Marquis de Wavrin shot these images during a series of trips to South America between 1919 and 1922. The original documentary is lost, but thanks to reels of footage from the Royal Film Archive of Belgium’s collection, old newspaper articles describing the film in detail and pictures, a rough version of this film has been restored. It is an unedited assembly of imagery in which the original intertitles are included and gaps were filled in with new intertitles. The journey starts in Northern Argentina (the waterfalls of Iguaçu), continues all the way across Paraguay and along the Gran Chaco, concluding in Manáos (Brasil).
