okay we're going inside the bigger cave
hiking around it's quiet it's a big drop
we're still waking up we woke up at around 6. that doesn't seem that early
for most people we went to bed nearing 3am so that's why it's a little rough for us right now
so we got about three hours of sleep we have a lot of driving to do today but it's going to be
worth it because this place looks out of this world we're going on an expedition we heard
the roads are not the greatest so it'll be an adventure but today i found some uh so that is
my main thing that i ate in the morning and then tapioca with cheese perfect start to morning
so the next four days we are hanging out in the state of tocantines we flew into palmas city
this is a very unexpected last part of our trip we're going to go to manaus on the amazon however
the covet situation is really bad there so they're in a lockdown our flights got canceled there and
we thought it probably wasn't a good idea to go an opportunity to go to java pal came up and we could
not pass it up so we're really excited last night really late we flew into the palmas airport in
tokantines we are planning to explore the state park of jalapao so the best way to do
that is to fly into palmas and basically take a road trip into the state park
all right this is our ride he was telling us about it and this is one of the best uh cars and truck
to bring to this area the roads are very difficult
so a lot of people get stuck when they go here but we have one that shouldn't get stuck
okay we just got to a restaurant this restaurant is the most
out in the middle of nowhere restaurant i think we've ever been to we've been on
a dirt road heading to this restaurant for about 30 to 40 minutes it feels like there's
nothing else down here it's just the road to the restaurant for like half an hour and
the roads are some of the worst we've seen yet so the whole time your head's just like
so we're finally here uh we think it's it's very traditional brazilian so it's like chicken meat
beans rice we'll show you when we get it food first and then we're going to a beautiful lagoon
we got to pick what we wanted bit of a buffet style so rice beans a little bit of salad some
farofa and beans some chicken beef and yucca it looks like and then this i'm not sure what it is
yet did you get any no let's try it it's a yellow couscous looking thing with some green onions
yeah it's pretty good it's it's spicy it's farofa with the
when you cook the chicken you got the water we don't want to eat too much because we're
going back on the bumpy road don't want to get sick okay we just arrived to lagoa japanese
this is supposed to be one of the most beautiful parts here
we're getting our first look at japanese
the water looks like glass this photo here is beautiful it's so clear it's so clear it doesn't
look like there's water there you can see the bottom wow this is beautiful okay we're about
to get into this beautiful water hopefully we can show you more of the color of it underneath
we're gonna kind of bring the gopro under and then hopefully from up there as well it's hard
to tell in the camera right now but we'll try to get some different angles apparently you
have to wear flip-flops in here because there are some very very sharp rocks at the bottom
because of the rain we can't see a ton right now so you can only see it while you're under so
we wish we brought uh snorkeling stuff so we could see under there and swim
under there so we're gonna have to wait for the rain to clear but this is really nice and the
rocks are very sharp i work flip flops but you have to still be careful they can really get you
you guys said it in another video tarzan and jane we are actually hanging on this vine here
with a cave behind us
that is pretty cool
we're gonna go into the cave now i hope there are no bats in here
that's crazy it goes way back there and way back there inside the cave
well
we have seen some very clear water here in brazil and this is one of the top two clearest waters
that we have seen you can see everything just from right here everything for in the whole place i can
see the rocks i can see the rocks of the fish way over there that is crazy and this was all formed
naturally so the water came up from the ground and formed this not a lot of people know about jell-o
pow so i have a feeling in a few years it's going to be one of the top tour spots in brazil we're
seeing it before it gets really really discovered trying to show you guys some hidden gems while we
still can because if you see this video in two years i have a feeling this is going to be very
famous yeah and there will be a lot of people here so far we've seen one cave entrance but there's a
bigger one that we're on our way to now and that's supposed to be even more incredible than that one
pretty blue looking we're outside the
bigger cave now look at the color of the water it's just getting bluer and bluer as you go inside
see that tree up there those are roots of the tree going
all the way down through the cave right here to the water
okay we're going inside the bigger cave
here is a big stone we are in the back of the cave as far as we can see before the light
goes totally out all right look how crazy this water is it's about to get illuminated
wow that's incredible
oh
look at that cave
you can get in there but i prefer to swim under it
i'm having way too much fun at this water when water is salt free
and you can see under there there's nothing like that
this is unfiltered footage that is the real genuine color of this place
this place was awesome but now we get to go to pedra furada it is rock with a hole so
a big uh stone formation with a hole in it sounds pretty cool it's apparently the best at sunset but
i don't know how are we going are we going for sunset
yeah okay okay we're going for sunset so we'll see it when it's at its best say goodbye to this water
you guys know that we always love to send the drone up but unfortunately we cannot
do that because there is a big big nest of bees african bees i think he said and when
they hear the sound of the drone they think it's other bees and they come home and sting people
i'm glad we heard about that that is a good reason to have a guide because i would have just
taken the drone up if we didn't have a guide and gotten everyone here hurt so that's pretty crazy
and we saw the hive it was like real big yeah right at the cave so yeah good we avoided a crisis
okay we just arrived to pedra furada it is this giant red rock that apparently has a hole in it
we don't really know much more than that at this point we'll probably find out more once we get
up there all we see right now is a massive rock in the middle of nothing there are a couple of
other huge rocks that jut out in the middle of a landscape that is just extremely flat so kind of
just happens out of nowhere just boom this big old rock here so pretty cool it's very orange and red
our very own cave wow
so the structure is made out of sand or sandstone i'm guessing
and beautiful colors it's like a red like maroon kind of color and then like
whites we were instructed not to touch it it's very tempting to touch though
because it just falls apart when you touch it in the sand like sandstone does but yeah if you
look there are a lot of little details on all these different color variations in the stone
this is the hole the famous hole of the rock formed by rain and wind
and you can hear some sparrows up there
oh it's a parrot hi bud that does not look like it belongs here hello
there is a parrot there as green as parrots can be and it's on this big red orange rock i didn't
know that parrots lived here oh there's another one hello they're all over us all over around us
so that is why we can't take the drone up it'll scare them away
they're like all over there wow
can you hear that we're walking around the other side and there are a ton of them and
they're extremely loud their nests must be all in this cliffs right here
we were wondering why we couldn't drone and now we know why we don't want to disrupt the parrot
i wish we could show you better but they are green and there's a lot of
greenery on the cliff face so you can't really see them too much in the camera
but in person you can see all of them there are many
we are approaching hole number two three and four we didn't know there was gonna be this many holes
they're not cleft rocks we didn't know there was gonna be this many holes in this rock formation
and this many parrots look it's the sister to this one
okay
it's a big drop
now we're just gonna sit here for a moment and take in this view it's not only this one
rock formation that's here as you can see there are ones in the distance
as well there are a handful of them some are more like plateaus and some are rocks like this that
jut out so this is not the only one but i think it's probably the only one that's really visited
okay we really like this place this place was better than we expected something about
those parrots everywhere and the noises they're making and
they're just like these bright green parrots on the sides of these red cliffs it's pretty awesome
