Coyle

The Coyle River crosses the dry steppe of southern Patagonia towards the Atlantic. Its valley lies within the country of the Aonikenk, whose territory extended between the Santa Cruz River and the Strait of Magellan. Grasslands, low plateaus and sheltered river valleys formed the setting for their journeys and hunting. The river descends from the Andean foothills across a landscape exposed to strong westerly winds.
