It doesn’t matter what language they speak, what culture they come from, their profession or social status. Patagonia automatically translates across all of these things when you show them the color of a glacier, the unexpected richness of the flora and fauna on the islands, or invite them to travel back in time to a point where you can almost hear and see the Yamanas sailing the Beagle Channel. Or simply get them to experience a moment of silence in the heights above Wulaia Bay while the wind tenderly brushes their faces. Those small moments with a little touch of magic and passion can so easily turn into *the* experience of their lives . . . and for me, watching that happen is priceless.
