Treasures of Latin America (2x11)
: 03, 2013
Latin America, more than any other continent on the planet, is a fusion of fantastic and in many cases diverse cultures. The conquering empires of both Spain and Portugal made a huge impact on the native cultures of these lands but in the last one hundred years, the pre-Hispanic civilizations that existed here before European colonisation have re-asserted their cultural traditions.
The result is a unique mix of treasures: objects, sites, and works of art that reflect Europe’s golden age and the mysteries and beliefs of the ancient tribes that inhabited these lands. In this Bazaar special, Judith Jones visits Mendoza in Argentina and tours the wineries that have been established here.
