  This piece follows the journey of the Biobío river in southern Chile, from its mouth in the city of Concepción up to its source in the Andes, the homeland of the Pehuenche indigenous people. Written in the format of a travelogue, the piece is the first part of a larger work that reflects on the position of humans with respect to the different rhythms inherent to the landscapes we form part of. This part deals specifically with the geosphere, superposing the physical journey that follows the course of the Biobío river with a temporal journey that traces the geological evolution of the landscape.
