Title: Andes Plot: The Andes, the longest mountain range on the planet, conceals breathtaking ecosystems, unique wildlife, and fascinating cultures. In the frigid southern peaks, a mother puma and her trio of cubs embark on a hunt. Meanwhile, spectacled bears scavenge for water amid the parched mountain woodlands, while descendants of the Inca partake in an age-old ritual to craft a bridge from woven grass. High in the cloud forest, scientists are astounded by a newly identified shape-shifting frog with astonishing abilities, and in the Atacama Desert—known as the driest place on Earth—unusual reptiles contend for limited water sources. This majestic range is a realm of marvels.
