I just wanted to say thanks very much, Phil, for suggesting this. Looks good. It's now on our Netflix list.

I haven't seen Magical Andes, but I will heartily recommend Touching the Void. It's the story of two British climbers who barely survive a climb in the Andes. It includes some of the most amazing mountain-climbing photography I've ever seen.

Phil:
If your tv has an HDMI port (looks kind of like a USB port but different), and if you have a wifi router connected to your internet, then perhaps consider getting a Roku device.
With that (or another smart tv-type devices), then you can access your Netflix account, YouTube, etc., etc., through your tv, plus much more.
The only expense is for the outright purchase of the Roku device. (I think they're as cheap as about $35 or so, but I could be wrong.) There is no monthly charge.
If you also have, say, Amazon Prime, or Hulu, or other services like that, they can be watched through Roku as well.
I didn't know what Roku really did until my sister sent me an older one she wasn't using anymore. It has changed the way we watch tv altogether.

Thanks, Bob. I was hoping other people would add their recommendations. Much appreciated.

If you like looking at the Andes you might want to view this. https://archive.org/details/Nature_Flight_of_the_Condor
I think it is part of a BBC series from the 1980's but not sure if they ever released it on DVD or Video.

I liked the videography but found the narration to be trite.

I think this was the USA version, sure the original was David Attenborough.
Edit It was originally narrated by Andrew Sachs and was released on VHS.
Three award-winning films about wildlife of the Andes. 1: Ice, Wind and Fire
This condor's-eye view reveals a landscape of stunning beauty and contrast, from the remote tempestuous shores of Cape Horn and the glaciers of Tierra del Fuego - the land of fire - past the wind-lashed forests and peaks of Patagonia to a land of 2,000 volcanoes. No less remarkable are the animals, because for 70 million years South America was cut off from the rest of the world. Narrator Andrew Sachs Film cameramen

surfing Netflix out of boredom..i found what i thought was a gem...Magical Andes....the scenery and landscapes are beautiful. Lots of mountain climbing for those who indulge. I learned quite a bit about S. America.
