Into the Amazon - Manu National Park (S3:E70)

Published 2024-07-05
Reluctantly leaving their Africa Twin in Cusco, Chad & Rose join an "organized" tour into Manu National Park & Biosphere Reserve. One of the best preserved and most staunchly protected regions of the Amazon. Descending through the cloud forest and into the jungle basin, they navigate the Madre de Dios (Mother of God) river to a remote jungle lodge.

Once there, they realize they've fallen prey to a "bait and switch," and their luxury lodge is no more than a couple plywood boxes.

And they discover how much the jungle sucks. Especially at night!!

  • Having finally stumbled onto your vlogs a couple weeks ago, you guys are now mine and wife's favorite moto travel vloggers. Love your edits, a great mix of the scenery, architecture, history (those are our top three too), local life, and the hilarious antics y'all get into. Rose's overdub commentary is spot on, and just enough. So glad to find some travel vlogs that are not about "riding selfies" and endless stream of thought banter. We are still catching up through Brazil, but we'll be caught up in a week or so. Keep up the great work, stay safe.
  • @Cosmoo6208
    Thanks for the extreme adventure. What a trip! This really was an amazing experience. Glad no one was hurt, bitten, or whatever. I found it hilarious your wooden palace didn't quite look like the pictures. Rose is such a good sport with an extraordinary sense of humor. Seeing the humor in difficult situations isn't always easy. Good luck folks with your future endeavors. Love your vids.
  • Understanding the drawbacks of this kind of lifestyle i can say for sure that your trip is amazing!)
  • @andrewlong5444
    Fantastic and colourful jungle life, bet it was good to get back on the bike, Rose your a real trouper 👍
  • @RHS3
    Great stuff as always guys xx
  • It’s great to have you back, Rose. Chad May be a great biker, but narration is not his strong suit 😂 I think this is your perfect opportunity to strong arm Chad for higher fees for the superior services you bring to the channel. Thanks for a great episode guys, although I can’t wait to see you back on a bike again.
  • @gerhardkok6613
    Aqwsome as always. You might have to pack some waders next trip
  • @YoruguaenMoto
    un viaje genial !!! excelente la voz en off y la edición, saludos desde uruguay !!
  • @-W8WHAT
    As usual great work!! Loved the monkey 👍
  • @TwistedJourneys
    BRAVO!👏🤓Great job on the editing on that - Well Done! Whew!
  • @Wheels2Dirt
    Loved this episode. Your editing and storytelling really raises the bar for motovlogs. After binging on your catalog I must say that your videos only continue to get better. So it's surprising to see that your views have been tapering off. Any idea why?
  • Looked like great getaway from the scoot, and what’s with that nutty monkey, just glad he didn’t spunk you, well looks like your reunited with the Afro twin, enjoyed the bushcraft segment, look forward to what’s next. Rob U.S.
