Chile, Patagonia, Austral Highway, Tierra del Fuego. On the road with Volker Langbehn.
Chile is a land of enormous diversity: deserts, lakes, ice fields, glaciers, volcanoes, fjords and Tierra del Fuego. With a population of 20 million, it is a democracy and the most affluent and stable country in South America. Volker shares his impressions of this beautiful, complex nation on the second leg of his journey.
In early January, Volker left on a six month road trip through South America. In March we recorded our first podcast as he wound up a two month visit to Peru. In today's episode, he recounts his travels through Chile from the Atacama Desert in the North to Tierra del Fuego in the South. Deserts, Lakes, Ice fields, Fjords and Tierra del Fuego: a country of dramatically diverse climates and landscapes.
