This statue is in the center of the main square and commemorates (what?…) but the deal is you have to touch this guy’s toe. You can see that by the glistening.
Then one of two things will happen. The stories don’t actually conflict – maybe both will happen. You will come back to Patagonia and/or you will have sweet dreams. Both outcomes are welcome so of course I touched his toe. I did have sweet dreams and maybe I’ll come back to Patagonia.
I also saw pictures of people kissing his toe but nothing in the literature indicated that would be more effective.
