So we are staying in the coolest place ever.
We have just arrived at the Treehouse Lodge in the middle of the Amazon jungle.
And we're going to be living in a tree house for the next few days.
So come along and I'm going to show you our personal private treehouse.
This way.
Around the tree trunk.
Come up.
And our favorite part is closing the door.
Yes, no one else is allowed in.
Just the two of us.
There we go.
So now it is time for the grand tour.
So this is the bed.
I feel like I'm on an episode of MTV cribs.
This is the bed.
Check it out.
Mosquito net.
Nice and big.
It kind of has a jungle theme with the pillows.
We've kind of already made it messy.
We have a chocolate we haven't had yet.
And we have a little living area.
That is all of our luggage.
Tada.
And what else can we show you?
The bathroom.
There is no door to the bathroom.
And guys just look at this tree trunk.
I'm like going around it here.
Yeah.
There we go.
So we've got out toilet on this side.
A little glass sink.
And then our shower stall.
Just on the other side.
That is pretty cool.
And we're living in a tree house!
We're living in a treehouse!
Every kids dream.
Yes.
So, status update.
Okay, well we want to show you more of the property but right now we're about to head
out on a jungle walk.
We're going to be looking for medicinal plants and learning about their uses.
It also just started pouring rain so that is going to be interesting.
But anyways let's get going.
We need to go.
Go go go.
Let's open our door.
Open the trap door.
Open sesame.
Open the trapdoor.
That's heavy.
Scary.
So it is time for our jungle expedition.
And we have to cross this bridge to get back to the main area.
Right over here.
Let's go meet our guide.
So Sam, you look like you're ready for a jungle excursion.
Show us your footwear.
I've got a surprise.
Check this out.
Da Doh.
He's ready.
And this is probably the most awkward jig because these are about three times too big
for me.
Same here.
I'm wearing 44 for me.
It'll be fun.
We'll make use of it.
So this is the tallest tree house of the property.
Wow!
What have you got in your hand Audrey?
So this is pichirina.
Apparently it is the jungle's iodine.
And to me it smells like mango.
(Speaking Spanish.)
Si, no.
To treat ringworm.
Ringworm.
So you just rub it?
You use it.
Look.
Oh.
Look.
Put it.
And here is the leaf that is used to make the Juane.
The traditional food from the Amazon jungle here in Peru.
This here is the blood mushroom.
As you can see it is red.
And it is not edible guys.
So don't you go eating it.
Whistle for us.
So we are back from the jungle excursion.
Yeah, that jungle walk was awesome.
We learned so much about all of the different local plants and what they are used for in
terms of different medicinal properties and also for food.
And now we're off on a cool boat trip.
We're just going to be cruising down the Amazon and looking for pink dolphins.
Yes and maybe we'll stick around for sunset too.
We'll see.
So here is our sweet ride.
The captain.
Capitano.
Senor Andres.
Macau look!
Squak.
So we just spotted a sloth up in the tree.
We wouldn't have seen it if it wasn't for our guide though.
And this is sunset on the Amazon river.
So that is the end of day one.
How are you feeling about sleeping in this tree house?
It is awesome.
I love the room.
Um, we're exhausted.
We had a really really busy day.
We sure did.
A lot of adventure.
And tomorrow we're really looking forward to showing you more of the property and also
doing a couple more tours as well.
So another busy day ahead.
Can't wait for that to happen.
Goodnight.
Time to crawl into bed.
Crawl into your little net.
There it is.
Hahaha.
Goodnight little one.
Well, good morning it is the start of day two and it was sure raining last night.
Like thunderstorms, the whole deal.
But that really added to the atmosphere.
So anyways, we're going to go for breakfast and because it is wet I'm not sure what we
can do this morning but hopefully we can get out and do a couple excursions.
So it is 9 am and we are back on the water and it is a beautiful morning to be out.
We're going to try and spot some wildlife.
Ooh!
We found something.
Oh wow.
We went out for a little excursion this morning and we've been traveling upstream and now
we've arrived at a prime location to fish piranhas.
So Sam, how are you feeling about that?
Feeling good because you're going to stick your fingers in and they're going to bite
them, right?
What?
Just kidding we actually have fishing rods.
And there is the bait.
I don't wanna use my fingers.
Hahahaha.
So we've going to use this small fish.
Oh!
To feed the piranha.
You want to try to splash the water.
That is the way how to attract the piraña.
Splashing the water.
Calling the piranha.
Come over!
Okay, so I'm going try my hand at fishing for piranhas.
I've got the bait here.
Right here.
Let's do this.
Oh oh.
I feel a tug.
No they just ate half the fish.
They ate half of the fish.
Yeah!
Oh look we got our first one.
Look at that.
Our first piraña.
Look at the teeth on that sucker.
Oh my gosh I would not want to be bitten by one of those.
What do you think Audrey?
That is scary.
Looks like something out of a horror movie.
Yeah, oh no.
Hahahaha.
Almost.
You got one!
Show it to us.
I finally caught one.
It was a big one too.
Film it.
I am.
Grab it from here.
Wow!
It is not going to move.
Don't worry.
Wow!
Check this out.
There you go.
Sam's first piranha.
Look at that.
Probably my 20th attempt and I was not going to give up until I got one.
There it is.
Congratulations.
There is dinner.
So mission accomplished.
Time to head back for lunch but we're going to be having these for dinner.
So that is pretty exciting.
So we just came back.
Now it is time for lunch.
So what are we having?
We are having ceviche.
Our favorite as an appetizer.
Wow, look at that.
The corn of course.
Oops.
Dig right in.
There we go.
Have a nice big piece.
Mmmmm.
Is that some good ceviche?
Mmmmm.
Try it.
So we are about to go on one more excursion this evening but before we head out we want
to show you the rest of the property.
So let's go in search of some tree houses.
This way.
We are now entering the bamboo forest.
So Sam I think you lucked out with our tree house because we only have to cross one bridge.
Yeah but that bridge is kind of freaky for me.
I think I would prefer the stairs.
That is really only the difference between these two places.
Also think this treehouse is higher up than ours too.
Oh, vertigo!
Wow!
Oh!
Are they fighting?
Yeah.
Squack.
Alright, so Sam is going to feed a monkey.
Yes, I've got my chunk of banana.
Now time to throw it.
Let's see your best baseball swing.
So right now we are trekking through the mud in search of giant lily pads.
As you can probably hear it is pretty squishy.
So we are meeting a sloth that was apparently rescued by a family when it was really young.
So it lives with them in the house and it is very sleepy and slow.
So oh, but it has woken up.
It is eating.
Pablito?
Pablito.
Pablito!
Pablito is having lunch.
Pablito.
While he is thinking about it anyway.
Are you going to eat Pablito?
Check those out.
Okay so this morning we went fishing for piranha and now we are having it for dinner.
And that is the big one I caught.
Yeah, Sam got the big one.
The grande.
So how are we going to dig into this?
Begin.
Hahaha.
So it came served in an orange.
A little bit of meat.
That is surprisingly decent.
Yeah?
Yeah.
There doesn't appear to be a whole lot of meat there.
No there is not.
