This trip saved me. I can handle anything now.
En la noche del 15 de enero, la televisión pública española cerró la primera edición de 'Hasta el fin del mundo' con un desenlace que fue tanto personal como competitivo: Jedet y Andrea Compton cruzaron primeras la línea de meta tras sesenta días y más de 15.000 kilómetros por ocho países. Lo que comenzó como un reto de resistencia física terminó revelándose como un viaje interior, recordándonos que los grandes desplazamientos geográficos a menudo son, en el fondo, travesías del alma.
- Una tormenta severa amenazó con cerrar el Estrecho de Magallanes y obligó a la producción a evacuar a todos los concursantes y trasladar la meta final a Tierra del Fuego, convirtiendo el desenlace en una prueba de supervivencia.
- Las parejas debían financiar su propio trayecto trabajando en lo que encontraban: inspectoras de tren, recolectoras de setas, cualquier oficio que les permitiera seguir avanzando.
- Jedet se derrumbó emocionalmente sobrevolando los campos de tulipanes de Trevelin, confesando que cargaba con el peso de un año devastador y que no quería regresar a la vida que había dejado atrás.
- Al llegar al punto final, todas las parejas encontraron un libro de registro sin firmar y cada una creyó haber llegado primera, prolongando la incertidumbre hasta el último instante.
- Jedet y Andrea Compton, que no esperaban ganar, se alzaron con la victoria; pero la transformación personal que describió Jedet —'este viaje me salvó, me curó'— eclipsó cualquier trofeo.
El jueves 15 de enero, RTVE emitió el final de 'Hasta el fin del mundo', un concurso de viajes que durante sesenta días había llevado a seis parejas de famosos por más de 15.000 kilómetros a través de ocho países. Al cruzar primeras la línea de meta, Jedet y Andrea Compton recibieron su distinción de manos de la presentadora Paula Vázquez. Tras ellas llegaron Aldo Comas y José Lamuño en segundo lugar, y Rocío Carrasco y Anabel Dueñas en tercero.
El tramo final resultó el más exigente de toda la expedición. Una tormenta severa amenazó con cerrar el Estrecho de Magallanes, y la producción decidió evacuar a todos los concursantes y trasladar el punto de encuentro definitivo a Tierra del Fuego. Lo que debía ser un cierre ordenado se convirtió en una última batalla contra la climatología y la geografía patagónica.
A lo largo del recorrido, las parejas tuvieron que trabajar para costearse el viaje. Carrasco y Dueñas ejercieron de inspectoras de tren y recolectoras de setas; Comas y Lamuño sufrieron pistas de tierra interminables antes de emocionarse ante el glaciar Perito Moreno. El desgaste físico y emocional fue acumulándose día a día.
Fue en Trevelin, sobrevolando campos de tulipanes, donde Jedet se quebró. Habló del peso de un año terrible y del miedo a volver. Pero al acercarse el final, algo cambió en ella: 'Este viaje me salvó. Puedo con todo. Este viaje me curó.' Cuando las seis parejas llegaron al destino y encontraron un libro de registro sin firmar, cada una creyó haber ganado. Esa ambigüedad final pareció el cierre perfecto para una competición que siempre había sido, sobre todo, un viaje hacia adentro.
On Thursday evening, January 15th, Spanish public television aired the finale of 'Hasta el fin del mundo,' a travel competition that had sent six pairs of celebrities across more than 15,000 kilometers over sixty days through eight countries. When the dust settled, Jedet and Andrea Compton crossed the finish line first. The two friends, who admitted they hadn't expected to win, received their victory insignia from Paula Vázquez, the show's host. Behind them came Aldo Comas and José Lamuño in second place, followed by Rocío Carrasco and Anabel Dueñas in third. Nía and J Kbello finished fourth, Alba Carrillo and Cristina Cifuentes fifth, and Yolanda Ramos with her niece Ainoa Olivares Ramos in sixth.
The final stretch proved to be the most punishing portion of the entire journey. The route required crossing between Chile and Argentina, and the competitors found themselves battling a severe storm that threatened to close the Strait of Magellan entirely. The production team made the difficult decision to evacuate all the contestants and relocate the final meeting point to Tierra del Fuego, where the decisive race would begin. What had been planned as a straightforward conclusion became a test of resilience against both weather and geography.
Throughout the expedition, the pairs had to work to fund their own passage. Carrasco and Dueñas took jobs as train inspectors and mushroom foragers. Comas and Lamuño endured one of the journey's harshest moments when their route took them down unpaved roads, though their arrival at Perito Moreno glacier brought them to tears. The physical demands were relentless, and the emotional toll accumulated with each passing day.
In the final days, Jedet and Andrea Compton flew over fields of tulips in Trevelin. It was there that Jedet broke down. She spoke about carrying the weight of a terrible year, about not wanting to return to the life she'd left behind. But as the journey neared its end, her perspective shifted. She reflected on what the expedition had given her: 'This trip saved me. I can handle anything now. This trip healed me.' The words captured something the competition had offered all the participants—a space to step outside their ordinary lives and discover what they were capable of enduring.
When all six pairs finally arrived at the designated endpoint, they found an unsigned logbook waiting for them. Each team believed they had arrived first. That moment of uncertainty, that final ambiguity before the results were announced, seemed fitting for a competition that had been as much about personal transformation as about speed and strategy. The inaugural edition of 'Hasta el fin del mundo' closed with the physical challenge complete, but the real journey—the one that had reshaped the contestants—would continue long after they returned home.

The Hearth Conversation Another angle on the story
What made this competition different from other reality shows? Why did people sign up for something this grueling?
It wasn't about fame or money in the traditional sense. These were people who needed to step outside their lives for sixty days. The work requirement—having to earn your passage—that changed everything. It wasn't a vacation.
Tell me about that moment when Jedet broke down in Trevelin.
She was honest in a way most people aren't on camera. She said she'd had a terrible year and didn't want to go back to her old life. But by then, the journey had already changed her. She could feel it.
Did the other pairs experience something similar?
Not all of them articulated it the same way, but yes. Comas and Lamuño wept at the glacier. Carrasco and Dueñas worked as train inspectors and mushroom pickers. The work humbled everyone. You can't fake that kind of exhaustion.
The final stage was nearly impossible—the weather, the evacuations. Did that feel like the competition was testing them unfairly?
It tested them, yes. But that's what made it real. They weren't in a controlled environment. They were in Patagonia in January, which is unforgiving. The route change to Tierra del Fuego wasn't a failure—it was the actual conditions they had to survive.
And at the end, they all thought they'd won?
They found an unsigned logbook. That uncertainty was perfect. It meant they'd all pushed to the absolute limit, all believed they'd succeeded. The competition was almost secondary to what the journey itself had done to them.
