FINDING A HUGE NATURAL WATERSLIDE IN PARATY, BRAZIL WATERFALL CACHOEIRA DO TOBOGA | RIO
so this is the beginning of the trail to the waterfall gotta work up the courage to go down that must be one of the most fun water slides ever how cool is this morning from parachie it is a super hot day already you can feel the humidity we're in for a fun day today we're going to a waterfall where you can slide down it never done that before and we're going to a distillery where they make the traditional brazilian alcohol we're going to grab some breakfast and we'll see you there good morning first stop is coconut water agua de coco and it is for real so 80 cents so for breakfast we're gonna go to the same place we went to yesterday which has acai eggs coffee things like that so we spent 35 real which is around seven dollars a little bit less we got pau de queijo one of the most famous little pastry things in brazil that's cheese in there and it's made with a tapioca outside it looks like bread but it's not is not always easy to find and we found one we like here it's not too sweet sometimes if they sweeten it too much it ends up tasting like a grape popsicle or something like that which we don't really like beautiful breakfast now we got a couple of snacks to go more probably joe a pizza pocket of some sort and now we have to find the boss we've made it to the large bus station the bus terminal so this town is really small so it's really easy to find the only in maine bus station you can probably walk around this whole town and like a few hours still waiting about a half hour later we don't know when the next bus is coming we might have just missed it we changed our mind and we decided to look at these vans here the bus is going to be leaving in about an hour and a half so we couldn't wait that long or we could but we didn't want to we figured out that we have to find a van going to paynha so we found this van where you can split the cost with a bunch of people instead of paying for a private taxi so hopefully this works out typically in these situations and things like this you wait until it fills up and you don't really leave until then early so you get enough people to kind of pay for the trip luckily ours is filling up okay about 10 minutes later we're all full and we are taking off so eight real which is a little under two dollars for both of us one way to get here all right we're here let's get started so this is the beginning of the trail to the waterfall i don't think it's very far but it's starting off gorgeous in the middle of the rainforest we can see the waterfall from here already and we've only been on the trail for 30 seconds uh we heard that it's best to go in the morning because it can get really crowded with tours and people being here but since it's coven we're hoping that that's not the case and we'll have most of it to ourselves as you walk along the trail it's right here right here next to you that's incredible this place isn't just about a waterfall it isn't just about the slippery rock you can slide down there are natural pools there's a bridge to walk across let's take a look at all of this these kids are going down the waterfall slide standing up this is a lot scarier than it actually looks i'm sure once you go down it's fine but we gotta work up the courage to go down there's a nice little waterfall up here and then more up there but then this is the ticket i'm gonna be the brave one to go first i think you can either go laying down or sitting up but i'm gonna sit up oh that's crazy how was it a little scary you don't know which way you're going you just don't want to end up over there that's where all the rocks are that must be one of the most fun water slides ever a natural water slide we did it it was a bit scary i don't know if i'm going to do it again but i'm sure alex will yeah because you know he kind of pushes you off uh so you go faster and it looks like if you go just a little bit too far over this way you might hit some rocks at the bottom the guy at the top who kind of directs you but he only speaks portuguese so we're like just doing our best to guess what it means yeah just push us but look there's such a beautiful location the whole face of the rock is under water and then you have a little cove here another little waterfall over there you can just swim down here go down this waterfall swim up there in the other natural pool there's probably another little section and it's just it seems endless it just keeps going this is such a cool spot even just to come hang out if you're not up for the adventure of actually going down the waterfall also it's fun just to watch other people go down so definitely would recommend checking this out this is so cool i've never seen anything like this you okay are you okay hey i gotta hurt my hand now we're gonna go to this cool little restaurant that's on the other side of the river looks like they have drinks they have full meals they have everything and we get to cross the school bridge now oh this thing is bouncing how cool is this say lindsay right there i think we're gonna get some drinks they look pretty crazy a couple of them so we have to find out what these are they look bright and beautiful hopefully they taste good too what a setting for a restaurant looks like we're about to have some live music keep warming up these are the kind of experiences that you might not get to have on a tour or if they do bring you here then it's on their time and it might be rushed so we like this we can just go at our own pace and the ride here was only less than a dollar each so pretty good yeah if we had taken a tour we would have left by now probably we wouldn't get to sit at this restaurant we wouldn't get to sit at the bottom of the waterfall we pretty much would get the experience we've had so far but nothing else i ordered an espanola it almost kind of looks like a smoothie but inside of it is condensed milk wine and strawberry a nice that's good it's like a creamy smoothie wine sometimes alex and i are kind of bad at describing the flavors right when we try something but then we tend to talk about it for a few minutes after and try to figure out what does this actually taste like that we're familiar with we go into the recesses of our brains and our memories to find something that it tastes like this one there's something very familiar to it this one great flappy taffy that we get in the u.s there's a little laffy taffy candies specifically that flavor it tastes just like that so creative beautiful and then i got a strawberry butter awesome you can see the milk in there kasasha strawberries some kind of milk like condensed milk syrup in there ah that's pretty good i think we're beginning to like potatoes as well as caipirinhas they don't seem to be as popular as cambodians but we see them around now that we've finished our drinks we are going to go take a dip at the bottom of the waterfall on a little tiny bridge little planks what what crazy we got air on that too jeez i heard myself just going down on my butt and he can go down on his legs the whole way on his feet and even get some air did you see he jumped up a little bit off of the rock like it was nothing that looks so scary that takes some mad skill right there yeah the thing is it's not all in the clear it would be different if this was all one large pool at the bottom and you knew you'd be safe when you hit it but there are rocks in there in certain areas where you'll hit rocks easily we're at the bottom of the waterfall where you can slide down and this is a little nook where you can just hang out and relax and watch people go down it's actually pretty entertaining okay waterfall has been awesome but now we're gonna go try kashasa at uh distillery that's basically the national alcohol of brazil apparently it's walking distance from here so you compare the waterfall and the distillery in the same day let's go go together like peanuts and carrots oh look at these it bit you ah fire ant just bit me alex was gonna take a video because he looked cool oh but then he got bit cut i've never been bitten by a player it feels like a beast thing kind of and then it was sticking on you yeah it got caught between my toes and just kept going so yeah it's literally right across the street so how do you say it yeah it's right here beautiful place let's go have some drink this is tucked in the middle of nowhere look at all these beautiful flowers and plants wow uh united states and this is the sugar that is farming is made all inside brazil only in brazil i can use more less thirty types of the pearls to age texas it's free to have a cachaca tasting so we're gonna try a few of these there's a lot of different flavors to choose from acai banana even corn he said we should try the not as sweet ones first and make our way to the sweet ones and for those of you who don't know kasasha is fermented sugar cane so once they ferment it for about 30 hours it turns into alcohol there's a lot more that goes into the process but that's the gist of it so i got a white cachaca and it sounds like he said what you do is you keep your mouth closed and that's the way that you can really get the aroma and the flavors and everything in your mouth i think he said because once you open your mouth it can start evaporating and that's when you can feel more it didn't burn so you're supposed to keep your mouth closed and then like breathe through your nose kind of get the taste through your nose so let's give it a try i'll try to keep my mouth closed he said if you do that long enough you can taste the sugar in it yeah it has a sweetness to it it is strong it's cachaca which is pretty strong it's like having any other alcohol said 40 alcohol volume on the bottle you can feel it on your tongue mine smells sweet i'm going to be trying the gabriella which is with a cinnamon and brown sugar much different look to it cheers okay that is actually really good yeah he said that's a a favorite of people these days it tastes like a smooth fireball yeah but better like it's like a apple cinnamony tastes so good we might have to buy a bottle of that one it's a brazilian grape and then we're gonna try it's a brazilian grape and then uh acai our favorite so we have a couple good ones here the jabush kappa i think it's called acai easy this one's supposed to be stronger than the last one we have that's strong it tastes like a fruity wine almost mine tastes like a cough syrup laundry oh acai isn't naturally sweet so they actually sweeten it with guarana which is like a popular soda here as well that's the one that we tried the other day and guaranteed yeah it's a fruit from amazon uh it's something that we see all over here in the soda form we don't really see the fruit form so much i guess they just use it in things they use it as sweetener so that's pretty cool but then in the other ones they use a different like a sugar or like some other kind of sugar to sweeten them up i guess it depends how it pairs with it maybe so it's interesting they use different sweeteners natural sweeteners so the one that alex just tried is a brazilian fruit and that's what's cool about being here is you get to try all these different fruits that we never even knew existed and they're delicious so what they grow most of the fruits right here so like we're standing under a type of acai tree which is pretty cool because we wanted to see that like how acai actually grows in the wild yeah so i think we're done with the tasting we had about four different ones and i'm not a big alcohol person all on its own so lindsay doesn't really like when alcohol is really strong or she also doesn't like having a ton of it at once so uh this is one of those it's uh having strong alcohol so i think it was enough just having a few there they do their alcohols pretty well here i must say all the different flavors are really interesting and what's really cool is they don't charge you for a tasting usually when you come to places like this they'll charge you for tasting their different alcohols let's go see what they have inside i got two more acerola which is brazilian cherry they actually have a tree right over here and then this is corn corn it looks like a cream of corn soup or something cherry it's pretty good it has a has a milder flavor than i thought it would so it's not too sweet and over the top not tart it's more like a like a caramel kind of flavor corn i'm excited to see him try this one why would anyone buy corn that is like melted down candy corn so it's like a candy uh it's very sweet but yeah i don't know what else to say melted on candy corn sweet sweet sweet corn juice we're tired after a great long day and we are waiting for the same little van that brought us here to take us back we've been waiting for about an hour it's a gorgeous night and that concludes our day we'll see you guys tomorrow for some more adventures in karachi you
