    As Colombia emerges from five decades of armed conflict, former war zones are becoming top birdwatching zones, visited by tourists from all ove the world.

    Former FARC fighters are being killed in Colombia almost every week, jeopardizing a peace deal that ended five decades of war. For this assignment I travelled to a village in western Colombia, where former fighters are struggling to find work, and stay alive. We witnessed the funeral of Carlos Yunda, a former rebel who was killed almost three years after laying down his weapons.

    I obtained access to a FARC guerrilla camp to see how the rebels life is changing now that their group signed a peace deal with the government. Many are becoming parents, a big change in a group that was known for forcing its female fighters to get abortions if they became pregnant.

  • Unique whistle language could disappear forever

    • On-Air Reporter / Host

    Mexico's Chinanteco people can communicate through a rare whistle language, that helps them to reach neighbors who are hundreds of meters away. But how interested are the new generations in carrying on this spectacular tradition in an age where people can now communicate with mobile phones? We visited San Pedro Sochiapam, a town nestled deep in Oaxaca's mountains to find out.
