Puerto Madryn

Right.

I mean, today you can stand on the shoreline of Puerto Madryn and hear the thunderous echoing exhale of whale spouts right off the beach.

It's magical.

And speaking of Puerto Madryn, we cannot talk about the adaptation of life in Patagonia without looking at the humans who chose to settle in these harsh conditions.

Right, the human geography.

Because the cultural geography of Patagonia is just as unexpected as the physical geography.

The immigration patterns of the late 19th and early 20th centuries created these surreal cultural enclaves that completely contrast with the surrounding wilderness.

Exactly.
