Patagon Journal #7

In this special "Photographic Issue," we feature four extensive photographic essays from some of the best photographers working today in Patagonia. Brian O’Keefe gives us stunning images of Patagonia from the perspective of fly fishing at the region’s rivers and lakes. We have a photo essay highlighting the minimalist photography of Pablo Valenzuela. There is an environmental photo essay from Bridget Besaw. And Augusto Dominguez contributes a nature photo essay from the wilds of Patagonia. Other articles include, among others, a surprising packrafting trip on the Chacabuco River in the new Patagonia Park. We interview Kris Tompkins, the leader of Conservacion Patagonica, the non-profit organization that is building Patagonia Park. Niels Tietze tells about his first ascent of "El Hermano," a mountain near Rio Correntoso in Palena. And our columnist Rodrigo Sandoval writes about fly fishing for salmon.
