Show Video

good morning everyone here from the big city of  manaus in the amazon. today we're extra excited because   we're gonna be doing a tour, a three-day tour in  the amazon rainforest and this is what we wanted   to do the most when we came here, we wanted to go  to the amazon rainforest the proper jungle   and sleep there and that's exactly what we're  going to be doing in this video. so once again   we're doing the tour with iguana turismo and  this one is called the iguana package, so they   do have other packages where you can spend less  days there or more days but we're going to be   spending three days there, and it's gonna cost a  1140 reais and that includes meals   everything really, transport, everything's included  in that price and that is per person. so we're just   gonna head to the office now and that's where  we'll get the transport into the rainforest ready to go? yeah. so am i. excited

yeah i'm really excited, i'm  wondering which boat we're getting in it's the same kind of boat i think?  yeah it is. yeah, like a taxi boat so we've arrived at this other port now   i think we've got to get another van and another  boat. yeah another van and another boat yeah so i think this is like a main connection spot for   loads of boats because you can see loads of boats  arrivin, got another tour here. and this is ours it's like one of those van life kombi  things. yeah here in brazil we call it kombi. kombi volkswagen   all right let's go inside yeah come here picking up some supplies, yeah watermelon. watermelon so that took about 45 minutes i  think? yeah now another boat to the pousada yeah on this little stream here, so  the majority of the road was paved   just the last 20  minutes it was sandy like this or muddy so this is going to take us right to the lodge? yeah.

so this is home for the next day or two. yeah So this is called Juma Lake Inn, that's where we're going to be  staying, right on the riverfront let's go brazil so they said that lunch should already  be ready soon. what? oh really the dolphin   where was it? over there. just over here? yeah we saw a few  while we were coming on the boat so they're   everywhere here. yeah i think we're gonna see  more today. yeah so we are waiting for the lunch   it's going to be at 12 and  then we have some time to relax   and then we'll do other stuff in the afternoon.  yeah, yeah so this right here is the lunch area then outside they have this cool  little deck here and chill out and swim   all right so we're gonna check into our room  now, so you can see they have all these little   cabins here. i think ours is like the  last one. yeah i really like the design  

yeah yeah it's cool. yeah so we got the final  little shack, the view of our balcony here ah so it's like a queen size bed and  two other beds. yeah. and it's a fan room let's see the rest, all right there's the shower   so we're going to go for a  little swim now right in front of the   lodge that we're staying in. so the crazy thing  is they just told us that what's in the water? piranhas. 

Piranhas and crocodiles and alligators/ yeah the guys  saw one a big one like two meter one over there   yeah and he said that the piranhas are all  around here but what i didn't know is that   for us we always think they just attack  humans and attack things straight away. yeah   that's what i thought too but according to the  guy. it's completely safe. it's not like that yeah   only if you're bleeding a lot it's not like just  a little cut. yeah so we should be safe but i'm   not sure if i'm gonna jump. yeah even though they  said there's no casualties i think a lot of people   just knowing that theres piranhas there would  never jump in, i'm gonna jump in though. okay good luck i love you. chris dinner, nom nom nom nom nom nom nom

is it deep i don't know? i  think so. all right here we go it's warm, yeah? carol dinner it's warm isn't it? yeah it's a good temperature never thought i'd be swimming with  piranhas, i didn't think it was an option yeah this is an awesome spot to stay  in though, look at this cool little lodge okay so it started raining and  the birds are going nuts now. yeah the maritacas, maritacas?   yeah that's the name of the name of the bird   so it's about 3 p.m now and we're  gonna head out on this boat here   this other group's already heading out. and i think  we're going to do some piranha fishing  

crocodile watching i don't know. yeah  i'm not sure about everything but yeah   we're supposed to see more botos the pink water  dolphins and also try to catch some piranhas for   dinner and something else,  i don't know we'll find out so now it's time to do the native fishing these wooden fishing rods, check this out. so we  got our bait here, what is that anyway? chicken. piranhas like chicken this is carol's first time fishing properly. yeah i have no  idea what i'm doing. yeah get a little bit of bait maybe hook it on twice, i don't know  actually maybe it's better that it dangles   all right yeah yeah leave it like that take it away all right let's see how this goes somethings already biting it. yeah it is what do i do? wait until it really pulls and then pull it up they are fighting carol got a piranha, let me see it wow, baby piranha chris got one yeah it's a big one be careful mine's bigger oh i can see it's teeth there you go check out those teeth Woah any more bites carol? no is that another one, is that a piranha? number 2 watch out with my ass. hahah wow i like the color yeah small one look at these little streams or rivers. yeah it's called igarape. this river? yeah it's like the word for it  

in portuguese. igarape, like a  stream. okay. it's an indigenous name it's been peaceful hasn't it? yeah a lot.  yeah been bird watching, kind of   hard to film them though because they're  very far away. we also saw a crocodile but   escaped really quick. crocodile another  dolphin a lot of birds yeah

this part is super quiet is that your necklace from yesterday? yeah from the  acai seeds. yeah that we bought on yesterday's tour it's still weird swimming  where the piranhas are. yeah somebody's cold now, so  it's about 6 30 now night time   as you can see. and we're going crocodile  hunting well not literally hunting, but yeah   we're gonna go looking for crocodiles in the boat  again so yeah late night river cruise for crocodiles so it's about 8:30 p.m and we're already gonna try  and go to bed because we've got to wake up extra   early tomorrow before 5 a.m which is something  that we haven't done in ages, i don't remember   the last time we did that. so yeah gonna go to  bed right now. i didn't mention that this place  

doesn't have any internet so yeah it's like a real  place to disconnect ,there doesn't seem to be like   television internet or anything so once the  sun goes down there isn't actually that much to do   anyway. you can hang out in the restaurant area, get  some drinks and stuff but that's about it. so that makes it even better for us to try and go to  sleep early. and we're just having such an amazing   time here in the amazon, it's everything that we  expected and even more. it's just so wild here

all the wildlife everywhere, everywhere you go  you can just hear sounds all the time, some sorts of   animals jumping around, out of the water, out of  the trees. just stuff going on everywhere, it   really is incredible. so hopefully you like these  videos so far there are more videos coming from   here in the amazon rainforest so stay tuned for  those. drop a like on this video to support   us subscribe like see more videos like this  follow us on instagram and we'll see in the next
