[@MichaelSchneiderTexas]

When we went to Tena this summer , we didnt get to go deep in the jungle because we didnt have enough time, but still amazing place. The Peruvian amazon has much larger trees as large as tall buildings and super wide also.

[@fabricior2635]

🚨 Important: Peru usurped that part of Amazon from Ecuador in year 1942. That jungle is on the eastern side of Ecuador. Todos los rios de la region Amazonica ecuatoriana (o Region Oriental) desembocan en el Rio Marañon y en el Rio Amazonas. El Rio Napo desemboca directamente en el Rio Amazonas. (Es la Ruta del Descubrimiento del Rio Amazonas que partio de la ciudad de Quito a Cargo de Francisco de Orellana en el año 1542). *El Rio Marañon y el Rio Amazonas nacen o se generan de los deshielos de los Andes Ecuatorianos.* (En un mapa se puede confirmar lo que digo). El Ecuador en el año 1941 estaba desarmado belicamente y el Peru lo invadio militarmente y le usurpo ENORME cantidad de territorio Amazonico y el Ecuador perdio la salida al Marañon y al Rio Amazonas. El territorio Usurpado al Ecuador el Peru lo llamo Departamento de Loreto.

[@ivanrojel9490]

how important it is that people like you care about our country, and it doesn't matter to most of those who run our country, rich in everything and I don't understand why it doesn't stand out from the rest, Peru

[@MichaelANelson]

Hey guys. Spectacular. Those drone shots were just amazing. Your enthusiasm is contagious. I have a 500mm zoom lens I plan to use for trips like that but heck how do you carry all the specialized equipment. Do you load down Sarah? Or does Eric carry it all lol. Your best video todate. Congratulations

[@EricandSarah]

Thanks Mike!! I’m sure you will take AMAZING photos with that zoom lens! We have an entire bag dedicated just to electronics 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽 Most of it ends up on Eric’s back. Thankfully we travel with a pretty small drone and camera body so it’s not as bad as it could be!

[@MichaelANelson]

@@EricandSarah curious what laptop do you use to edit and produce your videos?

[@EricandSarah]

@@MichaelANelson Great Question! We both use Asus Laptops. One is an Asus Ultrabook, and the other is a 2-in-1 Vivobook. Respectively, i5 and i7 chip, 8GB and 12GB RAM, 237GB and 500GB SSD hard drives. We use Premiere Pro to edit and we make sure the Media Caches are deleted after 7 days of use so it doesn't have to use so much power to store caches. We use HDD External hard drives, but our workflow would probably be faster if we used SSD External Hard drives. They are more expensive, but way faster!

Hi guys just found your channel, we are going to Costa Rica in a couple of weeks, but already planning the next trip, so Equador Amazon and Galapagos next, so will be folliwing in your footsteps. Keep the vids coming, loving them , well done. What camera and lens are you using for video and are you hand holding them as its really smooth.

[@EricandSarah]

So awesome! Glad you found our channel. In this video we only had our Canon m50 (APS-C) with a kit lens (15-45) and Canon EF 55-250mm. We handhold everything! The key is sliding movements in one direction.

Thank you! You’re too sweet ☺️ We surprisingly didn’t get eaten by bugs in the Amazon! Our guide said there was enough breeze and squirrel monkeys around Cuyabeno lodge to keep the mosquitos minimal. I think time of year probably made a big difference as well.
