User blog:NeptuneID13/Could the Kids Be Going to The Andes Mountains?



User BestToHelp has uncovered the full description for the forthcoming Friendship Around The World DVD. The kids will be visiting five destinations on the DVD; one of them is the Andes Mountains.

If you remember the season 1 destination list published at the time the show premiered, the Andes Mountains aren't on there. That means that the kids will visit the Andes Mountains in season 2, or that the Andes Mountains ARE part of season 1, but PBS forgot to mention it on the destination list.

Now, for some information on the Andes Mountains. They are in South America, and are some of the world's longest mountain ranges. This mountain range is rather infamous for a plane crash that happened there in 1972 (I read a book all about it in 8th grade), and the rest of the details are too icky, so I don't recommend that you look up the 1972 Andes plane crash if you're squeamish. Anyways, it spans across Peru, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Bolivia.

Wait a minute, Qosqo, Peru IS on the destination list. Since the Andes Mountains can be found in Peru, I guess the kids will visit the mountains in one of the Peru episodes. This also means that the kids will visit the mountains in season 1, and that the episodes will air soon, since the DVD is coming out on February 18, 2020.

PBS, word your descriptions better. PLEASE.
