【简介】 一连六集，探索南美洲大陆上繁杂独特、惊险刺激的野生生态。从赤道几乎伸展至南极，广袤的南美大陆地貌悬殊，既有热带海洋，也有冰冠雪山。地球上最大的河系、最长的山系、最大的雨林和最乾的沙漠，都在南美洲。 摄影队运用红外线夜视摄影机和最先进的摄影技术，把鲜为人知的动物呈现在我们眼前。而空中摄影师则飞跃大陆，以全新角度记录南美洲那变化多端的地貌。 这六集特辑带我们深入亚马逊盆地，登上安第斯山脉的雪峰，横穿大草原，穿梭生气勃勃的雨林，最后饱览南美洲那壮观的海岸线--这旅程终身难忘。 第一集：迷失的世界 从生存艰难的安第斯雪峰，到生气盎然的亚马逊盆地，《迷失的世界》带大家进入南美洲，你会知道为什么会有这么一大群奇特的野生生物生活在这个大陆上，以及它们是如何生活的。独特的生物，趣怪的行为，再加上慑人魂魄的美景，引领大家观赏这个地貌悬殊的原始大陆。 第二集：神奇亚马逊河 亚马逊盆地一望无际。从亚马逊河的源头，流淌出占地球总量五分之一的河水，在上游一千英里处，河面仍有七米宽。亚马逊河及其支流养活了很多鱼类，其数量是全欧洲鱼类总量的十倍。本集讲野生生物如何适应这水世界，尤其是当季节转变时，临近森林的水位高达十米，生物是如何生存下去的。 第三集：凶险大草原 巴西大平原是南美一些最独特而鲜为人知的动物的家园。金刚鹦鹉、鬃狼、蟒蛇与美洲豹等，必须应付形成此极端之地的火灾、旱灾和水灾。大草原满布甲壳犰狳、食蟹狐狸、丛林犬、一大群有羽冠的叫鸟及巨型食蚁兽，使得南美大陆的声色别开生面。 第四集：极地安第斯 安第斯山脉是全世界最长的山脉，从热带地区伸延至亚南极区。其冰雪力量主宰一些动物的生活。这些动物坚忍不屈，敢于以雪山为家，视生存为对自然的一大挑战。从云雾笼罩的密林，到高原沙漠的盐湖，再到广阔无边的巴塔哥尼亚冰原，安第斯山脉集结了无数触目惊心的故事。 第五集：亚马逊丛林 亚马逊丛林是全球最大的雨林，所以居住在这里的动物也比其他区域多。雨林的树冠有鲜艳夺目的雀鸟，猴类也比其他森林多，有狨、小鹃猴、吼猴、僧面猴、秃猴及蛛猴……尽管生命繁盛，但这儿毕竟是个难以生存的地方。 第六集：企鹅海岸 本集摄影队追踪南美洲冰冷而浩瀚的海流，从风浪巨大的南部海洋源头出发，沿着浩瀚澎湃的洪堡特洋流，朝赤道进发。摄影队化腐朽为神奇，把荒凉之域变为丰富的海洋生态系统，海鸟也密集其中。分享这富饶海流的还有企...

Seven years ago, Stephen Fry travelled through all fifty states of the USA in a black cab. But he’s always been fascinated by events south of the border, so now, in this brand new four-part series, he embarks on an adventure into America’s backyard. Travelling through Mexico and the entire Central American isthmus, to the Panamanian border with South America, it’s a remarkable trip through some of the oldest civilisations on the planet – Mayan, Aztec and Olmec. He visits some of the most dangerous, but breathtakingly beautiful, countries as he learns all about the people, the places, the wildlife and the history. In episode one, Stephen begins his journey on the Sante Bridge separating El Paso in Texas from Ciudad Juarez in Mexico, an important transit point for the drug cartels and considered one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico. He boards the converted school bus he’ll be travelling on, to avoid attracting the attention of the locals and heads towards Chihuahua. En route, his driver takes him to see some of the local cowboys before he experiences the enduring patriotism of a local hero, the revolutionary Pancho Villa, who lead the Army of the North, in the revolutionary war of 1914. Boarding the El Chepe train he heads into the Sierra Madre mountains and the magnificent Copper Canyon, where he overcomes his fears and takes one of the longest zip wire rides in the world, 80 miles an hour two kilometres down, to where the Tamahumara people live. On seeing the canyon for the first time, Stephen says: “Look at that, it’s absolutely stunning. I’m tempted to say Arizona eat your heart out. It’s extraordinary, it’s sort of more beautiful than the Grand Canyon.” Leaving the canyon, he arrives in the old silver mining town of Real de Catorce. Once booming with the fortunes of its wares, the town fell from grace in 1900 but is booming once again, thanks to the tourist industry. Stephen arrives just in time to experience their annual fiesta celebrating the Revolution of Pancho Villa, with donkey races highlighting the importance of the animal to both miners and revolutionaries. He is persuaded to join in the festivities with a techno tribal dance group and later heads out to the countryside to meet a local Huichol shaman. The shaman shows him the benefits of the hallucinogenic peyote cactus, although Stephen refrains from indulging. Nearing Mexico City, he takes to the skies in a hot air balloon to witness the incredible aerial view of the vast ruins of Teotihuacan, the greatest city of pre-Aztec Mexico. Celebrated archaeologist Sergio Gomez gives him a tour of the extensive excavations under the temple of the god Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. In the Xochimilco canals, built by the Aztecs to feed and water their city, Stephen learns of the Axolotl, an extraordinary species of salamander worshipped by the Aztecs. Made up of stem cells, the Axolotl have the power to regrow any part of their body. Next, a small role as a butler in a Mexican soap, gives Stephen an insight into Mexican popular culture and then smashing up a papier mache piñata, allows him to let off steam in a truly Mexican fashion An emotionally charged demonstration in the capital, protesting against the on-going drug wars which have claimed over 100,000 lives in the last eight years, and most recently the disappearance of 43 students, drives home to a visibly upset and tearful Stephen, just how many problems the country must face. Stephen says: “I can’t helped being extremely moved by this march because Mexico is a country founded in revolution but it believes in itself.” In the mountains of Michoacan, Stephen witnesses the extraordinary migration of millions of Monarch butterflies who spend the winter here, after a 3000 mile flight from North America. Doctor Pablo Jaramillo explains how the butterflies are the great-grandchildren of those which travelled here last year. The butterflies are the only multi generational migration on the planet. Stephen is moved beyond words, by one of the world’s greatest natural history phenomena. As the first part of his journey concludes, he travels to the Pacific coast and the once glamorous resort of Acapulco, where he meets cliff divers and marvels at their extraordinary bravery as they plunge 115 feet into 12 feet of water.

Explores the grit and glory in the wilds of North America, Central America and South America. Outside our concrete jungles, beyond the strip malls, and just minutes from our own backyard is another world that is thriving, fighting, and surviving.

Each hour explores some of the greatest wildlife spectacles, delicate dances, unbelievable endurance, and against-the-odds survival in episodes dedicated to the continent’s mountains, deserts, coasts, and forests.
