What a wonderful documentary about change and the last gasp of a traditional world. Achingly beautiful, sad, and touching portrait of a dying tradition. Thank you for bringing this to a larger audience.
I'm in USA and it brought me to tears, first to see such humble, brave and honored people, than to see how bad the humanity handle its resources. I wish I could help Mr. Baltazar and his family to achieve better life quality. Im touched by his testimony and beauty of that region. God bless you Mr Baltazar, you sure inspired thousnads.
I'm happy to give an update about this man his life has completely changed since this documentary about him came out. Once the mayor of his town heard his story,he was so upset about how much he was getting paid for his hard work, he decided to hire him as a tour guide. The man has even become a local celebrity in his hometown, he has even traveled all over the world to give talks about his work. Also two universities have even given him a doctor's degree in cultural conservation
This is proof our seniors were very hard worker and we are getting lazy everyday. May god bless this old man and his family. Few drops of tears rolled out from my eyes. Pass it on and let others to know hard working worth and it always allows-others to encourage to do smart work. Loved it
made my eyes in to tears...my respect to you Sir Baltazar you know that getting ice from that mountain won't made you rich but the passion and willingness to sell ice that to people is priceless..im amazed also on how u make ropes on those grass that you get along the way thank you...phiippines
Nice Message for my friend Baltazar I will give you an update of him he just got an eye infection and he can't see very well and he is no longer working. He is so happy now he resting and he says waiting that God knocks the doors of he's heart and be with him.
When the brother said he was forced to retire to construction I laughed. Mr Baltazar is almost 20 years my senior and I would literally die trying to keep up with him.
I kinda broke in tears seeing how my ppl work hard from my beautiful country Ecuador 🇪🇨 to survive,other than keeping an tradition alive,a beautiful culture,legends for ever !!
Grande es este señor se ve el amor que tiene por su trabajo muchos nos quejamos por las cosas que tenemos mejor que el, mas sin enbargo este gran señor se gana mis respetos a su edad no le anda poniendo limite a su vejez mas sin enbargo el sigue en su lucha a seguir con lo que sus antepasados le enseñaron. Gracias don Baltazar por darnos una leccion de como es amar la vida

Development and changes. Takes all the innocence from this world.. God bless Mr Baltazar.. Salute to your passion and romance that you are showing to your job that came to you from your forefathers...
Thanks for showing us the beautiful side of the world .. The music & the scene from 12:45 touched my heart :D :) Am in love with this place & i really liked the story of that man 'Baltazar Ushca' . Love from INDIA :D :)
Hoy miro este video, soy ecuatoriana, y me enorgullece, conocer mi bello país, a través de este documental, gracias por llevarnos emoción a cada uno de nosotros.
cada vez q veo un reportaje de este señor tan humilde me lleno de orgullo y tambien me recuarda a mi padre es tan sencillo como el q Dios lo vendiga y nos siga enorgulleciedo a nuestro pais por su trabajo y esfuerzo
Mis mas profundos respetos y admiración para Baltazar Ushca Tenesaca QEPD un gran hombre sencillo con un fortaleza admirable, saludos desde Machala Ecuador 🇪🇨. 😥😥😢
Recuerdo que un tiempo que estaba enamorado de una chica ella se fue a estudiar a Riobamba y yo echo el loco decidí irla a visitar sin aviso nada menos y nada más que a semejante frío subiendo de la costa por economizar y todo el hotel donde estaba era el más barato y no tenía calefacción me toco bañarme con una agua que me congelaba hasta los huesos al siguiente día me dijeron que era esa agua de una toma salida de una vertiente del Chimborazo ya que estábamos a las faldas del volcán. Fue una experiencia única y el frío & ese viejo amor siempre me traen lindos recuerdos
WOWOWOW I'm so touched by this it has that heightened romanticism about it. LOVEE! beautifully done by the way just makes you wanna visit Ecuador it looks very scenic oh dearrr :D
You should search for the new train in Ecuador video here in UA-cam, it's a beautiful trip in one of the oldest trains in South America but the scenery, culture and food that you will get to taste is amazing. Also you will be supporting the hard work of these amazing people!!!
Una producción excelente, soy cubana de 80 años,no sabía que eso existía, nos hemos perdido tantas cosas preciosas que existían, el documental me fascinó, ojalá que todo lo que fue quedando atrás lo hubiésemos visto, gracias, por su excelente trabajo
Nowadays he is a public employee (touristic guide). With some public help, he could finish the primary school recently. Guano government has helped him a lot. He is getting older in a best way.
@URSS UNIDA De donde eres tu y la massima vieja de tu casa es un Pais de mierda!!! Lo que te arde que El Ecuador es pequenio, però tiene de todo!!! Lo mejor...
I make my own directionally frozen, clear-as-glass ice. That factory-made white ice at 5:41.... I would spend the extra money for the Chimborazo ice for sure, it looks really good and pure.
Is with great sadness that I have to share with you that Baltazar had passed away, consequent of bull attack. Baltazar represents Ecuadorians. Hard work, simplicity and living injustice in the middle of paradise
Felicito al señor de este documental, es un excelente trabajo el que el realiza y ama su cultura lo que sus ancestros le dejaron como legado.Felicitaciones también al equipo de filmación.
RIP Baltazar. What a inspirational legend of a man. God Bless you, your family and your culture. 🙏❤️

Hi
That's a real super human !!! Blessings and my prayers for Baltazar and his family ❤️ VIVA EL ECUADOR 🤩! CARAJUUU!!!
"People don't miss something until it's gone" 😣😢
That's touched my little heart.
True
Too bad no one's missing him yet. Maybe some years later
yeah i was about to say i didnt know that this viejito died?
direct translation “people don’t miss something until it all will be done/over”
Qué orgullo por este admirable personaje, el cine o Netflix deberían hacerle una película completa en su propio mundo.
They need to make a statue of that man and his humble companions near that mountain
There is one in Guano museam, where Baltazar lives
Hermoso lugar tiene Ecuador bendiciones maestro DIOS le dé mucha salud y fuerza 🙂🙂👍👍💪💪saludos desde PERÚ
Hoy miro este video, soy ecuatoriana, y me enorgullece, conocer mi bello país, a través de este documental, gracias por llevarnos emoción a cada uno de nosotros.
Que bello documental. Me llega al corazón ver que este señor es tan trabajador y humilde. Y vive en las faldas del nevado mas majestuoso del Ecuador.
Grande Baltazar ,ahora que falleció su legado se vuelve más grande...
cada vez q veo un reportaje de este señor tan humilde me lleno de orgullo y tambien me recuarda a mi padre es tan sencillo como el q Dios lo vendiga y nos siga enorgulleciedo a nuestro pais por su trabajo y esfuerzo
I come back every so often to rewatch this, amazing video!!!

Grande don Baltazar, una reliquia viviente que aún en el siglo XXI lo podemos apreciar.
I am very proud of you, your hard work for your family. Lots of love ❤️ from Philippines. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. God Bless.
This guy brought tears to the eyes of a kid whose nearly emotionless well I am literally emotionless when it comes to school I only laugh a bit.
las personas no extrañan algo, hasta que se acabe todo.
Sabias palabras, ojalá un día no sea tarde, y el planetq sea salvado
Javier Iza Definitivamente, sabias palabras!
Esa es la mejor frace muchas cosas que mis tatara abuelo hacía y nadie aprendió se extraña
En realidad que si.. da mucha tristeza
I just watched the same documentary on the Atlantic site, and now I'm going to watch it again here. Simply wonderful. Thanks.

Orgulloso d mi Tierra llamada Ecuador... Sin duda baltazar....orgullo ecuatoriano... Y reconocido en el mundo.... 🇪🇨
Larga vida y salud a D. Baltazar!. Desde España un saludo.
He aquí en Ecuador la evidencia de ese "realismo mágico" que crece como una fábula viviente en ciertas historias personales...
Hector Gaibor totalmente de acuerdo
Totalmente de acuerdo. La simpleza de esa gente. Es dificil no pensar en Garcia Márquez, Facundo Cabral.
Also the donkey are so hardworking
Long live donkey
Long live Donkey ✊
it died
The names the Donkeys is July And Widinson.
"las personas no extrañan algo hasta que este se acaba todo".

You're the definition of LEGEND sir.
Que paradisiacos paisajes. Muy hermoso Ecuador. Don Baltazar me recordo a mi abuelo, fuerte, calloso, dominador de la bestia y del campo.
This man is really famous he is been on German tv UK Australia U.S. I hope he getting his interview money
unfortunately he get only crumbs
Nowadays he is a public employee (touristic guide). With some public help, he could finish the primary school recently. Guano government has helped him a lot. He is getting older in a best way.
Que excelente documental tenía altas expectativas con el new York Times y no me fallaron
Excelente documental, inigualable la vida del último hielero del Chimborazo, representante del pueblo indígena de nuestro Ecuador
This made me so happy! Thank you for this!
Es uno de los documentales mas bellos y naturales. gracias,es correcto no valoramos sino hasta que esto se fue o se acabo,que lastima.
Un verdadero ecuatoriano macho alfa 💪 orgullo ecuatoriano carajo 😌
