FILM
[S2 – Eps. 31] This is 9,000 years old hidden art in Argentina!
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
An episode of the Patagonia to Alaska Expedition, this film takes a motorcycle journey through a canyon in Argentina. Its focus is a remarkable combination of high cliffs, a green valley and ancient paintings associated with Patagonia’s first people.
About this film
Riding solo on a Royal Enfield Himalayan, Itchy Boots visits the canyon to see paintings described as the oldest found depictions of people in Patagonia, dating back 9,000 years. The visit brings together motorcycle travel and a close look at the region’s human history. The paintings are the reason for the stop, while the surrounding landscape adds a striking setting to the exploration. The episode is part of the creator’s ongoing motorcycle journey and runs for 17 minutes.
The journey
The ride leads to the edge of the canyon’s cliffs, which rise 250 metres above a lush, green valley. From there, the film turns to the ancient paintings and the landscape around them. The route described is centred on reaching this site in Argentina; the motorcycle’s access to the cliff edge is part of what makes the visit distinctive. The journey’s appeal lies in moving from the open road to a place where natural scale and traces of early human life meet.
