On the channel

What you’ll find

Every video on the channel falls into one of these three categories, so you can go straight to what you need.

Travel guides

A destination start to finish: getting there, where to sleep, which routes to hike and what it costs. Made to plan your trip with the video open.

Routes & trails

The route in detail: the course, the climb, the difficulty and the stretches worth knowing before you set off. From alpine lakes to via ferratas and summits.

Extras

A bit of everything between routes: what to pack in your first-aid kit, cycling across the Netherlands, Eindhoven’s GLOW light festival or a race through the city. Everything that isn’t a destination or a trail, but still happens outdoors.

For travel creators

Behind the camera

Part of the challenge of making this channel is also sharing what the process is like with other travellers and content creators. How Espíritu Outdoor started, how I make it, and what I keep learning about filming, editing and publishing on my channel.

About

Hi, I’m Gabriel

I’m Argentine, and I started Espíritu Outdoor in early 2024 with a simple idea: tell, in Spanish, the routes I wish I’d found properly explained before going. I live in the Netherlands, where the nearest mountain is a long way off, so every trip is planned carefully and made the most of.

I’m drawn to volcanic landscapes, less-travelled destinations and trips where trekking blends with local culture. I film, edit and write every video myself.
