Review

Jane Rackham

TV’s obsession with “intrepid” stars indulging in have-a-go or wacky adventures in places most of us will never visit continues with Nick Knowles exploring southern Chile. After a spot of precarious rock climbing (and why not?), he meets some tiny Magellanic penguin chicks, stands on the deck of a replica of Darwin’s ship HMS Beagle and learns about wind energy.

He’s surprised by the miles of grass scrubland, but what really blows him away is a humbling encounter with Dimitri, who is raising awareness for Huntington’s disease by cycling 11,000 miles though South America. The Andes are impressive — but so is that.
