Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are dropped in the Bolivian rainforest with three unsuitable used 4x4s: a beat-up Toyota Land Cruiser (sensible), a Suzuki Jimny (cute but tiny), and a Range Rover Classic (ambitious but terrifyingly unreliable). Their mission? Drive from the Amazon jungle to the Pacific coast of Chile, crossing the high-altitude Atacama Desert and the Andes.

If you only watch one Top Gear special, most people point to the Botswana or Vietnam episodes. But the ? That’s the one where everything goes properly wrong.

10/10 Best moment: The trio’s silent, white-knuckled descent down the Death Road. Worst moment (for Jeremy): His Range Rover boiling over… again.

Here’s a review for the Top Gear Bolivia Special (Series 14, Episode 6), written as if for a blog, Amazon product page, or fan site. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) – “The Definitive Adventure Episode”
