Season 1

Central America is a strip of land connecting two large land masses, a small region with an extraordinary natural richness. The Iberian Peninsula is the most bio-diverse region in Europe, acting as an umbilical cord between Africa and Europe. Both places are defined as "biological bridges."

When the Isthmus of Panama closed 4 million years ago, the two largest oceans of the planet were separated and massive geological events created a unique place. Discover five incredibly diverse regions within Central America and the Caribbean.

Central America is home to some of the most breathtaking animals in the world. In vast and dramatic forests, several dynamic species of animal cohabitate - from the fierce jaguar to the clever monkey.

A long, mountainous passage connects North and South America. Here, hundreds of thousands of species live in one of the richest and most diverse places on earth - the Caribbean rainforests.

At the edge of the Old World there is a peninsula connecting Europe and Africa. With warm sheltering tropics in its southern regions and a mountainous north of wet and old forests, the Iberian Peninsula contains mystery and diversity.

Life in the Iberian Peninsula is lush and varied. Learn how two opposing worlds were joined in a single territory that remained isolated by the Pyrenees Mountains. The results are a collection of forgotten places, exciting animals, and unique splendors.
