1
01:00:05,208 --> 01:00:08,166
Hey guys, today is a very special video

2
01:00:08,166 --> 01:00:10,791
because I'm in Cuyabeno,

3
01:00:10,791 --> 01:00:14,583
which is the Amazon part of Ecuador.

4
01:00:14,583 --> 01:00:18,166
So Amazon is also in Colombia,

5
01:00:18,166 --> 01:00:19,666
in Peru, in Brazil, 

6
01:00:19,666 --> 01:00:23,416
but this is the part which belongs to Ecuador. 

7
01:00:23,416 --> 01:00:24,541
So now I am all ready. 

8
01:00:24,541 --> 01:00:26,708
I have my raincoat, I have my hat, 

9
01:00:26,708 --> 01:00:28,458
I have my mosquito repellent. 

10
01:00:28,458 --> 01:00:30,458
We're going to be doing a lot of activities. 

11
01:00:30,458 --> 01:00:31,875
We're going to be going to the lake. 

12
01:00:31,875 --> 01:00:33,666
We're going to see a lot of animals.

13
01:00:33,666 --> 01:00:35,708
So, I hope to see Anaconda as well.

14
01:00:35,708 --> 01:00:38,041
Right now, I'm 12 hours away 

15
01:00:38,041 --> 01:00:41,083
by bus from Quito, the capital of Ecuador.

16
01:00:41,083 --> 01:00:43,666
And from here, I'm actually waiting 

17
01:00:43,666 --> 01:00:45,375
for the canoe to come 

18
01:00:45,375 --> 01:00:47,625
and pick me up to go to the lodge. 

19
01:00:47,625 --> 01:00:50,291
It's going to take me 2 hours in canoe. 

20
01:01:19,708 --> 01:01:21,166
Guide: Do you remember that I told you,

21
01:01:21,166 --> 01:01:22,875
you can see them (monkeys) very close?

22
01:01:29,458 --> 01:01:31,500
Guide: So you can appreciate it much better.

23
01:01:36,458 --> 01:01:38,083
Guide: There's the capuchin monkey.

24
01:01:38,083 --> 01:01:39,208
Pay attention.

25
01:01:39,208 --> 01:01:43,208
You'll see a bigger Capuchin with coffee color.

26
01:01:43,708 --> 01:01:46,166
Look, a woodcreeper (a bird).

27
01:01:51,041 --> 01:01:53,541
Guide: This capuchin is in the group

28
01:01:53,541 --> 01:01:56,416
of smartest monkeys. It's a carnivore,

29
01:01:57,541 --> 01:02:00,000
its tail is prehensile? Like you can see.

30
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,416
Different from the barizo monkey.

31
01:02:03,875 --> 01:02:05,833
They don't fight.

32
01:02:12,166 --> 01:02:13,875
It's not common to see Capuchin

33
01:02:13,875 --> 01:02:15,625
and barizos together.

34
01:02:15,625 --> 01:02:19,625
Obviously, there are less capuchin,

35
01:02:22,250 --> 01:02:24,291
Look another capuchin.

36
01:02:26,125 --> 01:02:30,125
That last capuchin is adult size. See?

37
01:02:34,875 --> 01:02:36,083
Grace: Can they swim too?

38
01:02:36,083 --> 01:02:38,875
Guide: Yes, they are good swimmers.

39
01:02:38,875 --> 01:02:40,333
But if they are unlucky,

40
01:02:40,333 --> 01:02:43,583
there might be a caiman (alligator) :(

41
01:02:46,166 --> 01:02:49,250
Guide: Place your life jackets there.

42
01:02:54,625 --> 01:02:56,625
I just arrived here 15 minutes ago,

43
01:02:56,625 --> 01:02:59,583
and by the river, I saw pink dolphin.

44
01:02:59,583 --> 01:03:01,125
Actually, instead of 2 hours,

45
01:03:01,125 --> 01:03:04,416
it took us 3 hours to get here by the canoe.

46
01:03:04,416 --> 01:03:07,291
So on the way, we saw monkeys,

47
01:03:07,291 --> 01:03:09,083
like three types of monkeys,

48
01:03:09,083 --> 01:03:10,958
and also different types of birds.

49
01:03:10,958 --> 01:03:13,041
So, in this lodge, they only

50
01:03:13,041 --> 01:03:14,791
give us like about 5 hours

51
01:03:14,791 --> 01:03:16,708
of electricity per day,

52
01:03:16,708 --> 01:03:19,625
but it's enough to get a phone charge

53
01:03:19,625 --> 01:03:21,708
and everything. Really clean and

54
01:03:21,708 --> 01:03:24,166
really nice and the most important thing is

55
01:03:24,625 --> 01:03:25,833
there's no internet.

56
01:04:22,916 --> 01:04:25,583
Grace: Is it alive or is it only skin?

57
01:04:25,583 --> 01:04:30,750
The anaconda is over here and that's an old tree.

58
01:04:37,583 --> 01:04:38,875
Grace: Is it an anaconda?

59
01:04:38,875 --> 01:04:40,458
Guide: Yes, it's an anaconda.

60
01:04:41,333 --> 01:04:43,791
Grace: But is it an adult?

61
01:04:43,791 --> 01:04:45,166
Guide: Yes, it's an adult, a female.

62
01:04:47,916 --> 01:04:50,166
Grace: But why isn't it moving?

63
01:04:50,166 --> 01:04:53,750
Guide: it's resting, it's changing skin,

64
01:04:53,750 --> 01:04:56,916
it's resting. If it gets bothered,

65
01:04:56,916 --> 01:04:59,375
then it might fall into the water

66
01:04:59,375 --> 01:05:00,583
or want to eat you.

67
01:05:05,291 --> 01:05:08,416
Grace: How big is it approximately (meters)?

68
01:05:08,416 --> 01:05:10,416
Guide: Like 6-8 Meters,

69
01:05:10,416 --> 01:05:15,083
I think 8 meters, it's thick.

70
01:05:32,666 --> 01:05:34,541
Guide: Hows the water? Is it hot?

71
01:05:34,541 --> 01:05:36,541
Grace: It's not that cold.

72
01:05:36,541 --> 01:05:39,083
Guide: Today there wasn't much sun,

73
01:05:39,083 --> 01:05:39,916
only in the afternoon, 

74
01:05:39,916 --> 01:05:43,666
when it's sunny, the temp goes up,

75
01:05:43,666 --> 01:05:46,875
but it's is always a pleasant temperature.

76
01:05:51,500 --> 01:05:52,416
Mom come.

77
01:05:55,083 --> 01:05:56,250
Mom come.

78
01:06:24,041 --> 01:06:26,000
So, I'm about to go walk in the forest.

79
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:28,000
So, we're going to go take this boat

80
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:29,833
and stop somewhere in the forest

81
01:06:29,833 --> 01:06:32,458
and find some cool animals.

82
01:06:51,333 --> 01:06:52,750
So, I'm about to go on a trail.

83
01:06:52,750 --> 01:06:55,291
It's called El Saladero.

84
01:06:55,291 --> 01:06:59,083
So right now, we are about at this spot,

85
01:06:59,083 --> 01:07:01,500
and we're going up to here.

86
01:07:01,541 --> 01:07:03,625
Mom, it's a bit slippery here.

87
01:07:06,125 --> 01:07:08,333
We're right in the center of the Earth.

88
01:07:08,333 --> 01:07:10,166
So this is the equator line.

89
01:07:10,166 --> 01:07:12,166
It passes through this line.

90
01:07:27,250 --> 01:07:29,833
Guide: Indigenous people used

91
01:07:29,833 --> 01:07:32,416
to use this to grate cassava.

92
01:07:35,291 --> 01:07:37,625
The spikes are hard, very strong.

93
01:07:37,625 --> 01:07:40,625
If you touch, it hurts a lot.

94
01:07:41,125 --> 01:07:43,083
It worked as a natural grater.

95
01:07:59,083 --> 01:08:00,791
Guide: You can try eating the bugs.

96
01:08:00,791 --> 01:08:03,666
It's not poisonous or toxic. 

97
01:08:05,250 --> 01:08:07,125
You can take it home to make

98
01:08:07,125 --> 01:08:11,458
lemon with tequila :)

99
01:08:12,416 --> 01:08:13,458
Lemon!

100
01:08:22,291 --> 01:08:25,500
For a horse :)

101
01:08:39,375 --> 01:08:40,375
I just finished the hike,

102
01:08:40,375 --> 01:08:42,708
and now I'm going into the water!

103
01:08:49,541 --> 01:08:52,000
Stick out your tongue!

104
01:09:30,166 --> 01:09:34,875
Coming up? Not yet! Never.

105
01:09:37,916 --> 01:09:40,541
Crocodile hunting. Caiman.

106
01:09:44,125 --> 01:09:47,916
We just saw a crocodile, it was hiding.

107
01:09:47,916 --> 01:09:49,708
I only saw the top part.

108
01:09:51,625 --> 01:09:52,375
So this morning,

109
01:09:52,375 --> 01:09:54,750
I woke up and had breakfast. 

110
01:09:54,750 --> 01:09:58,125
Now we are on our way to the community.

111
01:09:58,125 --> 01:10:01,833
A small community inside this Amazon forest.

112
01:10:01,833 --> 01:10:03,416
So, it's going to take us about

113
01:10:03,416 --> 01:10:05,041
one hour to get there.

114
01:10:06,166 --> 01:10:07,958
There we'll get to meet Shaman.

115
01:10:07,958 --> 01:10:11,458
Shaman are like a doctor in the village.

116
01:10:17,333 --> 01:10:17,875
So, right now, 

117
01:10:17,875 --> 01:10:20,041
I'm in front of a tree called Ceibo. 

118
01:10:20,041 --> 01:10:22,208
In Ecuador, they call it that way. 

119
01:10:22,208 --> 01:10:25,916
So this tree is really big and really sacred. 

120
01:10:25,916 --> 01:10:31,333
So there's a belief that if you hug the tree,

121
01:10:31,333 --> 01:10:32,875
it gives you good luck. 

122
01:10:32,875 --> 01:10:34,375
If you hit the tree really hard,

123
01:10:34,375 --> 01:10:35,666
it makes a really loud sound,

124
01:10:35,666 --> 01:10:37,833
and it gives the signal 

125
01:10:37,833 --> 01:10:39,125
like someone is there attacking, 

126
01:10:39,125 --> 01:10:41,291
you gotta hide. Something like that.

127
01:11:01,041 --> 01:11:03,541
Really cool and seriously really big,

128
01:11:03,541 --> 01:11:05,791
like the biggest tree I've seen in Amazon, 

129
01:11:05,791 --> 01:11:07,208
here so far. 

130
01:11:07,208 --> 01:11:09,166
And there's this rope-like thing 

131
01:11:09,166 --> 01:11:11,625
hanging from the very top to here. 

132
01:11:11,625 --> 01:11:14,541
Now I know Tarzan really existed.

133
01:11:22,500 --> 01:11:25,416
You got it!

134
01:11:38,666 --> 01:11:40,750
Guide: Let's see Grace. Give me your hand.

135
01:11:52,583 --> 01:11:54,708
Guide: A lot of protein, a lot of minerals, 

136
01:11:54,708 --> 01:11:56,583
very good. Haha, just kidding!

137
01:12:01,583 --> 01:12:02,208
Let's go!

138
01:12:34,833 --> 01:12:37,333
We just got some cassava from outside

139
01:12:37,333 --> 01:12:39,833
fresh from the ground.

140
01:12:39,833 --> 01:12:42,125
And now we are grating it 

141
01:12:42,125 --> 01:12:43,416
together with my group. 

142
01:12:43,416 --> 01:12:45,500
And, then later we're making 

143
01:12:45,500 --> 01:12:46,500
some bread with it. 

144
01:12:52,791 --> 01:12:55,791
Does it hurt? Yes, it's bleeding.

145
01:13:00,375 --> 01:13:03,375
I lost!

146
01:13:09,166 --> 01:13:10,708
They were just talking about it :)

147
01:13:10,708 --> 01:13:12,291
They were just talking about the silly

148
01:13:12,291 --> 01:13:13,583
foreigners that cut themselves.

149
01:13:15,458 --> 01:13:17,750
This reminds me of tapioca

150
01:13:17,750 --> 01:13:20,875
that I used to eat a lot in Brazil.

151
01:13:20,875 --> 01:13:24,000
In Brazil, this type of cooking,

152
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,916
so cassava cooked like this,

153
01:13:26,916 --> 01:13:28,458
is called tapioca.

154
01:13:28,458 --> 01:13:32,583
And we eat with nutella, or sometimes chicken,

155
01:13:32,583 --> 01:13:34,875
or whatever that you wanna put.

156
01:13:45,958 --> 01:13:49,250
The shaman was teaching us the indigenous language.

157
01:13:50,333 --> 01:13:52,083
My name is Grace

158
01:13:52,541 --> 01:13:56,250
I am from Thailand.

159
01:13:57,208 --> 01:13:59,458
Meaning: my name is Grace

160
01:13:59,458 --> 01:14:00,916
and I'm from Thailand.

161
01:14:06,875 --> 01:14:09,750
The shaman is hitting us with thorny leaves.

162
01:14:09,750 --> 01:14:13,541
And with this, he says that he cure us 

163
01:14:13,541 --> 01:14:16,208
So I told him that i have a back pain.

164
01:14:16,416 --> 01:14:20,333
And he's trying to help me. Let's see if it works.

165
01:14:29,833 --> 01:14:30,625
Painful!

166
01:14:39,833 --> 01:14:41,000
Come! come!

167
01:15:03,750 --> 01:15:05,083
We're in the middle of the forest 

168
01:15:05,083 --> 01:15:08,333
looking for little animals like grasshoppers, 

169
01:15:08,333 --> 01:15:11,583
cockroaches, and spiders. 

170
01:15:11,583 --> 01:15:13,500
And we saw a few really cool ones.

171
01:15:29,375 --> 01:15:31,791
And, now we're going back to see the snake.

172
01:15:31,791 --> 01:15:34,791
The anaconda that we saw on the first day.

173
01:15:34,791 --> 01:15:37,500
to check if it's still there waiting for me.

174
01:15:42,750 --> 01:15:44,416
Guide (to Grace): only up to there!

175
01:15:44,416 --> 01:15:45,083
Don't touch!

176
01:15:45,083 --> 01:15:45,583
Grace: Why ?

177
01:15:45,583 --> 01:15:46,375
He just said so.

178
01:15:47,625 --> 01:15:49,583
Grace: okay!

179
01:15:56,500 --> 01:15:59,166
It's like the skin is like...

180
01:16:00,250 --> 01:16:02,250
trying to change, right?

181
01:16:25,500 --> 01:16:27,333
So, guys, today is my fourth day, 

182
01:16:27,333 --> 01:16:30,416
