In this final episode of the season, we cross borders to understand how cultural and natural heritage crosses geographical boundaries and connects different peoples, histories, and ecosystems.

We will explore:

· The Talamanca Range–La Amistad Reserves / La Amistad National Park between Costa Rica and Panama, revealing how the ancestral knowledge of the Bribri, Naso, Kabeca and Nobe peoples is fundamental to the protection of this territory

· The paths of the Qhapaq Ñan, the extensive road system created by the Incas, which crosses six countries in the Andean region

· The history of the Jesuit Guarani Missions, between Brazil and Argentina, offering insight into the challenges and lessons learned from international cooperation and Indigenous protagonism in the preservation of nature and heritage

What happens to our collective memory when the places that hold it begin to disappear?

In this urgent episode, we confront the climate crisis through the lens of World Heritage sites — places that not only preserve nature and culture, but also carry the stories of who we are.

We will journey through:

· Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina, where the rapid retreat of glaciers is reshaping ecosystems and threatening the water sources of millions

· Historic Bridgetown, Barbados, where we witness the growing intensity of tropical storms and their toll on both heritage and daily life

· The forests of Mexico, for a breathtaking journey to discover the fragile and symbolic migration of monarch butterflies, now imperiled by drought and rising temperatures

These landscapes are more than scenery — they carry memory, identity, and legacy. As they fade, so too does a part of us.

In this powerful episode, we journey through places that bear witness to one of the darkest chapters in human history: the transatlantic slave trade. But this is not just a story of suffering — it’s a story of memory, strength, resistance, and the enduring fight for freedom.

We begin at Cais do Valongo in Rio de Janeiro, once the largest port of arrival for enslaved Africans in the Americas and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. From there, we travel across the region to uncover stories etched into the landscapes:

• The colonial streets of Trinidad and the Valley de los Ingenios in Cuba, where the echoes of forced labor still resonate

• The Blue and John Crow Mountains in Jamaica, a sanctuary of resistance where Maroons fought for freedom

• The National History Park – Citadel, Sans Souci, Ramiers in Haiti, a monumental symbol of the Haitian Revolution — the first successful uprising led by formerly enslaved people

These sites are more than historical landmarks — they are living testaments to courage and resilience.
