my task was to go and meet the Emberá tribe based deep in the jungles of Colombia.   The Emberá in this region are the last actively known group of people to still tip their blowpipe darts with poison frog venom.

Whilst taking a breather, we heard calls from above to say that some of the hunters had found poison dart frogs.   They do this by calling to the frogs at certain times of the day until they call back, then they track them down in the undergrowth by following their calls.

I proceeded to film how they transferred the poison from one black-legged poison frog to around 60 darts.   This process is only carried out by the hunters once every 6 months to a year as the poison is so potent that it lasts for over a year.

Two days and a 4 ½ hour mule ride later we arrived at our village in the heart of the Chocó Mountains.
