Michael Palin’s latest epic journey is to often troubled but little explored Venezuela, a huge and once oil rich country that has been called the most dangerous in South America; under authoritarian rule, financially in meltdown and facing massive social challenges from this economic collapse. But it is also one of the most beautiful places in the world where visitors are few and awe-inspiring regions remain unexplored.

Season 1, Episode 01
This week, Michael lands in Caracas, which has been called the deadliest city in the world. The country is reeling from the shock re-election of Nicolás Maduro as President six months ago and Michael finds investigative reporter Ana Vanessa Herrero to hear first-hand about the country’s slide into totalitarian rule.

Season 1, Episode 02
Michael starts the second leg of his epic journey into Venezuela by flying to a stunningly beautiful cluster of coral islands in the Caribbean Sea called Los Roques. Meeting local Germán Olavarría, Michael is taken on a journey across the stunning archipelago with azure seas – it’s a hidden paradise. He sees first-hand how Venezuela’s unstable political situation has devastated the area’s tourism industry and kept the country’s beauty a secret. Most countries now tell their citizens not to travel to Venezuela as it’s so high risk, so Michael is baffled when he sees the construction of new hotels on the main island… so who is coming here?

Season 1, Episode 03
Michael Palin starts the final leg of his epic adventure across Venezuela, as he enters Zulia state. Next to the border with Colombia, it is on the UK Foreign Office no visit ‘red zone’ list and one of the most dangerous parts of the country, with a history of violence, gang warfare and a recent mass exodus of people – leaving areas like ghost cities.
