The beginnings of an adventure
An old story becomes true...
The expedition by kayak spans the thousands of kilometers between the harshness of the south and the North’s civilisation.
Our project is based on personal and intimate aspirations: by separating ourselves from our daily lives, we aim to imagine another way of life. We didn’t realize twelve years ago, when we first met, that we would develop a common fascination for a legendary land: Patagonia. Alexandre made several self-organised expeditions through its forests and mountains; Inti has traced his Chilean roots through Patagonian myths and histories in the tradition of explorers before him.
In October 2006, they realized their common passion and consolidated their energy and determination into Patagonia 2009. A journey was born: difficult but possible.
Occidental Patagonia exerts a formidable force – it’s the meeting point of sea, mountains and ice, a place of extreme solitude. There is a feeling of loneliness floating over this place. Hard and isolated conditions are the reasons for this trip: a revival of the senses, self-reflection, to create a feeling of togetherness.
This website will provide the key details about “Patagonia 2009” – our aims and how you can contribute to making Patagonia 2009 happens.
