Simon Reeve began his journey round the tropics in Baja California, Mexico visiting the port of Cabo San Lucas and resort workers who lived in shacks. He moved on to the mainland by ferry, arriving in Culiacan where he met the local police. He then went up into Durango state's mountains to find old western sets before heading down to Mexico City to try his hand at Mexican wrestling. He then made a stop in Havana, Cuba before continuing to the Bahamas and Long Island where he'd find lionfish that were endangering the Caribbean Sea.
