The Grand Tour Colombia Special

Clarkson, Hammond, and May went to Colombia for a mission to become wildlife photographers and take pictures of wildlife in a special two-part episode of the third season of The Grand Tour, Amazon's hit car show.

The first part of the Colombian adventure began at the beach near Cartagena before dawn. Jeremy Clarkson drives an old Jeep Wrangler, James May drives an old Fiat Panda 4x4, and Hammond drives a Chevy truck. Political references included.

At the beginning, they bought some photograph equipment from the streets of Cartagena and after that, they left the city and head through the wilderness in search of a jaguar, a condor, and a hippopotamus to photograph. First off, they head to the region of Santander in search of jaguars to take some photos of. However, their goal wasn't an easy task as the beaten paths are proven to be a challenge for these machines, especially Hammond's monster truck.

After their trouble in Santander, they stopped over at Bogota to modify their cars for the second part of the special. After that, they are off to a mountainside to take photos of the Andean condor. This involves having the presenters putting up lipstick and some bait to attract the condors.

Having manage to cross through the volcanic roads with a photograph of a dead bird in sight, the boys stopped by at a village and have Jeremy ask the locals where to find hippopotamuses and thanks to some info from the local police, it's a dash to the finish point to photograph some hippos.

So, had the boys accomplished their wildlife photography adventure? On a terrible disappointment, yes. They did it, sort of, but still, what an adventure the Colombia special is.
