On this episode, we get to dine at a restaurant in the Valle de Guadalupe. But what makes this place so unique is that you can watch a polo game while eating, not to mention the flash flame dessert. Next we get to peek behind the scenes of a wildlife rescue. If you call 911 in Ensenada to report a wildlife emergency, these are the guys who come to help. Meet Ernesto and Damian from Contacto Salvaje. We get close and personal with falcons, lynx cats, snakes, turtles, and more. We learn how they actually support this effort by hiring their falcons to control pests.
