Is it Chile or Argentina?Β 

Map of Patagonia
As you can see in this map, the region (in red) is located at the very bottom of the continent of South America. It lies in both Chile and Argentina and covers a huge amount of land area.

Next step in figuring out the question, Where it is, is figuring out what country it is in. This question makes the original question of ‘Where is this mysterious wild land much more difficult to answer. That is because it is actually in both Chile and Argentina! As you can see by the map above, Patagonia is actually a region that encompasses nearly all of the southern tip of South America. So if you’re planning on visiting, adding other destinations for your trip to Chile or trip to Argentina is recommended.

So, to simplify, where is it?
