Patagon Journal #29

Our cover story takes us to the Cochamo district in Chile’s Los Lagos region, home to the Puelo Valley and boundless natural beauty. Also in Issue 29, Victoria Traxler writes about finding microplastics in remote, supposedly pristine Patagonian lakes; Gary Hughes takes us to the Nahuelbuta mountain range to shows us what the environmental and social destruction caused by large-scale tree plantations looks like; Pedro Rivas writes about his historic, solo kayak expedition around Lake General Carrera; Patagon Journal interviews Amy Lewis of the WILD Foundation; and Ines de Ros writes about how a longtime sheep ranch at Estancia Cerro Guido is reinventing itself while protecting the puma in Patagonia.
