	CHILE TRAVEL GUIDE
		Just one detail to add to what may be observed in Chilean Patagonia (Magellan area), a land of striking contrasts, with glaciers that were formed at the time the Egyptian pyramids were built, and islands located at the far edges of civilization in an icy and savage natural environment.
		A lot of islands, canals and fiords are found in this spot in Chile, an area that was formerly home to four ethnic groups: the Aonikent, who would later be known as the "Patagones" or "Tehuelches"; the Selknam or "Onas", the Kaweskar or "Alakalufes" and the Vamana, who settled in Cape Horn.
		The discovery of the Magellan area was a result of the urgent need of 16th century Spain and Portugal (sea powers at the time) to find a western sea route to China, Japan, India and the Moluccas, the "spice lands".
