1
00:00:06,632 --> 00:00:09,218
Got sun on my face
2
00:00:10,677 --> 00:00:13,180
Sleeping rough on the road
3
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:17,351
I'll tell you all about it
4
00:00:17,434 --> 00:00:21,939
When I get home
5
00:00:23,106 --> 00:00:25,692
Gonna roll up the sidewalk
6
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:29,238
Gonna need letting up
7
00:00:31,156 --> 00:00:33,450
Comin' round to meet you
8
00:00:34,451 --> 00:00:38,497
The long way up
9
00:00:40,415 --> 00:00:43,877
We're gonna ride 13,000 miles
through 13 countries.
10
00:00:44,461 --> 00:00:49,049
From Ushuaia, in and out of Argentina
and Chile, to the Atacama Desert,
11
00:00:49,132 --> 00:00:52,386
heading up to La Paz
before we cross Lake Titicaca,
12
00:00:52,469 --> 00:00:56,265
continuing along the Andes to Colombia,
over to Panama,
13
00:00:56,348 --> 00:01:01,019
through Central America and Mexico,
arriving in Los Angeles 100 days later.
14
00:01:02,396 --> 00:01:04,480
We're gonna give these guys video cameras,
15
00:01:04,565 --> 00:01:08,026
and they're also gonna have cameras
with microphones on their crash helmets
16
00:01:08,110 --> 00:01:09,736
so they can film themselves
as they're riding along.
17
00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:13,240
Is this a road? Oh, my God!
18
00:01:13,323 --> 00:01:15,701
A third motorcycle will travel with them,
19
00:01:15,784 --> 00:01:17,077
and on it will be Claudio, our cameraman.
20
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,289
In addition, Russ and I will travel
in two electric pickup trucks,
21
00:01:20,372 --> 00:01:21,957
along with cameramen Jimmy,
22
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,752
Anthony and Taylor,
who will also help with logistics.
23
00:01:25,836 --> 00:01:27,504
We'll be filming the guys
from the vehicles,
24
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:29,131
linking up with them at borders,
25
00:01:29,214 --> 00:01:32,176
but otherwise,
the motorcycles will be on their own.
26
00:01:44,438 --> 00:01:45,480
Copacabana.
27
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:49,693
We got here last night, and I didn't feel
very well when we arrived here.
28
00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:52,738
My glands were swollen,
and I was thinking, "Uh-oh.
29
00:01:52,821 --> 00:01:54,656
I'm bound to have picked up
some kind of bug or something."
30
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:56,158
I feel better this morning.
31
00:01:58,660 --> 00:02:01,663
We're leaving Bolivia for the last time.
Thank you, Bolivia.
32
00:02:05,542 --> 00:02:08,127
Bolivia's been so different
from Chile and Argentina.
33
00:02:08,211 --> 00:02:11,131
The culture has been very present
and very different.
34
00:02:11,215 --> 00:02:12,216
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
35
00:02:12,591 --> 00:02:14,885
Was surprised to see how far up
we've come. It's really great.
36
00:02:14,968 --> 00:02:15,969
Yeah. Brilliant.
37
00:02:20,224 --> 00:02:21,892
If you look at a map
from where we started,
38
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:23,143
we've come a long way.
39
00:02:23,227 --> 00:02:26,313
We've crossed Argentina,
and we've crossed Chile and Bolivia.
40
00:02:26,813 --> 00:02:28,232
And now we're going into Peru.
41
00:02:28,315 --> 00:02:30,776
And Peru is the home of Machu Picchu,
42
00:02:30,859 --> 00:02:33,654
and I've wanted to visit Machu Picchu
ever since I was a kid.
43
00:02:37,366 --> 00:02:40,577
Okay. Here we go. We're in Peru.
44
00:02:41,203 --> 00:02:42,371
We're heading to Puno.
45
00:02:46,792 --> 00:02:48,293
Lake Titicaca.
46
00:02:49,586 --> 00:02:52,798
At school, you know when we were kids,
we would have had such a laugh at that.
47
00:02:53,048 --> 00:02:54,049
Yeah.
48
00:02:54,132 --> 00:02:55,759
But the truth is
we're not that different now.
49
00:02:56,218 --> 00:02:57,636
No, not really.
50
00:02:58,846 --> 00:03:00,389
Some of us never grow up.
51
00:03:09,648 --> 00:03:11,233
We're both really
looking forward to Machu Picchu.
52
00:03:11,316 --> 00:03:13,986
But before then,
we've got a couple of places to visit,
53
00:03:14,069 --> 00:03:17,322
including this intriguing site
near Lake Titicaca.
54
00:03:18,115 --> 00:03:19,783
What's the scene here, Maxim?
55
00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:22,369
So, what's the scene?
So, it's an Inca site.
56
00:03:22,995 --> 00:03:25,038
-It's called Inca Uyo.
-Inca Uyo.
57
00:03:25,122 --> 00:03:27,499
Uyo... Inca obviously means Inca.
58
00:03:27,583 --> 00:03:30,377
Uyo refers to male genitals.
59
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:32,880
-Okay.
-Yeah, it's a nice way of saying it. Uyo.
60
00:03:32,963 --> 00:03:34,548
-All right.
-Cool. Okay.
61
00:03:34,631 --> 00:03:37,593
And so, it's now called
The Temple of Fertility.
62
00:03:37,926 --> 00:03:40,470
And that's how modern Peruvians view it.
63
00:03:40,888 --> 00:03:43,640
Because it's such fine stonework,
you know that it's an important structure.
64
00:03:43,932 --> 00:03:47,060
So, it would have either been a temple,
the house of a curaca,
65
00:03:47,144 --> 00:03:50,814
like an important administrative leader.
66
00:03:50,898 --> 00:03:52,983
Or it might have been somewhere
67
00:03:53,066 --> 00:03:54,985
where the Inca would stay
when you'd come and visit.
68
00:03:57,779 --> 00:04:00,657
This is where the Inca Empire originated.
69
00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:03,160
Well, believed
that it's here in Lake Titicaca.
70
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:04,244
Oh, right.
71
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:06,830
The stonework, you can see
that it's an important structure.
72
00:04:06,914 --> 00:04:10,417
Obviously, it's been destroyed mostly,
but you can see the foundations.
73
00:04:10,501 --> 00:04:13,378
People now come here
when they have fertility problems.
74
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:15,130
Do they have success?
75
00:04:15,214 --> 00:04:18,382
Yeah, they say they do.
Lots of women who've had twins claim
76
00:04:18,466 --> 00:04:21,345
that it's because they came here
and sat on one of the little mushrooms.
77
00:04:24,473 --> 00:04:26,683
You wanna get
a little bit more fertility in you?
78
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:30,437
Suck it in, Ewan.
79
00:04:33,941 --> 00:04:35,692
I didn't mean to say that.
It just came out.
80
00:04:39,154 --> 00:04:40,739
If you just take a shot of those two,
81
00:04:40,822 --> 00:04:44,076
I think that's all you have to know
about what this fertility place is like.
82
00:04:44,868 --> 00:04:46,119
Just those two over there.
83
00:04:49,164 --> 00:04:54,294
Mate, no. We don't need any of that.
I know you like me. No, no.
84
00:04:54,378 --> 00:04:55,462
We don't need that. No.
85
00:04:56,672 --> 00:04:57,589
No. No.
86
00:04:58,924 --> 00:05:00,884
No, we don't need that.
87
00:05:03,428 --> 00:05:06,056
-Oh, no. Oh, no, no.
-He's getting excited now.
88
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:10,018
Did you see how fertile I am right now?
89
00:05:11,228 --> 00:05:14,815
Did you see that dog not being able
to leave me alone? Amazing.
90
00:05:16,066 --> 00:05:18,819
It works. It absolutely works.
91
00:05:35,294 --> 00:05:36,962
Wow. There's a good view.
92
00:05:37,462 --> 00:05:38,589
Pretty cool place.
93
00:05:46,305 --> 00:05:50,225
We're heading to Cusco today,
which is 243 miles.
94
00:05:59,234 --> 00:06:02,487
Today, we are gonna go see
this condor sanctuary.
95
00:06:02,571 --> 00:06:05,991
Where they sort of rehabilitate them
and send them out into the wild.
96
00:06:06,575 --> 00:06:09,328
So this is the animal sanctuary
of Ccochahuasi.
97
00:06:09,411 --> 00:06:11,413
The Andean condor
that we can see just over there...
98
00:06:12,414 --> 00:06:14,541
-...that's our main focus right now.
-Oh, my God.
99
00:06:14,625 --> 00:06:17,669
The condor is
the world's largest flying bird
100
00:06:17,753 --> 00:06:21,173
and has huge symbolism in Peru
for health and immortality.
101
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:23,717
Now, were they brought
to you injured, these birds?
102
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:24,843
-Yes.
-They were?
103
00:06:25,302 --> 00:06:28,472
Some of them came due to the Yawar Fiesta.
104
00:06:29,181 --> 00:06:32,142
The Yawar Fiesta is a festival where...
105
00:06:32,434 --> 00:06:34,811
they tie the feet of the condor
on the back of a bull.
106
00:06:34,895 --> 00:06:37,439
And the condors...
They come out with some broken wings,
107
00:06:37,523 --> 00:06:39,066
lacerations on their feet and sometimes...
108
00:06:39,149 --> 00:06:41,068
they just break their necks.
109
00:06:41,151 --> 00:06:43,195
-Dying in the process.
-Is this because of a...
110
00:06:43,278 --> 00:06:44,363
-...traditional...
-This illegal tradition.
111
00:06:44,446 --> 00:06:47,658
The bull represents the Spanish people.
112
00:06:47,741 --> 00:06:50,035
And the condor is
the representation of the Inca.
113
00:06:50,118 --> 00:06:52,746
This is the meaning of the fight,
of the ancient times.
114
00:06:52,829 --> 00:06:54,039
So, when the bull wins,
115
00:06:54,122 --> 00:06:55,749
it means it's gonna be a bad year.
116
00:06:55,832 --> 00:06:57,918
And if the condor wins this fight,
117
00:06:58,001 --> 00:06:59,044
it's gonna be a good year.
118
00:06:59,127 --> 00:07:01,797
The people just invest in some crops.
119
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,173
This is all wrong, you know?
120
00:07:03,257 --> 00:07:05,092
Because the condor
is the one that suffers here.
121
00:07:05,175 --> 00:07:06,093
-Yeah.
-Of course.
122
00:07:08,846 --> 00:07:13,559
I never like to see
big wild animals stuck behind cages
123
00:07:13,642 --> 00:07:14,685
and behind bars.
124
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:17,521
But in this case, I guess I really believe
125
00:07:17,604 --> 00:07:20,816
they were trying to rehabilitate them
and release them if they could.
126
00:07:21,984 --> 00:07:23,694
My God, look at the size of this one.
127
00:07:24,027 --> 00:07:25,654
That was the flight of the condor.
128
00:07:25,737 --> 00:07:26,738
That was amazing.
129
00:07:31,368 --> 00:07:34,663
Those two animals are Andean geese.
130
00:07:34,872 --> 00:07:35,956
They pick a partner...
131
00:07:36,039 --> 00:07:38,625
and stay with that partner
for the rest of their lives.
132
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:41,170
The bond that they make is so strong...
133
00:07:41,253 --> 00:07:42,671
that when one of them dies,
134
00:07:42,754 --> 00:07:44,756
the other could die from the sadness.
135
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:45,883
Or even worse...
136
00:07:45,966 --> 00:07:47,467
they commit suicide.
137
00:07:47,551 --> 00:07:48,552
-Really?
-No.
138
00:07:48,635 --> 00:07:49,678
-That's right.
-Really?
139
00:07:49,761 --> 00:07:52,472
They just throw from the cliffs,
from that top part...
140
00:07:52,556 --> 00:07:54,892
and without flapping their wings,
just dive into the ground.
141
00:07:56,185 --> 00:07:57,811
-Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, my God.
142
00:07:58,312 --> 00:08:00,689
Because life's not worth living
without their partner.
143
00:08:01,106 --> 00:08:02,691
That's why they are said to be...
144
00:08:02,774 --> 00:08:05,194
a symbol of love and fidelity here.
145
00:08:05,527 --> 00:08:06,987
I think I'd be sad but...
146
00:08:07,613 --> 00:08:09,114
-You would, right?
-What? For Olly?
147
00:08:09,198 --> 00:08:11,033
-Yeah.
-Wouldn't be worth living.
148
00:08:11,450 --> 00:08:12,951
Well, exactly. So you'd just do it then.
149
00:08:13,035 --> 00:08:16,121
Well, I'm not sure
if I would throw myself off a cliff.
150
00:08:16,205 --> 00:08:17,915
I'd choose another way of doing it.
151
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:39,352
I'm beyond excited because tonight,
152
00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:41,313
we're taking the train to Machu Picchu.
153
00:08:50,364 --> 00:08:52,908
I love that old bell.
That's nice. It takes you back.
154
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:55,744
Mind the gap.
155
00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:59,414
Machu Picchu by train.
It doesn't get any better.
156
00:09:00,832 --> 00:09:03,293
But yeah,
this is specific to Machu Picchu.
157
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:05,420
A whole train just for one tourist site.
158
00:09:09,132 --> 00:09:11,593
It'll be nice to sit in a train
for a couple of hours.
159
00:09:11,677 --> 00:09:14,596
On the way to Machu Picchu. Oh, my God.
160
00:09:15,764 --> 00:09:16,765
I can't believe it.
161
00:09:17,516 --> 00:09:19,893
I had a poster on my wall
at school somewhere of it.
162
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:22,312
Used to daydream about it
when I was in class.
163
00:09:22,396 --> 00:09:23,605
I've always wanted to see it.
164
00:09:24,022 --> 00:09:25,566
I'm really, really excited about it.
165
00:09:28,735 --> 00:09:31,071
Machu Picchu sits at nearly 8,000 feet.
166
00:09:31,697 --> 00:09:34,408
And with its limited access by road,
167
00:09:34,491 --> 00:09:36,159
this train track has been built
to reach it,
168
00:09:36,243 --> 00:09:37,911
which will take us just under two hours.
169
00:09:37,995 --> 00:09:39,371
I can't believe we made the train.
170
00:09:40,664 --> 00:09:44,334
Usually when we've got a date to hit,
we're like a day or two behind.
171
00:09:44,418 --> 00:09:45,460
But this time we just...
172
00:09:46,378 --> 00:09:48,922
totally got here, got changed.
Just got on the train.
173
00:09:51,216 --> 00:09:52,843
It was a nice train journey up here.
174
00:09:54,178 --> 00:09:55,679
Ten o'clock at night, 10:02.
175
00:09:56,597 --> 00:09:59,474
And in the morning, we'll get up at 4:00.
176
00:10:00,809 --> 00:10:04,980
Four-thirty, to be out the door at 5:00
to try and get up to Machu Picchu.
177
00:10:05,772 --> 00:10:06,773
And...
178
00:10:07,733 --> 00:10:10,861
It's kinda hard to believe it,
'cause I've always wanted to see it.
179
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:12,446
I've always wanted to be here.
180
00:10:12,529 --> 00:10:14,573
I just want to be up
in that special place tomorrow.
181
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,994
And I can't really believe we're here.
I can't really believe that I'm here.
182
00:10:21,038 --> 00:10:22,164
Night, all.
183
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:32,883
Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu day.
184
00:10:33,842 --> 00:10:36,929
And I've heard the best time
to experience the place is at sunrise.
185
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,181
So we're not taking any chances.
186
00:10:41,183 --> 00:10:44,436
-Ain't this pretty cool? Look at that.
-That is incredible, isn't it?
187
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,439
Just suddenly we're in
a totally different landscape.
188
00:10:49,233 --> 00:10:50,567
This is really jungly, isn't it?
189
00:10:54,404 --> 00:10:57,366
I don't like it. The bus is very close
to the edge of the hill.
190
00:11:00,452 --> 00:11:01,495
Why am I at the window?
191
00:11:05,582 --> 00:11:08,126
Getting up early has paid off.
We're first in the queue.
192
00:11:08,502 --> 00:11:10,587
-This way? Si. Gracias.
-Up.
193
00:11:11,922 --> 00:11:14,550
-Excuse me, where is Machu Picchu?
-I say--
194
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:16,593
I say, are we close?
195
00:11:18,387 --> 00:11:22,474
We've started the main climb.
And with an altitude of nearly 8,000 feet,
196
00:11:22,558 --> 00:11:24,518
getting to the summit
is no walk in the park.
197
00:11:26,103 --> 00:11:28,355
I don't know how much of it there is.
198
00:11:28,438 --> 00:11:30,566
-Jesus.
-You don't know where...
199
00:11:36,697 --> 00:11:39,783
I can feel my legs burning already.
200
00:11:43,161 --> 00:11:46,915
You go up. I'll go down. 'Cause I might--
201
00:11:46,999 --> 00:11:48,625
-No, no. I'll come with you.
-No, it's all right.
202
00:11:48,709 --> 00:11:50,919
-I don't mind.
-I don't want you to miss that.
203
00:11:52,671 --> 00:11:54,673
-After you. After you.
-No, just need a rest.
204
00:11:54,756 --> 00:11:55,757
Okay, okay.
205
00:11:56,884 --> 00:11:57,926
-Go for it.
-Thank you.
206
00:12:02,514 --> 00:12:05,392
Ewan's racing ahead.
I couldn't have done that.
207
00:12:05,475 --> 00:12:09,438
I mean, my legs are just not
up for that anymore.
208
00:12:10,105 --> 00:12:14,776
Here we go. Uppity up, up.
I hope we see it from up here.
209
00:12:16,778 --> 00:12:20,157
He's going up to the Sun Gate.
Which is like a 45-minute walk up.
210
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,075
And then we'll carry on this side.
211
00:12:26,205 --> 00:12:28,624
I can barely talk.
212
00:12:32,628 --> 00:12:37,049
It's such a shame you can't see it all
because only 2,500 people a day
213
00:12:37,132 --> 00:12:40,719
are allowed to come here,
so you're privileged to be here.
214
00:12:43,222 --> 00:12:45,307
Apparently,
it was built in the 13th century.
215
00:12:45,390 --> 00:12:48,560
It was hidden
until its rediscovery in 1911.
216
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:51,396
And I've been looking forward
to seeing this so much.
217
00:12:52,356 --> 00:12:57,152
Never-ending. Well,
maybe it's not for the faint of heart,
218
00:12:57,236 --> 00:12:59,363
and it'll be less crowded here
than it is down there.
219
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,161
-Hola.
-Hola.
220
00:13:12,417 --> 00:13:13,418
One, two, three.
221
00:13:14,837 --> 00:13:16,213
-All right.
-Thanks, buddy.
222
00:13:16,296 --> 00:13:17,297
Thanks.
223
00:13:17,589 --> 00:13:19,383
Oh, goodness.
This wasn't quite the experience
224
00:13:19,466 --> 00:13:21,176
I was expecting to have up here. Oh, well.
225
00:13:25,347 --> 00:13:26,348
For the picture.
226
00:13:27,391 --> 00:13:29,351
At the top of the Sun Gate,
I hadn't realized that
227
00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:31,979
people do that four-day trek coming up
from the other side.
228
00:13:32,396 --> 00:13:36,525
And so that when we got there,
there was like 50, 60...
229
00:13:36,608 --> 00:13:38,986
And it just turned into a bit
of a photo session for me.
230
00:13:39,987 --> 00:13:41,989
-That's awesome. Have a good trip.
-Cheers, man. Thanks.
231
00:13:42,072 --> 00:13:43,282
Where should we sit?
232
00:13:44,199 --> 00:13:46,076
Or should we just go down the path
a little bit?
233
00:13:46,535 --> 00:13:48,161
I think we're gonna-- Yeah.
234
00:13:50,163 --> 00:13:52,833
Well, I might spoil everybody else's
experience. That's the problem.
235
00:13:55,419 --> 00:13:57,462
-Hey. How are you? Nice to meet you.
-How you doing? Nice to meet you.
236
00:13:58,589 --> 00:14:01,508
-Yeah, yeah. That's okay. Yeah.
-Yeah? Thank you.
237
00:14:21,653 --> 00:14:23,906
These clouds aren't clearing anytime soon.
238
00:14:23,989 --> 00:14:26,200
I'm going to check out
another famous site.
239
00:14:26,783 --> 00:14:28,493
-Hola.
-Hola, buenos días.
240
00:14:28,577 --> 00:14:30,746
Is this the bit where you have to
sign your life away?
241
00:14:31,580 --> 00:14:32,581
Okay.
242
00:14:32,664 --> 00:14:35,626
It's so dangerously steep,
that you have to sign yourself in
243
00:14:35,709 --> 00:14:37,920
and sign yourself out for safety.
244
00:14:41,256 --> 00:14:43,967
I can't believe how steep it is.
Oh, my God.
245
00:14:47,513 --> 00:14:48,597
Okay. No pushing, guys.
246
00:14:51,517 --> 00:14:54,144
-Oh, the bridge.
-The bridge.
247
00:14:54,603 --> 00:14:55,604
Wow.
248
00:14:58,607 --> 00:15:02,361
And they have steps going down as well.
They're built into the rock.
249
00:15:02,444 --> 00:15:03,820
God, that's incredible.
250
00:15:04,530 --> 00:15:06,490
They've blocked it off now
because people would come,
251
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:09,701
and they'd hang off
the bottom of it and take selfies
252
00:15:09,785 --> 00:15:12,788
and do all kinds of crazy, stupid things.
253
00:15:15,541 --> 00:15:17,751
We will be lucky. It's clearing, no?
254
00:15:18,627 --> 00:15:21,630
Looks like it here, doesn't it?
In another hour or so,
255
00:15:21,713 --> 00:15:23,674
-then we could be really lucky.
-Yeah, yeah.
256
00:15:33,141 --> 00:15:34,142
And there it is.
257
00:15:38,313 --> 00:15:39,314
I gotta turn the camera.
258
00:15:52,995 --> 00:15:55,455
This is so amazing.
I'm so happy to see it.
259
00:15:59,668 --> 00:16:02,588
I can't believe we were standing here
before, and it was just there.
260
00:16:02,671 --> 00:16:03,797
We couldn't see it at all.
261
00:16:09,553 --> 00:16:12,347
Many Inca sites were destroyed
by Spanish invaders,
262
00:16:12,431 --> 00:16:14,600
but they never found Machu Picchu.
Thank goodness.
263
00:16:17,561 --> 00:16:20,856
Finally made it up here.
And there's Machu Picchu.
264
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:25,110
Finally, the clouds have broken.
How beautiful it is.
265
00:16:26,737 --> 00:16:30,824
The excitement of coming up here
and seeing it. And then...
266
00:16:31,783 --> 00:16:34,286
And I think what's quite nice
is that we've had to wait for it.
267
00:16:34,369 --> 00:16:37,664
So, we've kind of had a look around,
and we were talking about it,
268
00:16:37,748 --> 00:16:39,791
and we were trying to imagine
what it must be like.
269
00:16:39,875 --> 00:16:43,795
We've seen the pictures and then suddenly,
it started to show itself.
270
00:16:45,339 --> 00:16:46,965
Mind-blowing. Overwhelming.
271
00:16:48,342 --> 00:16:49,343
It's stunning.
272
00:16:51,261 --> 00:16:52,262
Stunning.
273
00:16:53,472 --> 00:16:56,183
Most archaeologists believe
that it was built as an estate
274
00:16:56,266 --> 00:16:58,810
for the Inca emperor, Pachacuti,
275
00:16:58,894 --> 00:17:01,021
while others think
it was a religious site.
276
00:17:02,189 --> 00:17:03,065
Amazing, isn't it?
277
00:17:24,752 --> 00:17:26,338
New day, new dawn.
278
00:17:30,968 --> 00:17:32,302
Okay.
279
00:17:33,679 --> 00:17:37,391
Ollantaytambo, goodbye, just now.
280
00:17:41,812 --> 00:17:46,191
We haven't had a rainy day for a while.
Might have our first rainy ride.
281
00:17:49,278 --> 00:17:52,573
Cobblestones in the rain.
Yucky, yucky, yucky.
282
00:17:55,617 --> 00:17:59,580
We're now 39 days into our ride
from Ushuaia to Los Angeles.
283
00:18:00,497 --> 00:18:03,876
And we've got just three days
to get to Ayacucho, where we're arranged
284
00:18:03,959 --> 00:18:06,712
to travel deep into the rain forest
to meet a tribe community.
285
00:18:08,881 --> 00:18:10,716
Quite sad to be leaving Machu Picchu.
286
00:18:11,383 --> 00:18:14,178
It was quite an amazing experience,
I must say.
287
00:18:14,261 --> 00:18:17,431
Yeah, I just wanted to sit today
on my motorbike
288
00:18:17,514 --> 00:18:20,392
and remember all the lovely things I saw
up in Machu Picchu yesterday.
289
00:18:21,059 --> 00:18:24,855
Consider how lucky I am that
I'm able to make dreams come true
290
00:18:24,938 --> 00:18:26,231
to see something like that.
291
00:18:29,693 --> 00:18:32,237
Hang on. It's turn right back there, guys.
292
00:18:33,739 --> 00:18:34,740
I wonder...
293
00:18:37,618 --> 00:18:40,954
Hope this isn't gonna turn out
to be some very long dirt road.
294
00:18:44,333 --> 00:18:45,626
Gravel.
295
00:18:50,214 --> 00:18:53,217
I think this dirt road
is about eight miles.
296
00:18:56,929 --> 00:18:58,305
That's a busy old road, this.
297
00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:02,935
It's the M6. It's the M6 of Peru.
298
00:19:04,144 --> 00:19:05,270
The M stands for mud.
299
00:19:06,688 --> 00:19:07,689
Oh, the--
300
00:19:09,816 --> 00:19:11,777
-Did he get you?
-Unbelievable.
301
00:19:14,279 --> 00:19:15,280
Can you have a look?
302
00:19:16,114 --> 00:19:17,741
Oh, my God. He really got your visor.
303
00:19:17,824 --> 00:19:19,868
Absolutely got the whole side of my body.
304
00:19:23,580 --> 00:19:24,957
This could be very slippy.
305
00:19:26,750 --> 00:19:28,043
It is super slippy.
306
00:19:30,671 --> 00:19:31,880
Shit. It's down.
307
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,049
Are you okay there, Ewan?
308
00:19:37,511 --> 00:19:39,096
This little cut-through's great.
309
00:19:39,513 --> 00:19:40,514
Oh, my God.
310
00:19:42,057 --> 00:19:44,935
Okay, ready?
If you get under the bags. One...
311
00:19:46,228 --> 00:19:47,855
Just under the bags
or something under there.
312
00:19:47,938 --> 00:19:49,106
One, two, three.
313
00:19:51,233 --> 00:19:52,693
Well done, guys.
314
00:19:52,776 --> 00:19:53,777
Okay.
315
00:19:54,862 --> 00:19:55,821
Gracias, amigo.
316
00:19:56,363 --> 00:19:57,447
Two.
317
00:19:58,657 --> 00:20:00,868
-Are you okay?
-Comedy of errors.
318
00:20:01,493 --> 00:20:02,953
I'm okay, yeah. Thanks, guys.
319
00:20:07,791 --> 00:20:10,294
Look at this. Like this little oasis.
320
00:20:12,588 --> 00:20:16,925
We're riding the famous Ruta 35
from Abancay to Ayacucho.
321
00:20:20,846 --> 00:20:23,891
It's a remote mountain area with long,
winding passes so,
322
00:20:23,974 --> 00:20:25,142
the riding should be epic.
323
00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:31,857
We made it to Los Angeles. Cactus.
324
00:20:36,236 --> 00:20:39,448
-Yeah, Los Angeles.
-Los Angeles.
325
00:20:39,531 --> 00:20:40,991
So that's it, guys. It's been real.
326
00:20:41,074 --> 00:20:41,992
Yep.
327
00:20:42,075 --> 00:20:44,036
Thanks for everything.
Thanks for the memories.
328
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,496
It was lovely. It was nice
to do another one together.
329
00:21:06,558 --> 00:21:09,311
We're back up at 13,500 feet.
330
00:21:10,312 --> 00:21:11,438
And...
331
00:21:13,732 --> 00:21:14,900
This looks amazing.
332
00:21:15,651 --> 00:21:19,488
Well, we've been going kind of--
It feels like we've just been going up,
333
00:21:19,571 --> 00:21:20,572
-doesn't it?
-Yeah.
334
00:21:20,656 --> 00:21:25,953
The whole morning.
And so, we've used a lot of--
335
00:21:26,036 --> 00:21:30,415
We're at 41% with 46 miles to go
336
00:21:30,499 --> 00:21:33,168
and we have 68 miles
to where we want to go.
337
00:21:33,877 --> 00:21:36,922
So, we're hoping that we get
a bit of down soon.
338
00:21:46,056 --> 00:21:48,684
When we're going downhill,
the bikes can then recharge.
339
00:21:48,767 --> 00:21:51,687
It's basically the same as a hybrid car.
There are motors in there
340
00:21:51,770 --> 00:21:53,897
that regenerate charge
back into the battery.
341
00:21:53,981 --> 00:21:56,358
Meaning that we can now go
a little further and faster.
342
00:21:58,026 --> 00:22:00,112
This is good regen, man. Good regen.
343
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,699
Here we go. Regen, regen, regen.
344
00:22:05,784 --> 00:22:07,911
On the way,
we saw this cyclist going up the hill,
345
00:22:07,995 --> 00:22:10,289
and he was powering up the hill.
346
00:22:10,372 --> 00:22:13,000
And we thought, "Christ, that's big."
347
00:22:13,083 --> 00:22:16,962
And as we got closer and closer,
we realized that he only had one leg.
348
00:22:19,423 --> 00:22:20,674
Nice to meet you.
349
00:22:20,757 --> 00:22:21,842
How amazing.
350
00:22:22,634 --> 00:22:24,303
How long did it take to come up the hill?
351
00:22:24,803 --> 00:22:26,597
-Tres horas.
-Three hours.
352
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,225
-Tres horas.
-Wow, man. That's amazing.
353
00:22:30,309 --> 00:22:31,810
60 kilometers.
354
00:22:31,894 --> 00:22:32,853
A hundred kilometers.
355
00:22:34,021 --> 00:22:35,272
Turn around and go back.
356
00:22:35,898 --> 00:22:37,024
120 kilometers.
357
00:22:37,566 --> 00:22:38,567
So cool.
358
00:22:41,361 --> 00:22:44,781
He's a Peruvian Paralympian,
and he's going to the Olympics.
359
00:22:46,617 --> 00:22:48,785
-What is your discipline?
-Road.
360
00:22:49,161 --> 00:22:51,121
Road cycling.
361
00:22:51,205 --> 00:22:52,289
Si.
362
00:22:52,372 --> 00:22:55,626
-He's got good training here.
-Amazing mountains to train on.
363
00:22:56,293 --> 00:23:00,506
He got into a traffic accident
and lost his leg right up by his hip.
364
00:23:00,589 --> 00:23:05,719
I had a traffic accident in 2012.
365
00:23:05,802 --> 00:23:09,056
And I understand a little bit
about rehabilitation
366
00:23:09,139 --> 00:23:11,475
and getting to a point where you're so low
367
00:23:11,558 --> 00:23:15,812
because you've had
a life-changing accident like he has.
368
00:23:15,896 --> 00:23:19,399
And where do you go from there?
How do you get on?
369
00:23:19,483 --> 00:23:22,110
What do you do after that?
370
00:23:22,194 --> 00:23:24,613
And I think one of the biggest things
371
00:23:24,696 --> 00:23:26,073
to happen to you when you have a trauma
372
00:23:26,156 --> 00:23:30,327
is to try and get back
to some kind of normality.
373
00:23:30,410 --> 00:23:35,207
To decide that yes, okay,
I've got these ailments,
374
00:23:35,290 --> 00:23:37,042
but I'm not gonna make them define me.
375
00:23:37,125 --> 00:23:39,127
I'm gonna push on and move forward.
376
00:23:40,087 --> 00:23:42,756
And that's what he did.
And look at him, he's off to the Olympics.
377
00:23:43,173 --> 00:23:44,174
Pretty incredible.
378
00:23:45,008 --> 00:23:49,888
50K there and then 50K back.
That was his routine.
379
00:23:50,347 --> 00:23:52,933
That's a hell of a climb
up the hill though. My goodness.
380
00:23:53,267 --> 00:23:55,394
That's a hell of a climb
just on a motorbike.
381
00:23:56,103 --> 00:23:58,021
Let alone with one leg.
382
00:23:58,647 --> 00:24:02,901
But what a guy. What an amazing chance
to bump into someone like that up here.
383
00:24:02,985 --> 00:24:04,152
At the top of the world.
384
00:24:37,561 --> 00:24:39,897
We're now approaching Andahuaylas
385
00:24:39,980 --> 00:24:43,025
and still need to make up 150 miles
to get to Ayacucho.
386
00:24:57,372 --> 00:24:58,415
Gracias. Thank you.
387
00:24:58,498 --> 00:25:00,042
-Okay? Si.
-Si.
388
00:25:00,459 --> 00:25:01,293
Working?
389
00:25:02,669 --> 00:25:04,546
Yes. Gracias.
390
00:25:07,424 --> 00:25:09,468
-Let's do it.
-We have 100 miles but...
391
00:25:11,136 --> 00:25:13,138
-Robot.
-He's being a robot.
392
00:25:13,847 --> 00:25:14,848
Okay.
393
00:25:21,021 --> 00:25:22,272
Right, no. Is he okay?
394
00:25:27,152 --> 00:25:28,320
Okay, let's do it. Let's go.
395
00:25:29,446 --> 00:25:32,074
Think we should get this show on the road.
396
00:25:45,337 --> 00:25:49,007
The riding of the last few days
has just been incredible.
397
00:25:49,091 --> 00:25:51,093
We've been going up and down--
398
00:25:51,176 --> 00:25:55,722
up to 4,000 meters,
back down to 2,500, back up to 4,000,
399
00:25:55,806 --> 00:25:59,893
back down to 2,500,
on these most incredible roads.
400
00:25:59,977 --> 00:26:02,980
The tarmac and the landscape
and the views.
401
00:26:03,063 --> 00:26:04,648
Looking down into the valley,
402
00:26:04,731 --> 00:26:08,652
plunging down, down to the valleys,
and the towns.
403
00:26:08,735 --> 00:26:11,446
It has been just incredible.
404
00:26:17,661 --> 00:26:19,746
Tomorrow, we're going to
leave our bikes behind and head off
405
00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:23,208
into the Amazon rainforest
to visit a partnership between an NGO
406
00:26:23,292 --> 00:26:26,712
and a tribal community, who are
both trying to reduce deforestation.
407
00:26:39,892 --> 00:26:41,727
We're gonna have a look
at the system for Cool Earth.
408
00:26:41,810 --> 00:26:43,979
It's a new way of thinking.
It's a different way of thinking.
409
00:26:44,062 --> 00:26:46,356
It's empowerment. It's giving people jobs.
410
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:51,069
It's giving people a sustainable income,
rather than just chopping down the forest.
411
00:26:51,153 --> 00:26:52,946
So, let's see what happens.
412
00:26:54,781 --> 00:26:58,118
We had to take the helicopter,
because we just couldn't get in by bike.
413
00:27:02,456 --> 00:27:04,666
Here we go. Up, up and away.
414
00:27:12,674 --> 00:27:15,093
It's beautiful!
The river running through the valley.
415
00:27:15,677 --> 00:27:16,762
How pretty.
416
00:27:19,723 --> 00:27:22,142
We're flying 90 miles to Cutivireni,
417
00:27:22,226 --> 00:27:25,354
a community of Asháninka people
in the Amazon rainforest,
418
00:27:25,437 --> 00:27:27,523
to visit one of their 12 villages there.
419
00:27:29,066 --> 00:27:30,400
That's really cool.
420
00:27:30,651 --> 00:27:32,194
So beautiful, the jungle.
421
00:27:34,488 --> 00:27:37,032
The amount of bugs and animals and...
422
00:27:37,366 --> 00:27:38,492
everything that is in there,
423
00:27:38,575 --> 00:27:40,827
it's just bubbling with life.
424
00:27:42,454 --> 00:27:43,622
Here. Look.
425
00:27:44,748 --> 00:27:46,542
There's a patch on top of that hill...
426
00:27:46,625 --> 00:27:48,252
deforested a little bit.
427
00:27:49,336 --> 00:27:51,171
Taking the skin off the world.
428
00:27:52,422 --> 00:27:53,507
We won't be able to breathe.
429
00:27:54,049 --> 00:27:55,175
Yeah.
430
00:27:55,509 --> 00:27:56,885
It's very difficult, isn't it?
431
00:27:56,969 --> 00:27:59,096
Because you're sitting there
with your little house...
432
00:27:59,179 --> 00:28:01,181
and you're looking back
at all this hardwood.
433
00:28:01,265 --> 00:28:03,016
Someone's saying, "I'll give you money..."
434
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:04,101
And then someone else says...
435
00:28:04,184 --> 00:28:05,686
"Oh, no. You've got to keep the forest."
436
00:28:05,769 --> 00:28:09,064
And you're like,
"Yeah, but I've got to feed my family."
437
00:28:09,690 --> 00:28:11,024
It's an immediate thing, but...
438
00:28:11,358 --> 00:28:12,359
you know, what do you do?
439
00:28:13,777 --> 00:28:15,737
Yeah, that's the dilemma, isn't it?
440
00:28:17,739 --> 00:28:19,283
Is this the place?
441
00:28:21,618 --> 00:28:22,744
A lot of people.
442
00:28:23,537 --> 00:28:24,872
Wow, the colors!
443
00:28:28,041 --> 00:28:32,087
This village is called Tinkareni,
with a population of nearly 200 people.
444
00:28:34,965 --> 00:28:38,677
We're gonna be supporting
this community with our carbon mitigation.
445
00:28:40,179 --> 00:28:42,181
-Hello. Cómo estás?
-Hello. Buenos días.
446
00:28:42,264 --> 00:28:43,432
So, you say...
447
00:28:46,310 --> 00:28:49,313
It's like "hello" in Asháninka.
448
00:28:51,899 --> 00:28:53,358
We welcome you.
449
00:28:53,775 --> 00:28:57,738
They've come from really far
to visit us here.
450
00:28:58,197 --> 00:29:01,700
He was greeting all the chiefs
from the different villages
451
00:29:01,783 --> 00:29:04,203
that have come here
to welcome you as well.
452
00:29:04,286 --> 00:29:07,372
They're gonna paint your faces.
It's different for men and women.
453
00:29:07,456 --> 00:29:08,707
Okay.
454
00:29:12,503 --> 00:29:14,087
Hello.
455
00:29:14,838 --> 00:29:16,089
Very nice.
456
00:29:16,965 --> 00:29:19,301
You look like a little leopard
or something.
457
00:29:19,384 --> 00:29:22,387
-You got little wings like a bird.
-I can't see.
458
00:29:22,471 --> 00:29:25,015
-How do you say thank you in their...
-Gracias.
459
00:29:31,313 --> 00:29:34,274
We just had the most wonderful ceremony
to welcome us,
460
00:29:34,691 --> 00:29:37,152
and this is one
of the first Cool Earth projects.
461
00:29:37,236 --> 00:29:38,987
It's been going on for about 10 years.
462
00:29:41,782 --> 00:29:44,368
The entire Cutivireni community
463
00:29:44,451 --> 00:29:46,954
covers over 30,000 hectares
of rain forest.
464
00:29:47,579 --> 00:29:50,874
When you are working
in the forest and you can't find water,
465
00:29:50,958 --> 00:29:53,335
then you can find some lianas.
466
00:29:53,418 --> 00:29:55,003
And then you can drink it.
467
00:29:55,087 --> 00:29:56,839
And it's also medicinal.
468
00:29:57,631 --> 00:29:58,882
Look at that. Here it comes.
469
00:29:59,883 --> 00:30:01,301
-Look.
-There it is.
470
00:30:10,394 --> 00:30:11,728
It's delicious and fresh.
471
00:30:13,772 --> 00:30:16,316
For communities,
the forest is like the market.
472
00:30:16,775 --> 00:30:18,402
When they need food,
473
00:30:18,986 --> 00:30:22,030
when they need to build houses,
they come to the forest.
474
00:30:22,114 --> 00:30:26,076
And also they use it to generate
some income to survive.
475
00:30:26,493 --> 00:30:29,621
So, that's how we came
and provided some funding.
476
00:30:30,163 --> 00:30:34,626
So they don't feel the pressure
of getting some income generation
477
00:30:34,710 --> 00:30:36,920
from illegal logging or from cocaine.
478
00:30:37,337 --> 00:30:40,257
We help them to stop deforestation
and minimize it.
479
00:30:40,340 --> 00:30:43,218
You've been involved
with Cool Earth for about 10 years,
480
00:30:43,302 --> 00:30:47,389
and what does it mean
to you guys as a community?
481
00:30:48,765 --> 00:30:52,811
There are a few of us
who preserve and love the forest.
482
00:30:52,895 --> 00:30:55,272
It's where we get our food...
483
00:30:55,355 --> 00:30:57,524
and everything we need.
484
00:30:57,774 --> 00:31:00,986
The forest is very important to us.
485
00:31:06,617 --> 00:31:08,327
They get financial support.
486
00:31:08,410 --> 00:31:10,621
With that, children are able
to go to school,
487
00:31:10,704 --> 00:31:14,082
and they're maybe able
to afford more health services.
488
00:31:14,166 --> 00:31:15,834
So, this is an amazing thing for them.
489
00:31:16,460 --> 00:31:18,962
He wants to show his house. You wanna go?
490
00:31:19,046 --> 00:31:20,255
-Yeah.
-Si.
491
00:31:20,756 --> 00:31:21,924
Okay.
492
00:31:24,051 --> 00:31:25,302
Weaving. Hello.
493
00:31:26,011 --> 00:31:28,138
That's the wife, Albertina.
494
00:31:28,222 --> 00:31:29,431
Hola.
495
00:31:29,973 --> 00:31:32,434
This is a huge place he has.
496
00:31:33,435 --> 00:31:36,772
Look, he's got TV. Stereo.
497
00:31:41,818 --> 00:31:43,237
-Beautiful, isn't it?
-Si.
498
00:31:45,531 --> 00:31:48,242
I don't think I've ever been
anywhere like this. Where you see...
499
00:31:48,617 --> 00:31:52,579
people really living
from the forest like this.
500
00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:57,459
It's hoped that
by encouraging sustainable agriculture,
501
00:31:57,543 --> 00:32:01,755
the traditionally nomadic Asháninka people
will remain here long-term,
502
00:32:01,839 --> 00:32:04,258
and protect their lands
from further deforestation.
503
00:32:04,508 --> 00:32:06,885
Jaime, you aren't
planning to move anymore, right?
504
00:32:06,969 --> 00:32:11,640
After moving a lot, I want to stay put.
505
00:32:13,267 --> 00:32:16,562
I'm thinking of the generations to come,
506
00:32:16,645 --> 00:32:18,272
my grandchildren.
507
00:32:18,355 --> 00:32:20,023
Leaving something here for them.
508
00:32:34,788 --> 00:32:36,290
Good morning, everybody.
509
00:32:37,291 --> 00:32:39,751
This is what I've woken up to,
in the middle of the jungle.
510
00:32:40,627 --> 00:32:41,795
In this beautiful village.
511
00:32:42,171 --> 00:32:46,091
I just slept
like an absolute champion in here.
512
00:32:47,801 --> 00:32:49,803
Here in the village of Cutivireni.
513
00:32:55,267 --> 00:32:56,351
It's refreshing.
514
00:33:00,564 --> 00:33:03,233
They weren't heavy-handed.
They weren't just like,
515
00:33:03,317 --> 00:33:06,028
"Nobody can knock a tree down."
They really understood the communities,
516
00:33:06,111 --> 00:33:07,946
and they were trying to work
with the communities to try
517
00:33:08,030 --> 00:33:11,158
and help them to just make
less of an impact in the forest
518
00:33:11,241 --> 00:33:13,327
or to appreciate
what the forest gives them.
519
00:33:15,245 --> 00:33:18,957
Charley and I,
we weren't driven to do this trip
520
00:33:19,041 --> 00:33:21,710
on electric bikes
because we're environmentalists.
521
00:33:21,793 --> 00:33:25,005
I think we wanted to do it
because it's the future.
522
00:33:25,422 --> 00:33:27,090
Because we're excited
about electric bikes.
523
00:33:27,174 --> 00:33:29,968
But as we're doing it,
it's opened my mind up
524
00:33:30,052 --> 00:33:31,220
to what is going on in the world.
525
00:33:42,814 --> 00:33:46,693
I can't believe we've done
Machu Picchu and Cool Earth.
526
00:33:47,152 --> 00:33:48,779
The first UNICEF project.
527
00:33:49,446 --> 00:33:51,907
All of those things seemed
so far into the trip,
528
00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:52,991
and we've done them already.
529
00:33:58,664 --> 00:34:00,499
I'm just so over the Andes.
530
00:34:03,502 --> 00:34:07,381
We've just gotta get over this last hill.
This could be it, right?
531
00:34:07,923 --> 00:34:09,591
I don't wanna get too excited.
532
00:34:12,803 --> 00:34:17,766
That's a beautiful si-- Wow. That's nice.
533
00:34:23,938 --> 00:34:26,900
We've crossed the Andes
and now we drop down 4,000 meters
534
00:34:26,984 --> 00:34:29,027
to the coastal town of Ica in Peru.
535
00:34:29,820 --> 00:34:32,989
Next, we're headed to see
the 2,000-year-old giant artworks,
536
00:34:33,072 --> 00:34:34,949
the Nasca Lines,
that I've heard about before.
537
00:34:40,038 --> 00:34:43,500
Today, we're going to see
the amazing etchings
538
00:34:43,583 --> 00:34:44,626
in the Earth's surface.
539
00:34:44,710 --> 00:34:47,254
It's clearly meant
to be viewed from above,
540
00:34:47,337 --> 00:34:50,382
but they were done
long before we had flight, so...
541
00:34:52,176 --> 00:34:55,429
Who were they done for?
Was it for the aliens?
542
00:34:55,512 --> 00:34:57,431
We don't know. Let's see today.
543
00:34:58,473 --> 00:35:00,517
Yes, we're going to fly
over the Nasca Valley
544
00:35:00,601 --> 00:35:03,353
to the lowest altitude we can, okay?
545
00:35:03,437 --> 00:35:06,231
When we arrive to a figure,
we will be turning to the left
546
00:35:06,315 --> 00:35:07,733
and to the right, okay?
547
00:35:07,816 --> 00:35:09,818
So, everyone is going to see it. Yes?
548
00:35:10,485 --> 00:35:13,530
The turns will be
from 30 to 50 degrees, okay?
549
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,949
So, it's gonna be fun. Yes?
550
00:35:16,742 --> 00:35:19,494
I would make sure we find a bag
before we get in this plane.
551
00:35:21,288 --> 00:35:23,498
-It's a good choice of bag, isn't it?
-Yeah.
552
00:35:23,916 --> 00:35:27,002
Nice clear one, just so you can see
exactly what you had for breakfast.
553
00:35:27,753 --> 00:35:28,754
Fasten your seat belts.
554
00:35:39,306 --> 00:35:41,934
-Just relax. Go with the flow.
-Go with the flow, man.
555
00:35:44,019 --> 00:35:47,439
Despite alien conspiracy theories
about the origins,
556
00:35:47,523 --> 00:35:50,067
it's more likely that the Nasca
created the huge artworks
557
00:35:50,150 --> 00:35:51,860
to ask their weather gods for rain.
558
00:35:56,198 --> 00:35:57,407
We're dead.
559
00:35:59,785 --> 00:36:02,579
Now we're going to see
the first figure. Okay?
560
00:36:03,872 --> 00:36:06,750
There he is. There, look.
Right in front of you.
561
00:36:07,042 --> 00:36:09,253
There on the hillside. On the hill.
562
00:36:10,295 --> 00:36:12,005
It's amazing.
563
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:20,681
There are over 1,000 artworks here.
564
00:36:20,764 --> 00:36:22,641
Some are over 400 meters tall.
565
00:36:30,566 --> 00:36:31,817
I feel a bit sick now.
566
00:36:38,365 --> 00:36:39,533
Now I'm feeling sick.
567
00:36:45,455 --> 00:36:48,375
What if we could go in tight circles
both ways around something else now?
568
00:36:48,458 --> 00:36:50,419
-Like really--
-Perfect.
569
00:36:51,587 --> 00:36:52,963
I just wanna get down.
570
00:37:08,353 --> 00:37:10,647
-Thank you.
-Gracias. Thank you very much.
571
00:37:10,731 --> 00:37:11,648
Hope you enjoyed it.
572
00:37:11,732 --> 00:37:12,941
We had a lovely time. Thank you.
573
00:37:14,318 --> 00:37:15,569
How were the turns?
574
00:37:15,652 --> 00:37:17,237
-Very nice. Thank you.
-Nice and smooth.
575
00:37:18,030 --> 00:37:19,031
Not for me.
576
00:37:23,243 --> 00:37:24,661
We're getting back on the road.
577
00:37:25,787 --> 00:37:28,332
It's getting warm now, isn't it?
It's getting properly dry and hot.
578
00:37:30,751 --> 00:37:31,752
Easy riding.
579
00:37:49,061 --> 00:37:51,480
I'm just looking forward
to getting to a new country now,
580
00:37:51,563 --> 00:37:53,106
to Ecuador.
581
00:37:53,190 --> 00:37:54,358
It gets quite exciting then.
582
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:02,449
Ready to go?
583
00:38:02,533 --> 00:38:04,409
Rivian have made a major breakthrough.
584
00:38:04,493 --> 00:38:07,204
They've figured out a way for us
to fully charge the bikes
585
00:38:07,287 --> 00:38:09,289
from their cars in just two hours.
586
00:38:09,540 --> 00:38:11,333
There, we got a pulse. Yep.
587
00:38:13,085 --> 00:38:14,086
Yeah.
588
00:38:15,796 --> 00:38:17,965
I think it's really nice
that some new charging tech
589
00:38:18,048 --> 00:38:19,424
has been developed for us,
590
00:38:19,508 --> 00:38:21,468
and it could be used
by other people in the future.
591
00:38:22,135 --> 00:38:25,222
One hour, twenty-four to full.
592
00:38:25,639 --> 00:38:26,765
Two hours. Done.
593
00:38:37,192 --> 00:38:40,445
I think I'm finally starting
to get this Peruvian traffic.
594
00:38:42,364 --> 00:38:43,532
Oh, yeah.
595
00:38:47,536 --> 00:38:49,663
Jesus, careful. Careful. Easy.
596
00:38:50,247 --> 00:38:51,623
Easy. Easy. Easy.
597
00:38:55,586 --> 00:38:56,587
Oh, boy.
598
00:38:57,296 --> 00:38:59,965
They can use that
as what happens after the adverts.
599
00:39:00,382 --> 00:39:02,676
-You know, a teaser or a cliff-hanger.
-Yeah. Cliff-hanger.
600
00:39:02,759 --> 00:39:03,719
"Careful, careful."
601
00:39:05,470 --> 00:39:08,724
-How many shows are like that?
-You come back after the break
602
00:39:08,807 --> 00:39:11,351
with the clip straight to him,
"Careful. Careful. Careful."
603
00:39:11,435 --> 00:39:12,936
And then, you know.
604
00:39:23,614 --> 00:39:26,491
Here we go. Heading to the Ecuador border.
605
00:39:30,329 --> 00:39:32,372
We're off to visit our friends at UNICEF
606
00:39:32,456 --> 00:39:36,418
who've set up a camp to help some
of the refugees fleeing from Venezuela.
607
00:39:40,672 --> 00:39:43,258
Hundreds of Venezuelans are fleeing
the country in an effort
608
00:39:43,342 --> 00:39:46,929
to escape an ongoing economic
and humanitarian crisis there.
609
00:39:48,972 --> 00:39:50,682
People have traveled hundreds of miles
610
00:39:50,766 --> 00:39:54,061
through Colombia and Ecuador
in an attempt to reach families
611
00:39:54,144 --> 00:39:56,063
and to find work in Peru and Chile.
612
00:39:57,898 --> 00:40:00,359
There's all the tents and everything.
613
00:40:01,026 --> 00:40:04,905
This camp in Tumbes is supporting
around 100 mothers with babies
614
00:40:05,155 --> 00:40:07,783
as well as 50 children
with no parents with them.
615
00:40:08,742 --> 00:40:10,744
Is this a child-friendly space?
616
00:40:12,621 --> 00:40:13,872
They're two actors.
617
00:40:17,459 --> 00:40:18,710
Hola.
618
00:40:32,182 --> 00:40:34,059
Children are incredibly resilient.
619
00:40:34,142 --> 00:40:36,979
But they do need protection and help.
620
00:40:39,648 --> 00:40:45,153
Can you imagine getting out of Venezuela
and coming across Colombia and Ecuador
621
00:40:45,237 --> 00:40:47,698
to get here on buses or by foot.
622
00:40:48,282 --> 00:40:50,826
You know, it's been pretty brutal
for those children.
623
00:40:51,702 --> 00:40:54,204
They just don't have time
to be kids anymore, you know.
624
00:40:57,749 --> 00:41:00,586
Maria is 16,
and her brother Abraham's only 14,
625
00:41:00,669 --> 00:41:02,504
and they're here at the border
fending for themselves.
626
00:41:03,589 --> 00:41:05,090
They've been here 47 days.
627
00:41:06,091 --> 00:41:08,635
What was it like in Venezuela
when you had to leave?
628
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,972
The situation was really critical.
629
00:41:12,055 --> 00:41:14,224
That's why we decided
to leave the country.
630
00:41:15,225 --> 00:41:18,228
So, you had to leave your home
and your school and your friends.
631
00:41:20,063 --> 00:41:21,481
Everything.
632
00:41:21,565 --> 00:41:24,735
What hurts me the most
is to leave my family.
633
00:41:24,818 --> 00:41:26,278
It's hard to be separate...
634
00:41:26,361 --> 00:41:28,447
after being with them for so long.
635
00:41:29,823 --> 00:41:31,033
I'm sorry.
636
00:41:31,116 --> 00:41:33,076
Yeah, that's so difficult. So hard.
637
00:41:34,620 --> 00:41:37,039
-The situation is extremely volatile.
-Yeah.
638
00:41:37,664 --> 00:41:42,920
People have lost their jobs.
The money they have is worth nothing.
639
00:41:43,837 --> 00:41:47,216
They sell everything they have
to try and get out.
640
00:41:50,010 --> 00:41:52,721
So, they left behind
their mother and their older brother.
641
00:41:54,181 --> 00:41:57,267
Do they know what
the mother and their older brother
642
00:41:57,351 --> 00:41:58,352
is doing in Venezuela?
643
00:41:58,435 --> 00:42:00,604
Do you know
how your mom and brother are doing...
644
00:42:00,687 --> 00:42:02,272
back in Venezuela?
645
00:42:02,898 --> 00:42:04,608
-Your beautiful mom, right?
-Sweetheart.
646
00:42:05,776 --> 00:42:07,069
Don't cry.
647
00:42:09,780 --> 00:42:11,323
My gorgeous boy.
648
00:42:11,949 --> 00:42:13,075
-I'm sorry.
-Yeah.
649
00:42:17,663 --> 00:42:19,623
You kids are strong, you know?
650
00:42:19,706 --> 00:42:21,750
You're gonna get through this. You are.
651
00:42:21,834 --> 00:42:22,835
Yeah.
652
00:42:26,171 --> 00:42:28,924
What you're seeing
is really devastating to witness.
653
00:42:29,007 --> 00:42:31,051
They can't go back to Venezuela.
654
00:42:31,844 --> 00:42:36,265
They just need three days
to get across Peru by bus to get to Chile,
655
00:42:36,348 --> 00:42:39,142
where they can get in, and they know
that they've got family members there,
656
00:42:39,226 --> 00:42:41,603
and they've got a future there,
but they're stuck here.
657
00:42:41,937 --> 00:42:45,274
Some of them for 47 days.
658
00:43:14,595 --> 00:43:16,388
-Muchas gracias. Thank you very much.
-Okay.
659
00:43:17,431 --> 00:43:18,640
All right.
660
00:43:18,724 --> 00:43:20,559
For us,
it's relatively easy to cross the border
661
00:43:20,642 --> 00:43:21,894
and enter into Ecuador.
662
00:43:22,394 --> 00:43:23,437
Ecuador.
663
00:43:28,150 --> 00:43:31,945
And this next leg is possibly gonna
be the trickiest part of the whole trip.
664
00:43:35,699 --> 00:43:38,410
Basically, you can go
from the bottom of South America
665
00:43:38,493 --> 00:43:41,288
to the top of North America
on the Pan-American Highway.
666
00:43:41,663 --> 00:43:44,291
But there's a 100-mile gap
in the middle called the Darién Gap,
667
00:43:45,042 --> 00:43:47,544
which is impenetrable forest, no roads.
668
00:43:48,128 --> 00:43:50,339
Full of terrorists.
You don't wanna go there.
669
00:43:51,340 --> 00:43:55,928
So we have to either
take a boat 'round or fly over.
670
00:43:56,470 --> 00:44:01,350
Really, these are so heavy, the only way
to get these 'round is on a boat.
671
00:44:02,434 --> 00:44:04,686
We just need to get to that port
as soon as possible.
672
00:44:06,188 --> 00:44:10,484
No, the cell reception here is zero.
I think, let's stay together if we can.
673
00:44:11,193 --> 00:44:13,820
We'll follow you out of town anyway, mate.
It's a bit crazy.
674
00:44:14,530 --> 00:44:16,865
Have you seen the guy on the left
with the silver shotgun?
