Synopsis
Episodes
At the far end of the planet, where the maps end, unknown and ancient trees have managed to adapt to extreme conditions, defying the climate and men. In the driest desert in the world, in the impenetrable Patagonian forests, or on the summits of the Altiplano, these silent and sometimes sacred beings have passed through different geological eras. Witnesses to the passage of man and his evolution, today they give us their testimony.
