Overview
Ulisse will discover one of the most spectacular and grandiose scenarios on our planet: the Andes mountain range. This imposing mountain system winds along the entire west coast of South America, from the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela and Colombia, to the ice of Tierra del Fuego, at the extreme southern tip of Chile. We will explore this outsized landscape to discover what hides. It will be a journey between glaciers, naturalistic paradises, deserts, volcanoes, buried deposits and even lost civilizations, which have left us ghost cities, mummies and extraordinary treasures. Together with Alberto Angela we will visit the Quelat National Park, a true naturalistic oasis, with forests, lakes and waterfalls and the Atacama Salar, one of the driest and most arid places on the planet which contains many types of salts and minerals. We will again see the Chuquicamata copper mine in Chile, which is extremely important from an economic point of view.
