The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan takes the left-field traveller to Colombia

In the last of The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan, Romesh heads to Colombia in South America.

Apart from watching the popular TV show Narcos, which details the life of its most infamous drug baron Pablo Escobar, Romesh doesn’t know what to expect.

But he’s intrigued to find out if there’s more to Colombia than cocaine and cartels.

Together, the two of them visit the bombed-out remains of Escobar’s old home, but they also see beautiful cities, beaches and culture. Romesh even learns to dance… kind of.
