Episode Two

On the second leg of his journey around the Caribbean Sea, Simon Reeve visits a beautiful island and travels along the coast of South America.

On the wealthy island of Barbados, Simon meets the owner of a traditional chattel house, who has turned down offers of millions of dollars from luxury property developers, and dives the reef on a hunt for invading lionfish which are disrupting the delicate ecosystem.

On the green volcanic slopes of St Vincent, Simon meets the marijuana growers hoping, like their prime minister, that the drug will soon be decriminalised.

Next stop is Venezuela, one of the most turbulent countries in the Caribbean. Simon tries to work out how a country so rich in oil has fallen so low.

Ending his epic journey in Colombia, Simon gains rare access to the Kogi - an indigenous people who have maintained their traditional forest lifestyle in the face of an encroaching and damaging modern world.
