Full spectrum
The captured footage includes breathtaking compositions in colorful valleys, harsh Andean highlands and deep tropical forests. There are not many trails which can offer such a wide variety of landscapes in 50 miles.

Never-ending legacy

The area has been a crossroads for diverse cultures for more than 10.000 years, specially the mythical Quebrada de Humahuaca. Marked Inca trails are still being used today by locals.


Some communities are settled down deep in the mountain. They generally have to travel for two or three days to get to the closest road or school. Goods are scarce and often carried by mules. As challenging as it may seem, locals have gotten used to it and live autonomously, without any major shortages.
