A remarkable Patagonia adventure travel collaboration
Portrait of Patagonia – Futaleufú, Chile truly captures the singular essence of Chilean Patagonia – a uniquely wonderful collaboration between Liz and Alex. It’s a full-colour photography book that draws both upon sensitive and insightful stories from locals and stirring images from Chile’s Futaleufú River Valley.
Futaleufú encompasses the river, of course, as well as many villages and towns. All are defined by the legendary warmth of the local people as much as by the intense and rugged beauty of the vast yet serene landscape.
The lure of the legendary Futaleufú River, or The Fu: the clarity and colour of the water, the lush forest on its banks, the speed and volume of water and the technicality of her rapids. It’s what put this Valley on the map. Now a world-class whitewater rafting destination, the Futaleufú River has attracted river runners from around the world and Patagonia adventure travellers for decades. But, it’s more than just the river.
It’s the people that make this place truly special. Throughout the book, Liz and Lex offer you a glimpse into the heart of life in Futaleufú. Enjoy personal interviews accompanied by striking portrait photography. Portrait of Patagonia – Futaleufú, Chile honours the culture, traditions, and history of this extraordinary place in Chilean Patagonia.
