Resumen

The aim of this article is to explore the healing capacity of travel, as
exemplified in the travel account, Between Extremes. It also analyses how
landscapes and locations have been mythologized, converted into sites of exilic exploration, Patagonia particularly. These sites then become places to enable the recovery of self and identity.
