We found the big 4 of the Altiplano, the perfect hot spring camp, an electric car travelling pole to pole, 4 friends really adventurous, a barbecue in the devil’s desert, and a perfect cone, all of it during our last drive on the Puna plateau in Argentina.
The puna plateau is a continuation of the Altiplano the biggest second high plateau in the world after Tibet! We hesitated a lot to go back for a long expedition drive in those inhospitable lands but the thought that it would be our last chance to see these landscapes was a good enough motivation.
We elected this journey the most beautiful drive of our world tour journey so far! We are not joking it was exceptional.
An immense thank you to our travel friends, Jon and Nadine (on instagram couch_potatoes) and Vanessa and Dario (on instagram pathsofrosie) for such a beautiful ride!
Until next week, take care!
Nick & Mathilde

Good morning, Mathilde and Nick. Yet another spectacular episode! Thank you for the adventure. I didn’t realize South America was so varied and amazing. You’ve taken us viewers to places we could never go. The narration/music is so creative and picturesque-brings it all to life. All the best!
Our pleasure! Thank you for being with us on this journey! Yes South America is really exceptional
Amazing to see such wild totally uninhabited places. The world seems larger after having watched your video and seen such unexpected terrain in Argentina. Thank you Mathilda and Nick for sharing this with us. It is almost an honour for you to be able see such unusual places, where so few have ever been.
this part of Argentina is by far one of our favourite on this trip we absolutely loved it !
Just an amazing part of the world.
The terrain, the mountains, the wildlife - wow!
Possibly the dustiest part of all of South America, though. And the coldest at night!
Glad you guys went through all that and made it to a petrol station - holy smokes, that was close!!
Great episode, guys!
P.S. Go Black Mamba Go!!!
Yes probably! This is so much beauties up there we loved it
Guys the topography is amazing and Nick your driving skills is incredible and Mathilde the music is really making me want to dance😂
Whooohooo that s the goal!!!
whoa! You made it!!! Love the hot pool in the middle of no where! Thank you so much Mathilde and Nick!!!❤❤❤
Our pleasure! We loved it too!!
That was fantastic. I never knew Argentina had that kind of terrain.
Thanks guys.
It was really the best no kidding
David como te imaginabas a la Argentina?.
Ah, my Saturday Morning travelers. You are a part of my life each week and you never fail to disappoint. This one was especially interesting, revealatory, and amazing. I never would have guessed that Argintina has so much uninhabited desert that looks like a collection of landscapes from other worlds. Your musical choices were also so fitting. I really enjoy the drone shots and the Spanish flavor they provide. But, I must say, you guys are very intrepid. To go where you did, alone, is tempting fate. All you would need is a mechanical breakdown, or to somehow get stuck. You would be screwed and dependent on every drop of water until you were rescued. I hope you have a satellite phone! Albo seems to be in great shape mechanically. I'm sure you trust her implicitly. People who attempt that with a vehicle that is less than 100% should have their heads examined. Lastly, about that hot spring. My guess it was built by the military 100 or more years ago and it was once a place they came to rest before continuing on. Who knows, there could be other such places on the Alto Plano. I do not think it was an individual farmer. Too much time, effort, and cutting and moving stones would have been next to impossible. It had to be the military. I'm sure the government has a history site that would tell you. In any case, until next Saturday, adios amigos!
Thank you so much for cheering us every week it motivates us a lot. Yes we have a satellite phone ! We would be too scared going without. And a lot of water too.
See you next week!
Coooool train!!! 🚂🚐🚙🚙
What an aaaaamazing video guys, we loved it! 😍
Great!!!!! Makes us super happy
Wow! Welcome to coraza Argentina! What an adventure…. We pray you have a safe and wonderful experience. Enjoy all Meridians fron 25º to 74º 💖💖
Thank you! Will do!
Wow! Welcome to coraza Argentina! What an adventure…. We pray you have a safe and wonderful experience. 💖💖
Thank you! 😃
@@NextMeridianExpedition 🤗😁
Another excellent video! LOTS of “whoa’s!” and “wow’s!”
Like the flamingos, it’s so surprising that there are ostriches there.
How fortunate that you are able to see all these wonders. And share them with us too!
Thank you for being here to watch and accompany us on the journey. Yes those birds the nandu where so cute
The landscapes are exceptional, like your adventure and the people you meet. you have this capacity to awaken and you transmit it well through your videos. You are the young people we dream of meeting one evening on the side of a path. Have a nice and safe trip ! see you next week!
Wow, thank you! 😍🫶
Wonderful. The wind accommodated your dip in the hot springs. Excellent!
Totally! Wind picked up just the next day but we got a full afternoon evening with nothing which was a treat after a long week
New movie new surprises beautiful and amazing places and Albo going strong congratulations for all the work with the best movies 👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you very much!
That landscape is amazing and so varied. It seems very remote, desolate and untouched. I loved the drone shots. The guitar music during the water crossings was so fun! Oh my gosh so close on the fuel! Glad you have the reserve cans. Can't wait to see a different part of Argentina!
We think it was some of the most isolated land we ve seen. Absolutely fabulous !!! Thanks you Kristen for travelling with us
I’ve followed since the beginning, but having been away I’m playing catch up. This has to be one of the most spectacular videos of amazing places. Keep up the great ‘work’ 😀
Thank you Richard! That s cool you catch up! We hope you enjoy :) and merry Christmas
@@NextMeridianExpedition thanks - hope you have a great time in Patagonia with your families, it looks amazing. joyeux Noel!
Been using your sponsor for a couple of years..Works great. Once again you nailed your trip, Safe travels
Awesome! We like it too! Happy to read you find it works well
The best trip covers several countries and with many details. I loved the understanding between you, the length of your journey, and the continuation of your journey for the longest time. Greetings and peace to you both.
Thank you so much! 😍
Awesome video as always Nick and Matilda. This was a awesome and epic adventure the changing of the terrain made the views that more spectacular.
Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely the pace at which landscapes were changing was insane
It is really a pleasure for me to look at your video every week. You do an amazing work to give the best of what you live: landscapes, friends, events... Congratulations. Please continue.
Thank you Didier! Happy you enjoy the journey
I ❤the off road scenery. The convoy is so cool but I'm like y'all. Nice to have friends but really lovely to see them go.😊 The black mamba is so entertaining. Going backwards thru inclines. How cute is that.😅 So glad ur angels r keeping y'all safe.
😇😇😇
Hahahaa yes Ducato is incredible!
Thanks a lot for being with us on this journey
You guys have made top of priority for every episode over Netflix, TV+, Prime or anything else. Your episodes are all fantastic, keep it up! Toujours un coté pratique aussi :)
Wow, thank you! that is the best kind of message Bastien! ok le cote pratique d'interesse plus? on a l'impression de plus trop en parler
Juste assez 😁
Awsome country Nick and Mathilde, these deserts seemed almost more barren than here in Northamerica but there must be some vegetation if the llamas, guanacos, Alpacas, and those giant birds, missed their name, can live there.
yes it is fascinating. maybe it is due to the extreme elevation. the average elevation is above 4000 meters, only tibet plateau is slightly higher and bigger if we understood well. that is certainly a factor. but it is fascinating how the slightest water presence or decrease in elevation gives opportunity for wildlife
Wow, that was very sandy Glad Albo made it. What a nice fun stop at the hot spring. Its just graet to see your smiles as you discover new vistas and terrain. Cheers! First day skiing tomorrow for me.
cheers! oooh lucky with the skiing we miss it!
Some of the little yellow grass tuffs looked like tribbles of Star Trek. 14mpg makes for a thirsty trip.
Great video! The drone footage really gave a great view of that diverse landscape. Big smiles for Nick and the water crossings.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Salut Nick et Mathilde, Nous venons de vous découvrir. Superbe video et très belles images. Merci pour le partage de vos aventures. Bonne continuation. Amitiés de Corse 🥰
Merci! Bienvenus sur la chaine et merci pour ce gentil commentaire
I agree with Nick, that would be a blast to drive like through all that water. What an odd place to see such a hot springs. Kudos to your adventuresome spirit.
Thank you!!! Yes those rivers were amazing
How could you not like those water crossings after all that dust! I agree with the different planets thought. I’ve never would’ve believed there was that many change’s in Terran in that short of a distance. Ya less than a half liter of fuel left is kinda close. Awesome!
The rivers were really amazing !!! A whole valley like that. We had to cut plenty out of the editing cause it got to long hahahaha we never edit out a river crossing normally
So cool - our Queen Maxima is from Argentina. Love seeing her home country. And the natural hot springs was awesome.
true!!! we had forgotten about this. do you know from which region she is?
Buenos Aires
great trip for the 2 of you, looking forward in the sites in Argentina
Very soon!
@@NextMeridianExpedition I did want to tell you a trick in keeping the air filter clean , pantyhose over the air filter. It keeps the fine dust from interning the engine intake. Don't laugh old trick used in the military for tanks and other trucks. .it will save your engine.
Fantastic. I’ve only experienced the altiplano in Chile, so interesting to see other areas! Nice
Glad you enjoyed it! Must be pretty similar to what you saw I imagine
Super Cool!!! I thoroughly enjoyed your adventure!! 🌞🦅🦙🦩🪶🌾🌎
Glad you enjoyed it! Motivates us to do more !
Hola chicos. Soy maxi de rosario nuevamente. Es una de mis rutas preferidas de Argentina y me alegra tanto que la hayan hecho! Y que la compartan con el mundo!. Gracias por eso.....
Le mando un fuerte abrazo y siempre disponible para dar mi apoyo en Argentina. A seguir disfrutando.
P.d. hay otro Hot spring privado y abandonado en Mendoza. Se llama terma el azufre! Saludos
Hola maxi!!! Entonces era el drive tu diciste con WhatsApp? Super ! Era la cosa la mas hermosa del viaje
Hola Maxi, vos sabrás decirme cual es el circuito que recorrieron? gracias
Love this world tour❤
Thank you Lucille!
So many wows! Just mind blowingly beautiful!
Thanks so much 😊
Lugar espetacular e ainda com ótimas companias! Se ainda estiverem com Jhon e Nadine, diga que os brasileiros Vinicius e Mariana mandaram um grande abraço!
Oooh amazing I will tell them! Thanks a lot
Wonderful landscapes! In case you are planning to go down the Carretera Austral later on and crossing over to Argentina, I can highly recommend you to take Paso Rodolfo Roballos near Cochrane and go on to explore the Argentinian side afterwards. It is also very remote and the landscape reaches from Patagonian wilderness to desert like landscapes and lagunes. I really want to go to the area you have visited as well, Cono de Arita and and this whole area. Thanks for sharing your experiences and have a great trip!
Thanks for the recommendation! I added it to the map let s see if we end up passing there but it looks gorgeous !
Wow Argentina Sure has been awesome and still has much more to go . You will love it very much I know we have always enjoyed are times there . And seeing it again threw your eyes and videos has brought back many enjoyable memories of are times in Argentina and Chile. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful journey and memories of traveling the world with us all along for the ride . Cheers from your over landing friend Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🌎🍻👍🏼😁. P.S LOVED THE OVER LANDING TRAIN PHOTO
Hahahaha happy you enjoyed the train!!! Yes amazing countries really!
@@NextMeridianExpedition …🍻😁
Wow Guys,💑 cool video of driving the Altiplano! What amazing desert driving. Love the drone shots. Glad you had just the right amount of Diesel! Good job driving. 👍Don't know about "Pole to Pole" finding charging points in the desert? Love the channel!💓 Love your Land Rover Defender 110 !🚙 Stay safe and have fun exploring Argentina! 🏜Cheers 🍺🍺😎
Hello!!!! So in reality they never go far from main roads except at the poles location and that day they were with a filming crew and we found them not too far from the city of San Pedro de atacama
Amazing video - such wonderous landscapes! Happy travels in Argentina!
Many thanks Catherine !
Tellement belles ces vues ❤
Oui les plus belles du voyage
On the way from Biel/Bienne to Geneva and the video ended now in Morges. It was so so interesting and you guys are so brave! Kudos to 3 of you ❤️ wow amazing! Enjoyed it throughly. I like how Mathilde is so relaxed, I was stressing my husband during our one year trip in Americas when our diesel was going low…AND we had to wait for a week in Baha, it was always Manana 🤓😎 much love ❤️
Oooh lots of memories thinking about this train journey you were doing! Thanks for mentioning it ! Well we both get stressed I think but the philosophy is to try to keep calm as long as possible if there s nothing we can do about it
Surprenant cette partie de l’Argentine, et encore une fois magnifique. J’aime bien le commentaire de russmartin qui dit que vous faites partie de sa vie chaque semaine. C’est pareil pour moi. J’avais un peu de retard ces dernières semaines mais voila c’est rattrapé.
Merci Eric !!! Les commentaires aussi font partis de notre semaine. On les attend et on reçoit un peu des nouvelles au passage c est chouette
The landscapes are unreal - and very beautiful. I’ve been to Argentina and I recognised *nothing*. I wondered if you had crossed the border into Narnia, but if so the roads would have been smoother and not so dusty. I hope you will stop now for long enough to tighten every one of Albo’s bolts.
Hahahaha that s the plan indeed. Next week is much more relaxed
Vous êtes incroyables! Des véritables explorateurs. Vos images sont superbes. Bonne continuité. Salutations
Merci beaucoup Josée ca nous fait tres plaisir de te lore
I’m so glad you crossed paths with Julie and Chris! Their Pole to Pole expedition in their EV is awesome.
Yes it is fascinating. We hoped to have more time but they were on a shooting day with a whole crew!
Okay guys...what's happening? Your videos are just getting better and better and this one is epic and for the record books. Everything about it...adventure, stunning scenery, wildlife, skies, people, and even the music. It was all beautiful. We watch about 8 different TH-camrs regularly (some of them pretty "popular") and you two have become our favorite. We still like the others but we especially enjoy following you both on your adventures.
That is super nice of you! But honestly we have been spoiled by the landscapes and places hahahaha please cope with us if it is not as impressive all the time hahahaha
Wow, so magical to find that hot springs pool - in the middle of no-where. This has been an especially beautiful journey that you have shown us. I am truly in a vicariously state of heaven. The music accompaniment to Nick's Best Life was so spot on!
Close call, as they say, with the fuel. I've run out of fuel before - no fun. Thanks for the last photo of the fill-up. By far my favorite travel channel!
Thank you very much for those kind words. It means a lot you enjoy travelling with us. There is a long way to go still so … let s go!
Hi guys, incredible sights and journey from you as usual. Very interesting to watch vanlife (I have a van 😊) vs. Overlander life in that terrain. Keep on trekking 👍💕😘
Vans would be so much more comfortable especially for the wind and cold. But on this specific track for instance it s the first time the Ducato could not go through, they tried a few days after us and had to reverse. But it is the only time !
@@NextMeridianExpedition yes for sure! I give you a lot of credit for sacrificing some of those comforts, but you can go so many various places! Go Black Mamba! The Ducato is front wheel drive I believe? Like the Promaster in the US. In which case his secret maneuver makes sense. We have a smaller AWD Ford transit with some KO2s which hopefully would help 😊
Hello, the name of the bird in Spanish is “Ñandú”. By the way fantastic footage of Argentinian altiplano. Thanks
Thanks for the info!
Once again, your videos are amazing. Thank you for sharing! I continue to learn so much through your eyes! Safe travels to you both!!!
Thank you for watching ! Your message means a lot ! That was an exceptional place
Based upon your travels, I had no idea that Western South America was so treeless and mostly desert. Great video by you two, as always.
Yes especially those high elevations and some zones very desertic interesting indeed
Morning all from Australia
Morning Australia !
Omg what an adventure.
Happy you enjoyed it
Quelle superbe étape ! 😍💖💖
Oui vraiment incroyable
Awesome video, in some places it seemed as if you were on the moon. ❤😎
Yes it was it was so out of this world
Howdy Albies! Hot springs and cold beer! Yahoo! Wonderful trip again! How do you pick which ride is the best when all your trips are epic! Thanks again! Saddle up!
Good question! Hahahaha probably impossible
Merci pour vos vidéos que l’on regarde avec plaisir depuis le début.
On a adoré votre dernière route, les paysages et le bivouac prêt de la source chaude 😍. Pouvez-vous nous donner des indications pour l’ajouter à notre to visit list ?
Bonjour Alain! Merci beaucoup. Alors je ne l ai plus sous la main Mai’s tu peux regarder sur IOverlander c est dans les vallees au Nord de fiambala !
Loved it!❤❤ amazing adventures
Thank you Richard :)
Amazing landscape
🫶🫶🫶
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for showing us the very unusual and unique landscapes. Being near the bottom of the Earth seems strange. Do you feel like you're upside down? 🤔😂😂🙏🏻
Getting there hahahahah
Very good and exciting i congratulate you
Thank you Ronnie !
Amazing
Thank your Gary!!!
Magnifico!
Thank you!
So beautiful. So very beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Toward the end I finally see some palm trees. You went from cold desert to warm Tropics pretty fast. How did that happen?
It s just a few hours drive away from the altiplano when you go down in elevation. It is not humid but palm trees seem to grow.
AAA-- Alez awesome Albo.😊
Hahahaha
Hi guys, the Black Mamba is 4×4? Thanks, and have a nice trip!!!
No it s not! If you watch the video of last week you will see it is actually quite impressive what they were able to do with a 4x2
Another magical journey with amazing video editing and use of music. Well Done.
That little hot spring on the side of the road was my favourite. I wonder where the location is? Any pins ?
Thank you very much! I don’t have the point but it exist on IOverlander you can check it is a dot north of fiambala in the mountains there is two hot springs it is the one to the east I think
Thank you very much, and pls continue inspiring us
I love it !!! Did you have any breathing issues at 5000m? Highest elevation I’ve ever been driving at is 3200m. Ok, I have to ask, why’d you put Albatross on blocks when you stopped at the hot spring?
Hey Jim ! We did not have problem then because we had spend around 2 months always around 4000+ meters
Hahahah the blocks are to sleep flat and avoid either to have the head below the feet or that one of us rolls on the other all night
I didn't realise there is so much desert in Argentina.
Yes there s giant desert areas it is properly immense
Great Video!. I was wondering why is it that The Mamba can make it up hills when going back wards ?
Good question! The reverse is the gear with the most torque out of all.
You guys made my Saturday
How many air filters do you through
Later be safe
Since we arriving in South America it is the third one hahahahah we go through kind of fast despite cleaning them regularly
Love this stuff. Where you picked up 20l of diesel - did or do they have petrol as well?
Yes they had! But same thing only selling limited quantities
🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Wonderful guys, excited to see the rest. What about Brazil, Uruguay or Paraguay? any plans to go there? All my in-laws are in BR.
Uruguay and Brazil yes ! Paraguay we don’t think so or just as transit :) nice ! There s worst place to have in laws 😍😍😍
@@NextMeridianExpedition they are wonderful people
Encore une très chouette vidéo

Nice! Can you share the name of the towns you visited on this trail? Thanks!
Salut , on est d'accord ,endroit formidable , et pratique en bagnole...mais vous verrez d'autres endroits
sensas en marchant!!
On est d accord! On adore randonner mais sans la bagnole on arrive pas dans ces coins la. sur des semaines comme ca avec de l eau limitee on se ballade autour des camps et pas vraiment plus loin. Il y a pas enormement de sentier dans des coins 😅

Oh soo beautiful pictures from you Guys what a pity to have to listen to so emphatic Mathilde‘s voice. Maybe just try French 😊 Mathilde. Thank you
Not sure to understand your feedback
Me gusta ver europeos trabajando en mi pais y.mejor aun si son franceses

I ment CRAZY ARGENTINA ! 🤪😂😂😂
Hahahaa got it !
I am from Yemen
Our dream was always to discover Yemen hopefully one day it will be possible
I, am res. In Sanaa Capital of yemen
I,M 63 yrs
How do you finance all this?
We started this world tour 1,5 years ago with our work saving ( we spent several years saving for this project). Now we get small revenues from TH-cam and Patreon which help but don’t cover for all expenses of the trip so our savings still pay for some of it
@@NextMeridianExpedition Ok! HOw much has it cost so far?
I don't think I would trust swimming in the Hot Springs. It could be polluted there could also be urine and poop in their. Someone may have used it as a toilet. Where did the water come from since it is such a Dry desert. 🤔😂😂😂🙏🏻
It was a river flow coming in and out. Literally a hot spring coming from up the river and evacuating on the other side of the pool. You still find springs in those environments. And we were not longer in there deserts areas of the begining of the video it was 450 km away almost
