The Wild Andes

Nature & Wildlife 3 x 50' 2025 4K

The Andes are the longest, youngest and most dynamic mountain range on the planet. A world of incredible variety, boasting deadly volcanoes, lush forests, huge ice fields, barren deserts, high-altitude lakes, parched grasslands, and blinding-white saltpans.   

From sea level to 6,000 meters, from the tropics to the edge of Antarctica, the mountains’ myriad habitats are home to countless different species. Near the range’s towering peaks, a mother puma teaches her cubs how to hunt, giant Andean condors come in for the kill, and a family of spectacled bears shows why they are the real masters of these mountains.

Below them, iridescent hummingbirds share the rainforest with rare woolly monkeys and a nocturnal mammal completely new to science. Tiny Marañon poison frogs raise their young in the centre of bromeliads, fleet-footed vicuña fight over their treeless plains, young torrent ducks battle against raging rivers, and one of the largest rodents in the world seems to be changing the landscape forever. 

But then change is nothing new in the Andes. As the peaks continue to rise and the many volcanoes lay waste to the land around them, change is really the only constant.

In this new 3-part series, we journey the length, breadth, and height of the Andes to reveal the incredible natural history of the longest mountain range on earth. Filmed in glossy 4K over a period of three years, using the most modern and moving camera techniques, this series is a totally unique visual experience.
