Southern Chile: Living on the Most Southerly Locations on Earth

We embark on a journey to the distant and remote region of Patagonia, known for its scarce population and stunning beauty. At the southernmost tip of South America, we discover the fragile yet awe-inspiring landscapes of Southern Chile.

Our first encounter is with Carlos Barria, a seaman and cattleman who resides in one of the most southerly locations on Earth. His ranch is situated near the legendary Cape Horn, offering a glimpse into a world far removed from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Next, we meet Philippe Reuter, an enthusiastic mountaineer who calls the base of the Andes' immense glaciers home. With a passion for exploration, he invites us to witness the breathtaking vistas and natural wonders that only the Patagonian wilderness can provide.

Lastly, we encounter Jorge Arratia, a guide with a deep understanding of the balseros, the skilled raftsmen of Patagonia. In a remote valley, we witness the hard work of lumberjacks as they harvest cypress wood and transport it down the Rio Baker to the sea, where it is used to build homes and structures throughout the region.

I recently spent two weeks hiking around Torres del Paines. The land is absolutely gorgeous but the real treasure is the Chilean people. Everyone was so warm and polite and generous. Bless the Chilean people!

Such simplicity of outlook; no city-bred neuroses or ideological fixations. Just what we should all be - at one with Nature and the environment. Nature is free, beauty is free, work is free, relationships with others are not forced, but natural, based on the daily work. Such lives are hardy, straightforward, and exemplary. Thank you for this video.

This is a very great way of life. Although I do not understand Carlos speaking, I believe that with every word that he says Carlos loves where he lives and his life and he would not trade this for anything.
This is how a documentary should be made just like they used to be thank you. 👍

magnifique reportage, le courage de ces hommes, leur travail, dans des conditions d'une dureté incroyable. Il y a 15 ans ou plus je suis allé au Chili. Punta Arenas, un tour en voiture dans la parc Torres del paiine, un souvenir inoubliable, et des gens chaleureux.

[danawilliams]

It’s good to see how these amazing special people, who live in an amazing special place on earth, appreciate and love the nature all around them. That’s the way it should be. What a great life! And I learned a lot about Patagonia and loved the footage. Great documentary thank you for making this!

I long for a life like this. I'm from a small town in Northeastern India. I worked and lived in one of the most densely populated metropolitan cities in the world, Mumbai for 7 years. Man it has taken a toll on me. I hate cities. It's nature and simple life for me. I'd give it all up for that kind of peace.
