Patagonia Without Dams

Here are some of the best pictures from my trip and also a movie I made.

I´ll keep kayaking, going more to south of Chile, crossing by Argentina.

Almost all the rivers I paddle are in dam projects, so this is the reason for the name of my movie.

In Pucon the flow of the rivers are going down, so I´m now on my way to Futaleufu and Baker.

That means more to the south in Patagonia, with the great car of Jean, Netta, some chiliens and some Germans.

Enjoy the movie and the pictures. More is coming soon.

Chile a dream coming true

2 monts in Chile now and I still see amazing places.
Some places look like it´s made by a kayaker.
More and more people is coming to paddle now.
Slovenian ,French, Italian, Peruvian, Quebec and Germans.
That is the international team we make for paddling and "asados", barbecue.
We been a little in the north of Pucon, for the Ñuble Fest.
A festival against the dam project in this place.
In this area is the famous rio Claro. The more impressive place I´ve been paddling.
The pictures speak by them selfs.

First "boof" of François  Hemidy in 22 Tacas.

Our friend Julio from Peru broke is paddle in this drop.

François borrowed him his paddle and continued all the section with a broken paddle.

Better than one breakdown is to have François in the your team.

Nice style of Jean Le Tulzo

Nevado

Demshitz fall. Not easy to be in the good line and

so easy to hurt your self. I dont know how many meters but high enough to have a drink

to celebrate after running the fall.
