They can go by train, ferry, coach or taxi, but they can't board a plane. To make things more difficult, the travellers have a limited amount of money for the journey and a small bag for their luggage. It's important they don't miss any trains and aren't delayed in long queues at security. In the first series, they leave London and cross Europe, then Asia, to get to their final destination - Singapore. The second series takes place in Latin America. The teams leave Mexico City and try to reach the far south of Argentina. The travellers call this trip the 'End of the World' because of its location. There are spectacular mountains and incredible wildlife to see. ► Watch now​
