so, these are one of the main draws for tourists coming here to the atacama desert. an incredible place, it is the largest geyser field in the southern hemisphere. and here in the andes mountains, over1i,000 metres, it's the highest in the world. but what i find especially incredible is that we're in the atacama desert — i'm sure you've heard of it — the driest place on earth. but i'm notjust in chile sightseeing. i've come because bubbling up in this country has been an appetite for change. sirens wail. 30 years on from the era shaped by dictator augusto pinochet, many here still want change and in 2019, millions took to the streets, angry at inequality and poor public services. but by 2020, there were celebrations. a once—in—a—generation rewrite

of their constitution was voted for. i visited as the finishing touches were being put on the new draught, which, if voted in next week, supporters say will bolster public services, give environmental protections and recognition to chile's indigenous communities for the first time. i wanted to see for myself some of the ways that the country is changing as it considers reshaping not only its constitution but also, its fundamental identity. which is why, 18 hours later, ifind myself in the middle of the desert as night presses in.

so, it's half 11 at night. ifeel like i am in the middle of nowhere. i'm not quite sure what i'm getting myself into. the new constitution would also enshrine individuals' rights to water — a precious resource in a country suffering droughts, and something crucial for the indigenous community of the atacama. this ceremony brings together members of the atacamenos indigenous people, who live around northern chile, and have a deep respect for nature, having adapted to life around the desert. they've given us special permission to come along.

mabel passes aguacoya around the group — a drink with hallucinogenic effects that's made from the cactus plant.

singing.

it was quite a serene experience and it was amazing, just to see these local people and how they were so passionate and so emotional about this ceremony. she sighs. i feel really privileged that we were able to be invited to something like this. you can still hear the drums in the background. it's after four in the morning. i might leave them to it. drums beat, singing. but a community rooted in tradition has been rubbing up against a world evolving at pace. like at the nearby town of san pedro de atacama, which has expanded significantly over the last two decades due to tourism. 0k, look at this. there's a restaurant here, there's a tour operator over there,

cute little gift shop and a store selling hiking boots over there, buskers on the street, hotels with all of their swimming pools. this is a town thatjust revolves around tourism. i can't imagine how much water that uses up. outside of the town, here in this hostile, barren desert, there isn't much that grows. but still, techniques passed down by the indigenous people allowed them to live here in harmony with nature. i wanted to catch up with rosa, the water—bearer from last night's ceremony, to find out a little more about how their position in the modern world here is changing. rosa, how is it so green here? this is crazy! it's like magic, thanks to the water. they chuckle.

the idea is we respect the cycle. in winter, the mother earth rest. some of the techniques here use ancient atacamenos methods, like irrigation channels, which allow these plants to be watered sparingly — just once a month. the idea of this project teach to the world how important is preserve and protect the mother earth. when you come to the desert, not only is landscape and picture, it's introduce and understand how live the local people, how important is the water. and we can live and we can protect the wildlife, too. there are other big changes afoot for the wider community here. can you talk me through what this will mean for your people? well, this is good opportunity for recognise the indigenous people in chile, in the constitution.

we have other concepts for life and that is very important because they give more tools for protect the area, especially the water. recognition is beginning to take shape. some tourist sites, like the geysers, are now co—managed by the indigenous community, allowing them to take an active role in their changing world. but the atacamenos weren't the first indigenous people to call chile home. i left rosa and headed further up the coast to arica. between 7000 and 1500 bc, the hunter gatherer chinchorro lived here and developed complex mummification practices which have astounded 21st—century researchers. last year, chinchorro burial

culture was officially recognised by unesco, who placed it on their world heritage list. but despite this, the chinchorro still haven't entirely caught the public�*s imagination. the small fishing village of caleta camarones is the closest town to one of the world's top sites where the chinchorro mummies have been found. but here, chinchorro enthusiasts will find little more than a themed restaurant and some statues. so, before we came here, some people said you could see the mummies in the ground and some said you couldn't, so i wasn't really sure what we'd find. but while we were having lunch, we got talking to the guy who runs the place and he says he can show us some mummies in the ground, so — and it's two minutes down the road, so we're on our way.

currently, the mummies buried in the ground are being left there by archaeologists for their protection. 0k. here? and as we approach, we take great care not to disturb any of the remains. wow. it's so close to the road. what was it like growing up here? did you see many mummies when you were a child?

there are thought to be thousands of mummies still in these hills and evidence of the chinchorro is scattered all around the area. behind the scenes of the san miguel de azapa museum, the careful study and preservation of the majority of the chinchorro mummies takes place. there's so many mummies here, vivien! how many? yes, we have about 70 mummies, chinchorro mummies, in this store. let me show you a chinchorro mummy.

it's quite small. what can you tell me about this mummy? because if it was me, i would be very scared to work here. what do you love about yourjob? oh, it's very interesting. but these fragile relics, which date back as much as 2000

years before the egyptian mummies, are deteriorating at an increasing rate, in part due to climate change. there's no air conditioning here, and rising humidity levels are a big threat to the mummies. but it's hoped that a new $25 million museum will help protect them. is the local peoples' relationship with these mummies starting to change?

do you know, what i find really amazing, is that i'd had never even heard of the chinchorro mummies until i came to chile. now, this is crazy because they're the old mummies in the world, and everyone of course has heard of the egyptian mummies, but not the chinchorro mummies. so i get the feeling that things here are slowly changing and maybe in the future they'll get the recognition that they deserve. and along with this renewed appreciation of ancient chilean culture, there's also a greater focus forming on the stunning and unique landscapes and wildlife

that you'll find here. i headed south to patagonia's new route of parks. here, 17 old and new national parks are joined together to create a huge network of wild areas to explore, an area the size of switzerland. it's been one outcome from the largest private land donation in history to create a conservation project on a vast scale. myjourney to its heart takes me six hours in a 4x4. so, we've blown a tire and, as you can see behind me, the road is pretty rough. we've hit one of these huge potholes and i guess that's part of the story of tourism here. you know, the infrastructure is still a work in progress. but, fortunately, all the locals have been super helpful. for two american philanthropists, doug and kris tompkins, the route of parks was just one part

of a decades—long project in both chile and argentinian patagonia. over the course of 30 years, doug, kris and the tompkins conversation organisation bought 2 million acres of land across chile and argentina. i am very proud of what we do because every hectare we have ever purchased goes right back to the people of the country. if you want to conserve a territory and bring back species who've gone toward a point where their numbers are quite low, you have to, a, consult the geniuses of the place who are the people who've lived here for a very long time, because we're coming in and we don't really know that much about how these areas function, and they do.

the chilean gaucho traditionally is a horseman skilled at protecting cattle and sometimes hunting predators. but gaucho don daniel now has a wider view of predators which are an important part of the wildlife ecosystem. he now monitors and protects native deer. today, he uses modern techniques to track the huemuls nearby.

so, the signal's quite strong when we point the antenna that way. it's like one of those tv antennas from the '70s or '80s that you had on your roof. but it seems to be doing the job. 0h, yep. i can hear it. 99% of the original huemul population are thought to have been lost, placing the breed on the endangered list. with don daniel's help, we soon spot something in the distance. gosh, look at don daniel go. so, we've actually found a huemul deer. can you see him in the distance?

he's just sitting there in the grass and he's quite well camouflaged. we move for a closer look and quickly see that there are three huemul together. so we're approaching the deer from a lower ground angle so we don't scare them.

it's unbelievable that now the numbers have grown and we've been able to track them within the space of a quarter of an hour, and here we are, and we're able to get this close to them. doug tompkins sadly never saw his plan with kris finalised, as he passed away in 2015. a good friend of mine from new york city wrote to me just a few days after he died and she said, "look, you have a choice here. you can be the long—suffering widow or you can get out of bed and go do these things." and she was right. ihad... that was a conscious decision i was going to have to make, and so, ijust thought,

"ok, let's go for it." and that's when i started trying to tie up everything, and within two years, we had them all donated. wow. and that was a lot of work. and i think it saved my life, needing to do that. yeah. i think there's a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in chile right now, young and old. and, certainly, the environment is one of the big platforms of this new administration. ijust don't think i was expecting what an amazing place of contrast this country is. but at the same time, there's lots bringing it together at the moment, like a new focus on the environment and conservation, an ambition to set a new course to the future, treasuring their common heritage and their common land for generations to come.

hello, there. for many of us, it's a bank holiday weekend. what's the weather got in store? well, it's going to be essentially largely dry. we started off with a lot of sunshine this morning, and that's the way the weather's going to stay for most of us, with high pressure in charge. the only real exception is across northern ireland, where we've got this thicker cloud working in — that's bringing some patchy, light outbreaks of rain to western counties. otherwise, as we go on through to the afternoon, there will be one or two showers bubbling up across parts of the uk, but not many around — so even in the areas that i'm going to mention showers, there won't be many. now, there'll be a few popping up just inland from the south coast — the south coast itself should stay entirely dry.

the west midlands could see an odd shower, parts of northwest england, running up to northumberland and into eastern areas of scotland. but, as i say, even for these areas, there will hardly be any showers today, so the emphasis is on a lot of dry weather through the afternoon, and it will feel warm in the day's sunshine with temperatures widely into the low 20s, reaching around 2a or 25 degrees in the warmest spots of england and wales. overnight tonight, clearskies for england and wales. always thicker cloud for scotland and northern ireland, with outbreaks of rain. becoming a bit heavier, a bit more extensive across the western isles and into the highlands. temperatures overnight about 10 to 1a degrees. and tomorrow, again, it is a largely dry picture — although, that said, we start off with this thicker cloud, still some patches of rain affecting the northwest of scotland. perhaps an odd shower for northern ireland — maybe an odd one for england and wales — but for most it's another dry day with sunny spells. temperatures not really changing that much — 21 in glasgow, a 20 for belfast, up to 23 or 2a in the warmest parts of england and wales.

and this area of high pressure's going to stay with us for what for many of us will be bank holiday monday. now, around that area of high pressure, we're going to get some slightly stronger north—to—northeasterly winds blowing in across the north sea, and that will bring some slightly fresher air in to parts of eastern scotland, eastern england. and, after a sunny start, cloud will develop and it probably will turn quite cloudy for a time towards the middle part of the day. so temperatures easing a little across these eastern areas — the warmest weather for southern parts of wales, with highs of about 24. and, of course, it's the return of the notting hill carnival, which is on throughout the weekend and into bank holiday monday. tiny chance of a shower. essentially, it should stay dry throughout. and a lot of dry weather next week, as well, with that high pressure going nowhere very far, very fast — although we could see some rain towards the end of the week in the north.
