Amazon rainforest adventure travel in Peru at Jungle Treehouse Lodge

Come join us for an epic travel adventure in the Peruvian Amazon. While staying at the Treehouse Lodge in the Amazon rain forest we had the opportunity to experience what it was like to live in a treehouse for the first time in our lives and partake a series of adventure travel excursions including fishing for piranhas, meeting friendly sloths, spotting all kinds of jungle wildlife native to the Amazon and feeding monkeys. We show you the entire experience from Amazon river cruise to feasting on ceviche to sleeping overnight in the tree house lodge.
A special thanks to Rainforest Cruises for hosting our trip!

Amazon rainforest adventure travel in Peru at Jungle Treehouse Lodge Travel Video Transcript:
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 tree house. And we're living in a tree house! We're living in a treehouse!
Every kids dream.
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 it is time for our jungle expedition.
So Sam, you look like you're ready for a jungle excursion.
Show us your footwear. And here is the leaf that is used to make the Juane. The traditional food from the Amazon jungle here in Peru.
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.
Macau look! 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? Awesome. A lot of adventure.
Well, good morning it is the start of day two and it was sure raining last night. Like thunderstorms, the whole deal.
We're going to try and spot some wildlife. 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?
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. Okay, so I'm going try my hand at fishing for piranhas. I've got the bait here. Right here. Let's do this. Our first piraña.
Look at the teeth on that sucker. Oh my gosh I would not want to be bitten by one of those. That is scary.
You got one! Show it to us. I finally caught one. It was a big one too.
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.
Now it is time for lunch. We are having ceviche. Our favorite as an appetizer. Wow, look at that.
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.
We are now entering the bamboo forest.
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.
So right now we are trekking through the mud in search of giant lily pads.
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 is having lunch.
Okay so this morning we went fishing for piranha and now we are having it for dinner.
This is part of our Travel in Peru video series showcasing Peruvian food, Peruvian culture and Peruvian cuisine.

You two keep learning to do more KZbin techniques over time and it shows. Get yourself a theme and format and you will do even better. I' m so impressed with your growth in the last year. Both subs and your KZbin savvy.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! We're upgraded our gear and we're spending a little more time editing as well. I think spending more time in each country, instead of running around like crazy, has really helped as well.

[@powrslave]

You guys getting old!

Haha, time doesn't stop ticking. You'll get there too. ;)

[@josephrobinson5952]

Wow what a face that sloft had . He looked like he was high on something hahaha :)

[@AlainTrentini]

Such a cool place to stay :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! It was easily one of the coolest accommodations we've ever had :)

[@AlainTrentini]

That says a lot coming from you guys, cos I know you have been in tons of places :) Love your channel a lot. Hope you can go on for a few decades more :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! I hope we can as well :)

[@MiaRosenbloom]

That's awesome, but the tree house is so open! I'd be afraid of climbing jungle cats, snakes, spiders, fire ants, etc. I'd need to be in a solid, enclosed house.

[@GBaboo]

Hey! Great video! Im pretty much following all of your videos and it seems that you guys had a really fun time! I am also thinking about staying at Tree House lodge. I was wondering about how you felt about the safety and security at the lodge? Do they come pick you up from the airport in Iquitos? Is there a chance to visit the Belen Market as well??

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We ended up getting picked up at our hotel in Iquitos as we were already visiting independently for a few days. I'd imagine they'd do airport pickups but not sure entirely.

[@angelescorpio88]

Its a every kid dream... ;)

[@samuelandaudrey]

LOL, yeah it sure is! :)

[@evogardens]

Hi Guy's, Fun video. Cool tree house ! Audrey, was Sam a Tarzan......or more of a George, George, George, of the jungle, WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE ! Ha Ha. Jim.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Jim! Definitely more like a George of the Jungle...LOL

[@mdspeedy2001]

What type of luggage did you take knowing you were going to be in a treehouse lodge and then a river cruise?? PS did you bring lots of bug repellent? If so , what type.Bugs like me a lot! especially mosquitos !! Ok...forgot..more items: Binoculars and headlight gear for night walks?? Thankyou!

[@hrain6223]

Great vid! Thanks for sharing... do you by any chance remember what number treehouse you stayed in? Was it noisey being by the river (boats etc?)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! I forget the number but it honestly didn't appear to be noisy anywhere on the property.

[@plcanadahk1]

hi guys, i love your vdos keep it up! Just wanted to check if you had to choose, do you prefer the Amazon cruise or the lodge? I am planning a trip and would appreciate your thoughts....thanks.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Wow! Honestly both. But I suppose it was our first river cruise, so maybe we'd choose that one over the other.

[@traveltogether301]

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks!

[@davissicode]

[@perugugic]

Hey guys, it's been years since you posted this video but in case you see it I would like to ask you what a trip like this would cost if one was to stay in the highest lodge for 3 days and also go on the tours?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Sorry we honestly forget Peter.
