Walking the Americas - Season 1

Explorer Levison Wood - from Walking the Nile and Walking the Himalayas - undertakes a new expedition: to walk from Mexico to Colombia. His four-month journey covers 1800 gruelling miles across eight countries and some of the most fascinating, stunningly beautiful and diverse regions on Earth, from the ancient Mayan ruins of Mexico and Guatemala, across Nicaragua's volcanic fields and along Caribbean coasts before crossing the notorious DariÚn Gap. Levison spends time with the people in the region, from those struggling with gang warfare in its most violent cities to indigenous tribes in the deep jungle. Lev films much of his expedition himself, capturing extraordinary, intimate moments rarely seen on screen and delivering television's rawest and most authentic travel series.

Levison and Alberto reach Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, partying in a unique Caribbean town, crossing stunning but treacherous mountains, and visiting one of the world's most violent cities

In Nicaragua and Costa Rica, Levison and Alberto trek through beautiful landscapes and colonial cities, climb active volcanoes and mountains, navigate deadly highways and meet fishermen and migrants

Levison explores an uncharted vampire bat-infested cave, visits the Panama Canal and modern Panama City, meets indigenous tribespeople and tackles the dangerous Darien Gap jungle.
