The book chronicles the Jesuit expedition initiated by the Spanish crown to explore the coast of what is now known as the Patagonia region, aimed at assessing potential sites for settlement and observing the geography and native populations. The narrative unfolds through the experiences of Lozano and his fellow Jesuits, particularly focusing on the efforts of Fathers Quiroga and Cardiel during their journey from Buenos Aires to the Strait of Magellan. The account details their challenges at sea, including severe weather and navigational difficulties, as well as their findings on land, where they often encountered barren landscapes with limited resources. The explorers vividly describe various locations, marine wildlife, and various attempts to engage with indigenous peoples. Ultimately, the Jesuits concluded that the coast was unsuitable for settlement due to a lack of freshwater, fertile land, and adequate wood for fuel, contradicting earlier claims made by foreign voyagers about rich rivers and settlements in the area.
