Chile - This episode Manuel Herrero travels to Chile. While discovering the country's sports, Manuel encounters a fantastic variety of landscapes. He goes to the far north of the country, to the Atacama desert and meets some rather unconventional kids who have chosen to come and live in this untamed, Wild West-like paradise to satisfy their passion for sand-boarding. After visiting the Mapuche, an indigenous minority that has lived autonomously for centuries, Manuel sets off for the rodeo of the Huasos in the Chilean countryside. The Huasos are the archetypal Chilean countrymen: elegant, matchless horsemen with a deep attachment to their land and their history. Manuel ends his 4,500 km voyage off the coast of Santiago on a tiny, mythical land that history finally gave to Chile: Easter Island. (From France, in French) (Documentary) (class tba)
