Nice Documentary
Good coverage of varied parts of South American continent, from the Andes to Amazon. Great scenes and camera work especially while covering the Andes. There are lot of documentaries on the TV about Amazon, but very less about the deserts and their inhabitants that lie east of the Andes.
Virtual travel for an ex-resident
My frame of reference:
Lived in Brasil while I was a pre-teen, in Sao Paulo. Visited the countryside, south to Argentina, to the west, and to the north.
For me, Wild South America is like accurate travel to a time and place that I love and miss.
Impressions:
Wild South America is a story of the vast region of contrasting environments with its many plant and animal inhabitants interlocked in complex and competitive ecological relationships. It is told with gorgeous cinematography, crisply edited, and is narrated intelligently. Mostly Brazilian music is used to enhance the sense of place, as well as Andean pan flute music.
Each part is titled accurately so you could skip a region or revisit it if you prefer.
The series is comprehensive enough that if you're considering a visit and are wondering where--and as importantly what time of year to tour particular regions, it will provide some useful insight.
The series has many...
Amazing continent
This series is comprehensive in its coverage of South America from its geology, geography, wild life, inhabitants and history. What a great series! Learned many things about this wonderful place.
