El Salvador to Nicaragua

Stephen travels to El Salvador and Honduras, two of Central America's most dangerous countries, ridden with gangs and drug cartels. However, El Salvador also has some of the best waves in the Americas, and the presenter is soon persuaded to try his hand at surfing. Moving on to Honduras, he visits a banana plantation where new varieties are being developed and meets a woman convicted of killing and cooking six of her husbands, before stepping over the border into Nicaragua for a visit to a cigar factory and to learn how to dance the maypole.

Costa Rica to Panama

Stephen's travels continue in Costa Rica, where he encounters poison-dart frogs and falls in love with a baby sloth at a biological research station. But he soon finds there is more to the country than conservation and eco-tourism as he ascends volcanoes, descends white-water rivers and experiences the passion of a football derby in the capital of San Jose. He then crosses over into Panama for the final leg of his trip, witnessing giant leatherback turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs and learning how to dredge the canal in Panama City.
