Chile Travel Documentary Questions

This emergency Spanish sub plan will not only save the day because it is print-and-go, but it will also probably make everyone want to travel to Chile! The 25 questions go along with the free travel documentary on YouTube called Amazing Quest: Stories from Chile. If you haven’t seen it, it was made by the same people who did the Most Dangerous Ways to School documentaries and is absolutely fantastic. Your students will love learning about Chile with this beautiful video!

The creators have this to say about the free 52m video on YouTube: “We’re in Chile – Somewhere on Earth is off to visit the faraway land of Patagonia, one of the most sparsely populated regions on earth. At the extreme tip of South America, Southern Chile lifts the veil on its fragile beauty.

Carlos, the southernmost man on Earth: First we meet Carlos Barria. He is one of the southernmost men on Earth. Carlos is a seaman but also a cattleman. His ranch is very close to the mythical Cape Horn.

Living at the foot of the Andes’ immense glaciers: We meet Philippe Reuter. This enthusiastic mountaineer lives at the foot of the Andes’ immense glaciers.

The raftsmen of Patagonia: Finally we meet Jorge Arratia. He knows all the secrets of the balseros, the raftsmen of Patagonia. In a remote valley, the lumberjacks harvest cypress wood and transport it down the Rio Baker.”
