00:00Okay who's scared of heights? I am. Just the guys. Just the guys. We'll protect you, we'll protect you.
00:11Oh wow. Wow. Wow. Beautiful. This is the nut.
00:17Wait that view is crazy. I don't know what I ever imagined about Honduras but I didn't
00:32imagine this view that goes on so far. It doesn't look real does it? Marking the halfway point
00:39of the race, the third checkpoint. Valley de Angeles. Sitting at 1300 meters above sea level.
00:47It's cool altitude and fertile soil make ideal growing conditions for coffee plantations.
00:54It was in this region that the sole dinosaur fossil of Central America was discovered.
00:59The land-dwelling hadrosaur. Dylan's not feeling very well so it's a shame you can't experience this with us.
01:07It is a shame. It's neck and neck. One minute behind us. We're neck and neck.
01:12How have you guys caught up to us? I have no idea.
01:15In a shake up to the leaderboard Molly and Tyler have risen to the top.
01:20While Dylan and Jackie have clambered out of last place for the very first time.
01:25Dylan and I are shocked by us catching up. A bit nervous but we're more competitive now.
01:31I wasn't competitive at the start I suppose because I'm knowing the ropes more now.
01:36I'm feeling more confident in myself. I'm still really shocked that Harley and Roman weren't first.
01:41I was convinced they were sat their feet off. Me too.
01:43I think we were all convinced that they were way ahead of us.
01:46Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
01:50Finally we're here. Ladies. Wow. We're here.
01:53Oh my god. Better late than never eh. How are you guys?
01:57I won't lie we crashed quite hard on this one.
01:59The good thing is for us we can only go up.
02:04Oh.
02:06Here we go. Guys we've got a message. Uh oh.
02:09It is not possible for the race to continue through Nicaragua.
02:13What?
02:14Teams must fly to Liberia where the race will resume.
02:18That's not. That's not what it is.
02:20Where is that? Where is that?
02:21Lago is an African country.
02:23It's in Costa Rica isn't it?
02:25I've been reading my map.
02:27You've been reading your map.
02:28Don't worry about me.
02:29Alright well I guess we just need to get our groove on don't we?
02:32Onwards and literally upwards.
02:33Yeah.
02:34Let's go.
02:35Run Harley we're first.
02:36We're first.
02:37We're first.
02:38Hey hey that place can't take off without us.
02:40Alright.
02:41Pull a hammy mate.
02:42Go on.
02:55As permission to film in the neighbouring country of Nicaragua was not granted.
03:01Teams will resume the race just 90 kilometres away from its border.
03:06In Liberia, Costa Rica.
03:10Are you ready for a Costa Rican experience of a lifetime?
03:15I am.
03:16Yeah.
03:17With just eight minutes separating the top three teams.
03:20Alright dad.
03:21Costa Rica.
03:22Let's find a spot.
03:23Yeah.
03:24Maybe up here.
03:25They learn their next destination.
03:27Sit on our backs dad.
03:29Bagdad.
03:34Your fourth checkpoint is Bocas del Toro.
03:37Bocas del Toro.
03:39Toro.
03:40Toro.
03:41Toro is a bull isn't it?
03:42It is a bull.
03:43Yeah.
03:44Is it in Bocca your mouth?
03:45Oh look at Panama.
03:46You could kick Costa Rica.
03:47Bocas del Toro.
03:48Bocas del Toro.
03:49Panama.
03:50Panama.
03:51Where, where?
03:52There, there.
03:53Bocas del Toro.
03:54What?
03:55Is that an island?
03:56Lying 700 kilometres away in northwest Panama.
04:00An archipelago of islands in the Caribbean Sea.
04:04Bocas del Toro.
04:05Bocas del Toro.
04:08Known for its Afro-Caribbean and indigenous cultures that have blended over generations.
04:14It draws holiday makers to its pristine beaches, diverse reefs and rich rainforests.
04:21To get there, teams must pass through Costa Rica.
04:24A nation smaller than Scotland, yet home to 5% of the world's biodiversity.
04:34More than half a million species thrive across its ecosystem.
04:39With travel and living costs that rival Western Europe, this could be their most expensive leg yet.
04:49It's looking like the major cities in Costa Rica are quite well connected by roads.
04:55Mm-hm.
04:56Teams can travel inland early, needing to make multiple connections for the reward of remote adventure.
05:03Or follow the Pacific coast, where dense jungle encroaches upon popular beach towns.
05:10It offers faster transport, but a longer route to the checkpoint.
05:16Okay.
05:17So, when I think about Costa Rica, I think about the incredible wildlife.
05:20It might be quite nice to see some incredible animals.
05:23Like a jungle experience.
05:24Yeah.
05:25There's nothing else going to particularly crawl on you.
05:27Yeah.
05:28No, I don't need that.
05:29Me and nature, it's just, we don't work. It doesn't go together.
05:34But I think I fantasise over the idea of, like, being like Indiana Jones.
05:38You know, travelling the world, saving people.
05:41Ty Jones.
05:42No, I don't really have a ring to it, but still, we can work on that.
05:45We can whiz it, following the Pacific coastline.
05:48Mm-hm.
05:49And then stay somewhere in the jungle.
05:51And then just straight buzz it to the checkpoint.
05:53It's long, though.
05:54But you'd much rather be jumping on one expensive long bus from there to there
05:59than doing stop and stop along the Caribbean, trying to do connections.
06:05Seeking a wild Costa Rican adventure, the couple will follow Tyler's plan
06:09to race down the Pacific coast to Puerto Jimenez,
06:13the gateway to the untamed jungle of the Golfo Dulce.
06:17Wow, this is the hottest bus in the whole of Costa Rica.
06:21Isn't it?
06:22Like, he's got the heating on.
06:25Just seven minutes behind.
06:27OK, let's think this through.
06:29Anita and her father, Bal.
06:31I think let's go towards the Caribbean, yeah?
06:34Yeah.
06:35But away from where everybody goes.
06:36Explore the country a little bit.
06:37Yeah, definitely.
06:38And I think we should go and stay with some real people.
06:41Yeah, we haven't done anything like that.
06:42Yeah, let's get the guidebook.
06:44OK, eco-resort at Rancho Margo.
06:47Nestled just 40 minutes from La Fortuna.
06:50OK, that sounds like a plan.
06:56One minute in their wake.
06:57How are you feeling?
06:58I'm feeling good.
06:59And planning on heading in the same direction, Dylan and his mum Jackie.
07:04We haven't done the Caribbean side.
07:06I really want us to do the Caribbean side.
07:08Yeah, that'd be cool.
07:09Seeing all the turquoise sea and everything,
07:12I think that'd be so beautiful.
07:13And we haven't ever experienced wildlife in their natural environment.
07:17That's true.
07:18Except for Isle of Wight with the squirrels.
07:20Yeah.
07:21But that's not the same.
07:22I think we need to get to San Jose, the main city,
07:26and get a bus from there.
07:27San Jose today.
07:29Oh, we've got a good plan.
07:30We've got a plan.
07:31Oh, average.
07:32Oh, my bitch.
07:33I think mine and my mum's secret weapon will be kind of like our under-the-radar dark-horseness.
07:39They'll probably think we're not a threat, but we'll surprise people.
07:44Let's get out of here.
07:45There we go.
07:46Two changes.
07:47Yeah, two changes.
07:48Three buses.
07:49Three changes they said.
07:50That's okay.
07:51That's fine.
07:52But this is the bus going to...
07:53Muchas gracias. There we go.
07:55Two changes.
07:56Yeah, two changes.
07:57Three buses.
07:59Three changes, they say.
08:00That's OK. That's fine.
08:01But this is the bus going to Kanya.
08:03All right. OK.
08:05As I go older, I think my stamina levels
08:07are going to be a challenge.
08:09Oh, is it back all right, Dad?
08:10Yeah, yeah. It's just straightening up.
08:12You've never said you were tired, ever.
08:15We'll keep an eye on you, though.
08:17Keep him in brown sauce and instant coffee.
08:21Are you calm?
08:23Yeah, I am.
08:23Good.
08:25Anita and Bal begin their multiple bus journeys
08:28through the disconnected highlands,
08:30aiming for an eco-resort in El Castillo.
08:33Hopefully all going to plan.
08:35Fingers crossed.
08:35Yeah, fingers crossed.
08:38I may have a question for you.
08:41You're looking to go to Tortuguero?
08:43Tortuguero, yeah.
08:44Yeah.
08:46Dylan and Jackie are also heading inland,
08:49but utilising the capital of San Jose instead.
08:52to get to the Caribbean coast.
08:55I need to get my glasses on.
08:57Let me show it.
08:57Just wait.
08:58Show my age.
09:01You have to go to the Terminal del Caribe in San Jose.
09:06And go to La Pavona.
09:08That's where you get the boat to go to Tortuguero.
09:11Okay, La Pavona.
09:13When I was young, I was put a year behind at school.
09:19I remember feeling not particularly bright.
09:22And that definitely knocked my confidence.
09:27You will see alligator.
09:30Really?
09:30Oh my gosh.
09:32That's going to be amazing.
09:33I think that's set me back in life and maybe I should have and could have achieved more.
09:41Really appreciate all your help.
09:43It wasn't me.
09:44It was a...
09:44Yeah, you take the stress away.
09:47Pushing myself now.
09:48It's not too late to do it.
09:50Well done.
09:51You've got a lot of info there.
09:52And I've even got the prices as well.
09:54Damn.
09:55It's so expensive.
10:00I don't even want to talk about how far ahead I think the others are.
10:04Where are we going?
10:05Last to resume their race.
10:07They're just all so far ahead of us.
10:08It makes me feel sick.
10:10Seven hours behind, siblings Roman and Harley Moon.
10:14We're in Costa Rica.
10:16It's going to be expensive everywhere.
10:17So we're going to have to make some good money twice and move.
10:22Look, we're last.
10:23Yeah.
10:25Tamarindo is the safe bet.
10:26It is near.
10:27We could get there tonight and start early.
10:30And the pay is good.
10:31And then we'd be free to move.
10:33Yeah.
10:33Get to San Jose and then we just peg it the rest of the way.
10:37Yeah.
10:37Let's do that then.
10:38Yeah.
10:38Let's do it.
10:39We need a ride to Tamarindo, bro.
10:41Let's see if we can hitchhike our way.
10:44God, I hope this works.
10:46This leg is just strategy.
10:48We want to make some money, move as quick as we can.
10:51Harley, get your sign out.
10:53Yeah.
10:54I did see some good-looking surfers going to Tamarindo.
10:59So hopefully one will pick me up.
11:04Hola, señor.
11:06No se.
11:07OK, no problem.
11:08Muchas gracias.
11:09OK, he doesn't know.
11:11Having travelled 70 kilometres on a succession of buses,
11:14Anita and Baal are yet to find an onward connection to the eco-resort.
11:20Hola, señor.
11:21La fortuna?
11:22No.
11:23No?
11:23OK.
11:25No.
11:27We can...
11:28A taxi negotiate.
11:30I don't think it's worth it.
11:31It'll blow out daily budget completely.
11:34Do you want to hitchhike?
11:36What are you thinking, Dad?
11:38You look worried.
11:40Dad.
11:40Yeah, yeah.
11:41Why are you worried?
11:42I don't know.
11:43I don't know.
11:43I'm just a bit tired, Dad.
11:45Me too, Mom.
11:48Oh!
11:49Wow.
11:51Today I'm feeling really weak.
11:53Yeah, are you feeling weak today?
11:54I'm done nothing.
11:55I feel so helpless today.
11:58Do you ever think about your dad's mortality?
12:02No.
12:03Never.
12:03My parents are invincible.
12:06They're immortal.
12:08Are you holding me up, aren't you, sir?
12:10As if.
12:11No, we're a team.
12:12I've not really considered it, because in my mind, he's Mr. Youthful and energetic.
12:19And we'll get us there, Dad.
12:21Don't worry.
12:22I'll do the talking.
12:24Please.
12:25Somebody, anybody.
12:27Growing up, I was always everyone's helper.
12:31He's trying so hard, Anita.
12:34If my mom wanted me to help her in the kitchen, I would do that.
12:37If my dad needed me to help him change a tire, I would do that.
12:41Definitely got eldest daughter syndrome, you know?
12:44No, it's...
12:47Are they all taxis?
12:48They stopped.
12:50Yeah.
12:53Hola.
12:54Hablo inglés.
12:55Where are you going?
12:56El Castillo.
12:57We want to try and get to a ranch.
12:58Rancho Margo.
13:00Well, let's go.
13:00Let's try to do something.
13:01Let's go.
13:02Yeah?
13:04Yes!
13:05Yes!
13:06Brilliant.
13:07Woo-hoo!
13:09Well done.
13:10Well done.
13:10I'm so proud of you.
13:12You're such kind people.
13:15I can't believe it.
13:16Thank you so much.
13:18I cannot thank you enough.
13:20How are you feeling?
13:21Proud of you.
13:25Are you all right, Dad?
13:26Yeah, yeah.
13:32You're going to make me cry.
13:37Sunglasses on.
13:38Sunglasses on.
13:38Why?
13:39Dad is emotional.
13:40My daughter, she works so hard, you know?
13:45It makes me really proud of her.
13:48It's all right.
13:48We're getting that.
13:49Yeah.
13:50Yeah, we're all right.
13:51We're all right.
13:53Anita, she's very caring and very thoughtful.
14:00She'll put other people before herself.
14:04There's no ifs and buts with that.
14:10Thank you so much.
14:11We can't thank you enough.
14:12Don't worry.
14:13You're going to get to rest this evening, Dad.
14:14I can see it's been a tiring one today, hasn't it?
14:18A beautiful place.
14:20After a seven-hour journey covering only 130 kilometres,
14:25Anita and Bal have finally reached El Castillo.
14:28Oh, my God.
14:30Look at this.
14:31Dad!
14:31This is indescribable.
14:34Whoa!
14:37This is amazing.
14:38There you go.
14:41It's worth it now.
14:42I'm not kidding.
14:43It's amazing.
14:45Well done, Anita.
14:46Thanks, Dad.
14:47Thanks for carrying me today, honestly.
14:49I really appreciate it for you carrying me now.
14:50Oh.
14:56It's all right.
14:57I'm happy to carry you.
14:59Come on, old man.
15:01Come on.
15:02Tomorrow we need to rest because you will be...
15:03He might have us mucking out.
15:05Let me get out of this.
15:07Get out of the other side when you pull me out.
15:09Hang on.
15:11How am I going to get out of this?
15:13There must be a technique to this.
15:23I've never really seen my dad cry.
15:25He's really revealing a lot more of himself with me.
15:31Today is the first day on this whole trip where he's looked worried and tired.
15:37But I guess the reality is he's 68.
15:39I only put it down once.
16:01So, I forgot that you can't put toilet roll down the toilet and the water has risen a lot.
16:10So, Tyler's currently plunging it.
16:12Thanks, Ty.
16:13I love you.
16:15I love you.
16:16We missed the first bus out of here because he put toilet roll down the toilet and I've had to plunge it.
16:21So, that's a new low.
16:22Yeah.
16:22It's not my best work.
16:23Sorry.
16:23As the only team opting to travel along the Pacific coast, Molly and Tyler have spent the night in the beach town of Haco and now plan to continue their 270-kilometre journey to Puerto Jimenez.
16:40Right.
16:41We'll go again.
16:44230 kilometres northwest.
16:46Your hair's getting thicker in the humidity.
16:50It's got an Ace Ventura.
16:52Yeah.
16:53It's a look with the moustache.
16:56I just don't think I care enough.
16:58Like you said this morning, have a shower.
17:00No, don't care.
17:01No, but that was for the benefit of all of us.
17:03I gave myself a sponge bath.
17:05Before cutting inland, Roman and Harley Moon are stopping early to work.
17:11I never thought I'd be knitting monkey bridges.
17:13They're joining local conservationists, Andres and Albert, who build canopy bridges by hand to help monkeys move safely from traffic, power lines and growing urbanisation.
17:26What type of monkeys will we use in our bridges?
17:28Los monos abulladores.
17:30How are monkeys?
17:32How do you sleep?
17:34Es más agradable escuchar el ruido de los animales y no de los carros.
17:41We'll help you.
17:42Sí.
17:43Este hilo.
17:44Vamos a hacer uno más.
17:46Continuamos aquí.
17:49Albert's got way more skill than me.
17:51¿Quieres hacerlo?
17:51Sí, sí.
17:53Yo te ayudo.
17:54No te preocupes.
17:55How are you getting on?
17:57Sometimes I feel like I'm doing a good job, and then sometimes I think this looks terrible.
18:02I've always been driven.
18:04I started working at quite a young age.
18:07The goal has always been to find a job that you're passionate about and give it everything.
18:12It's amazing how much care it takes.
18:15It's amazing how much care it takes.
18:15If he hasn't guessed, we don't work in DIY.
18:18I'm really happy in my work life, working on my business, directing commercials for brands.
18:30I love spinning plates and love being overloaded.
18:34It is a lifestyle commitment.
18:40Maybe that's why I'm still single.
18:41Love is something I'm looking for, however, I don't want a relationship to defy my happiness.
18:52Harley is such a hard worker.
18:54I always feel like one of the reasons why we never really talk when we're at home is because she's always working.
18:59She's always pushing to make herself happy through work, but there's a massive part of me that just wants her to have someone that can give her that happiness without her having to do anything.
19:29Just for, like, one night a week, the other person is there just to tell her, I love you and I want to do something for you, because I really think she deserves it.
19:41We've done quite good, I think.
19:43I quite like this job.
19:45Okay.
19:45Elba is a patient man.
19:52It's fantastic work that you've been doing.
19:54Quite literally holding up all the monkeys.
19:57Yeah.
19:57One man holding all the monkeys.
20:00Yeah.
20:00Yeah.
20:02There is one thing that I would like to ask.
20:04Is there any way we could get a ride?
20:06Of course.
20:07Oh, thank you so much, my man.
20:08Yeah, of course.
20:10That money is going to be key in terms of taxis or anything else like that.
20:15Thank you so much.
20:16Of course.
20:17We are getting a ride back towards the bus station.
20:20There is a possibility to get into San Jose tonight, however, it might be late.
20:24One of my best friends moved out here to Nassara.
20:28Oh, Nassara, really?
20:29I can totally see why Costa Rica draws so many people in there.
20:32Yeah.
20:33Are you married?
20:34Do you have a partner or?
20:35No.
20:36No?
20:36Single.
20:37Single?
20:37No kids.
20:38No kids.
20:39I think with my lifestyle and how much I like to travel and do things, that there's no way.
20:44Sounds like you, huh?
20:45Yeah, no, I understand that completely, I think.
20:48I'm 35.
20:49I don't really know where life is going, and I'm okay with that, and I just love, I have
20:53a happy life, and I do stuff I like.
20:56Andres, would you want your own kids?
20:58It sounds super selfish, but I don't think so.
21:02I'm the complete opposite.
21:04He's ready.
21:05I'm ready to have kids now.
21:07To me, life is about have kids and have the family and try and bring them up the same
21:14way that my sister and I were brought up.
21:16I didn't really know I could love two humans so much.
21:21That's how I felt yesterday with my two nephews.
21:24They call me Tio Andy, and I'm like, oh my God, I haven't been, I've never been called
21:28an uncle before, like, and I was like, I, even right now, it's hard to express with
21:34words, so, yeah.
21:35Oh, that's lovely.
21:36Thank you, yeah, it was really.
21:41Uh-oh.
21:43We have a flat.
21:46What?
21:47Sadly, I'm speaking the truth.
21:53This is madness.
21:54Yeah.
21:56What could possibly go wrong next?
21:58I can't believe it.
22:02I can't believe it.
22:02You have to laugh at times.
22:04Do you have a spare tire?
22:05Yeah.
22:06Okay, we can help you.
22:08I did not see that coming.
22:10I've never changed a tire before.
22:12No idea what I'm doing.
22:20Wow.
22:20It's a busy waterway.
22:23I've been to Venice on the canals, but that's a bit different to this.
22:25The first team to make it to the Caribbean coast, Dylan and Jackie have reached one of
22:33the country's most popular national parks.
22:37Known as the Little Amazon of Costa Rica and named after the turtles that nest here each
22:42year, these wetlands are home to over 400 breeds of birds and countless species, from the threatened
22:50birds tapir to the tropical gar.
22:52We've seen some amazing birds.
22:55I'm looking out for an odd alligator, Dylan.
22:59Oh, yeah.
23:00I haven't seen one yet.
23:04Costa Rica is, I think it's my favourite so far.
23:08It's beautiful to look at.
23:11Alligators.
23:11Alligators.
23:12Oh, wow.
23:13Oh, wow.
23:14Gosh.
23:16They're so still, aren't they?
23:21It's quite magical.
23:24This is definitely worth the money.
23:26Do you think, Dylan?
23:27I know you like to be tight with your money.
23:28Yeah, all right.
23:29Well, we're not having to change buses and things, are we?
23:31Yeah, but I'm really feeling the cost of Costa Rica.
23:35Oh, wow.
23:36That makes me feel to borrow maybe.
23:37Looks like it might be it, do you think?
23:38Mm-hmm.
23:40We have arrived.
23:41A hostel?
23:42$50.
23:43We'll go cheap on other nights.
23:44My husband will have a shock to see the way I am now, staying in a backpackers hotel.
23:59I've never done that before.
24:00It's funny, I feel a sense of lightness about me now.
24:08I'm not creating problems so much in my mind.
24:13Maybe I have changed quite a bit.
24:17Hi there.
24:18Do you speak English?
24:19So, so.
24:20Have you got any recommendations or things to do around here?
24:23Yesterday we had a night tour.
24:25You can see animals and different plants.
24:29Oh, wow.
24:30Yes.
24:31Yes.
24:32That's cool.
24:33And how much was that?
24:34$55.
24:35Okay.
24:36Each or all together?
24:38Each.
24:39Each.
24:40Yeah.
24:41Okay.
24:42Yeah.
24:43A bit worried about money.
24:44We spent a lot on travel to get here and we got to just focus on racing and saving money.
24:51Finishing third.
24:52We had like a taste of joy.
24:54I want to get more of that.
24:57Finish higher.
24:58My head's fried.
24:59I don't know what the hell to think.
25:01Look at this, Donald.
25:02What's that?
25:03There's a bird out there.
25:04Oh.
25:05It's amazing seeing all the wildlife on the boat journey.
25:10And we may not come here again in our lives, so we should grasp these opportunities.
25:15I just hope we've got enough money to keep the race going at the end.
25:19That's my only thought.
25:20But the thing is, life's too short, and if there's something just down here that we
25:24can see in the evening, we should see it.
25:27Yeah.
25:28Yeah, you're right.
25:29Okay.
25:30I think we would regret it.
25:31Let's do it.
25:33238 kilometres away in El Castillo.
25:37Ready to work.
25:38Absolutely.
25:39Yeah, look.
25:40We've got our wellies on.
25:41Anita and Val are working for eco-resort owner Juan.
25:45Look at this place.
25:46It's a paradise.
25:48Tucked into the rainforest slopes below Arenal Volcano, this off-grid paradise was elected
25:55as one of the most sustainable destinations in Costa Rica.
25:58Oh, veggie garden.
26:00It's a bit different to your veg patch, Dad, but inspiration.
26:04The idea is obviously to produce what we consume as much as we can.
26:09Oh, this is beautiful.
26:15You love gardening now, don't you, Dad?
26:17Yeah.
26:18The pleasure you get and the taste of this will taste ten times better than the supermarket.
26:24This is very therapeutic, isn't it?
26:26After a day like yesterday.
26:27Oh.
26:28It was funny because I could see that you were emotional.
26:32I could see your energy was different.
26:34I just felt like, how the hell are we going to get to this point?
26:38We got here.
26:39We did.
26:40And that was a great feeling.
26:41That's why I think it got emotional that it got us here.
26:44I think it was more than that.
26:46Oh.
26:47I don't know.
26:48Just something.
26:49What I felt was, I'm a father and father all my life.
26:52I think my job is to actually provide, lead and make sure you're safe, do everything.
26:58And yesterday I felt I wasn't able to help you.
27:02I just felt almost like I'm doing nothing to help my daughter.
27:05I don't think that's about me.
27:07I think that's about something in yourself.
27:09That's in myself.
27:10Because all my life I've never asked for help from anybody.
27:14Yeah.
27:15I try and do it all myself.
27:16Suddenly realising, maybe sometimes I do need help myself.
27:20And yesterday...
27:21You got quite emotional.
27:23Yeah.
27:27I have never, ever, ever been emotional with anything.
27:31And that was quite a surprise.
27:34I felt good.
27:36A little bit of, a bit lighter.
27:39And more myself.
27:42Maybe this journey is actually, it's about myself.
27:46And express a little bit more what's inside me.
27:50Yesterday was the maddest day.
27:53Yeah.
27:54But it's in these moments that you find out what you're capable of.
27:57My mind keeps thinking I'm there, but my body says no.
28:00But we are loving it.
28:01I tell you, I won't forget this.
28:03Yeah.
28:07Thank you, Hans.
28:08Oh, thank you.
28:09Honestly, we have such a fantastic time here.
28:11I wonder if you could give us a little ride up.
28:14Could we give us?
28:15Absolutely beautiful.
28:16Oh, my God.
28:17Oh, God.
28:20Right, let's do it.
28:21What we need to know now is how we get to the Caribbean coast.
28:28After a one-hour delay and finally leaving the Pacific...
28:32Thank you so much.
28:33You've been so kind to us.
28:34You're very welcome.
28:35Really appreciate that.
28:36Por vida.
28:37Siblings Roman and Harley Moon are hoping to travel straight to San Jose.
28:42San Jose.
28:436pm.
28:44We've missed it.
28:45Is that a bus to San Jose?
28:46No.
28:47Yes.
28:48At 7pm.
28:49Okay.
28:509,800.
28:51Yeah, we're doing it.
28:52Got sick when you said that.
28:53We'll get there tonight.
28:54Oh, God.
28:55I'm shaking, man.
28:56I'm just hoping for some luck.
28:57After a nine-hour journey to Puerto Jimenez, Molly and Tyler are now the closest team to Panama.
29:05My eyes are just so wide, like I'm ready for anything to jump out on me.
29:21Are you Jim?
29:22How are you doing?
29:23Good, thank you.
29:24Please come in.
29:25Spending the night at the home of local environmentalist, Jim.
29:30This is so cool.
29:31We've only got one question.
29:32Yes.
29:33Is that a scorpion?
29:34Yes, it is.
29:35Woo!
29:36Yeah, I want to let you know that we found this right next to your bed that you guys are
29:39going to sleep.
29:40Yeah, this is what we get inside of this house.
29:41Oh, my God.
29:42So, let me show you where is your room.
29:43It's inside of a really magical tree.
29:44Okay.
29:45Follow me.
29:46Awesome.
29:47Let's go.
29:48All right.
29:49Hold on.
29:50T-cell be right there.
29:51Right.
29:52Good to go.
29:53Get ready.
29:54All right.
29:55Let's go.
29:56All right.
29:57Hold on.
29:58T-cell be right there.
29:59Right.
30:00Good to go.
30:01Get ready.
30:02The idea of me being out in the wilderness, in the middle of nowhere.
30:06Do you want a head torch?
30:07I feel that will probably be the toughest part for me.
30:10I've got all the gadgets for camping, but you will not see me in a tent.
30:16I've dropped my torch in there.
30:17Oh, my days.
30:18What are you looking at?
30:19The spider.
30:20I've got so many torches.
30:21I've got, like, 16 LED ones.
30:22I've got an underwater torch, like, little FBI ones, and, like, little pen ones as well.
30:33I will never get lost in the dark.
30:35Wow.
30:36Oh.
30:37It's an actual tree house.
30:38This is mad.
30:39Welcome home.
30:40Okay, now I'm really excited.
30:41Bye-bye.
30:42Wow.
30:43I feel like I'm actually going to like it in a weird way.
30:48Yeah, I don't know how much I'm on the same page as you right now.
30:49Oh, but are you actually still not feeling it?
30:50I'm a bit shook, yeah.
30:51My man's got a scorpion on his dining table.
30:52That's very true.
30:53What's that about?
30:54Do you see what I'm saying?
30:55Yeah.
30:56If it was caught in this tree house, I don't really want to catch another one tonight.
31:09When I thought about coming to the jungle, I thought, ah, cute wildlife animals.
31:13Now, it's dawned on me that I'm surrounded by a million bugs.
31:18I mean, some people call them irrational fears.
31:22They're more scared of you than you are of it.
31:24Well, of course you're going to say that because you're not scared of spiders.
31:27I think I'm going to need to go and get some duct tape or another mosquito net or something
31:32because, I mean, let's be honest, I can get through that.
31:36This is...
31:37Oh, God.
31:39I'm in the tree house.
31:43So, right here, there's going to be a green vine snake.
31:51See the beautiful pointy face?
31:53Oh, yeah.
31:54Isn't that going to harm us whatsoever?
31:56Wow.
31:57Wow.
31:59As one team tries to steer clear of the wildlife, another has opted to meet it up close.
32:06I'd never come along here on my own, would you?
32:08No.
32:09Scary.
32:10With over 60% of Costa Rica's wildlife being nocturnal, the region boasts a hidden world
32:16that comes alive after dark.
32:18There are several types of frogs in Costa Rica, but this one...
32:24Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:25The red-eyed tree frog.
32:27I must say that it makes us very proud to have it.
32:30Yeah, yeah.
32:31This one has seven different colors.
32:33So, to us, it's basically representing our seven provinces in Costa Rica.
32:39We found a slut.
32:40No way.
32:41Oh, my gosh.
32:42It's huge.
32:43Can you not see that?
32:44Wow.
32:45Tonight in the jungle felt like a nice dream, really.
32:46So magical and, like, yells in awe of everything.
32:48It's amazing how he's, like, facing down below.
32:49Do you know what I mean?
32:50That's right, yeah.
32:51I think this has been our best day.
32:53Yeah.
32:54I'm so happy we got to do it at the end.
32:55We've seen so many animals today, like, today as a whole.
33:17of course today like today as a whole i think my natural instinct in the past is to maybe protect
33:24him i've never really thought about this but um maybe i have overset the mark in protecting him
33:31too much i feel and maybe that's what's caused his cautiousness in life i'm actually really
33:42glad you did this yeah it was worth it i was too focused on the money hopefully this experience
33:49opens dylan's eyes up to live in the moment what a night hey yeah what a day
34:00amazing
34:03i thank god that dylan has had this opportunity and invited me
34:07i don't think i would have done it i would not have pushed myself out of my comfort zone
34:14at all um which is quite sad really
34:24because i i've had the most amazing experience it's amazing
34:37i don't think i would have to do it
34:47san jose
34:50guarded by a trio of active volcanoes the central american capital was without street names until
34:562012. when directions were given using only landmarks
35:01buenos días
35:19sticking to roman's plan the siblings are working for a second time this leg
35:24at a local senior community centre.
35:29You can see them laughing at me.
35:33Costa Rica has one of the fastest ageing populations in Latin America,
35:38home to one of the world's blue zones,
35:41where the proportion of centenarians
35:42is over three times higher than the global average.
35:46When we walked in, I nearly cried because they all started clapping.
35:51Oh, I'm really all emotional.
35:52It's just an overwhelming feeling of kindness
35:57that people want to look after each other when they're older.
36:01I mean, maybe one day it'll be us.
36:04So I want to give them the cleanest arm windows they've ever seen.
36:07Es muy tranquilo.
36:12I think about my own mortality quite a lot.
36:15Gloves are a bit small.
36:18Because life for me is about creating a new family.
36:22I always worry about what the future looks like.
36:25Raphaelita, en Francais, bon appétit.
36:30Una más, danse.
36:32It's happy here.
36:34Who are los niños?
36:37Tú?
36:38Niños?
36:40No, yo a grandes.
36:41No, grandes.
36:42¿Y yo?
36:44Menos niños.
36:46No, but happy.
36:48Roman loves to see the vision of where his life's going and how it will play out.
36:59And I don't think I have that feeling.
37:04Dancing.
37:05Yeah, dancing.
37:07Yeah.
37:07Yeah.
37:07I don't have any expectations of what my life should look like.
37:17Yeah.
37:17Yeah.
37:18Yeah, we dance.
37:20She teach me.
37:22Come on, Ray.
37:26Woo!
37:27I just always think, what if this bit right now is the best my life will ever be?
37:46I hope us spending time together maybe allows him to keep in the present sometimes too.
38:02Gracias.
38:03Adios.
38:04Adios.
38:05Adios.
38:06Oh, I'm sad to leave.
38:07Oh, I'm sad to leave.
38:08Yeah.
38:09Now we're at the bus station.
38:10Back to being fed with red.
38:11Hi.
38:12Sizaola.
38:13Come on.
38:14Come on.
38:15Hola.
38:16It's frontera.
38:17Sizaola.
38:18Hi.
38:19Hi.
38:20Hi.
38:21Hi.
38:22Hi.
38:23Hi.
38:24Hi.
38:25Hi.
38:26Hi.
38:27Hi.
38:28What if we go to Limon and just get a taxi?
38:29Yeah, maybe.
38:30Yeah.
38:31Because really, we just want to get close as possible in the morning.
38:35Having missed the direct bus to the border town of Sizaola, Harley Moon plans to head
38:44to Limon to keep moving.
38:45Yeah, maybe.
38:46Yeah.
38:47Because really, we just want to get close as possible in the morning.
38:51Having missed the direct bus to the border town of Sizaola, Harley Moon plans to head
38:56to Limon to keep moving.
38:59Is there a bus to Limon?
39:01Seven blocks there.
39:02Down that way.
39:03Oh, that's taxi.
39:04Yeah.
39:05All right.
39:06Good job.
39:07Keep it positive.
39:08Keep it going.
39:09It's a small blip.
39:10If we lose this leg by some distance, it's because of that moment right there.
39:24Got it.
39:26I can see a bus.
39:27Ah.
39:28Hola.
39:29Pero Limon.
39:30Gracias.
39:31So, dos boletos por favor.
39:32Okay, well, ha.
39:33Look, we get to Limon.
39:34Yeah.
39:35Hello.
39:36But, Limón?
39:38Thank you. So, dos boletos, por favor.
39:41OK, well, ha, look, we get to Limón.
39:43Yeah.
39:44Oh, yeah.
39:46It was balls, boobies, always.
39:53What's just happened in the last 15 minutes
39:56pretty much sums up a lot of this race.
39:59You know, we're already last, we're already behind.
40:01That was a moment to get us right on track.
40:05And now it's down to us to start spending that cheddar.
40:11If there's a moment where we need a taxi, bang, let's do it.
40:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:15That's what we put in a good shift for.
40:16Yeah. We've got to do it.
40:19Maybe I'm due for a kiss on the lips,
40:20but let me tell you, it'll be shortly followed by a kick in the nuts.
40:24I'm sure some of the older ladies would give you a kiss.
40:26I'll take it right now.
40:28Also en route to Limón...
40:31This is definitely the way to travel instead of bus.
40:34Dylan and Jackie are moving quickly on an 80-kilometre journey,
40:37having paid a premium to travel by boat.
40:40It costs a lot more money, but I think it's worth it.
40:46It's beautiful.
40:47I wonder whether we'll see another alligator.
40:49I feel like I've seen some, but I think there might be logs.
40:53Let's find a direct, non-stop.
40:56I'll try my broken Spanish and see where we get.
40:59135 kilometres away,
41:01Anita and Bal are still navigating a disconnected journey
41:05through central Costa Rica by bus.
41:07There are no direct buses to the border.
41:12OK.
41:13However, there's a bus from here at 4.30 that gets to Limón by 6.30,
41:18and it's direct.
41:19Lemon, let's get to there, then.
41:22Door stickers, please, for Lemon.
41:25Will you take dollars?
41:26No.
41:27Sorry, we only have dollars.
41:29I can give you dollars?
41:30No.
41:32OK.
41:33Lonely.
41:34She won't take dollars.
41:35So...
41:36OK, you have to go to the bank, Dad.
41:37I'll come back.
41:38I'll come back.
41:39Go to the banco.
41:40OK.
41:41OK, come on, Dad.
41:42You need to get your scapes on.
41:43You need to speedy Gonzales into the bank.
41:44Go.
41:45Go, go, go.
41:46Please, Dad.
41:47It's fine.
41:48Huh.
41:49Girls.
41:50¿Dónde está el banco?
41:51El banco.
41:52Bajando.
41:53Bajando.
41:54Bajando.
41:55OK.
41:56OK.
41:57Just down there.
42:00I'm actually just sitting here thinking,
42:01should I have gone?
42:03Should I have gone?
42:04Because I could have just run.
42:06And run back.
42:11Bank's over.
42:14Why did I just send him off like that?
42:20He doesn't even speak Spanish.
42:23We're under a lot of time pressure.
42:25But no-one knows about time pressure more than my dad.
42:28He knows he has to be back here.
42:30I was born in India.
42:31I was only four years old when I came to England.
42:36Even if he has to get money changed at one of the...
42:38Why didn't we just get money changed at one of these shops?
42:43Oh, my God!
42:45I'm going to Panama.
42:46So we're going to Lemon.
42:47Then Lemon to the border.
42:52I can't see him.
42:54This is really stressful.
42:56Like, really stressful.
42:59We've got 15 minutes.
43:02I'm going to see if I can cause a disruption
43:04and make the bus fight.
43:05And, like, beg and plead.
43:10That's our bus.
43:12Oh, God.
43:13This is a nightmare.
43:14El banco.
43:16So, para dos tickets?
43:18Si.
43:20Yeah, I know.
43:21But he...
43:22Yeah, it's okay.
43:23He'll be here.
43:25I need my dad back here.
43:31Hey, man.
43:37No way!
43:38Yes, Dad!
43:40Yes!
43:41Yes.
43:42Did you get some change?
43:43Yes.
43:45Oh, well done, Dad.
43:49I was so worried.
43:51I was, like, having a proper moment.
43:54Little things are looking up again, Dad.
43:55And relax.
43:57Oh!
43:58Do you better?
43:59Yeah.
44:00No problemo.
44:05Are we going to plant a tree?
44:07Great.
44:09Molly and Tyler are still deep in the jungle of Puerto Jimenez,
44:13working off last night's stay
44:15by helping host Jim with forest conservation.
44:19Whoa!
44:20What?
44:21Something just...
44:22I don't know what it was.
44:23Sorry.
44:24We're good, we're good, we're good.
44:26Oh, just touched a millipede!
44:29Oh!
44:33I'm having a breakdown.
44:34But it's fine.
44:35All right?
44:36It's fine.
44:37I think you're doing a great job.
44:38I didn't know this would be...
44:40like, this much outside of my comfort zone.
44:43Mm-hmm.
44:44I always like to be in control of things
44:45or know what I'm getting myself into.
44:47Why do you think you do need to be in control all the time?
44:52If I can control it, I feel like I can then look after
44:54the situation the best I possibly can.
44:56Yeah.
44:57When I compare it to when I was a teenager,
45:00it was on another level.
45:01I was absolutely, like, petrified of witnessing something
45:05that was completely out of my control.
45:08And all I wanted to do was put a stop to it.
45:11You feel helpless.
45:13And I just don't want to feel that ever in my life again.
45:16I was coming home from school one day and there was, like, these three men
45:25having an argument outside my house.
45:28One of the two men throw a really weak punch to the man that was on his own.
45:33And then one of the men had a 12-inch kitchen knife in his hand.
45:40All of a sudden, it was, like, me standing there at my bedroom window at 14
45:46and just seeing this man get, like, stabbed to death.
45:53It was one of the most horrific moments of my life.
45:57I just remember being there at the Old Bailey,
45:59just being petrified of so many factors.
46:01Like, will these people, like, be able to see me?
46:03Will they know that I'm testifying?
46:06And I just didn't really know how to process it.
46:09And it had such a knock-on effect to my mental health.
46:11I was indoors for, like, two years.
46:16It matured me really quick.
46:19And it...
46:21I guess, sort of...
46:23Oh, shit, sorry.
46:29It was just really hard.
46:33I mean, for the last 14 years, I've been...
46:36proper...
46:38trying to...
46:40embrace that control,
46:42because it's, like, a comfort blanket for me.
46:44Mm-hm.
46:45And I think the reason why now it's so important for me
46:47to, like, continually...
46:49Be the protector.
46:50Be the protector.
46:51It's almost like it had the reverse effect.
46:52I'm like, okay, well,
46:53I don't want anybody else to be hurt now.
46:56I always feel that you're, like, protective of me.
46:59And, like, this is the first time in a long time
47:02where you've had no idea
47:05of what you're putting yourself into.
47:08I never once imagined travelling to this side of the world.
47:12And I think that's one of the things at the start of this
47:14I struggled with,
47:16because being in a vulnerable position
47:17is not one that I want to be in.
47:19Mm-hm.
47:20I was so scared.
47:22That 14-year-old...
47:24would never believe that you'd be doing this.
47:27Yeah, for real.
47:29I am proud of you.
47:32I feel like this is definite fear-facing territory right now.
47:36Yeah.
47:37It's special that I get to do it with you.
47:42That's our legacy right there.
47:45That's our little...
47:46We're gonna come back.
47:47What was that?
47:48Why are you scaring me like that?
47:49The rainforest is legacy.
47:51Thank you, guys, for coming.
47:54Thank you very much, Jim.
47:55We appreciate you.
47:56Onwards.
47:58Onwards.
47:59Go forth, Tyler.
48:04Now, there's only two ways out of here.
48:06Either a taxi, which would be very expensive,
48:08or a boat.
48:10But Jim said the last boat has left.
48:15To leave Puerto Jimenez,
48:17the quickest way to Panama is via Golfito,
48:20but boat crossings finish by 5pm.
48:23Yeah.
48:25We're gonna set up shop.
48:26Yeah.
48:27And then grab the first boat out of here in the morning.
48:29Yeah.
48:32We're absolutely exhausted,
48:33and we might as well just stay here.
48:34It's not far.
48:35It's only about 40 minutes.
48:36Yeah.
48:38With the Caribbean border now shut for the day,
48:41Dylan and Jackie are choosing to bed down in Kawita.
48:44Uno room.
48:45Get it down to 50.
48:47Okay.
48:48Oh, cool, cool, cool.
48:49Gracias, gracias.
48:51Just 45 kilometres behind.
48:53I mean, there's a place right there, Dad.
48:55It says Hotel Big Boy.
48:57No Shady Inn, but Hotel Big Boy.
49:02Anita and Bal have finally arrived in Limón.
49:06Oh, yeah.
49:07In the same city but pushing on.
49:10We know we can't cross today,
49:11but if we can stay in a hostel right next to the border...
49:15Roman and Harley Moon are spending the gains of their labours
49:19to travel to Puerto Viejo de Talamanca.
49:23I feel so far behind.
49:25What we do know is we just need to move.
49:28I always just think what Dad would say to me.
49:31What are you going to do?
49:32Be upset about it or get over it?
49:35Those are your two options.
49:36I need a bit of that right now, I think.
49:47We need to get a move on, basically.
49:49As dawn breaks...
49:52Right, it's a pretty quick boat.
49:54We're looking to find an empty guest boat at that checkpoint.
49:57See, this is the sort of energy we need, and we're there.
50:01Molly and Tyler are finally leaving the Pacific Coast
50:05and still have a 350-kilometre journey to the checkpoint.
50:09To the north, all other teams are fast approaching Panama.
50:14Taxi.
50:15Taxi.
50:16Zig say hola.
50:2160 US dollars.
50:22Let's do it.
50:23Gracias.
50:25Race, stress, and adrenaline.
50:28It's unbelievable.
50:29Yeah.
50:32Bye-bye Costa Rica.
50:33Costa Rica.
50:34Hello Panama.
50:35Hola.
50:37How much would it cost?
50:38If you want to go now, you will be $40, right?
50:40$40.
50:41$40.
50:42$40.
50:43$40.
50:44$60 per person.
50:45Okay.
50:46That's okay.
50:47Let's go for it.
50:48Yeah, let's do it.
50:50The quickest route from here to the island checkpoint
50:51is via the Almirante port, where boats regularly run to Bocas del Toro.
50:57Country number?
50:58Six, is it?
51:00Panama, here we come.
51:02Here we go, border.
51:03What's the name of where we're going?
51:04Bocas del Toro.
51:06Yahoo!
51:08Vamos, vamos.
51:09Muy rapido.
51:10Checkpoint energy.

51:26Right.

51:29Are you going to be alright, Ted?
51:30Yeah, yeah, I'm fast with you.
51:31Woo!
51:32Let's go, go, go.
51:34I feel like the lack of seeing any other teams is always a bad sign.
51:38Yeah, that they're already here.
51:40We're starting to get butterflies.
51:42Always do it before the checkpoint.
51:45I have a good feeling.
51:46Do you?
51:47But I have a bad feeling when we see the butterflies.
51:54Once a remote outpost on Panama's Caribbean coast,
51:59Bocas del Toro grew from a modest banana port
52:03into a vibrant island community.
52:06Tucked amongst it, the fourth checkpoint.
52:11Okay.
52:12Okay.
52:13Let's go, let's go, let's go.
