"Visions of Mexico" features an international cast of travellers who have abandoned their preconceived notions to experience the beauty of Mexico’s rock climbing and culture.The journey takes you to the rocky canyons around Monterrey, Mexico City and Guadalajara, where professional and recreational climbers alike come to test their courage and strength. In between climbs, you'll catch a glimpse of Mexico's people and culture, spending time with Dona Kika in her family store at El Salto and exploring the Aztec pyramids of Teotihuacán, 25 miles from Mexico City. Narrator, Jeff Jackson, highlights the history and culture of the areas traveled from his years of experience as a climber and traveler in Mexico.

In 1986 Steve Berry led an expedition to climb the highest unclimbed peak in the world. It also happens to be the highest peak in Bhutan. Two years of laborious preparations had led up to the attempt to get the climbers on the mountain in the limited weather window between the end of the monsoons and the onset of winter. Their team almost reached the summit but they were driven off by horrendous storms. Due to the climbing restrictions in Bhutan, the mountain remains today as the highest unclimbed peak.

Professional climber Marcus Garcia travels from his home in southwest Colorado's San Juan Mountains to the limestone cliffs and spires of El Potrero Chico in northern Mexico to revisit his mentor's final climb. In an emotional and powerful act of closure, he reflects on the accident that took him a decade to talk about - and climbs the route that took his mentor's life.
