In one of his most authentic episodes, Luisito Comunica accepted Crown Tours' challenge: to travel to the heart of the Miracle of the Andes. In a video that moved thousands, he told how he crossed mountains and slept in high altitude camps to reach the place where the Uruguayan rugby players' plane crashed in 1972. With Crown Tours logo included, the video shows his emotion when he found himself in front of the crash site and the memorial.
An experience recorded by a global traveler
Luisito not only filmed landscapes: he shared an intense, intimate and deeply human experience. From the icy landscapes to the encounter with local guides and baqueanos, his account reveals the perfect combination of nature, history and genuine emotion.
For him, as for those who undertake this journey with Crown Tours, the adventure goes beyond tourism: it is about connecting with a history that is still alive, in a place that inspires introspection and change.
What is it like to travel with Crown Tours?
While Luisito explored the mountain, Crown Tours ensured that every detail was taken care ofWe offer a wide range of services: horses adapted to the terrain, equipped mountain camps, bilingual guides and all the necessary logistics to make the trip safe and meaningful.
We also know that this trip is not for everyone. It requires attitude, respect for the environment and a willingness to walk a trail that many consider sacred.
