Where to watch "Wild Peru: Andes Battleground"
2. Welcome to the Jungle
No release date yet
In south-east Peru is a region called Madre De Dios – literally, Mother of God. Its vast tropical rainforest is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. But although the landscape and wildlife here are breath-taking, it’s also a battlefield. For the jaguar and the caiman at the top of the food chain through to the giant otter and the macaw and on down to lowliest insect, there is only one certainty. Sooner or later, they will all be eaten.
1. Wild Peruvian Coast
No release date yet
Peru is a land of dramatic contrasts. Although rainforests cover more than half of this country, to the west are very different ecosystems in the shadow of the Great Andes Mountain range. Here, sun-baked coastal deserts are home to penguins and sea lions, and in the nearby foothills, spectacled bears, guanacos, tapirs and pumas, live amongst the grasslands and vegetation drip feed by the daily Pacific Ocean fogs that dominate this region.
