The Patagonian Expedition is a 95% self funded video documentary project following my trip in 2012/2013. Our aim is to show you the beauty of the rather unknown parts in Patagonia alongside with the famous spots.
Beside beautiful landscape you can expect loads of information and our personal experiences and struggles along the way.
The whole trip was executed over the course of 2 months using mostly local transport such as busses, cars and trucks. A big thank you goes to Lufthansa for providing the flights into and out of South America in their new Premium Economy Class!

@@robertalmar6576 El lado argentino es ciertamente más extenso en términos geográficos, pero lo verdaderamente destacable, en líneas generales, es lo que se asemeja más a Chile o se encuentra en proximidad a este. Desde una perspectiva natural, la región del lado del Pacífico es notablemente exuberante y su belleza es incomparable; casi parece una selva similar a lugares como Pumalín, Cochamó o las cercanías de Puerto Varas. Quiero transmitirte que en el lado argentino, por contraste, la aridez predomina y en ocasiones se torna completamente desértico, aunque nadie visite el desierto patagonico....

I feel so lucky to have had a holiday in Patagonia, in both Argentina and Chile in 2015 and I can thoroughly recommend going there. The hiking in El Chalten and Torres Del Paine is stunning. I didn’t manage to go to Bariloche, so I’d better start saving my money again and make it happen.

[@Edgar2023ES]

Unfortunately, I have visited just Torres del Paine. I'm from Brazil and I know what's the natural beauty. I have visited seven states in Brazil (northeast and southeast). I also have visited Spain. I think Torres del Paine is the most beautiful place than I have visited!

[@johncillis3431]

I have always wanted to learn about this region of the world ever since seeing "The Argentinian Gauchos" perform in Reno, NV. I met my wife in Latin America, and my Italian roots go back to Argentina, where my family once lived before moving to Italy some time in the 18th century then to the US in the 20th century. It took me a few years to find a video like yours, it was recommended by KZbin because of my interest in hiking. My toughest hike was from a ten thousand foot summit in Jackson Hole down to Jackson Village, about an eight mile hike. The trail was good, but steep at the beginning, and part of it, blocked by a landslide, I had to climb up on my hands and knees for a distance of about 50 feet and footing was tough, though it was not dangerous. Hiking from above the treeline to below the treeline was a fun experience, and your hiking together reminded me of that. I have never hitchhiked in the US, but I did pick up two hitchhikers and also helped fix someone's flat tire on the Interstates. I picked up a musician on I5 in Oregon and took him all the way to his destination in California--he kept me awake on the drive and reminded me of my older brother (RIP) who played a guitar that looked like the musician's in our high school days in the 70's. I also picked up a Navajo chief and guide on I-40 in Arizona and took him to his destination in New Mexico, and finally fixed someone's flat tire just off of I-17--he had the spare tire, I had the jack. Travelers have similarly helped me--I remember in Holland as I was traveling to Utrecht on a standing room only train, I felt faint and fell to the floor. The Dutch people on the train came to aid me immediately, with water, some young woman about my age then holding my hand, then they helped me leave the train and kept an eye on me until they knew I was OK to make it to my hotel. So remembering that, years later I could only return the favor knowing the people I helped were truly in need and were no threat to me or anyone else. America is not as dangerous as some make it seem, it just being such a big country has more dangerous places to avoid which we are taught growing up, as anyone interested in travel and chilling with other travelers would be.
