DVD| L'EXPÉDITION ULTIMA PATAGONIA

Once upon a time, there was a land surrounded by water. A land in the south of the world, drowned under the howling fifties. The sailors who approached it named it Madre de Dios. The rivers disappear underground, in chasms of marble, that no one has ever explored. This is exactly what we came to do: to follow the secret path of the underground waters, from the raindrop to their outlet in the sea. We discovered a preserved nature and the most beautiful limestone landscapes in the world. Thus begins the story of the Ultima Patagonia expedition, perhaps the last geographical expedition in terrae incognitae, which took place in January-February 2000, in the Chilean Patagonian archipelago...
