2. The name “Patagonia” involves the Portuguese
explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who in the course of
his voyage around the world and discovery of the
Strait of Magellan, was reading the novel
“Primaleón,” by Francisco Váquez, a story of the
adventures of the knight for whom the book is
named.
In one of the episodes, Primaleón encounters a
giant by the name of Panthagon, and Magellan
attaches this name to the first native he meets.
There was perhaps some logic to this,as the original
indigenous tribes of Patagonia (Tehuelches), were
very impressive physically.

"The plains of Patagonia are boundless, for they are scarcely passable, and hence unknown: they bear the stamp of having
lasted, as they are now, for ages, and there appears no limit to their duration through future time.” Charles Darwin, 1834
