Argentina

Argentina makes some of the finest wines in the world, but it’s also quickly establishing itself as a technological giant in South America. The MegaWorld team will visit CONAE a civilian agency that builds and launches communication satellites for clients all over the world. We’ll get a rare, up close look at one of these huge communication devices and find out exactly what goes into manufacturing them. We’ll visit the world’s only factory that makes vintage aircraft from scratch and another firm that specializes in the manufacture and installation of artificial turf for South America’s largest football stadiums. We’ll feature the Syncrolift, a gigantic ship raising platform that can hoist a 55,000 ton ship off the ground for construction and maintenance, update the construction of new subway lines in Buenos Aires, and get up close with the world’s largest olive harvester….the Colossus.
