In a new video, German photographer and filmmaker Stephan Wieser takes a classic approach to telling the story of a bikepacking trip around Patagonia with a new friend. Watch the slideshow-style video featuring our friend Neza Peterca of What Happened here…

A few years back, photographer Stephan Wieser and bag maker Neza Peterca spontaneously traveled around Argentina and Chile together, despite having only just met. We featured Neza’s story, The Way of the Wind, in the 10th issue of The Bikepacking Journal, which went out to Bikepacking Collective members around the globe. Now, Stephan shares his perspective on the trip in a new slideshow-style video that asks, “What happens when two people who barely know each other set out on a bikepacking adventure through one of the wildest and most remote regions on Earth?”

Stephan’s 24-minute video recounts their battle through Argentina’s vast, windswept landscapes and Chile’s rugged wilderness, where they learned to embrace the unexpected and got to know each other along the way. It’s a cinematic bikepacking documentary about adventure, human connection, and the freedom of traveling by bicycle.
