I Hiked Alone to the End of the World — Patagonia's Southernmost Trek (Documentary)

In this Patagonia Documentary I travel to Tierra del Fuego & Isla Navarino to tackle the most challenging multi-day hike in Patagonia ➸ My Patagonia Guide: https://www.back-packer.org/PatagoniaGuideQR 📍 Route: Dientes de Navarino Circuit · Isla Navarino · Puerto Williams · Chile In this first episode, I'll delve into Tierra del Fuego - the land of Fire and Isla Navarino. Four days completely alone with a tent, fighting the relentless Patagonian wind, navigating an unmarked trail by GPS through snow, mud and forest, up passes with views all the way to Cape Horn. But this is more than a hike — it's a journey into the history of the southernmost place on Earth: the Yagan people, who lived here for over 12,000 years as the planet's southernmost population; Ferdinand Magellan, who named Tierra del Fuego; Darwin and the voyage of the Beagle; the treacherous Drake Passage; and Clem Lindenmayer, the explorer who first mapped this trail in the 1990s.
