Patagonia is one of the master pieces of nature.

[@HarmenHoek]

Oh yeah, for sure!

I remember the same journey I made some years ago and how it changed my life, feeling like I was looking God in the face. In its trees, in the wind amidst the mountains, in the rain and in the cold. Everything is perfect in the Chilean Patagonia. Thank you very much for your video.

[@claudiosoriano7548]

Not a single word. The music, the sound of elements, I truly was able to transport myself to those places and feel once again those wonderful sensations walking The Chilean Patagonia. This is a piece of art, both the video and the landscape. Just Love it.

[@boyanaskrbic]

When you hear those birds singing loudly "creek creek creek", they announce rain for the following day. In the central area of ​​Chile they are called queltehue, in the south they have another name, Treile. ☺️💖🇨🇱

[@Giedriukas3]

Wonderful, no high tech equipment, no screaming, just nature, nice views and calm music, what could be better - dream of every man :)

[@bogdanm7397]

Harmen, I seldom comment on videos but this is art in its purest form. The videography and production of every single one of your videos is so inspiring and beautiful. Thank you

[@HarmenHoek]

I appreciate getting one of those rare comment. (: Thank you for the nice words.

[@michaelwood3477]

Patagonia is by far one of the most off the charts places on this planet and your film capturing and releasing to my eyes, ears and deep sensing gave me views I had not heretofore experienced the sites. A lot of work and core love you put into your work and I’m sure brings you great joy. So many aspects of your filming I thought was just beautiful that to describe in this small note would be vain. Thank you for bringing me into another one of the spaces I too long to adventure. Peace brother.

[@HarmenHoek]

Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it! Making these films is a lot of work for sure, but I love every second of it. It's so rewarding!

I live in the Chilean Patagonia an this is one of the best videos capturing the real essence of this wonderful place in the world. Congratulations

[@jmcx1969]

I just did this trek a month ago (late November 2023). I would guess you were there a week or two before me as the conditions look very similar. I don't have the talent or ambition to make a video such as this. I'm so greatful that you did. It helps cement the memories.

[@HarmenHoek]

Very cool! Glad you liked it!

[@technos77]

Amazing Chile. 🇨🇱

[@moto.explora]

A wonderful video that portrays our beloved Chilean Patagonia in all its greatness. Thank you for sharing these spectacular images, you do an incredible job!

[@HarmenHoek]

Appreciate it, thanks!

[@CecilieMariaSchackinger]

Dear Harmen I absolutely LOVE your videos… silent hiking. Brings my mind at ease. So peaceful. What I Love the most is the slow pace in your videos. But… it seems to me that the wonderful slow pace and slow change of scenes has sadly been left behind? Please dont rush the scenes… please keep the slow pace - it it your trademark 🤗🙏🏻

[@Panjee316]

I think this is most beautiful scenery so far.

[@HarmenHoek]

Glad you think so!

[@mayankpratap24]

It is a very beautiful place, it feels like you are in heaven.

[@HarmenHoek]

Glad you think so. It's really beautiful!

[@aubreyshumpert4113]

This was hands down one of the best videos I've ever seen on KZbin, this is the kind of content the internet was made for. Thank you once again for putting God's creation on display in such a beautiful and profound way, Harmen. May God bless you and your work, brother.

[@Chilensk_Hjalte]

great magical work, welcome to Chile, feel at home , Excelente

A masterpiece, as always! You know your way with a camera, always ingenious point of views, perfect framing, immersive sound, captivating.

It's my pleasure! Thank you for the kind words. I simply love doing it, so I'm eager to put in the work.

سبحان من خلق فابدع كلما حدقت أكثر في تلك الطبيعة الساحرة أزداد اطمئنانا وسكينة وبنفس الوقت ازداد تساؤلا... أنساءل بأي آلية تدخل تلك الألوان السرور في نفوسنا ؟؟ وما هو السرور أصلا؟ تبارك الله احسن الخالقين

[@juancarlosnieto5619]

Estuve en diciembre de 2008 haciendo el circuito de las Torres del Paine solo, la visión del glaciar Gray cuando se accede desde Los Perros en el paso John Gardner es inolvidable. Este video de Harmen me ha transportado 15 años atrás. No entiendo como este canal no tiene más suscriptores. La calidad de las imágenes, el montaje de las mismas .....es absolutamente extraordinario. Gracias.

[@HarmenHoek]

Muchas gracias por los cumplidos! La vista sobre glacier Gray era mi favorito!

[@mariush7888]

I just wanted to thank you Harmen for all your effort and work. I had an accident and currently in the hospital. Your videos offer a great escape from reality. Thank you!

[@irinaportugez927]

The beauty of Patagonia is undeniable, it is a masterpiece of nature. But I admire your tenacity, as for me I would say heroism, to overcome so many difficulties, in the cold and rain, bravo and thank you so much for this amazing film.

[@HarmenHoek]

I embrace cold and rainy weather. It makes for a good film and good memories. (; Thanks for the compliments!

[@irinaportugez927]

@@HarmenHoek You are an extraordinary person and this is not a compliment, it is the truth. You see and feel nature, and this is the best thing we have. Thank you .

[@tomnovusvicus6732]

Did the "W" hiking route a decade ago. So lucky to see, after the big fire years ago, the Paine is recovering again. Love the memory to this special places provided by your film. Just let nature tell the story. And creative viewing angles. Please keep it. Best, Tom.

[@sharondavis8003]

Breathtakingly beautiful mountains 🏔️ Harmen, you really know how to show us the very best of the earth in all her splendor. So relaxing & calm. Stay safe 👍🏻🇺🇸🙋🏼‍♀️

[@OnizukaKohai]

I'm travelling to Patagonia next year and I've watched a million pieces about it. There's no doubt your eye is different, there's just some scenes no one else captures. Thank you for sharing it. Also the start of the O route kinda looks like a Patagonian Fanal!

[@HarmenHoek]

I hope you're gonna have a great time out there, it's beautiful! Thank you for the kind words. And indeed, it did! Especially the section at 5:15

[@Pabloce01]

Thank you. Chile is really beautiful.

It's a strange feeling but I feel at peace imagining myself being buried in this soil when I pass and becoming part of the trees and mountains forever.

Muchas gracias por esta obra maestra de la Patagonia Chilena, en especial el Parque Nacional Torres del Paine ❤️ ojalá ver más videos así de otras partes de Chile y su Patagonia, ya sea en la Cordillera de Darwin, Carretera austral, Campo de Hielo norte o sus fiordos, bueno hay muchisimos lugares impresionantes en Patagonia Chilena tardariamos una vida entera recorriendolos🇨🇱🏔️❤️

Se quiser ver Torres Del Paine, sob um novo ângulo, recomendo este vídeo, achei as imagens simplesmente magníficas. Trabalho feito por um jovem com muita visão e muita dedicação. Sensacional.

I thought I was getting over nostalgia since leaving but this made it come back infinitely stronger. Thank you for capturing all the magic- it was if I was transported back.

[@wrinklybird6395]

Glad you took some time lapses of the night sky, many people don't get to appreciate how crazy it is with no light pollution. Hiking under the stars in nature must be the most fulfilling thing someone could experience.

Well done sir. The longest hike I've ever completed was 22 miles. I can only hope that some day I will find my self starting and finishing something like this.

[@nickharvey7233]

Thank you. Beautiful cinematography, as always. Some superlative framing and several truly stunning images - Roger Deakins, eat your heart out. My wife and I trekked Torres nearly 22 years ago, during a trip around the world. It was our favourite trek of the year (though I remember the night before your last sunrise hike as being the coldest of my life - our kit was definitely not up to the task!).

[@MimiPet]

The most good video for the end of the year! ❤ It makes you dream, to feel and fly on! 😊 Thanks for all you are doing to us who cannot be allowed to see it! 🤗 I wish you a lot of health to be able to continue your work! ❤ Sincerely Hugs from Italy! 🤗❤🤗

Lovely to hear from you, Harmen. Yes, the family and I watched it last night (4 of us). We've seen a number of Patagonia videos of canoeing on rivers but never one like yours.

[@kathw-fg1sr]

I watched this again for the second time. I love it. I initially wondered why you hiked at night, but later realized it was because you wanted to catch the sunrise. The gorgeous view at the end was so worth it. Thank you for taking us along with you. I wish I could be there in person but I could never because I am not young and strong enough. Thank you for sharing. I love your work. The videography, the music, everything! Take care and be safe.

Glad you enjoyed it! It wasn't easy getting up at 2:30am and hiking for 2 hours in the dark in the cold. But it was so worth it when the sun came up! Take care as well, and happy holidays!

[@georgemartin1498]

Thank you Harmen! Really good, as always. Maybe even inspiring me at age approaching 74 next month to do this while I can😊😊. But much beyond that I think your videos are illustrative of the power of the unspoken. I recently watched the film “2010 The Year we Make Contact” and many critics correctly described the excellent visuals as equal to or exceeding the quality of the original “2001…”.But to me, the difference is that Kubrick understood the enormous potential of shutting the f**k up.

I have watched many of your presentations and am never not deeply moved, by the solitude, the staggering beauty that has brought tears to my eyes countless times and by the many questions I have about you, what brought you to this adventurous existence, how you do it, what you feel, and so many more questions. I don’t know if you’ve ever done a written blog or some such thing but I’m certainly not the first person to want to know more. Thank you for each glimpse into worlds most will never see/feel/hear, the wonder…..

Thank you for your kind words! I used to write itineraries on harmenhoek.com/itinerary, but no longer do that. I share some info about me on Patreon, but I tend not to share too much, especially not here. I want it to be about nature, no about me. (;

[@michaelnicola5210]

@@HarmenHoek I certainly understand, Harmen. You are nothing if not low key. Perhaps someday you will write a book about these miraculous adventures of yours. While you want it "to be about nature and not about you", I promise there are many out here who long to know more. I of course respect your feelings. Cheers and I hope you have a Happy Christmas.
