Thanks and a hat tip to my friend Geoffrey McRae at Gateway to South America for the heads up on this new adventure trail!\u00a0 This is one of may favorite places on Earth and definitely God’s Country.<\/p>\n

Outdoor enthusiasts can now explore a massive trail that spans a third of Chile and encompasses over a dozen national parks and millions of hectares of protected land to explore.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Route of the Parks of Patagonia<\/a>\u00a0takes hikers on a 1,740-mile-long journey across 17 different national parks that stretch from Puerto Montt in\u00a0Chile\u2019s Lake District<\/a>\u00a0to Cape Horn, which is located in the\u00a0Tierra del Fuego archipelago.<\/p>\n

There are more than 60 communities that visitors can explore along the way, with the entire trail encompassing three different regions and a total of 11.5 million hectares of protected land.<\/p>\n

The scenic route, which also integrates existing routes like the\u00a0Carretera Austral<\/a>, was created to both put Chile on the map as a country filled with natural attractions and to serve as an example of conservation,\u00a0Carolina Morgado, executive director of Tompkins Conservation Chile\u00a0said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n
