Celebrate Latin America's most iconic and dramatic locations

Through beautiful photography and the extraordinary stories of the animals and people that live there, this series celebrates Latin Americas most iconic and dramatic locations. Its taken millions of years for animals to adapt to places as different as the high Andes and the sweltering Amazon; the wind-blown Patagonian steppe and the swamps of Venezuela. The result is an incredible diversity of species from army ants to armadillos, jaguars to giant otters. Each has developed a unique way to stay alive; yet each must fit in to a complex jigsaw of life. We reveal the extraordinary behaviours and adaptations that are key to survival and success. People have had far less time to carve out a living, yet with ingenuity and determination, they too have found ways to make the most of what the continent has to offer. Incredible lifestyles continue to this day. We follow individual hunters and fishermen as they demonstrate the skills of their people. And we unveil the strange, sometimes painful rituals that determine the identity of Latin Americas diverse people. Each program ties together the latest revelations about life in this continent of extremes. These stories combine to give a fascinating, exciting and in-depth understanding of Latin America's most spectacular places.
