The Flight of the Condor: Down the Amazon

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A Wildlife Exploration of the Andes
Last of a three-part special World About Us.

Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, Antisana great volcanoes lift vast ice-caps into the tropical sky. Every dawn ice thaws, and the waters of the Amazon begin to roll. This programme reveals the intricate diversity and beauty of animal life along the course of the greatest river in the world as it plunges three miles vertically down through cloud, forest and gorge. It portrays in dramatic detail the complex life of the trees and rivers of the Amazon rain-forest - home of gorgeous birds and innumerable monkeys, the piranha and even a bat that catches frogs.
