in the volcanic azores. you can taste the sea. the texture of the wine, yes you can taste the sea. for generations, snakes, scorpions, and spiders have been important mystical and religious figures here in mexico. and travelling around the country, you cannot escape being reminded of that. but in reality some are very dangerous.

around 4.5 million people are bitten by snakes alone around the world every year, and over half of those bites can lead to serious injuries or worse. and climate change, combined with accelerated urban development means that more and more people are coming into contact with things that can bite, with scientists predicting that the number of cases can rise even higher. to get an idea of what is out there here in mexico, i have come to a park near the capital to meet diego barales, who has become a twitter sensation. he is the go—to guy when it comes to identifying potential danger. every day, hundreds of pictures are said to him from worried travellers looking for reassurance after a close encounter or bite from a spider, scorpion, orsnake. hi, diego. hi, ava. hey. how are you? i'm great. what deadly creature

are we looking for here? 0h, we are looking for spiders and scorpions. they are quite common in this part of mexico. and it doesn't take long to find a scorpion, even though it's dark, they show up with a uv light, which is far more effective than using a traditional torch. and even though the scorpions you'll find here in mexico aren't as deadly as some that you might find across the middle east, they can still give you a very painful sting. wow. there he goes. diego, you've become quite a bit of a social media celebrity. how did that happen? it's because people want to know more about these animals. of course, people are afraid of this animal, so they are looking for help. these animals are, most of them, seen as horrible creatures. but i think that through the work i have been doing

in the twitter account and the instagram account, people are starting to see these creatures in a different way. despite diego's best efforts, more people are bitten here in mexico than anywhere else in the world. which is part of the reason why the country has developed one of the most advanced antivenom programmes anywhere. so i'm off to meet dr alagon, one of the world's leading authorities on antivenom, who has promised me a date with a potentially deadly rattlesnake. so, so scary looking. antivenom is made up from antibodies that can neutralize a potentially harmful or lethal sting or bite. and the only way to create it is to start by collecting the venom in the first place. so he's about to milk the snake? yes, yeah, yeah.

look. huge fangs. oh, you see the the yellow venom. that's the venom? yeah, that's the venom. that snake is not happy. the team regularly extract venom from some of the world's most dangerous snakes and scorpions in a process called milking. the venom will then be used to create antibodies which will counter the poison, but more on that in a moment. so that's not very much, is it? well, actually, for us it's quite a bit, you know, and it's very concentrated and potent. ten years ago, dr alagon bought this ranch on the outskirts of mexico city, where he keeps the animals that have the key to the success of the antivenom process. and they are these horses. what's the link between

horses and antivenom? because as you can see, horses, they behave well. you know, they are large animals. so they can produce lots of blood. and then you can purify the antibodies that make the antivenom from the horse blood. the process is a slow but very controlled one over a period of six months. over a period of six months, a horse is injected with a small but increasing amount of snake, scorpion or spider venom that allows the horse to build venom, neutralizing antibodies in its blood, which means they become immune to that particular venom. these antibodies are then extracted by dr alagon�*s cowboys turned scientists, which they then use to create life—saving serum. the blood will be collected in a bag, and then it will be

hung so that the the cells, the blood cells deposit in the bottom and the plasma that contains the the antibodies from which antivenoms are made remains on the top. how much antivenom do these horses actually produce? well, it will produce an average of 2000 vials of antivenom, one donation, that's as far as scorpions. four snakes, you only get 200 vials. those are still pretty powerful numbers. yes. so what would you say to people who, you know, who think that this might not be the right thing to do to horses, to these beautiful animals? well, i will say that these horses have been used for antivenom production for more than 130 years.

and as you can see, they are well treated, well fed. and i will say that that is more suffering, saving lives. and so far, there is not an alternative for that. if you think about it, each of these horses could potentially save thousands of lives. thousands of lives, literally. yes. if you do get bitten, the best advice is to not attempt to remove the venom yourself by sucking the site of the wound, but seek medical help immediately. don't drink caffeine or alcohol, both of which could speed up the rate at which your body absorbs the poison and try to remember the colour and shape of the creature that's bitten you, as that will help medical staff to treat you quickly and effectively. so, since the use of antivenom has become more widespread in mexico, how have the numbers changed? yeah. mortality in the case of scorpions has decreased by 86% and in the case of a snake by 63%. that's a huge difference.

huge difference. well, if you're thinking of coming here, don't let the idea of a few creepy crawlies put you off. there are loads of outdoor adventures to consider. here are just a few. history buffs will find exploring the remains of mexico's ancient civilizations irresistible. the mayan ruins of palenque are thought to be well over 1000 years old, with hundreds of buildings spread over six square miles. or for those with a really adventurous side, how about cave diving in the yucatan peninsula? descend into one of the thousands of naturally formed, flooded sinkholes called cenotes. and there is a world to discover underwater cenotes cenotes often begin with one large chamber which branches off into vast cave systems. there is thought to be a cenote here for every

skill level of diver. and how about mountain climbing in central mexico? at around 20,000 feet altitude, there are spectacular mountains here for expert climbers, but even novices can scale them with an experienced guide. treks to the volcano can also be combined with visits to the stunning pyramids of teotihuacan. still to come on the travel show, we enter the world of ancient scottish architecture. the current academic thinking is that they were houses. houses with five metres thick walls and 13 metres high. cheers. and try a volcanic tipple in the azores. wow, that's intense. so don't go away. while i was around mexico city, there was one place ijust had to check out.

within the waterways of sochimilco lies a local legend. step onto an island here and you will find among a few small huts a place which some say is cursed. welcome to the island of dos. this strange little place has become a massive tourist attraction, but its origins are actually pretty dark. so around 70 years ago, a young girl drowned nearby, and so the island's owner started placing dolls around here for her spirit to play with. but the story gets much weirder than that. after filling the entire island with dolls, the owner himself died in the exact same spot as the young girl. it is said he spent 50 years adding to the collection of dolls here before his own

mysterious death in 2001. definitely not the kind of place i'd want to spend the night alone. so it's probably for the best then that you can't actually sleep here, but you can visit the island as part of a day tour of sochi milos waterways. it's not one for the faint hearted. i've never been to a place like this before. with good reason. it's absolutely terrifying. it's a great natural setting for a horror movie.

standing in the midst of the stunning scottish wilderness for the past 2000 years, these mysterious stone structures are a symbol of scotland's unique archaeological past. known as a broch, the exact purpose of these iconic iron age ruins is still unknown. however, a group of experimental archaeologists believe that an ambitious project to build a broch from scratch could finally help us to better understand their past. a broch is a huge iron age structure made completely of dry stone with walls five metres thick. we don't have a name for the tribes of people that a broch is a huge iron age structure made completely of dry stone with walls five metres thick. we don't have a name for the tribes of people that lived here, and that's perhaps part of the mystery of what a broch was used for. the current academic thinking

is that they were hoses, is that they were houses, houses with five metres thick walls and 13 metres high still after hundreds of years of archaeology. we're not entirely sure. we have a modern perception of what buildings are the most complete. moosa broch is the most intact brock that we have. it does, of course, have a secondary structure from a later occupation phase built inside it. but we do have a good sense of what a broch may have been in its completed form. dry stone towers of that size and you especially see it with mousavi is it's a difficult endeavour to begin with to build one. the fact that they have lasted as long as they have, the fact that they go through several phases of occupation spanning somewhere around 1000 years is attractive to a heritage tourist. the caithness brock project is an experimental archaeological initiative aiming to build a full scale brock from scratch using traditional methods. it is a hugely ambitious undertaking as so little

is known about these mysterious buildings. i think it's a very adventurous idea to build a broch will teach us an incredible amount about how to go about building and dry stone to build a structure and the design of our broch, we've tried to base it as much as we can on archaeological evidence. i think what we really hope to achieve is a more thorough understanding of blocks and how they were built might kind of play into ideas of why they were built as well. so as we go through the process of constructing _ then maybe we'll get a better insight into the minds of brock builders in the past as well, because there are so many unanswered questions about the iron age, how iron age societies work, how did they kind of revolve around the block or how two blocks revolved around iron age societies?

the building of the broch will be as much of an attraction as it as a complete structure. the caithness broch project is currently searching for the ideal site to begin the construction of their brock and they estimate it could be between three and five years before they finally achieve their goal of bringing this enigmatic building back to the scottish countryside. next up, we are off to the azores where new wine routes are being developed across six of the nine major islands following a renaissance in the unique practice of growing grapes across lava fields. we sent kat mo to find out more. there it is. 0na map, pico island is pretty much a dot in the middle of the atlantic ocean. formed 300,000 years ago, it's the youngest volcanic island in the azores archipelago. pico last erupted 300 years ago, and it explains why

the land is so rugged. tourists come to hike its unique landscape alongside whale watching and dolphin spotting. but i'm here for its volcanic wines. in fact, unesco has granted pico world heritage status for its vineyard culture. and i'm starting to see why. let's see. wejust pick a grape. fortunato is always last to harvest on the island because he needs to wait till his grapes reach a higher sugar level. almost like raisins. what does that tell you? it tells me the probably alcohol that i'm going to have. so now it's around 13, so i need to be at least 18. so it needs a bit more sunshine. yes. now we're going to go all the way up to the windmills. so, see, you grew up in and around these beautiful vineyards. at that time, it didn't look that beautiful because we were working around here and it's crazy. and and yeah, sometimes i would.

what are we doing right now? hide. he makes a very old type of wine, which almost disappeared entirely after a plague decimated the vineyards across the island in the late 19th century. if it wasn't for my dad to continue this, we would not have pasada wine today. the posada wine, like in the old days and starting 1460, it's definitely the most iconic wine of pico. that's the wine that used to go to popes. and the emperors and kings. and the czars. and just run me through the mechanics of of how these grapes even thrive to begin with. each corral, which is these four stone walls that we have around us, this creates a micro perfect microclimate. and if you touch this rock, you can see that it's warm. this is really warm. you're going to have during the day the sun hitting the grapes and then during the night you're going to have heat coming from the rocks up.

and that's why it's possible to us to produce passable wines. most winemakers have an adega like a winery, but more homely and acts as a spot for social gatherings. so something i hadn't mentioned yet. this has been dubbed the impossible wine because of its very, very high alcohol content all naturally achieved. wow, that's intense. walking around the island, it's easy to see its rich winemaking history. but there is the role of people. so the wine barrels, they came along in the carts, along the rocks. then they rolled, then they rolled it all the way down into it. then they pick it and put it on the ships. and if you venture inland, you'll find miles of abandoned vineyards and crumbling lava walls.

so we recovered 120 hectors. it took us three years with 30 guys every day because you wanted to grow the almost extinct grapes in the environment that they were originally grown exactly, 15 years ago, because vineyards were a museum, an open air museum. and today, it's an industry. there's wine tourism coming to the island. so i think there's there's a whole new era forfor pico wines. ten years ago, this was all forest. nearly all the restored vineyards are now successfully bearing fruit. and lucky for me, they're harvesting. so this is a unique grape varietal in the world. 0nly exists here. perfect. good. they look lovely. that's it. unlike fortunato, the azores wine company, adiga

is modern, built to blend in with the landscape. you can taste the signature of the of the wine. yes, you can taste the sea. the essence of the sea. and that's a very particular, uh. and that's why these wines are unique. with so many people now growing grapes locally on the island, a new generation of winemakers are rising up and doing things a little differently. katja rent space at iwc to make wine until she can build her own. so what do you do differently that perhaps the others don't do? ok, so maybe for me it's work with small quantities, not big quantities. so i try to do a little bit work with barrels, with steel tanks and a little bit of maceration, carbonic maceration.

you're doing it your way. yes. now there's just one last thing to do before i call it a night. best experience that you can have in our time. you set at the table, yourfriends. you have the barrel right behind you. well, it's very nice that you have a bed if you want to drink it. right. that's it for now. coming up next week. rome hunting down italy's stolen art. wow. this is. it's beautiful. and checks out a new museum showcasing the latest recoveries. until then, you can catch up with some of our more recent adventures on the bbc iplayer. we're on social media, too.

just search bbc travel show on facebook and instagram and you'll find us there. in the meantime, from me and my little friend here in mexico, safe travels and i'll see you back on the road soon. bye. hello. well, the rain clouds are starting to clear, and the weather is improving across scotland after what has been a very wet couple of days. and, of course, not just scotland but northern england, too. here's the radar from the last 12 hours or so — and in aberdeenshire, in char, we had about 160mm of rain injust the last two days or so. but that rain is getting lighter. it's not going to be

a completely dry day, though, on saturday. how about the weekend overall? well, it will be a mixed bag for most of us, certainly some sunshine in the forecast, but blustery showers are expected too. here's the satellite picture — and this weather front fast approaching will be sweeping over us, but not until saturday night. so, actually, during the course of saturday, we'll be in between weather systems — here's that weather front fast approaching ireland — but out towards the east, we have the remnants of a weather front, it's starting to rain itself out. and then look at this central part of the uk — lots of fine weather right from the morning onwards. now the morning will be chilly, three celsius in belfast at 8am in the morning, six celsius there in the midlands, and certainly earlier than that, there will have been a frost in the countryside. now, the forecast through the afternoon shows plenty of bright, if not sunny weather in central parts of britain. in the east, that rain fizzles away from that thicker cloud. but out towards the west, that's where the next weather front is sweeping in from, and belfast will have

a wet saturday evening. and then, overnight, that weather front will basically sweep across the country, so most of us will get at least some rain. here it is early on sunday morning, early hours, it sweeps out into the north sea. and then, behind it, quite a few isobars there, so quite blustery winds and also frequent showers. now, some of the showers will be heavy, possibly even thundery in some western areas, particularly in the northwest here, but many of us will have a fine day. now it will be quite cool air, rushing in off the atlantic, temperatures typically into single figures across most of the uk, maybe in the south touching around 11—12 celsius for a moment or two in the afternoon on sunday. how about the outlook into next week? it is looking unsettled. monday will be a wet and windy day for some of us. and those temperatures holding around single figures in the north, closer to double in the south. bye— bye.
