles) and 454 meters deep (nearly 1400 ft deep = 4.5 "football fields" deep).
The beautiful "Seven Lakes" Route between Bariloche and San Martin de los Andes consists of the following seven lakes: Lake Nahuel Huapi ("Island of the Tiger", referring to the massive Victoria Island in the middle measuring 31 km2 or 18.6 square miles) - Lake Correntoso ("Rapid Current" Lake)– Espejo ("Mirror" Lake) –Escondido ("Hidden" Lake)– Villarino Lake– Falkner Lake and Machónico Lake (named after the people who discovered them).
According to Antonio Pigafetta, one of the Magellan expedition's few survivors and its published chronicler, in the year 1520, Magellan bestowed the name "Patagão" (or Patagoni, which means "giant" or "big feet") on the inhabitants (Tehuelche Indians) they encountered there, as he described them as being "nine to twelve feet in height", and therefore, the name "Patagonia" was bestowed upon the entire region.
Naturalist Charles Darwin traveled to this arid region in the early 19th century (1836) on his famous journey aboard the HMS Beagle and spent time observing the impressive array of indigenous plant and wildlife species.
Patagonia contains some of the most diverse animal life and some of the most stunning landscapes in all of South America.
