Etymology
The title "Caminandes" is a portmanteau of the Spanish word "caminar" ("to walk") and Andes, the longest continental mountain range in the world. The subtitles of episodes 2 and 3 are also portmanteaus of various Spanish words.
Plot
The films center on Koro the llama{{efn|name=fn1|More precisely, Koro is a "chulengo", a young guanaco, which is the wild counterpart to the llama.}} and his attempts to overcome various obstacles in Patagonia.
; Caminandes 1: Llama Drama (2013)
Koro has trouble crossing an apparent desolate road, a problem that an unwitting Armadillo does not share.
; Caminandes 2: Gran Dillama (2013)
Koro hunts for food on the other side of a fence and is once again inspired by the Armadillo but this time to a shocking effect.
; Caminandes 3: Llamigos (2016)
Koro meets Oti, a pesky magellanic penguin, in an epic battle over tasty red berries during the winter.

- Linux, a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution
The first film was produced by Pablo Vazquez, Beorn Leonard and Francesco Siddi with a soundtrack by Jan Morgenstern. Hjalti Hjalmarsson, Andy Goralczyk and Sergey Sharybin joined the production team for the second film.
