These next images are from my journey to Iguassu Falls along the border of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. The HD video footage is absolutely stunning.
After Iguassu, my sister and I flew north all the way to Sao Luis in Maranhao (Northeastern Brazil) to visit the sand dune lakes of a place called Parque Nacional dos Lençois. One of our tour guides told us that my sister and I were his first American guests in six years of giving tours in Maranhenses. It's one of Brazil's greatest seldom visited treasures!
After spending several days in this beautiful pristine area, we flew to Fortaleza to shoot footage of the famous colored sand cliffs along the coast to the south in Morro Branco. There are twelve distinct colors of sand deposits that evolve into different shapes through the erosion of wind and rain. After being born in ice and snow in episode #1, my current plans are to have the Spike story continue in an environment of water and sand.
