The Patagones or Patagonian giants were a race of giant humans rumoured to be living in Patagonia and described in early European accounts. They were said to have exceeded at least double normal human height, with some accounts giving heights of 13 to 15 feet (4 to 4.5 m)[1] or more. Tales of these people would maintain a hold upon European conceptions of the region for nearly 300 years.[2]
