Taking part in this expedition was an amazing opportunity to know, enjoy, get closer and learn heaps about the Pewenche communities and their territories.

It was a huge experience, impossible to measure and hard to explain without being short of words. A trip full of colours, smells, conversations, encounters, flavours, surprises, laughs, and emotions. It was a real life experience of travelling through a particular place, a culture, a worldview and a particular way of life.

I also enjoyed the natural and informal way in which the communities presented themselves, how they taught us, told us about their lives, their culture, their everyday activities and their dreams. It was so simple and natural that allowed for spontaneity and empathy, the kind of communication that doesn’t require any other technology but to be able to look in the eye and talk under a free sky.

The landscapes, all I learnt and even the more pedestrian pains and aches, all had an special flavour, the flavour of living something of a privilege, full of wealth and simplicity, something that is the result of hundreds of years living, dwelling, thinking and creating the places that welcomed us. To see this place so full of life and strength, a landscape that is not pristine but rather a place full of stories and meanings, beautiful and impressive, that remind us that were are just one more of all the beings that have someday been around here.
