Andes Survivors Expedition

On October 13, 1972, a plane on its way from Uruguay to Chile crashed in a mountain range in the Andes.

On board was a rugby team and some of their relatives, a group of young, fun-loving people....

Thus began the incredible story of a 72-day struggle for survival.

Filmed in various documentaries and dramatic feature films, the story went around the world, also known here as "The Miracle of the Andes". The Netflix adaptation by J.A. Bayona has been online since January 2024. Under the title "The Snow Society" - spanish original "La Sociedad de la nieve".

29 people lost their lives, 16 survived.

Nowadays it is possible to do a trip to the crash site. I am doing this trip on horseback regularly during the summer months in South America.

Join me on one of my trips! The history of the Suvivors remains on of the most extraordinary survival story in modern history. The place is still remote and unique. The landscapes are breathtaking and wild. We setup our camps to be comfortable, but you can still experience the rough wilderness and get an idea what humans beings can be capable of in these extreme conditions.
