I Visited a Self Sustaining Amazon Village! (Brazil Amazon River Cruise)

[@brunoeflor]

I'm from Rio de Janeiro, I've been to a lot of places in Brasil and also abroad but I've never been in the Amazonia. Waching your videos, i really feel like it now. Thanks for motivating a Brazilian to get to know more of his own country.

[@flaviaoliveira3828]

You're right. Sometimes when a foreigner mentions Amazônia for us we get offended, like is so far away, and it's not like Brasil is just Amazônia. But we need to start recognizing how beautiful is our country and how we should explore all this beauty.

[@matheuslanerre2895]

Engraçado, um gringo tem que vir ao Brasil e falar que é bom, para o próprio brasileiro gostar daqui. Crise de vira-lata é foda.

Se fosse só você! Quase todo brasileiro pensa assim, uma pena, não sabem o que perdem! A Amazônia é incrível

Fun fact: urucum (the lipstick seeds thing) is used to make a food coloring known in english as annatto, and is used as a die in the famous Red Leicester cheddar cheese and all kinds of processed foods. In Brazil it's normally dried, crushed into a powder, and mixed with corn or wheat flour that turns into a food condiment known as colorau, that is used to make dishes more colorful and appetizing. The índios (Brazilian natives) traditionally use it as body paint.

[@CampeaodeOfertas]

urucum is used to make food too, if you search for a ingredient called coloral you will see.

[@tinhosildo]

The native Brazilians were actually the people who invented tapioca and other products based in the manioc/cassava root, I think it was their main source of carbs.

[@alexbone1031]

Hello my friend, I am brazilian since I was born... hahaha, and our main source of carbs is rice and wheat

@@alexbone1031 Hi, I'm Brazilian too. :D When I said "native Brazilians" I was referring to the indigenous people from Brazil. Don't know If I used the correct terminology.

[@elimdd]

We call it 'mandioca', 'aipim' or 'macaxeira' depending on the location in Brazil. You guys should try it fried (almost like french fries). It's delicious.

[@bobguenther6658]

So glad you guys did this excursion. I follow other bloggers that I’m sure you know and I think you are the only ones that have done this. Such an educational video for me and really appreciate you filming this. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@jonatanzuque7267]

Nossa, incrível o que vocês estão fazendo! Mostrando as belezas do meu país sem usar os esteriótipos que pelos quais infelizmente somos conhecidos em outros países. Divirtam-se! E muito obrigado!

[@southhemispheretv7353]

Comentário em português. Parabéns.

[@CaioEvertonTB]

I started watching your videos to have a different perspective on my own country but now I'm hooked by your magnetic presence, each in your own unique way. It's so fascinating and relaxing to see a little bit of your trips! I love your style, editing, content, the whole thing. I'm a fan! :D

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

The best complement EVER!!!! Thank you 😊

[@barrythemod]

Looks like you had another great day. How can we tell? Because you're smiling from ear to ear all the way through :-)

[@MOTHblank]

Slightly scary smile

[@walkingwithsteve0583]

Kiaora from New Zealand. Enjoying this series. Slightly laid back and different than your usual. Good to see the diary style method and that you're both clearly relaxing and enjoying the trip. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@rebeccaoakes5270]

Approximately 680 videos binge watched and liked...need more way away! :) So glad I found y'all and can't wait to see the adventures to come!! God bless and hello from Tennessee!

[@SetCCC]

This is going on my list of places to go. The boat tour looks SO FUN! Combines everything I love..adventure, comfort, boat, water and learning. Thank you for sharing this!!

[@igorlira7330]

I am Brazilian from Fortaleza. I've watched all your Brazil videos and I loved so much.It's so inspiring! Now I am in France studying and it's so nice to see my country I miss so much and now I am really inspired to visit these places you have been to. I think your work it is amazing, your videos are highly quality and you are getting to know places that 95% brazilians will never know. You are really visiting paradises! Thank you very much for your videos and I will follow you guys. The thing I most miss in Brazil is Acai, so enjoy it because I cant find anywhere in Europe haha. Sorry my english.

[@justinamelody2850]

Thank you for showing different side of Brazil in the Amazons and seeing people live and animals. This is awesome great vlog.

[@ChemistryAtomistic]

I’m so glad to see guys like you here in Brazil! Thank you for coming!

[@naturegirl8104]

Spectacular video. I spent a week in the Peruvian Amazon yrs ago. Thanks for bringing the memories back & scenes of Brazil's Amazon.

[@alexbone1031]

Thank you for visiting my country, you are always welcome

[@AdrianoSilva-kz3lq]

Amazing Amazon.

[@ragingelch5042]

What a great location, self sustainability is such an important concept, far to few people are willing and capable to try it. This is, at least in some aspects, what real anarchism could look like, despite what people usually associate with that term!

[@icygood101]

I definitely agree about sustainability and preservation. But then, if you have these goals I don't think anarchism is the way to go. You can't trust freely associated people to all selflessly and sporadically stop overexploiting nature. Regulations and the like depend on state power. Moreover, that community is helped by the government and is bolstered by other communities which largely depend on government structures, e.g. the doctors that work there come from other places and likely went to government-funded colleges, they trade with other places. Anarchist principles have some allure but they can't be applied universally in a modern, functioning society.

Seeing dolphins never gets old

[@adw2010able]

Make sure when in New Zealand, go up to the Bay of Islands and go on the full day cruise around the bay, dolphin sightings hopefully included.

[@filipehenry4340]

Fantastico! Sou Brasileiro e nunca estive na Amazonia... obrigado pelo carinho ao qual vocês estão mostrando e sentindo em nossa terra! Thank you guys!!

[@FreedomStrider]

In the Amazon, the rivers ARE the roads, it's like a much larger much greener Venice with more monkeys :P

[@gleisacampos1162]

So awsome. I'm so glad that you guys are having a great time in my country. I've never had the oportunity to go to the Amazon, but that still is a plan for me, maybe one day. I take this oportunity to invite you to visit The Lençóis Maranheneses National Park it is in Maranhão state, you'd love it. Can't wait for the next video.

[@dwalker6868]

Another fantastic day love the river cruising

[@ValmirdeBarrosAlves]

I am Brazilian and I loved this series that you made from the trip that you made from Brazil, I hope you enjoyed it and always come back

[@pedropimentel5627]

I lived in Brazil for 2/3 of my life, and you guys are teaching more about those parts of the country than I learned when I was there. so COOL!

[@fernandar.silveira3872]

I watched your first video in Sao Paulo, my city! Then Rio and Amazon now...Brazil is really amazing and you've showed a lot of great things that we have in here. Congrats and enjoy!! I am gonna follow you guys on Instagram :)

It is common safety practice to immediately fry the mouth shut of a piranha after you catch it, and then immediately put it in your belly!!! :) Great videos you guys, they keep getting better and better!!!

[@TomandMonica1]

I just stumbled upon your site this morning while looking into a full screen photo of the Belogradchik fortress that popped up on my Windows 10 opening screen. Somehow the search progressed to your video. I have to compliment you on the overall quality of your technical and personal presentation. Appealing in all respects. I found your gear list insightful and honest. All in all a well done model for the genre.

[@guez5488]

Guyssss you cant leave without going to the lençóis maranhenses!!! It's one of the biggest touristic points in brazil

[@brazil4every110]

The orange thing that you did put on your lips is Urucum and it's the same thing that gave the Moqueca (the dish you ate back in Rio, with your friends) that strong orange color. The powder of Urucum that is used in the kitchen is called 'Coloral'. It doesn't add flavor, just color.

[@larissaguedesofc]

Hey guys, I’ve been loving your videos. I’m from São Paulo and I’ve been living in Toronto Canada for 6 six years, I miss my country so much and watching you gives me such a wonderful feeling. I can’t wait to be back home and visit all these amazing places. Hope you are enjoying your stay in Brazil ❤️

[@ronpinto9588]

What you call manioc is actually called "mandioca" which means, in the Tupy-Guarani language of the Brazilian Indians, "mandi" = bread and "oca" = house, or bread of the house, and it is the very base of the Indian nutrition chain, like the corn was for the American natives.

[@elimdd]

Waiting the next video. It is so nice to view an outside perspective of our country. We sometimes take things for granted and don't give much value to how beautiful and rich is our territory.

A semente vermelha é chamada URUCUM e é usada por alguns índios para tingir a pele além de outros elementos usados nas roupas e adornos. Quando o Urucum é misturado a óleo e fubá, vira o Colorau que é usado como tempero para dar cor a alguns pratos típicos.
