(Crowd yelling)
(Soft music)
(Crowd cheering)
(Soft Folk music)
- [Mike] Alright, we stopped for lunch
and had a nice little sandwich.
There's a lot of fish in the river here
and the guys took an old mosquito net
and turn it into a fishing net
and look what they caught.
(pause)
Some sand and a bunch of little fish.
(fire burning)
(Speaks in Spanish) Costaba con pescado, see.
Juntos, together.
Here we go.
A little chewy.
Want a fish?
(pause)
Take that out and it's pretty good.
A million skipping stones,
and amazing mountian.
(water bubbling)
Alright, so the water is not perfect, beautiful blue
like it is in the Caribbean,
but understand for a second,
we are not in the Caribbean.
We are in, very close to the Amazon Rainforest.
And just like the beautiful tea you drink, for tea time.
It stains the water with the tannins brown,
exactly what happens here,
as well in this part of the world.
The leaves, just give me a moment,
are all very very dark brown
and so when they sit, yeah red brown,
sit in the water for a long time, it turns this color.
It looks like a giant jungle tea.
Doesn't taste good, though.
Not at all.
(soft music)
(speaking Spanish)
(chopping wood)
- [Mike] (speaking Spanish) - (speaking Spanish)
- [Mike] They use it to hunt, so
the blow darts.
Wow.
This is where they ferment it in here.
- [Man] Yeah. - [Mike] Yeah.
And that is what's next on the menu.
Cachiri? - [Man] Chachiri.
- Cachiri.
- This smells okay, the perfect music for it.
- [lexie] Is this the alcoholic one?
- So this is Cachiri
which is the fermented yucca root
and they turn into a beer.
Smell it
- It smells sour. - It smells sour.
Who's going to be the first one to have a sip?
- Definitely you. - Me?
Whoa!
Have a sip and then we'll talk about it.
(Mike laughing)
- Yikes.
- [Mike] It's chunky right? - Yeah.
- It's almost like-
- It's definitely fermented. - It's definitely fermented.
- One hundred percent - It's got a funky aftertaste.
- What's happening there. - It's a really sharp taste,
and it's almost like you blended,
like poorly blended a fruit shake, right?
- That was not ripe yet.
- Yeah, yeah.
(Woman speaking Spanish)
- Yeah?
Oh, wow.
Perfecto, Gracias.
Look, want to see how many seeds there are?
(soft folk music)
It's good though.
(soft laughing)
(children singing)
(speaking Spanish) (cheering)
Okay, unexpected adventure starting right now.
We finished our amazing day in Canaima National Park,
seeing Salto Angel, Angel Falls.
We just arrived back to our hotel in Canaima City
and there's a party happening in the auditorium
which I thought was the meal hall.
The kids were singing choir songs.
The kids have now since gone home and we're partying
with the Fighter Jet Pilots, the military.
Venezuelan military pilots here
in Canaima National Park (laughing).
(Spanish music) (loud cheering)
[Mike] Right now,
myself and como te llamas?
- Irr-gui-erra-
- [Mike] Irr-gui-erra are airdropping Angel Falls photos
back and forth from each other.
He liked my drone shots and I like his shots
from his F-16 fighter jet (laughing)
that he took flying by there.
So we're airdropping back and forth
so I can put the videos
into this video and he can use my drone shots
for whatever he feels necessary
because I don't think my drone shots
even compare to an F-16 fighter jet shot over the top,
but I'm not complaining, I'll take the footage.
- [Man] (speaking Spanish).
(Jet engine roaring)
- [Mike] Oh my God.
Wow.
(Pause)
That's incredible.
- If you want I can send it through WhatsApp
(background Spanish conversation)
- Lexie's getting Reggeaton dance lessons.
(Reggeaton music)
(crowd cheering in Spanish)
(Clapping)
- [Mike] Crocodile teeth maybe?
What is this?
(Speaking in Spanish) Es picante, chiles?
- Si.
- [Mike] Es muy picoso?
- [Mike] Es picante, muy picante (coughing).
Este mas picante? - Si.
- [Mike] Entonces, una botella de naranja, por favor.
Cuanto cuesta? - Cinco dolares.
- [Mike] Cinco dollars.
Puedo pagar en soberanos?
Quinientos si?
One bottle of hot sauce for one fistful of money.
Five US dollars.
Okay we're back at the Canaima Airport
at the end of our Journey
and we remember seeing this map in the very beginning.
It's the map of the Canaima National Park.
A very loud game of Dominoes happening behind me now.
We started here and where's Angel Falls?
- [Lexie] Here. - Right here.
So we took our boat ride was literally from Laguna Canaima
just to right here and look how big this is.
We've seen that much. Just that small, little corner.
We're going to jump on one of these planes
in just one second, meet my friend Sandy,
meet our friend Pablo in Puerto Ordaz
and then go to Lecheria,
which apparently is suppose to be quite beautiful
and we'll end our adventure there.
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
- I don't want to go.
- (singing) Standing here outside the door.
Hate to say--hello?
No.
Hate to say- - [Lexie] Adios?
- Now time to say goodbye
cause we're leaving
on a jet plane.
Don't know when I'll be back, again.
We'll be back in about an hour.
No it's like forty minutes.
Oh, the pilot needs by.
We'll give him a minute.
Bueno.
(Pause)
Hey everybody!
Welcome to the end of episode III of our Venezuela Series.
We're going to keep going, one take.
One take wonder.
This episode we had some fun adventures.
My favorite adventure, Venezuelan Air Force.
I didn't quite see you there when we ate the fish.
Where'd you go for that segment of the video?
- I might of opted out of the little fish eating.
- The whole bony fish?
- The whole thing yeah (laughing), the whole thing.
I tried the drink though and that was so good.
- It was better than- the fish was actually okay.
The drink was a little bit strong (laughing).
- A lot of protein in those fish.
- So tell me about your favorite part of the episode.
- Well I have never really interacted
with too many Latino people (laughing)
in that type of environment before
where everyone is partying.
- They love to party.
- That was such an interesting experience for me
and especially in the beginning
when we were hearing the children sing
and everyone was
was speaking about something.
I don't speak Spanish so I was a bit confused
about why there was so much energy
and emotion in the room.
I've never been in a room full of people
that are tearing up
and grown men holding back
like sobs. - Yeah.
- I've never seen anything like that before.
- And for myself, Lexie doesn't speak Spanish,
I understand some Spanish
and so I was just listening
and I wasn't saying anything to her
because I was so focused on what they were saying.
And basically like you saw in the video,
they were basically, they were there,
the Air Force was doing a tour.
The village organized the kids
but the whole point of the tour of the Air Force
was to be like,
"Listen times are rough right now in Venezuela.
I know we're having difficulties
but together, if we stay together,
we can do it."
They were like, "this is my Venezuela!"
and everyone was crying,
and I'm getting goosebumps now just thinking about it
and I had to fill her in after.
People were squeezing each other's hands.
It was so beautiful.
- All of them we're such amazing people.
They were so welcoming (laughing),
especially with their drinks - And how was having?
How was having every single Latino guy
in the entire place line up to dance with you?
- (laughing) It was pretty great
because I am not a good dancer
as you might have picked up form this video.
It was great having all of these men
just try to manipulate my body around
and I was just so clumsy (laughing) the entire time.
It was a lot of fun.
So thanks for watching guys.
