PERU - Vampire bats, poisonous snakes and deserts that sear his feet right through the soles of his boots. Two bandits stalk him in the middle of nowhere. Newspaper photographers pop up miles from civilization, and reporters wait at the entrance to every town. His horses share quarters with convicts.

ECUADOR - The driver of a road grader does all he can to intentionally run Verne and his horses down. Yet another run-in with bandits. A Peace Corps nurse warns him that he faces malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid, cholera and bubonic plague. Before it's too late, he desperately seeks to learn the identity of the tasty, toxic plants that killed the bloated, dead mules along the roadside.

COLOMBIA - Lair of vicious bandit gangs that murder thousands annually.

PANAMA - The tropical sun forces locals to shield themselves with gigantic leaves, and Verne is obliged to build smoldering fires in order to keep literally millions of bloodsucking, disease-carrying insects at bay.

COSTA RICA - Home of an American deserter from the Vietnam War who accurately predicts several days in advance that he'll find himself attracted to a beautiful girl. One morning brings the news that there is anthrax only a few miles away. Verne and his horses cross the Peak of Death, where travelers have the disconcerting habit of freezing to death in standing positions.

NICARAGUA - Where even his greatest hero was afraid to go, he enters just after most Americans have fled a violent revolution.

HONDURAS - A submachine-gun-toting solider accompanies him from border to border - and not for his protection! A border official comes to the conclusion that Verne has offered a bribe.

EL SALVADOR - Where signs in bars demand that patrons check their side arms while on the premises.

GUATEMALA - A romantic interlude. Two Golden Opportunities lost. And the world's greatest bargain in railway travel.

MEXICO - An angry border official gets ready to confiscate his horses, forcing him to become a fugitive from the law ... And he runs out of money, which brings him into conflict with Mexican law a second time.

UNITED STATES - Home Sweet Home!
