Cycling Patagonia - An Autumn Adventure // A Documentary
Our two month journey through Patagonia proved to be one of our greatest experiences yet, and an incredible conclusion to 11 months and 12,760 km cycling in South America.
From late-March to mid-May 2023, we rode 2,500 km through the breathtaking Patagonian wilderness, and essentially had the whole place to ourselves. For us, cycling Patagonia at the beginning of the low-season was therefore one of the best decisions we've ever made, and we were even surprised by the beauty of the spectacular autumn (fall) colors.
Join us on our adventure through Patagonia!

At the fabled ‘edge of the world’ the natural wonders of Patagonia await. This last frontier of South America slopes down from The Andes towards Antarctica.
This is a land of legendary beauty, where Mother Nature runs the show. Prepare to feel dwarfed by mighty volcanoes, towering glaciers and floating icebergs.
On the Argentinean side, a relaxing day trip takes you from sleepy San Martín de los Andes to Villa La Angostura. Simply follow the scenic Road of the 7 Lakes, taking in two national parks. This will bring you to San Carlos de Bariloche, a popular mountain resort on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi.
Take a detour along the famous Ruta 40 to the town of El Chaltén: Argentina’s trekking capital in the southern Andes. Hike to the idyllic Laguna Capri or higher lookout points to gaze up at Fitz Roy mountain. View the jagged peaks of Cerro Torre, which few dare to climb.
El Calafate is nestled on the southern shores of Lago Argentino, the gateway lake to Los Glaciares National Park. Embark on an epic journey to the world’s third-largest freshwater reserve: the Perito Moreno Glacier.
Board the 'End of the World Train’ to Tierra del Fuego National Park or join a cruise along the Beagle Channel, to experience Antarctica without actually going there.
On the Chilean side, you can find fascinating historic and cultural attractions in pretty colonial cities, such as the regional capital Punta Arenas.
On your way north, take a detour to the Milodón cave. This prehistoric shelter held the remains of a giant ground-dwelling sloth and other huge extinct species.
The dramatic national park of Torres del Paine is brimming with lakes that spill out into gorgeous waterfalls, such as Salto Grande.
Spot the spectacular outline of the Osorno Volcano, the focal point of Los Lagos, the lake region that forms the northern border of Chilean Patagonia.
This magical wilderness at the far edge of the world reminds us that we are just temporary spectators of nature’s infinite beauty.

Travel Patagonia by Drone in 4k (Best of the Patagonia Expedition)
For me Patagonia is one of the most beautiful travel destinations on earth, to showcase this I created a montage of the best drone footage from my recent trip.

Over the course of 2 months I traveled Chilean as well as Argentine Patagonia from north to south to produce a documentary series called The Patagonia Expedition together with my friend Kristin Addis. The trip started in Bariloche (Argentina) and went via the Carretera Austral (Chile) down south to El Chaltén (Argentina) and finally to Torres del Paine (Chile).
It wasn't easy to travel with all the camera gear beside the other equipment we needed, especially considering all the camping stuff (tent, sleeping bag, cooking equipment etc) but I wanted to capture the beauty of traveling through Patagonia the best way possible.
Throughout the trip we got in touch with locals, stayed longer in one spot to really get to know the place and did all kinds of tough outdoor activities. Due to my former travels I already knew most of the places, got in touch with local friends and tourism businesses to help us create these videos. Not to mention the physical preparations which enabled us do all this activities under those partially tough conditions.
We are very grateful for all those experiences, new friendships and cooperations with locals as well as park rangers!
DRONE LAWS IN PATAGONIA
Please consider that all shots were filmed considering the drone laws in Argentina and Chile at the time we filmed there. Moreover we got special permissions by park rangers in some of the locations such as National Parks or filmed on private property with the permission of the owner (e.g. Torres del Paine).
Furthermore I'd like to point out that I took several weeks of practice in training spaces in Europe to ensure safe flights in Patagonia with my drone, especially due to the harsh weather and wind conditions.
In order to protect nature and wildlife in this sensitive part of the world I highly recommend to follow these rules as well if you plan to do something similar. Please check with the local laws before you fly, don't fly in National Parks without special permission, please check the weather conditions before you fly and take your time to calibrate your drone before each flight.
DRONE & PATAGONIAN WEATHER
Consider the extreme weather conditions and come prepared with special equipment as listed above such as a good drone backpack, special propellers, waterproof housing for sd cards and a durable HDD.

HIKING THE O TREK IN PATAGONIA (UNGUIDED) // CHILE TRAVEL VLOG
What is the O Circuit, or the O Trek? Well, it's a 120(ish) kilometer trek through what is arguably the most beautiful part of Patagonia, Torres del Paine National Park. The O Trek got its name for the shape of the route which includes the commonly-known W-trek (we explain it better in the video). Over 10 days we hiked the O Trek while carrying all of our own gear and food, and this video tells the story of what that was like. It includes epic views, lots of blisters, new friends, many mice encounters, warm food on cold days, a lot of pain, a lot of joy, and some serious determination.
Whether you have stumbled upon this video because you are looking into hiking the o trek or w trek, or you simply want to see what it takes to trek for 10 days in Patagonia, we are glad to have you! We had an incredible time braving the 100km winds to see grey glacier and pushing ourselves to our limits to make it to Los Torres before the rain came. We had so many highs and lows during this trip and hope you enjoy watching!

Are you looking for an adventure in one of the most beautiful regions of Argentina? Look no further than Patagonia! In this video, we take you on a journey through some of the top things to do in Patagonia, from hiking to horseback riding to kayaking and more.
Patagonia is a region that covers the southern end of both Argentina and Chile, and it is famous for its rugged mountains, icy glaciers, and stunningly beautiful landscapes. One of the most iconic attractions in Patagonia is the Perito Moreno Glacier, located near El Calafate, which is one of the largest glaciers in the world. Visitors can hike on the glacier or take a boat tour to see it up close.
Another must-see attraction in Patagonia is the Torres del Paine National Park, located in Chile. This park is home to some of the most spectacular hiking trails in the world, with stunning views of glaciers, mountains, and lakes. You can take a guided hike or explore on your own.
For those who prefer to stay on the water, Patagonia offers some incredible kayaking experiences. The Nahuel Huapi Lake in Bariloche is a popular spot for kayaking and canoeing, where you can paddle through clear waters surrounded by snow-capped mountains and lush forests.
Horseback riding is also a popular activity in Patagonia, where you can explore the vast open landscapes and rugged terrain. There are many local ranches that offer guided horseback rides, including the Estancia Cristina in El Calafate.
And if you're looking for a unique way to experience the Patagonian landscape, why not try dog sledding? This activity is available in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, where you can ride through snowy forests and across frozen lakes with a team of friendly huskies.
So if you're ready for an adventure in one of the most stunning regions of Argentina, be sure to watch our video and start planning your trip to Patagonia today. With so many amazing things to do and see, you won't be disappointed!

INCREDIBLE COLLAPSE TRIGGERED BY GLACIER CALVING | South America, Chile
An incredibly large chunk of the Grey Glacier's ice-sheet breaks off and flips over in a spectacular way in Southern Patagonia, Chile. The ice-sheet of the Grey Glacier is currently declining due to increasing temperatures and changes in rainfall. It is part of the 'Southern Patagonian Ice Field', the world's 2nd largest contiguous extrapolar ice field and the largest freshwater reservoir in South America.
The Grey Glacier is famous for insane glacier wall collapses during the summer when large icebergs – often up to 100 feet in height – are breaking off the glacier and collapsing into the water of the 'Lago Grey'. In the right time of the year big blocks of ice break off the glacier and drop into the water. The waves created by such glacier calving events often splash dozens of meters through the air. The glacier itself is about 6 km (3.7 mi) wide and has an average height of over 30 m (100 ft) above the surface of the water.
Thankfully, no-one was injured as boats stay at a safe distance from the glacier (for a good reason).
Glacier calving, also known as ice calving, or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. The sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier or iceberg often causes large waves around the area and can result in a shooter which is a large chunk of the submerged portion of the iceberg surfacing above the water. The ice that breaks away can be classified as an iceberg, but may also be a growler, bergy bit, or a crevasse wall breakaway. The entry of the ice into the water causes large, and often hazardous waves. (Find out more here:

Hello and greetings from Chile! In today’s video, we’re going to be taking you on a day trip to Torres del Paine National Park. This is a major trekking destination in Chile and one could easily spend a few weeks on the trails, but since we were a bit short on time, today we’re going to be showing you some of the highlights you can experience on a day trip. During our tour, we saw all sorts of wildlife, visited the cave of a prehistoric animal, and even came face to face with icebergs, so all in all, a very good day and a great option for anyone wanting to day trip from Puerto Natales.
Our first stop of the day was the Mylodon’s Cave, which is a natural monument located about 30 minutes northwest of Puerto Natales. This site is comprised of several caves, the largest of which is 30 meters high and 200 metres deep. This is where the prehistoric mylodon's remains were found.
A bit of trivia: apparently, the mylodon’s state of conservation was so good that at first the remains were believed to be that of a living species. This launched a small wave of early 20th century expeditions in search of a living, breathing mylodon. Well, that search didn’t yield much. The samples were eventually dated back about 10,000 years...they were just in great condition because of the extreme cold and stable conditions the cave had to offer.
From there, we continued on our tour to Torres del Paine National Park, which is located 60 kilometres north of Puerto Natales. As you can imagine, it was a pretty scenic drive; the best surprise was spotting a group of condors circling just above us. This is the largest bird of prey in the world, so we were pretty excited to see several of them so close by!
Once we arrived in Torres del Paine National Park, we visited numerous attractions like the Paine River Waterfall, Laguna Amarga, Lago Nordenskjöld and Lago Pehoé. We also drove past estancias, experienced winds that nearly blew us over, and of course, we were greeted with incredible landscapes at every turn. Just driving through the park’s dirt roads was an adventure in and of itself!
In the afternoon we had lunch at the Río Pingo restaurant which is located inside the national park on the southern tip of Lago Gray. Then, we enjoyed a beautiful walk on the Gray Trail that goes down to a beach where you can see icebergs up close. It was an incredible experience!
We really enjoyed this 1-day excursion to Torres del Paine. If you are in Puerto Natales but are short on time and can't spend a week trekking in the park, this is a great option that allows you to enjoy a few of the highlights!

Patagonia | Chile and Argentina | Motoring Expedition | 4x4 | Overland Safari | Nomadic Road
Sometimes it’s good to feel a little lost. Not that it’s easy to go astray road tripping through the most far-flung stretches of Patagonia; but here with nothing more than our own Jeep Wranglers and the colossal landscape, we got lost in the moment. Here are the best experiences from our epic motoring expedition across Patagonia.

Patagonia is a place like no others in the World. Mother Nature runs the show and amazes you everywhere you go.

Patagonia (Argentina and Chile) by Joel Santos
Compilation of photos and video footage from my photographic expedition to Patagonia (Argentina and Chile), where I've camped and trekked for more than 150 km to capture some iconic places like Torres de Paine, Cuernos del Paine, Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre, Perito Moreno, among others. I had 20 kg of equipment load, autonomy in food, and drank water directly from glacier rivers, having no contact with the outside world for 12 days.
Photos and video footage: Joel Santos,
Special thanks: Carlos Mendes, friend and great travel companion, without whom this expedition wouldn't be possible and fun like it was.
Soundtrack: Sunshine - Adagio In D Minor, The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra & James Fitzpatrick
