In 1972, a plane carrying members of the Old Christians rugby team of Montevideo crashed in the Andes, leaving behind a slew of survivors. After 72 days trapped on the mountain, 16 survivors managed to make it home.
In this episode, Eoin visits the home of one of the survivors, Antonio Vizintin, for an extended chat about those 72 days and, indeed, the reaction to the revelations that dead bodies were used for food on the mountain.
We also speak with Jorg Thomsen, director of Museo Andes 1972, and Ana Ines Martinez Lamas, who lost her brother in the crash.
There are also the sounds of Uruguayan Carnaval.
Before all that, there’s part four of the Patagonian hitchhiking journey, as Eoin embarks on a risky journey East, from Esquel.
