About Me
I'm Veb, the voice behind Go Wild Patagonia.
I always dreamed of traveling in Patagonia, even when I was growing up in India and had never traveled abroad. Having lived and grown up in the deep Himalayas in India, I had always a longing for traveling in the great mountain ranges of the world, especially in the Andes in Patagonia.
My first trip to Patagonia was in 2015 and since then I've spent many years and multiple trips traveling solo and in small groups in Chile and Argentina.
Through this blog, I want to share my experience and help other travelers explore the visceral beauty of Patagonia with a focus on adventure sports and wild travel.

Where to next?
Chile
Futaleufú is synonymous with world-class whitewater rafting. The Río Futaleufú (“Big River” in Mapudungun) carves through a spectacular canyon, creating consistent Class IV-V rapids with water so turquoise it defies photography. Kayakers and rafters worldwide consider this the holy grail: 50+ km of continuous whitewater, warm summer air (rare in Patagonia), and dramatic mountain backdrop.
Chile
Puerto Varas is the jewel of Chile’s Lake District, a charming town of German-influenced architecture perched on the southern shore of Lago Llanquihue, South America’s second-largest lake.
Argentina
El Calafate is the tourist capital of Argentine Patagonia, positioned on the shores of turquoise Lago Argentino. While the town itself is a modern service hub with hotels, restaurants, and tour operators, the real draw lies 80 km west: Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the world's most accessible and dynamic ice masses.
Argentina
Ushuaia proudly claims the title of the world's southernmost city, nestled between the Beagle Channel and the snow-capped Martial Mountains. This remote port city of 80,000 inhabitants serves as gateway to Antarctica, but it's also a remarkable destination in its own right.
