Welcome to Where the Wild Calls: A Journey through Patagonia’s Route of Parks, an immersive audio journey through Chile’s breathtaking Route of Parks of Patagonia with host Brooke Mitchell. This groundbreaking conservation corridor stretches 1,700 miles from Puerto Montt to Cape Horn, connecting 17 national parks and preserving one of Earth’s last great wild places.

Join Brooke as she ventures from the iconic granite towers of Torres del Paine to the ancient Alerce forests of Pumalín, encountering extraordinary wildlife and the passionate people dedicated to protecting these landscapes. Each episode explores a different park and conservation story – tracking elusive pumas with researchers, witnessing the restoration of endangered Darwin’s rhea, exploring pristine temperate rainforests, and discovering how local communities are reimagining their relationship with these wild places.

Through intimate conversations with park rangers, scientists, and conservation pioneers, Brooke reveals how Chile’s Route of Parks represents a revolutionary approach to conservation – one that protects entire ecosystems rather than isolated fragments, reconnects people with nature, and demonstrates that rewilding isn’t just possible, it’s already happening.

This series offers unprecedented access to the triumphs and challenges of creating the world’s most ambitious conservation corridor.

You know that feeling when you’re standing somewhere so beautiful it takes your breath away? Well, picture this: I’m perched on a rocky outcrop in Torres del Paine, fingers frozen around my coffee thermos, binoculars in the other hand, waiting for sunrise. I mean, I’m a conservation biologist—I’ve seen my fair share of stunning places.…

Where Two Oceans Meet: The Birth of Cape Froward National Park

I’ve been saying for years that timing is wildlife encounters. Right now, surrounded by playful Peale’s Black-chinned Dolphins in the Magellan Strait, this sentiment couldn’t be more true. These curious cetaceans are putting on quite a show, diving under our zodiac and surfacing with splashes that send sprays of icy water across our faces. Just…
