How HIGH we can get with our Land Rover Defender? La Puna, Argentina //EP.71

[@pedroestebanhvozda1428]

Es admirable el coraje y valentia que tienen de ir a estos lugares inhospitos, duros, con frios y sol extremos... Los paisajes que muestran son indescriptibles.... Dormir a 5000 metros no es facil. Cada persona tiene reacciones fisicas distintas en la altura y para algunos es insoportable... Mis felicitaciones por las aventuras vividas, por el magnifico trabajo de edicion y por las tomas realizadas.... Tienen muy buen "ojo" en la utilizacion de la camara.. Me resulto fascinante este video... Una acotacion, son muy pocos los argentinos conocen estos lugares... Un abrazo desde Buenos Aires, y que tengan buenos caminos por Argentina....!!!!

[@Thebluelandy]

Hola Pedro! La Puna es uno de los lugares más impresionantes que hemos visto. Los paisajes, junto con la altura extrema hacen de este lugar, un lugar extraordinariamente único!! Añade las condiciones climatológicas extremas y vamos,... la aventura está asegurada 😱subir a mina Julia es algo que no olvidaré nunca, 10/10. Ya nos dimos cuenta, que muchos Argentinos no conocen la zona! Gracias por tu comentario!!

[@WilfredWalker-dq6rp]

I've just watched this video again and realize I'll have to watch a lot more of them a second time. Jus too good to watch once only !

[@Thebluelandy]

It's an amazing place on this planet! One to come back to. I have also watched the video later during the trip to remember those insane landscapes 🤩

[@laurentnicolas1550]

Whaoo ! Amazing. De retour dans l'incroyable !! Bravo.

[@Thebluelandy]

Merci Laurent!! Une de ces aventures que nous aimons. Cet endroit fait partie de nos favoris !😍

[@ldosucowboy3279]

Bravo! The views, the colors and the drone shot at 13:00, just incredible. And the cone, just so hard to imagine something like that in nature.😊 Thank you lovely people.

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you so so much for the nice words! But we have to say this place is such an amazing canvas. There was not enough time in the day to capture it properly really. Every single corner at the horizon was epic, really a paradise for photography. Only problem was the wind , which makes one crazy and wanting to escape. 🙈 The drone shots were possible only when the wind gave us a break 😱

[@rolandsauter2546]

Wow. I can’t remember ever saying WOW so many times during a KZbin video, stunning. Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to the next video.

[@Thebluelandy]

We couldn't stop either during our time in the Puna region. Absolutely epic. A place a would come back everytime if I am looking for adventure and want to explore mars looking trails. It is a place to experience at least once in a lifetime , really 🙋‍♀️

[@chrisa2061]

Breathtaking. And so well done

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you so much for your feedback ❤️ really appreciate it 🤗🤗

[@outwithnature1457]

What an incredible video!!!, thank you for being brave souls and taking us along this nail bitting journey. I was concerned about the caves at the mines, how reliable were their roofs? The landscape had the hallmarks of a different planet. Keep safe.

[@Thebluelandy]

It was an epic adventure! Not sure about the stability of the walls, but we were more concerned about gases inside, that's why we didn't go in much! The landscape is really alien looking and takes your breath away everytime you stop to look. Amazing to be able to see it with a Land Rover Defender 😎

[@karinvriese7811]

o wow! Those orange curly roads look surreal! So beautiful!

[@Thebluelandy]

The path it's called Las siete curvas , the seven corners! Is the steepest part of the desert and it offers some of the most beautiful views of the red soil mountains. Thank you for watching and commenting 🤗🤗

[@badfinger61]

That was an exceptional video. Bravo! I can't believe how dry, windy, cold, and remote that area is. It really looks like another planet -- like you were on Mars, or someplace like it. All those abandoned towns and buildings were quite freaky but at the same time, fascinating and full of curiosities. That landscape looks like a perfect place to shoot a movie eg. a cowboy western, Star Wars, a Sci-Fi, or just a movie about 3 crazy travellers and a blue Landy!! 😉 You left us with a cliff hanger ending but I'm sure you managed to get Bluelandy up the rest of the hill somehow. (We hope!!) Best wishes to all 3 of you -- that's some tough travel but you've brought us viewers an amazing experience to watch!

[@Thebluelandy]

To this date, the Puna region is up in the list of favorite places of all time. It is something you are not prepared for and cannot even believe how is possible to see so much beauty for hours. This is a perfect place to shoot such movies you mention, but they need to deal with the wind. Which was crazy and maddening! For sure this was and adventure that brought us together as a team, specially at the last part of the video where we got stuck in a very dangerous place.

[@badfinger61]

[@grahames9228]

It looks like another planet, until you sit around the fireplace for dinner. Very civilised. Blue Landy is performing like a champion.

[@Thebluelandy]

It sure does! You question yourself how it is possible to reach this places with a car . It is incredibly surreal to be in such a harsh environment and then having a nice dinner around the fire, that tops the whole experience. The bluelandy is performing incredibly, but it's showing signs of age now and then. But as we say, the Defender it's always sick but it never dies. ✌️

[@Thebluelandy]

Glad you enjoyed it, any time

[@CanadianSledDog]

Why does the snow on the Puna melt into fins?? I've seen that in other videos, especially Iohan Gueorguiev's. I've never seen that phenomenon in Canada, even in our near-desert regions. That feeling that you have to consciously inhale is usually caused by anxiety, being short of breath can cause anxiety, which causes shortness of breath, it's a feedback loop in the mind. What an awesome adventure!

[@Thebluelandy]

In Spanish they are called "penitentes" they normally occur in high altitudes, so that's most probably why you haven't seen those in Canada. They were first described by Darwin! It's basically because there are parts of the snow that melt/sublime at different speed. In colder climates, especially at higher altitudes where penitentes form, the dew point can often be below freezing. This low dew point is crucial because it allows for sublimation of snow - the process where snow transitions directly into water vapor. And the wind and sun, at this altitude allows some parts to sublime and others to melt!

[@CanadianSledDog]

@@Thebluelandy awesome, thanks!

[@henrygreen19]

What an episode ! The desolation and vistas creating changing scenery just about around every corner - magic. Bluelandy, once again, delivered superbly. Enjoy !!

[@Thebluelandy]

Harsh and beautiful at the same time. Mars like up there, really, specially when walking on sulphur and getting inside the tunnels.

[@jsiedlecki5331]

Absolutely incredible video!! Thank you for sharing. What a place, like being on another planet. You are inspiring me to get back to work on my 110 to try to be on the road in the spring. Best wishes. I can't wait to see what is to come🔥😊🖐️

[@Thebluelandy]

Good luck for you and the landy, I can tell you it’s worth to go the extra mile, and really prepare the landy. It pays off in the end that’s why we didn’t really had any serious trouble

[@jsiedlecki5331]

@@Thebluelandy Thank you. Ours is an old 300tdi 110, she had been sat for several years in the elements, so lots of rubbing and painting. Then we can start to think about campering her out. It's a long road but when I see videos like yours, I can see what is possible. Keep traveling, keep exploring, one life😊🖐️

[@Thebluelandy]

Don’t loose the patients It took me also 6 years on weekends and after work to get the car into this state. And I will need to do a lot of things when we’re back one day 😅

[@cdtzabcan]

Hey guys, thanks for sharing your travels with us. Just a thought- rocks are an important part of the habitat for all kinds of small creatures, especially in sensitive desert ecosystems. That barrier wall you’re creating is potentially really disruptive. It’s also not following ‘leave no trace’ principles to leave it there when you leave camp. Perhaps you can come up with some sort of reusable barrier that you carry with you? Safe travels ✌🏽

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey and thanks for your comment. In this case I really have to disagree with you. You are right stones can or are part of the ecosystem. In this case we are in a desert that’s basically made out of stones. There is no shortage of stones to hide. And the only sign of life that we found lifting stones was toilet paper….. I think leaning the walls is not a problem if there is a good build shelter other travelers will not need to build additional wind protection and therefore not move more stones. Additional this were places that are crisscrossed by road and paths a small Wall that can even habitat for lizards has not really an impact. A reusable barrier is not really possible, there are wind gusts from over 50kp/h and the soil is so rocky that you hardly can use tent nails…

[@RogerTecumseh]

I don't agree! In many remote areas people (like nomads in the desert) have always built shelters for protection against wind/storm/sand. It is in the rules of nature that human beings have a brain to survive in rough conditions (as shown!) and this will not at all disturb the balance of nature.

[@Thebluelandy]

It was really incredible and super cozy to have a fireplace over 4000m . The dinner was delicious and with a tea and the heat from the fireplace, we were in peace and ready for a high altitude night. One of my favorites campspot of all time, and the fireplace was key to get it high in the list!

It was really brutal! One of those places that look stunningly beautiful but so dangerous at the same time. The llamas 🦙are living their best life there 😍

[@TheBTG88]

Those elevations is where it really pays off to have a turbo to feed the engine air. This trip reminds me of the trip ‘Top Gear’ took a few years ago with a vintage Range Rover, Land Cruiser and Jeep.

[@That_Guy_Outside]

I can’t wait for the next episode!!! I’ve had my Jeep JL above 4200m in Colorado but this looks spectacular!!!!

[@Thebluelandy]

And how did it perform? Our bluelandy loses power above 4000m, at 5000m it didn't feel different though. But we personally did feel the lack of oxygen for sure 😳 next episode, more adventure and also epic locations. I still need to sit down to edit, but it will take a bit as family is visiting and priorities change 🙋‍♀️

[@bertplank8011]

Ride enjoyed....the cameraman managed to capture the atmosphere tres bien.....very bleak landscape Los Pumas 🏉 are going to have to be smart to get hold of those Llamas....no cover!.....they seem to be very relaxed?!.

[@Thebluelandy]

Mars is pretty awesome to capture ✌️ landscape is out of this world really, there was not enough time to capture all what our eyes saw. Those llamas are pretty chilled in the open fields, the pumas don't have much chance there. But as we talked to the locals, pumas kill cattle when they can during the night. 🐆

[@That_Guy_Outside]

The Webasto petrol heaters stop working at 3000m, but the diesel heaters are rated up to 5700m. Glad yours is working so well! Looks cold but awesome adventure!

[@Thebluelandy]

I believe webasto sells a high altitude version. but every one that we met on the road couldn’t use their heater over 3000m. Nowadays I don’t like to promote Russian products. But I think webasto is overpriced and over engineered

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

I’ve been in a vehicle at 5000 metres, it was very slow due to the low oxygen levels, I was fine until I got out of the vehicle, felt incredibly light headed and took me a few good deep breaths before I could walk anywhere, and even then very slowly.

[@Thebluelandy]

The bluelandy starts to lose power at 4000m in altitude. From there we haven't felt it get worse(exponentially or so). It was really having no issue to start( well , we ha problems with the starter, but that's another story), cold temperatures was worse. Regarding us, we didn't have problems with altitude sickness there, we did a good acclimatization the previous days and our bodies were prepared. But this kind of altitude is no joke. And this particular day was extremely windy!

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey, good question, we average over all 10,3L/100km (this includes the use of the diesel heater). In Puna we went up to 14L due to the altitude and a lot of off-road driving. The average fuel cost is between 0,80€ and 1€ per liter at the moment.
