Patagonia (Spanish pronunciation: [pa.ta.ˈɣo.ni̯a]) is a sparsely populated region located at the southern end of South America, shared by Argentina and Chile. Comprising the southern Andes mountains as well as the deserts, steppes, and grasslands east of the southern Andes, Patagonia has two coasts: a western one towards the Pacific Ocean, and an eastern one towards the Atlantic Ocean.

It debuted in Asphalt 8: Airborne as a race track.

Patagonia was added in the Lunar New Year 2017 Update in early 2017. It is the first and currently only track added in 2017.

Patagonia has four tracks:
 * Avalanche Alley / Crystal Lake
 * Ice Cave / The River Fort

Patagonia features various shortcuts that zip through varying vegetation, including ice caves, snowy mountains, and grassy lands. There is a cave tunnel reminiscent of Sector 8's tunnel pipes, but much wider and with permanent rock columns that act as obstacles.
