El Chalten NOT so SECRET Waterfall

  • One of the most iconic images of Cerro Fitz Roy is taken at a location affectionately known as the Secret Waterfall. It's obviously not so secret any more and in my opinion that is totally fine as long as the location is treated with continued respect and maybe managed a bit better by the APN.
    In this video we dive into the Secret Waterfall location and one added bonus location on the way back down. I hope you like the video!

    The Patagonia series continues next week with our first video from Torres del Paine. See you there!

    Lovely video and images. I love that image of Mount Fitzroy and the reflection. Martin and I were there in 2015 and did the entire hike from top to bottom. But we missed this waterfall. We did some cascades just off the main trail, but the weather was miserable with rain and hail. By the way, I do see our friend Ike in a couple of shots.

    Well worth the early start, i can see why you would take people to this location, its stunning, love the images of the fall but also the reflection image was really good. Your level of fitness must be a lot better than mine that pack, two tripod and a gimbal , not sure i would have managed all that, great results though mate !

    • @gregsnell
      @gregsnell  Год назад +1

      Yeah the gear was a bit overkill on this trip. Two tripods for timelapse/stills & Gimbal for video. I guess the good thing is I do use it all when on location and the pack balances the weight well enough.

    Great vlogs so far and love the photo's especially the golden reeds. I am going to Torres del Paine and possible now to El Chalten next February. Based on your route from El Chalten to Torres del Paine was it hard to get gas as some blogs I have read suggested it could be an issue?

    • @gregsnell
      @gregsnell  Год назад

      Yeah you can only get gas at El Chalten and then Esperanza on route towards the border at Cerró Castillo.

    Really nice stuff. I am heading down there with a buddy in a week. I'm curious about the location of the little lagoon (with the reflection in the reeds).

    • @gregsnell
      @gregsnell  5 месяцев назад +1

      It’s nearby on the circle track at Laguna Capri. If you don’t go the way of the lake but the other way you should come across it but keep your eyes open so you don’t miss it. I find it’s best to visit on the way back down.

    I'm just catching up to this video. Doesn't the DJI wireless mic have a recording function in its receiver? You didn't have backup video stored there? Or had you already overwritten it with audio from later videos?

    • @gregsnell
      @gregsnell  Год назад

      Hi John!! Yeah it does but you have to set it up to record internally instead of just reading directly to the camera. Not a bad idea, problem is I had turned it off and on during the hike down to save battery and at the very very end simply forgot to turn it back on. A rookie mistake that hopefully won't happen again. That said I've done it in the past with other mics you have to physically turn on before recording. Sometimes you just forget.

    It is not allowed to leave the trails. In this video they do things that go against the rules of the national park. They should not encourage people to not respect the rules.

    Fun fact, that waterfall is off trail and an off limits area. You're basically saying it's fine to go off trails against APN park rules. Encouraging people to do as you do.. broadcasting it and making it a "not so secret" is dangerous and stepping over the Park Ranger's work to conserve the area... I'm glad you appreciate our park, but placing it on google maps so that everyone can see it an go off the marked trail, outright saying you ruined it and laughing about just confirms how self entitled North Americans can be... I don't think you understand the park receives thousands upon thousands of tourists per season... whether they be hiking tourists who appreciate nature, care for it, look after it and clean up after themselves or people who constantly destroy it just to get the best Instagram photo, it's quite damaging to the environment. As an Argentinian and Chalten native for well over a decade, I have to say I'm quite disappointed in this video.
