From the southeast of Mexico, the Sierra Madre de Chiapas crosses through Guatemala, El Salvador and part of Honduras. Bordering the Pacific coast, Central America’s major mountain range observes the Earth from volcanic peaks that rise above the clouds. When meeting the Sierra Madre, the winds exhaled by the Pacific Ocean weave a cloak of fog that sustains the cloud forests where the the solitary Margay climbs and the resplendent quetzal flies.

Sierra Madre 

Glaciers are essential for the millions of people who live in the main cities of the tropical Andes in Latinamerica. Tragically, the extinction of glaciers is irreversible. The last decade has been the warmest on the planet recorded so far. If the history of our planet lasted a day, the human species would have appeared in the last 6 seconds. Still, our ephemeral trace has altered the earth.

Cumbres

North of the Atacama desert's absolute dryness and its lands never before touched by rain lies a white desert. 10,000 years ago, Tauka gifted its waters to the sky, revealing a lakebed of salt shed by the mountains of the Andean Plateau. Drought and mountain salt forged the Salar de Uyuni: a mirror of salt where condors see their reflection and flamingos color themselves, where Andean cats find refuge and royal quinua blooms.
