The aim of this contribution is to investigate the current state of vulnerability in relation to climate, politic, and economic crisis in extreme territories such as Chile. These territories are leftovers of the capitalist neoliberal mode of space occupation, yet they can represent reservoirs of resilience for developing different interactions with the landscape and its ecology. The first question that the paper aims to investigate is the relation between land and the informal issue in the extreme Chilean territory. The analytical reading of the Chilean terre that we want to propose is based on social, cultural, and natural geographical conditions. In order to spatialize the Chilean context, it becomes necessary to talk about Espace to introduce spatial categories into social criticism. Thus, an open process based on mapping is set to identify a methodology to identify the risk and resources of these extreme areas. Finally, the Gran Valparaíso region case is set to visualize these spaces as geographies of possibilities.
