Description

South America is a territory of contrasts and excesses. It contains the world’s longest mountain chain, the largest rainforest, the most powerful river, the driest desert and the largest biodiversity on the planet.

This world travelled around the heart of the South Pacific for billions of years, before leaving Gondwana, a paleogeographic name for this area, to join North America and build … the Americas.
