YuA tour guide recorded the desperate moment when Lascar Volcano, in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile erupted last Saturday.
Faced with the prospect of not being able to save himself, the guide, known as Felipe, ends up saying goodbye to his family.
“The volcano has just erupted. I am on the edge of the crater. Andres, brothers, I love you very much, comrades. I don’t know what will happen. Kiss “-You can hear the person in charge say.
To local news portal Meganoticias, the guide, who has visited the crater some 700 times over the course of 17 years, described the moment. “It was an amazing experience, and I’m grateful for life,” he explained.
“It was a split second. At first I was scared, but there wasn’t much material, just ash. I was with the passengers, who were a little scared, but Calm is always a good friend, warned. At the first moment of the eruption, the group was about 50 meters from the summit, and they ended up walking 30 minutes to safety.
The worker said the company he works for is strict and will follow the recommendations of the local authorities, who have banned visits since Saturday.
