In South America, we'll see the tallest waterfall in the world as it tumbles off the edge of an ancient flat-topped mountain. And we'll visit the towering peaks of the world's longest mountain chain that run down the length of this continent. What other natural wonders do Central and South America hold? To find out, we'll explore a misty and magical cloud forest, a bone-dry desert, and a great river in fascinating detail.
