SYNOPSIS

Steve's journey has reached Peru in South America. Dominated by the towering Andes mountain range, it's a challenging environment where animals survive by being deadly, and Steve is on their trail. In the mountain's shadow Steve searches cactus strewn scrubland for a rare barnett's lancehead. This heat sensing ambush predator is a venomous viper with a fearsome reputation.
