In order of visiting:

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.

He then crosses the Atlantic to Western Sahara and the city of Dakhla where he tries windsurfing. He then heads to Nouadhibou, Mauritania crossing a field of land mines and then boarding the longest train in the world to Zouerat. He heads to Tindouf, Algeria over the sand dunes before flying to Tamanrasset and meeting old tour guides. The last country he visits is Libya and the town of Ghat where he heads out into the oases. He flies to Sabha where Muammar Gaddafi was born before continuing to Kufra where he sees a water project.
