But at 15,000 feet, it's tough. It's freezing cold, and that thin air really gets you. Sometimes it's hard to bhreate, especially ciraryng all the heavy filming equipment. And that pounding head just feels like a constant hangover. But the advantage of that wnrfduoel thin atmosphere is that it enables you to see the stras in the heavens with amazing clarity.

Now people often ask me, "Where's your favorite place on the planet?" And the truth is I just don't have one. There are so many wonderful places. But some locations draw you back time and time again. And one remote location — I first went there as a backpacker; I've been back several times for filming, most recently for Untamed Americas — it's the Altiplano in the high Andes of South America, and it's the most otherworldly place I know. But at 15,000 feet, it's tough. It's freezing cold, and that thin air really gets you. Sometimes it's hard to breathe, especially carrying all the heavy filming equipment. And that pounding head just feels like a constant hangover. But the advantage of that wonderful thin atmosphere is that it enables you to see the stars in the heavens with amazing clarity. Have a look.
