Skate Escape: Patagonia – A Road Trip to the End of the Earth | Part 1

You know it’s not your typical trip when you’re surrounded by whales, penguins and the desert. Simply put, Patagonia is a majestic region. It stretches along the south of Chile and Argentina and runs from mountain ranges filled with snow and pristine lakes, to the deserted coast that lies about 1,000km away.
