Quarantanove giorni di cammino in tre regioni, Terra del Fuoco, Aysén e Patagonia, per un totale di 700-800 chilometri in solitaria e 3.100 euro di spesa complessiva. Roberto Regini (41 anni), l’intrepido viaggiatore originario di Empoli che ha deciso di dedicare buona parte della sua vita a “esplorare” il mondo, è appena rientrato dalla sua ultima avventura con lo zaino in spalla (www.robyexplorer.net). “Sono partito lo scorso 31 gennaio, scegliendo come al solito un periodo fuori stagione per evitare i grandi afflussi turistici, le spese elevate e soprattutto per avere l’occasione di vivere più intensamente i luoghi che attraversavo”.
