  • Since 1965, Faustino Barrientos has lived alone on the shores of lake O'Higgins in a house built from the remains of a shipwrecked fishing vessel. He's a pastoralist, living mostly off the land and his livestock, with few modern amenities. His nearest neighbors are in Villa O'Higgins, a small community of several hundred people, 25 miles away, accessible only by a two-day horseback ride through rugged mountain animal paths. Every few years, Faustino makes this ride to sell his cattle in town.
    Currently 81 years old, Faustino is reaching the end of his life, and his self-imposed isolation is being encroached upon by the forces of government, economy, and tourism. In December 2011, VICE went to document his lifestyle and speak with him about the changing face of Patagonia and the gaucho lifestyle.

    for anyone wondering, Faustino is still alive! last report of him was August 19th, 2020. he looks healthy in the photos, accompanied by his two dogs :)
    to those who wonder where did these photos came from - a few police officers went to his home to bring him clothes and chop some wood for him and they (police) posted pictures of him, in their official twitter account.

He shot his food & mined gold to get money. Eventually died in his late 80s because he fell off a cliff and laid there and couldn't get help. That's the chances you take, living in the mountains!

    Sep 4th 2022. RUclips showed me this on my homepage. I am thoroughly impressed and awe-inspired. This man is me, in another life, or at least i hope so. I couldn't help but notice how incredibly beautiful his surroundings are. He probably didn't pay much attention to it but i think it had a major role in sustaining his mental well-being.

      the only trouble is he ended up murdering someone. Hope he repents
      of sin while there is time for him and commits to Jesus so he can avoid hell.
      But he is resourceful and a decent builder which is good. You would
      have to be a hard person too to slaughter animals. Unless you just lived
      off vegetables. But I think a lot of people see that as a romantic kind of
      life with the boat coming in every 10 days or so and total peace and quiet.
      A bit like living on a desert island. I am not sure how he makes his money?
      but he would have to eat his tinned food fairly fast too or the cans would go
      rusty. But I must say animals make for way more lovely company
      than people. So yeah it is more appealing in many ways to live like that.
      But I think its better if say 2 or 3 live that way in case you got sick or
      disabled.

    • @geniemeadows5122

      It's nice he isn't cruel in that he doesn't keep his dogs tied up thank
      goodness. So glad some other guy is close by though because if Faustino dies
      his animals would go hungry. The seasons for him are the same for me
      (September is Spring).

    I enjoyed this story. While in watching this, one does wonder about the Faustino of yesteryear, you can't help but feel endeared to this ol' fellow. Initially you get the impression of a cantankerous old hermit living like some kind of troll in the wilds of Patagonia. What I see was a kind old man with an easy smile. He really seems to enjoy Lancaster living on his land, which again, defies the Faustino his family described. By the way, I completely believe that his nephew was stealing from him! If Faustino put some lead into his arse, then good enough for him!
    Long Live Faustino!

    He reminds me of my dad who is now 80 years old green eyed, strong as an ox, can move around fine and is sharp as a tack...also a bit anti social but always a gentlemen haha. We are all born in Cali Colombia but immigrated to the USA...seems men like Faustino and my dad from that generation are going to be extinct. I served in the military for 8 years and I feel like up into his mid to late 60’s my dad could still kick my ass even though I was an army ranger haha. I know that I am different from these men no matter how much I admire and have tried to emulate♥️
