Patagonia Reaction # 3

Even in the most unexpected areas of the world, things change. Whether it is nature it self changing or human impact, things eventually change. Like any other place in the world, Patagonia has been through a great amount of human interaction since the mid 70's. Bruce Chatwin's experience in Patagonia, as seen in his book, took place way back in the 1970's and the description he provides to the readers, now days is extremely inaccurate. Patagonia since then has become a central hub for tourism and people all over the world come down here to check it out. So if it is a popular tourism area, then how much has changed? From being a unpopulated, completely natural area, it comes close to a city now with all the buildings, hotels and lodges provided for the tourism. Of course, back in Chatwins time, people could easily go visit the beautiful area, but received less attention and was equally or maybe a better experience than it is now. It was a pure experience rather than now where you cannot really experience the true beauty Patagonia has to offer and this is because it has been taken over by numerous companies as it is the untapped market not only for tourism but for many other things as well. Although it has come down to this, the country has managed to generate a lot of income for their own benefit through this so it still has something good coming from it. Also, many people consider the beauty of Patagonia being modified or altered rather than destroyed in order to please and satisfy the ordinary customer visiting a beautiful, touristic place that Patagonia is.
