Patagonia is the portion of South America mainly in Argentina and partly of Chile made up of the Andes mountains to the west and south and plateaus and low plains to the east. The name Patagonia comes from the Spanish word Patagon (Bigfoot) used by sailors in Magellan's voyage to describe native people they thought to be giants. Most people now believe the Patagons were actually Tehuelches and Ainoken with an average height of 1.80m compared to the 1.55 average for Spaniard by the time.
