An incredible four-year, overland adventure of exploration, conservation and extreme birdwatching, from glaciers to deserts, rain forests to mountain ranges.
Early retirees Michael and Paula set off in a camper van to photograph birds in South America. They had no clear plan, no end point and no set destinations. They would travel where the wildlife led them. They were free - apart some quite from considerable baggage, both actual and emotional.
Little did they know of the dramas, beauty and friendship lay in store. Of the soaring condors and high altitude hummingbirds, the ruby red flamingos and rare owls. Nor of the healing they would find in self-reliance and total immersion in the natural world.
