Episode synopsis
In this episode, the journey goes from Mexico via the Caribbean to the Panama Canal: one of the most important waterways in the world even back then, just over 10 years old. We continue across the Andes by train or ship around the continent to Rio, which was probably the most beautiful port city in the world back then.
About Around the world 100 years ago
A hundred years ago, long-distance travel became popular and a social event instead of being expeditions as before. The new feeling of wanderlust arises. The five-part series depicts a journey around the globe with previously unreleased film footage from the 1920's and 1930's, photographs by onboard photographers, and travel writer's notes.
