[Music] patagonia is so kind of raw and powerful and i'm just fortunate enough to be here to witness a part of it patagonia is [Music] this place is tough and and something about that makes it super

ice fields with their impressive glaciers join us hitchhiking to the most remote areas of the region be our trekking companion and most importantly enjoy the scenery this is the patagonia [Music] expedition [Music] after traveling through patagonia in 2013 and documenting that trip on a low quality camera i always wanted to come back with better equipment and more time to visit all the places i've missed and to revisit those spots that blew my mind three years later i came up with a rough itinerary based on my previous adventures and i teamed up with fellow travel blogger kristen addis from be my travel muse after working together on video projects in finland austria and northern ireland instead of going from south to north i wanted to do it the other way around this time starting in bariloche argentina and finishing in torres del paine chile over the course of all together eight weeks with many outdoor adventures in between after spending a few days in buenos aires to adjust we took a domestic flight south patagonia starts a bit further north of barry lodge in argentina located inside the now well wapi national park bariloche with its combination of mountains lakes and green forests is the perfect place to start this whole adventure [Music] okay guys we start this patagonia adventure here in bariloche which is also famous for its chocolate all the chocolate including the chocolate covered raspberries [Music] is not only famous for its chocolate it's also famous for the seven lakes the best way to see the numerous lakes around barry lodge is a road trip so we rented a car and drove along the ruta de sierte lagos till san martin de los [Music] [Music] all right guys we are on the way to the most beautiful viewpoint of bodylodger close to body lotion called cerro campanario it only takes about 20 minutes if you're in good shape and as we are in good shape it will only take us 25 minutes mountain goat kristin is making her way [Music] hola chicos we're about to do our first hike and for this one we chose the trek to the tronador from pampalinda vamonos [Music] the track we are doing is actually also doable in one day but then you only get to see the beginning of the glacier we want to see more this is why we hike up to the refugio automailing and we will camp out there to put our outdoor gear to a proper test before we hike into more difficult terrain and i think it's a good start to camp out next to a glacier it's renador there it is the dronendora and here you can see where we started it's really beautiful over there this is pampalinda this is starting point we're such good hikers it took us only four hours we're almost there the last part was a bit rocky and very steep but now we're next to the glacier here it is the glacier and there is our refugio and we will camp next to that [Music] we made it to the refugio ottoman this is the building here and we're camping right next to that [Music] good morning it was really cold tonight but the good thing about this spot is you get rewarded in the morning because the sunrise here is pretty cool [Music] good morning kristen time to move on goodbye otto meiling refugio we're going down to see this glacier here from the bottom because there are a lot of waterfalls let's do this to the glacier and to see the glacier it's an hour more and then we head back so when we head back we have three hours left to catch our bus kristen are you ready to do a bit more tracking oh yeah oh yeah [Music] enjoyable hike kristin yeah it was beautiful but it was long about 40 kilometers and we can still see the toronto where we just came from it's back there in the clouds so we just made it back in time so i would say just an amazing hike cheers hola from cathedral and during the winter time this is the largest ski resort in south america and we're going up with the lift today to do a hike we are going to refuge all right guys we made it to the top of cerro cathedral and yesterday we were over there at the tronador we're now at the intersection where it goes down to fray from here to the lagoon where we have [Music] all right guys we made it to the refugio fray [Music] and we're heading back [Music] on the next day it was time for us to leave bariloche for chile on a six-hour lasting bus journey we crossed the border and drove via usono to puerto varas where we prepared for our hitchhiking adventure along the caritera austral the road number seven is a true paradise for adventure seekers in south america located in the south of chile te karere austral is a predominantly unpaved road that connects the most remote areas of the country from puerto monde in the north more than 1 200 kilometers to via o'higgins in the very south until the 1970s this part of the continent was only accessible by air transport or by boat the construction of the caritera australia was commenced in 1976 under the dictatorship of augusto pinochet in order to strengthen the chilean presence in these isolated territories and to ensure the land connection of the remote communities to the rest of the country nowadays the cairetera austral is the most scenic route through patagonia characterized by dense forests secluded fjords massive glaciers powerful rivers and steep mountains when i hitchhiked the entire stretch from south to north in 2013 for the first time i only had about a week and i missed a lot of the natural wonders along the way therefore our plan was to spend about three weeks to get from puerto monde to via higgins by thump to get in touch with locals fellow adventurers and to do a couple of tracks and tours along the way but for the first stretch from puerto monte to shy 10 we chose public transport as we need to take a couple of ferries to cross through the fjords [Music] covering the first part of the carretera australia adventure and the next part we're going to hitchhike down to the most remote part of south america but first up is chaten to get from the start of the road seven in puerto montt to chaitin you have to make three long ferry crossings through the fjords of patagonia and its temperate rainforest these are particularly impressive at the pumalin park which is situated between honopiren and chaitan it is one of the first conservation projects by the american douglas tompkins founder of the north face who bought large areas of land in this region to put them under protection [Music] so we made our way to shaitan which was destroyed by a volcano when and eight years ago eight years ago so in may 2008 the chaitan volcano which is over there in the back you can't see because of the clouds this volcano erupted after 900 years of inactivity and it basically destroyed the whole city by a big flood so the ash came down it damped the river which we are walking next to right now and then made the river overflow but the whole city was evacuated before so nobody was killed but the whole city was destroyed and now eight years after uh it comes back to life you have a lot of construction areas here around they build new streets and it seems a lot of inhabitants came back to live again in their old city we're packing our bags and we're heading out the first day of hitchhiking so it begins the first stretch hitchhiking the carretera look at us they look like turtles we did the first stretch on the character austria hitchhiking it was christian who took us from chaitin here to bien how was the ride kristen um bumpy it was really bumpy because the asphalt road turned into a gravel road and this is what is waiting for us for most of the cars so we still had about an hour's drive left to go on the day and unfortunately we were stuck for about eight hours trying to get a ride there was a lot of competition there were a lot of people waiting there also trying to get a ride but as everyone else kind of gave up we stuck around and just as we were thinking maybe we were going to quit we were able to get a ride after eight hours of waiting we made it to la junta and now we try to find a hostaria but this one [Music] good morning from la junta this is our starting point for today and we want to go to puyuwabi which is just one or two hours from here so they're just two guys in front of us this might be a good day we're waiting here in the rain for about two hours here in lagunda they're not many cars apart from all these hitchhikers they have few people who are more crazy than us and these are the people who are on a bike yeah push it push it and it is still raining but we switched our hitchhiking spot and as you see there are no cars so we need to play the waiting game [Music] all right people we're now in the back of the truck on the way from the junta to buick on a back of a truck we made it to puyawape and tomorrow we gonna visit the glacier cable up good morning people sergio is the guy over there [Laughter] he took us to the kyolab national park where he is the park ranger and now we're gonna see the glacier we're gonna hike up the kyolat national park contains 500 square kilometers of glacier cap mountains and virgin evergreen forests an early hike up to the viewpoint is the best way to see the park's centerpiece we made it to the tub and this behind me is the glacier kiolas [Music] [Music] so what does the chef recommend today paulta sandwich sandwich with palta tomate a little bit of chicken breast and a big portion of mayonnaise and now we do it like we always do it we try to get back via hitchhiking 20 kilometers [Music] which would be missed when you're traveling the car terrace good food and so we treat ourselves today with fish from the region and steak from the region and of course wine from the region [Music] [Applause] [Music] good morning from rainy puyola our plan for today is to get from pujuapi to koyake and this is our last view hopefully to put you up [Music] friends of hitchhiking and adventures we just had the most uncomfortable rides on this whole trip we were in the back of a pickup truck and thought it's maybe a good idea to squeeze in between motorcycles and bicycles how was it then everything went numb and these are not paved roads there's potholes everywhere so we were just this bumpy ride took us to the bosque encantado which is here but it's also very wet it's still raining we're totally soaked yeah we're waiting for the sun now all right guys we're again in the back of a pickup truck and this time celine and stanley took us they're standing over there isn't it adorable the ride on the back of celine and stanley's pickup truck turned out to be the most beautiful as the sun finally came out and we got to enjoy an open panoramic view of the incredible landscape from the bosque encantado all the way down to koike a stretch of altogether 160 kilometers we made it to koyakin and this is our ride bye we are on the road again we're leaving koyake today after a few days relaxing here charging up and we're heading to villa castillo which is somewhere there in the back you see these mountains as we found our right it's cesar brings us to villa castillo we go hiking tomorrow [Music] cesar not only made a few stops to show us his favorite spots along the way he also told us that he's in the process of building a hostel in viacero castillo to share the beauty of this region with travelers from all around the world so we're now at the construction area of cesar's future hostel which you can see here [Music] good morning today we're about to hike to lucero castillo this is the mountain over there but first we're gonna have breakfast so we got our water resources and now we're ready to go up hill the day hike to seto castillo is an alternative to the beautiful four-day trek from jorgetas to viacero castillo this is where we came from and when are we up here it's quite exhausting 1 000 meter of [Music] [Applause] elevation [Music] this down there was pretty impressive but now look what i found here we made it we made it cerro castillo is a jagged rocky peak located within the cerro castillo national reserve castillo means castle in spanish and the steep basalt walls of the mountain indeed make it look like one on its sides are a few small glaciers and lakes fed by them [Music] that was nice but now it's time to head back down to the valley to viacero castillo so this is cerro castillo and we're back in town we found dinner [Music] good morning guys we're up for going down to the next village to puerto rio tranquilo today by hitchhiking and rule number one about hitchhiking never do so on an empty stomach oh yeah hello so we are talking to you from richard and penny's car they picked us up about 15 minutes into the hitchhike which was good because the road was going to close in an hour and a half and we got a beautiful scenic ride [Music] [Applause] all right we got dropped off where we wanted to be tonight in puerto rio tranquilo [Music] it's time to show you what traveling really is like when you do this kind of things here because you don't find lavendarias all the way you have to wash your stuff next door is kristin doing her laundry this is this [Applause] the homemade laundry all right and here is the situation with electricity like most of the times you just have one plug so with the converter and the plug to plug in the power cube which has all these outlets [Music] hola from puerto rio tranquilo we are back with pato who's down there preparing the boats and you might remember that place because i was here three years ago when pato was my last lift when i came from the other side when i came from via higgins he took me to puerto rio tranquilo and later on took me out on these boats and now i met up with him again to do exactly the same thing [Music] the marble caves are an unusual geological formation located at the center of the general career lake which is also the second largest lake of chile they represent a group of caverns columns and tunnels formed into monolith of marble which have been formed by wave action over the last 6 200 years so now we can see the dog [Music] so we're back in the safe harbor how was it awesome beautiful [Music] we're today on an excursion because we're gonna see the glacier exploradores so we're now on our way it's like about a four hour hike to get to the ice with our guides this is claudia one of our gates we are standing on the ice with our crampons on [Music] and now we're gonna explore the exploratorius glacier is situated on the north eastern slope of monte san vandentin inside the laguna san rafael national park and is a part of the northern patagonian ice field this ice field is the smaller of two remnant parts in which the patagonian ice sheet in the end these mountains of lower south america can be divided nowadays it is completely contained within the boundaries of laguna san rafael national park but once the patagonian ice sheet was an extensive ice sheet that covered all of chilean patagonia and the westernmost parts of argentine patagonia during the quaternary glaciations today with its glaciers largely in retreat and only an area of 4200 square kilometers the northern patagonian icefield is still the second largest continuous mass of ice outside of the polar regions time to explore some ice caves we're going on the cave [Music] [Music] the early bird catches the ride too hopefully via higgins so we're leaving puerto rio tranquilo this beautiful place at the lake general carrera and we're hopefully going to cochrane and later on to the higgins because this is where we need to catch the boat to get to el salvador we are leaving puerto rio tranquilo this time on a bus and the reason why is because number one there's not much traffic going the way that we need to go down south and number two there's a bunch of cops and they're stopping people who are picking up people on the back of their trucks so that makes it pretty hard for hitchhikers so we're off to cochran now buenos dias from cochrane we take the bus early in the morning to the oh higgins because it's the same situation as in puerto rio tranquilo so we thought we'd just take the bus so 300 kilometers and then we are at the end of the carretera australia [Music] so we're one step closer to the higgins we're now on puerto jungae where we take the ferry which is coming there in the back you see that and then it's like one or two hours more [Music] we arrived in rio higgins which is the last village on the carter austral and we're gonna go up for the sun set to show you the aliens from above oh look at this [Music] the o'higgins itself is a very special place to give you an idea we asked philly the owner of the moscow hostel we stayed at to tell us why she decided to move here unluckily [Music] good morning from villa o'higgins we got invited for nosado yesterday night we got a little bit later today and we had a quite a big breakfast because we are going over there to the mirador to see the southern patagonian ice field oh yeah [Music] so we saw about three miradors now and we're now on the way to number four which is called mirador alta vista and the walk is quite scenic look at this look at this landscape these dogs are awesome they're showing us the way when we are lost they just go into the front and show us the way and then they are waiting for us fresh water from the glacier [Music] okay people have made it up and there over there is the patagonian ice field quite a view we are on our way back to vr higgins we're already a bit hungry time for a chocolate break chocolate is a winner on tracks [Music] good morning b.o higgins we're about to cross over to canada marcia today and we're going to see the o'higgins glacier it seems we made it to the end of the character [Music] the o'higgins lake is shared by chile and argentina and has a surface area of 1013 square kilometers the lake is the deepest in the americas with a maximum depth of 836 meters near o'higgins glacier its characteristic milky light blue color comes from rock flower suspended in its waters the o'higgins glacier located in the bernardo o'higgins national park is one of the principal glaciers of the southern patagonian ice field the summit of the active lautaro volcano is the top of the accumulation zone of the glacier the bulk of the glacier is part of the icefield plateau it flows eastward into o'higgins lake and is about two kilometers wide at the terminus [Music] oh [Music] so what do you do when you are at a glacier whiskey whiskey with glacier eyes [Music] we're in the most remote part of south america at least in chile so we're now um at candelario mancilla this is the road stop down there this is where we arrived earlier today and we are staying at the farm and uh in a room at the farm where we also have dinner [Music] good morning from candelario mancilla which we already left behind we're on the way to the border control before we before we cross the border for like about almost a whole day 22 kilometers yeah and the first 16 kilometers we will walk without our luggage yeah but the last five we have to take it ourselves because we thought there were horse porters but i guess they're they have the day off so uh we're gonna carry like 20 kilos each of stuff for about five k's so i don't know good practice for torres del plaine i guess oh yeah walking through no man's land for six kilometers already yeah we're literally in two places at once and the trees here have chilean flags patagonia after hiking for about 16 kilometers we made it to the actual border over there is chile and there is argentina go for it go to argentina ricardo just gave us the bags he drove them up as far as he could but since there are no horses we have to carry them the rest of the way through the mud and and steve's been really lovely and taking some of the weight from my bags but five kilometers is going to be a long way with all this this is a real challenge people are doing well so far it hurts but we need to fight [Music] like three backpacks i'm really backpacker steve so we see already the lago del docieto and in the back this is the fitzroy we finished the day by crossing the lago del di sieto this lake has been the subject of a territorial dispute between argentina and chile solved favorably for argentina in 1994 [Music] after spending the night at the southern shore we hitchhiked the remaining 37 kilometers to el chalten which was built in 1985 to help secure the disputed border with chile today it is argentina's trekking capital and one of the most beautiful hiking areas in patagonia good morning el chalten it is time for some day hikes today we're gonna hike to the laguna torre so we are halfway through walking through the flat area and we can see the serotonin [Music] so we made it through laguna torre and it's the first time i'm seeing these towers without clouds the serratore is the highest peak in a four mountain chain and a world famous climbing spot the top of the mountain often has a mushroom of rime ice formed by the constant strong winds increasing the difficulty of reaching the actual summit [Music] what do you think is it waffle time kristen it's waffle time [Music] another day another trail today we're gonna go see the fitzroy up close argentine explorer francisco moreno first saw the mountain in 1877. he named it fitzroy in honor of robert fitzroy who as a captain of the hms beagle had traveled up the santa cruz river in 1834 and shouted large parts of the patagonian coast the whole trail from el chalten to laguna de los tres is about 10 kilometers and it starts we're going up and then it flattens out and it's a really nice hike but the steepest part is the last hour and this is what we are about to approach now to see the glorious laguna de los tres it was very steep but we made it and this is the laguna de los tres and mount fitzroy first climbed in 1952 mount fitzroy remains among the most technically challenging mountains for mountaineers on earth montefitzroy is also the basis for the patagonia clothing logo following yvonne shinya's ascent and subsequent film in 1968. [Music] good morning once again from el chalten we're about to do all the hikes in hr10 and today the humor circuit the human circuit so we go to the park rangers to demonstrate our harnesses because we need to cross rivers with these harnesses and then we're about to go on our first stretch which should take us like seven hours to lago toro this is joachim and he will join us on the who hike [Music] these are the energy bars for the hikers [Music] we are hiking down here along the river to our campsite which is over there [Music] make your friends with the locals make your friends with the locals but maybe this could be dinner kristen should we switch dinner plans after 15 kilometers of hiking we finally arrived in our first campsite at lagutoro 10 set up complete we're having breakfast this porridge [Music] good morning from lago toro we are on our way up to the glacier rio tunnel and we want to go today on the pacifiento and we're now searching for the way to cross the river because last time i crossed the river actually over there where this guy is and then went up into this rocks but this time there is a rope and we have our harnesses with us so we can go up here and find a rope and then we can just go over the other side all right we made it to the road so it's christine's turn now over this raging river here [Music] so this is where we just crossed the river all right how was the zip lining it wasn't as bad as we thought we're now in the rocky part we're climbing up to see the glacier which is over there the glacier rio tunnel where all this water comes from we try to find our way over these rocks it's it's hard there are no marks or anything just these little stone hills these stupas but they're not here all the time and it's hard to find them in this terrain after hiking all the way up you know what's uh what's in order oh last part up and i feel like a mountain goat look at that all right guys we made it whoa this side is pretty cool but look at that side and when we over there we see the whole ice field so this is the south patagonian ice field this ice field extends 13 000 square kilometers and is the world's third largest reserve of fresh water so still these are our best friends we're trying to find our way down to the campamento barcelona we set up the tent and now it's time for dinner good morning from campamento del viento in the sunrise today is day number three and we are about to go to the next paso paso hulemul and then down to the lake lago [Music] vietnam all right before we get to the parcel who we walk all along the vietnam glacier which is over there you see that the ice here coming out of the south patagonian ice field is the jetma glacier which is carving into the yetma lake and this is the place where we will camp tonight right at the shore of the lake we stopped our hike to get some calafate berries to improve our breakfast for tomorrow [Music] so we're walking with the gps now to find our way [Music] the atma glacier is one of the icefield's 48 outlet glaciers that have more than 20 square kilometers of ice field area each all right people we're about to cross the parcel but it actually feels more like the paso de viento today it's really really windy but it's just a few hundred meters left up there [Music] yes we made it over the past and now we're going to the other side where we see now the lake and suddenly the wind stopped and we have the view to the lake this whole path is a challenge is there no part of this circuit that is pleasant to hike you need to earn you need to earn these views the beginning was cool but like the rest has just been a total beast [Music] we're almost finished the rainbow is leading the way to our camp then we can see the vietnam glacier all right we found some ice from the glacier vietnam so what do you do when you find ice you should lick it it's really really antique to taste good morning from the campsite next to the lake lago vietnam we get up early to see the sunrise and we were surprised by a lot of icebergs today in the bay because of really strong winds in the night which pushed the icebergs into this bay [Music] alright it's breakfast time with you last stretch we're going from the vietnam lake up and back to el chalten the last day is maybe the easiest day of the hummus circuit because you can find sticks here which you can follow there are markers and always in your back is the vietnam lake and the vietnam glacier [Music] we have to cross the same river again harnesses out we arrived at the bahia rio tournel and this means we have finished the circuit trail [Applause] we are still alive [Music] before taking on our next multi-day trek in chile we took a break in el calafate to pay a visit to one of the most impressive glaciers in patagonia good morning from erica lafate we're at the perrito mourinho glacier today in the national park called los glaciares so we're gonna show you the big glacier and pieces of ice falling off the [Music] glacier i'm standing right in front of the burrito mourinho glacier which has about 55 to 60 meters here it was actually connected to this little peninsula here about two weeks ago and this is what you still see the ice came all onto this land and then it built kind of an ice bridge which just collapsed two weeks ago here and then the one side of the lake got damned and it was 10 meters higher than the other side of the lake lago argentino and the pressure made this bridge collapse due to its size and accessibility perito moreno is one of the major tourist attractions in southern patagonia and the rupture of this glacier is considered one of the most impressive natural spectacles in the world the terminus of the glacier is 5 kilometers wide with an average height of 74 meters above the surface of the water of lago argentino it has a total istep of 170 meters on the next morning it was time for us to cross the border once again after a six-hour lasting bus journey we arrived in puerto natales which is the gateway to the tourist alpine national park where we plan to spend our final two weeks in patagonia the tourist alpine national park is located in southern patagonia 112 kilometers north of puerto natales and is one of the largest and most visited national parks in chile there are several ways of experiencing this impressive place for hiking lovers the w track is the most popular multi-day route as you get to see the highlights of the park within 4 or 5 days the name of the track derives from the shape of the root which pretty much looks like the letter w but if you are a true outer lover and you got more time i definitely recommend doing the full circuit track which includes the w but also the back side of the park with more glaciers lakes and incredible views [Music] hola from torres del pina we're about to do the circuit track right now we're standing into the front of the hotel astoris to do the first stretch which goes from here to set on where we will camp for the night so we start the circuit track in a chilean way by drinking pisco [Music] what are you having for lunch nuts rabbit food [Music] all right we're now almost in saron we're walking next to the rio pine and the campamento serum where we sleep tonight is in the back over there kristen why are you so wet because it was raining we arrived in camberman to siron after hiking through the rain instead of our tent and now we go for a hot shower [Music] good morning from campamento saron it was raining all night but now it's dry and we're going
