Sacred Flight - Return to the Heart of the World - film clip

Beginning with a trip by camper van with his parents in 1973, an adventurer became obsessed with the snow capped peaks of South America. Then after reading a 1970's National Geographic article about he Sierra Nevada Mountain range of Columbia with its remote peaks, dense jungles and indigenous tribes that shuned the outside world, he became determined to explore to the region.

A lifetime of extreme skiing and near fatal accidents prevented him from accessing the area until 1998 when he teamed up with other adventure seekers and journeyed into the world of FARC guerillas, paramilitary forces and drug lords. Upon reaching the remote jungle peaks he and his group were turned back by the local gatekeeper to the sacred snows.

In 2008, he returned to try and learn more about the reclusive tribes and to fly from their sacred peaks. - a film by Peter Chrzanowski and Ivan Hughes -
