well, a momentary concussion is seldom a good thing. waking up in colombia on a beach almost always is. having abandoned the epic ride, we're back where we started in the guijira at the blue sea restaurant. how come you're all clean? >> i changed. >> you brought a change of clothes? >> yeah. i'm hurting now. i'm feeling it, every minute, every hour, every month and year of my age. >> so you're ready for some casuela? >> yes. i trust it will make me feel all better. >> much better. it's a good end to a fun day.

>> you can't ask for better scenery. it's beautiful here. >> a beer. >> i need the anesthetic qualities of the local fire water. that's probably a really good idea. >> that's going to be a good start for tonight. >> a good start? i'm done. oh, man. that dog has the right idea. see, i'd be very happy if that was me right now. just like laying down in the sand with my chin out like that. man, it's so beautiful here. who comes here? >> basically tourists from colombia and a lot of backpackers that are making their way up to the north. >> right. but i mean, we saw one tourist all day. it's nice, really, it's completely off the grid. >> this used to be a fisherman village. >> there are definitely worse places to eat seafood than beachside in a fishing village, and the strength of this area lies in the variety of fish available. >> basically, like a fish

chowder, made with shrimp, clams. >> right. >> chibi chibi, which is a small kind of clam. lobster, fish -- >> yeah. >> and conch. >> oh, i need a bath. very clear sky for the caribbean. oh, yeah. oh, man. >> always a conch accompanied by lemon and coconut rice and plantain. some hot sauce in there. ♪ >> some good food, a few shots, the sounds of waves in the background, and a nice sunset. these are things in my experience that will set most things right. >> thank you to guajira. >> to colombia. >> to guajira and colombia. salud. >> cheers. >> we had good fun. >> we had good fun. >> cheers.

>> i always find colombia encouraging. they face problems more extreme and seemingly more intractable than many of us can imagine. and yet, every time i come here, it gets better. don't get me wrong, problems, serious problems remain, which is particularly heartbreaking in a country so beautiful, so generous, so proud, so eager to love and be loved back. i come back to my own country from colombia, and i think, if they can fix that, if they can make things better, then surely, there's nothing we can't do.

♪ for now, however, i'll settle for fixing my headache. that hurt. >> anthony: peru is a country that's historically driven men mad, mad for gold, for coca, for its magical, ancient history. but now, there's something else drawing outsiders to its hidden mountain valleys. we love this stuff. we obsess about it, gorge on it and fetishize it. i'm talking about chocolate. once a common treat, it's now becoming as nuanced as fine wine, making the pursuit of the raw, good stuff all the more difficult. i'm joining that hunt in remotest peru, but not before i've re-immersed myself in the booming lima food scene.
