About this programme

6/7. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are sent to Bolivia, where they are challenged to travel through the rainforest and journey to the coast of Chile, driving second-hand off-road vehicles bought locally for a maximum of £3,500 each. Along the way, they encounter drug lords and feel the effects of altitude sickness as they negotiate the region's roads, one of which is a notoriously dangerous 40-mile mountain pass dubbed El Camino de la Muerte - the Death Road.
