In a corner of Argentinean Patagonia, in Latin America, there is a social, productive and sustainable organization system of ancestral origins. The transhumance is related to moving and herding animals cyclically to the high mountain in the summer pastures and down to the slopes of the mountain range in the wintering grounds. Nowadays the migratory stockbreeders, Mapuche indigenous and criollos, are facing the advance of the fences, the closing of their pastures and expulsion from their lands.
