Synopsis

This is the story of Max Rodríguez, an unexperienced and clumsy explorer whose limited knowledge of the natural world comes from watching documentaries of his heroes Jeff Corwin and Steve Irwin.

Max, accompanied by his loyal assistant and friend, Chambimbe, decides to set out on a journey through Latin America in search of the wildest, most elusive species in the Americas.

Their mission:  To study the habits and behavior of interesting animals of many species.

The challenge:  To find the animals and document them.   Their motto: Why take the short and safe road when a long and perilous one exists?
