Plot
The rangers from Ouwehands Dierenpark are asked to save the extremely rare De Loro butterfly population before the butterflies emerge from their cocoons and perish in the massive wildfires raging through the South American jungle. To do so, the rangers travel to South America, where they soon split into two groups. One group tries to track down the butterfly species using a map fragment. The other group hopes to complete this map by tracking down the expedition members who once discovered this rare butterfly species.
To do so, the rangers brave wild animals, runaway cows on the Argentine pampas, participate in a tango competition, speedboat race, and climb an impassable rock face to find the butterflies. Meanwhile, Moes befriends Cherpee, a jealous monkey who gives Taffie a hard time. Mike is annoyed by the stubborn Bastiaan, who has decided to film his South American adventure for his fans. Elise doesn’t go to South America with the other rangers in this film; she only occasionally sends the rangers messages from the Netherlands. Alwin and Sira experience one of the most exciting adventures.
