The Amazon's Weirdest Village 🇵🇪

- 🇵🇪 Welcome to the Jungle! I sailed down Amazon tributaries from the Peruvian town of Pucallpa in search of adventure on my way to Iquitos, a town hacked out of the rainforest, passing villages where foreigners don't stop. And there in a small village on the banks of the Amazon I met the legendary turtle man. Join me.

Thanks to Lucy and her brother for helping me translate the drunken conversations in Pucallpa
No matter where bald and bankrupt goes his videos are such a treat
@@BigStiffWilly would make a great vid i reckon
@@BigStiffWillywhy?
@BigStiffWilly He went to Russian prison recently
@H 12899 Because they are Jealous and believe every little wannabe scum journo that posts sleaze on YT.
Come to South Africa 🇿🇦
I'm already bankrupt & I'm starting to go bald !!
i love how ben having the worst time of his life and bald having the best time of his life has become somewhat of a meme in itself.
I sometimes get annoyed with Ben, he often complains on their travels while Bald is out there going with the flow of things enjoying himself. Love him. Wish Rusha wasn't such a messed up place and Bald could have continued his adventures there....
@@elsbethhumphrey2048 are they always in a hurry in Rusha?
@@elsbethhumphrey2048 It's all an act, Ben even let it glip that Bald moans and complains as well, he just doesn't edit it that way. But I'm sure Ben is fine with being the whiny stooge of the videos or else he wouldn't have joined him for so many trips lol
@@NoNeedNoGreed I agree the two of them do carry on together....
At least Simon isn’t there. He’s a major drag.
The Peruvian transportation industry is fueled by repeating top tier cinematic masterpieces. On my 20 hour bus ride from Arequipa to Cusco I was blessed with watching Paul Blart mall cop 2 on repeat. I really felt like I was missing context from the first Paul Blart film, but after the third watch I truly was able to appreciate it for the masterpiece that it is.
What do the proprietors have against silence? I'd rather hear the drone of an engine. Do the locals actually watch these movies in the middle of the night?
In 1993 i took a bus from Cusco to Arequipa through the night. We saw robocop, Karate Kid 3 and a Mexican Sexy Comedy and 5 minutes into the Mexican film. The tv sparked and fried. The bus driver wasn't even phased lol. Then he told me he was in the Shining Path and wanted to kill Fujimouri but that is another story lol
Never mind Peru. Back in the 80s/90s as a student I used to take long coach journeys across the UK - 8-9 hours - and we were treated to such delights as National Lampoon's Vacation. These were the days before noise cancelling headphones. So it was brutal.
@@Alsatiagent They turned it off during sleeping hours but when the "entertainment" resumed it was paul blart mall cop 2 again.
You poor bastard. At least it wasn't a chick flick.
Ben: “This is the worst trip I’ve been on.”
Bald: “This is the best trip I’ve been on! I just met a ninja turtle!”
Best part is when bald is talking and George starts digging for gold 🤣🤣🤣
I was looking for a comment on this!! 😂😅
Caught myself doing the same lol
@@RockinRonnie111 same here
@@RockinRonnie111same! Hahaha
I respected the HELL out of that dig!! Go George!
100% the best travel vlogger because he knows the language of places he goes and can actually speak to the locals. Respect
He also respects the culture and locals, Ben seems like a chill guy and good vibes will help you anywhere in the world.
And he doesn't just zoom and out of the airport and call it a day
@@UnChicharo well there are some people who would not agree, there is alot of evidence that he started his traveling journey hunting for vulnerable girls...
@@vineleak7676I’ve been casually following his videos for years and I’ve never heard that. Where did you hear or read that
@@vineleak7676 he made one short clip of female Indian police officers, and I don't blame him, they were gorgeous
I love how Bald just buys sketchy looking food and gives it to Ben 😂
Ben giving to Ben..🤭
I just can’t get over little George digging for gold hardcore style 😂
Lol at 36:67 it was intense and I was laughing hard.
@@cashreedhar da fak
he wasn’t digging for gold, dude was drilling for oil 😹
😂😂😂😂 just come to see if anyone mentioned this
Explains why he went for the fist bump instead of a hand shake at the end, how considerate of him.
ben is really a one in a million character not many people could replicate this kind of content with the same level of charisma
yes! and his travel buddy bald and bankrupt is pretty cool too
@@mickkidston7344 based on the interviews ive seen of him he wasnt charismatic at all
The phone is the best mirror ever.
Ben is the only guy who could make traveling look like an absolute nightmare and also have a travel youtube channel
100% correct comment
F++++n' nightmare of travel partner...
He is not sugarcoating like soooo many others are.. I prefer it this way big time
@@teresalehtonen8499 he seems to be really unfriendly
@@telliere that boat looks awesome, but all those ours tho hll noo, hes cool but grumpy from not sleeping lol
Ben’s Spanish is a real asset, its come on so much and opens up loads of new countries to properly explore! Exciting times for the channel
As a bilingual I sometimes catch myself struggling to figure out if he understands what people are saying or not. Like when he says “I know I know” . Because part of my brain just translates to try and guess what he would have said in English.
Regardless it’s admirable that he is so good at Spanish and russian and who knows how many other languages. And accents are always way harder for learners to understand. So even if he speaks pansies he might not understand the Amazonian accents
yep. it actually is a good lesson to see, that anyone planning on visiting another country should try to get at least basically conversational in its language. Makes it a LOT easier to get around!!!! :)
@@EphemeralProductions That's why a lot of people don't bother to travel
As a native Spanish speaker I must admit that its impressive to see his language skills. Also hats off to his respect towards the locals by taking the time to learn their language. I can't praise him enough!
@@illegalsmirf You don't need to learn the language if you are not travelling like that. Most people don't. They just want a vacation and will never leave the safety of their hotel complex. Personally, I travel like Ben. I will learn the language first and go for the full experience.
That non-stop music is something I can't take.
Then don’t travel to those countries…..
@@JpSierra-g7ksomeone’s upset at people calling out certain countries inability to just be quiet
@@conor7154 and? Go to a funeral home how about?
Mr. Bald is the epitome of a world traveller. Super friendly, well informed, respectful and never complains. What a Legend!
Complains about the food a bit no???
@@BabylonCentral maybe because he didn't like it?
And he is a really cool guy to.
@@sambennett2354 He didn't sneak in, he was there on a valid passport with a Russian visa, speaking the language. The Russian govt decided to shoot itself in the foot and kick him out, it was they who were disrespectful.
That is why so many people love him and his videos.🍒
The way this guy presents these videos with just himself, the towns, the locals and his camera is outstanding.
It seems like he never feels alone, he always makes friends along the way. God I wish I had such a quality. Top man
I must admit that I was quite sad about the end of the journey through the former USSR. I thought it'd mean the end of bald and bankrupt. But I can't stress this enough: Ben has done it again - I'm just as hyped about this as I was when he visited Buran. This is - by far - the best channel on TH-cam.
I found the former USSR bleak and grew tired of it.
@@curiousnomadic I liked it a lot. The conversations were perfect listening exercises to practice my Russian.
I'm just baffled over how he was recording audio on the front of that boat.
There was one former USSR place where Bald newer visited and newer will. Most dangerous place on earth where you can get shot in head on spot because you are white and that place is USA. Alaska used belong USSR but they sold it to USA
yeah wherever he goes it will be good content, but the former ussr countries have certain vibe to them. I hope bald still visits them someday again.
This guy is multitudes better than any docu series I’ve ever seen on cable or fancy streaming service. And it’s free. Absolutely fantastic content.
I would carry enough booze to neutralize the awful music playing all the time.
you must not have seen Best Ever Food Reviews!
He’s the best in the business
Are there any single women between the age of 35 and 45 who would like to meet a good man and possibly travel the world together recording videos for TH-cam? If so, reply here. Thank you
Sorry I have to disagree.. Its pretty crap..
I love the fact, no matter how tired , how fed up you must get with hours of uncomfortable travelling, you are always upbeat and enthusiastic. On that note, you’ve not sold Peru to me.
It is one way to travel that matches what the poorer folks in Peru do. There are various levels up and different destinations to visit as well. Ben visits the nontouristy unbeaten paths trodden by average folk leading their every day lives.
2:57 love how Bald still says "super" like a Russian even when speaking Spanish now 😂
2:57
Is "super" a word like "OK" where everybody in the world uses it now?
People say it in spanish too, like 'super bueno' though you don't really hear it by itself
Germans also say super.
And in Norway we say 'Supert' if it's used by itself. It's just an all round good enhancing word
I love the nose pick photobomb at 37:00! Great video as always!
Respect to this man how he gets integrated and having fun with locals, his effort to learn language amd interact with people just makes ir more watchable
search 'The Dark Reality of Bald and Bankrupt'
Im so happy this man is still out here giving us top of the line traveling vlogs.
He has been to Japan and Vietnam and Afghanistan just before the New Year
I am always astonished by Mr. Bald's ability to interact with literally anyone in the world! Also, 7 times in one night, he said? Hmmm.
Most I've gone in one night was 4 and I literally passed out for 12 hours afterwards 🤣🤣
ive done 8. with a latina of course. and then i think 4 times the next morning
@@liveslowlivesimple good Lord. You must have been parched.
dude you are such an inspiration to go out and explore these places you visit, thanks for sharing
I truly enjoyed how Jorge is fiercely picking his nose in the background while Bald is telling us about stilt houses & politics 😂 36:55
He's really determined to get that bloody booger 🤣
🤣
😂😂
🤣
For a long time _🤣_
36:57 The way he gently massages his nostrils and throws the snot right in balds direction. That, is true love
😂😂
That was foul. Very funny.
Ok good i'm not the only one that seen that. That guy was digging for some serious gold.
@@sirsmudge1000 Spanish came to the New World to find gold too.
Came here just to post that. Then I noted at the end how they enthusiastically shook hands....cmon Jorge. Have some respect...lol
I love that the first thing you do wherever you are is go find the drunkest people in the village, and get travel advice.
More than the views and perspectives you can't get anywhere else i love you INSIGHT and KNOWLEDGE! ty
It's heartwarming to see the guys throwing out biscuits and food to children of the small villages. They didn't have to do it, but they did. Much respect.
Better than the live turtles and cat.
That is how many of the wonderful people are in that part of the world
I loved that as well!
@@RZPPAA cry some moar peta..
🤮🤮🤮
Haha, that moment Bald's friend realizes he shouldn't have thrown away his ticket and his attempts to wind him up after have been hilarious. The turtle guy and the little sloth were such highlights. Thanks for the introduction to the Peruvian Amazonas, man. Until this moment, I only imagined the country with its high mountains. Good luck.
Bald has the best sense of humor and it makes his videos 100x more entertaining!
Also educational He is amazing
What an interesting journey and all the different cultures and people. Thank you Ben for taking us along, to places that most of us might never be able to travel to.
That 28 hour boat trip went from terrifying to magical on camera. I know I personally could not have done it, but watching it gave me great joy. Such a unique experience.
I wonder how the 5 day cargo cruise would have been.
Man, you really make a huge difference to all travel channels on YT. No bs, strange and interesting places and a cool dude towards ppl. Greetz and be safe.
I'm so happy to see my favorite traveler is back at it. There's a lot that duplicate but you're the top dog.👍🏽
@@geckopubg He is one of the OG DangerTubers though.
He didn’t say he was the first traveler.. he said Bald was his Favorite!!
My favorite indubitably
@@slashdotism what’s a danger tuber
Can’t believe Bald only bought 4 beers! I would have gotten 16.
This man really is one of the great travellers of modern times.. and we get to go with him.. fantastic content.
Indeed
Bald and Bankrupt...a real explorer of modern times. 👍🙏
I almost feel guilty that I'm so entertained by Bald with his adventures. Its like watching a horror movie and knowing how it will end. Yet he keeps beating all the odds, and I keep cheering for him… (Cheers Bald, at least for now! Lol)
Knowing how it all ends? What do you mean?
there are far more dangerous places than Peru
you are so dramatic. where he is isn't even dangerous
you soft
When you start travelling you'll recognize there's a certain type of danger in every single country on the planet. Be dilligent and respectful and at the same don't take no shit and everything mostly going to be okay, Couldn't imagine myself not travelling somewhere because what might be
these videos really put into perspective how other people live around the world. i need to be more grateful of what i have, and how most of everything i need or want is accessible to me.
Absolutely true!
I'm from middle class Mexico City and even I feel like so so so blessed after seeing this video. I don't think I've seen a non paved road in months
I have an 18-year old and it was really important to me that she experience Mexico to see that not everyone shares the same privilege she grew up with. We're in Texas, so there are a lot of places that could trade places with Mexico. It made her cry, she really had no idea. It was a good lesson in treating others that are less fortunate with kindness and respect.
@@sophia.lb95 a nepobaby?
You are write we are lucky and that poor little cat dieing in the street don't these local people have a hart i would of helped it
I love how you can be in the middle of the amazon with people from a totally different culture and the banter and conversation is so familiar. We are all human.
Underrated comment
Man, if we make first contact with aliens, Benjamin should be our ambassador.
Yes
How do you even know that they hav...... I've said too much already...
Aliens have no babushkas
@@TruthAplomado True, but they might have soviet stuff in their space ships.
I just started watching your channel its awesome 😊
Suggestion: Idk how's your schedule after Venezuela, but since you're in the Amazon, you could take a boat to the Brazilian Amazon and stop by Manaus and Santarém. Alternatively, coming from Venezuela, you could enter Brazil by its northenmost state and you can even climb the insanely beautiful Roraima Mount (that square mountain that inspired the movie "Up" and has the highest waterfall in the world).
But anyway, south of Santarém, there is a ghost town in the middle of freaking nowhere. It's called Fordland, and it's where Henry Ford himself sent his men and machinery to build an utopian american city in the middle of the Amazon in order to extract rubber for his car's tires. And boy, did it go wrong! It's a pretty eerie place with a fantastic and unknown history.
The lack of good content about this city is criminal, you should 100% go there.
I'm a tour guide in Santarém and I've been to Fordland a few times. Let me know if you need any info!
Greetings from the Brazilian Amazon!
Great idea
Been watching for years but never comment. This suggestion deserves recognition
I have to agree Fordland would be excellent content I saw an old documentary about this would be interesting to see how much the jungle has reclaimed that land.
Seems like a great idea honestly
I think he already finished the trip because he talked about it being christmas day or something
I'm soo glad you are posting frequently now. Would loved some more of japan .
I really didn’t like the Japan videos at all
He has been to Japan and Vietnam and Afghanistan just before the New Year
@@jumpy2xstreaming there was only 1 video what you talking about? 💀
Even if Bald would spoke Japanese, Japanese people don't chat with strangers. Or anyone. Except their relatives. Maybe. Im not so sure even about that. In japanese language, there is a strict caste system. They speak totally different with those who are above em in society than with those who are below them. Thats why japanese people rarely speak english. Coz in english language there is no caste system at all. So they remain silent. For them its still better than to offend anyone. You can barely interact with japanese people in their own country.
Bald in Japan is hilariously awkward, its great
not gonna lie, i just found this channel and went down the rabbit hole and watched 5 straight videos. your content is amazing, you really know how to connect with people and give a very interesting and positive perspective to the places you visit. you make it feel like an adventure to new places i've never seen or heard about and you make it feel like we're there with you. there's no reason that this couldn't be on mainstream tv. if it were, i'd tune in to every episode. wish you luck, best to you in the future.
Watch sabbatical
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 what is "sabbatical"?
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 never mind, found his channel👌
All of his content is amazing. Wait until you come across his Russian content. Its all incredible!
The Chocolate lady didn’t say “don’t film, I have a big belly” in dumbed down Spanish she said “no tome, malo tú hígado” which pretty much translates to “don’t drink, it’s bad for your liver”.
As a Colombian that doesn't live in Colombia anymore, I'm stoked.
Yes, there is blaring music everywhere. You get a taxi, loud music, boat? Loud music, city streets? Loud music, beach? Loud music. It's a very interesting cultural phenomenon. Also people yell at each other from distances rather than walking closer and talking at a normal volume. This is more predominant the closer you get to the coastal cities.
Let me guess, you're in the USA now.
I heard that Brazil is the same.
@@MyNextShotWontMiss no he just speaks english better than most native speakers for fun.
To a peace and quiet loving Finn like me that sounds like an absolute nightmare. Completely opposite culture I guess. Then again, get a couple of drinks in me and it's all good lol.
@@kakerandelin haha yes, I go once a year since my parents still live there, it's hard for me to deal with the constant noise.
We continue to sit down with 5 generations of the family and all of us learn something new, have a laugh and you truly inspire us to discover the fascinating world we live in. Thank you from the Cox and Lake Families x
🧢
That’s awesome! Your family knows what to watch for group TV sessions
Ben, the way your spanish has improved dramatically across such a short period of time has astonished me!
It's amazing. I on the other hand forgot all the Spanish I studied for 7 years of school.
@@ASHERUISE same it's why I'm so amazed
Seeing that cat close to death just laying there on the street and nobody helping it or putting it out of it's misery was heartbreaking.
yupp
maybe im wrong or being racist or w/e but i think people in those environments are familiar with death in a way we in the west are seperated from, it's not as jarring to them. Probably grew up killing chickens for lunch with their hands.
@@Metaphix not racist dont be dumb . words are words ...words cant hurt unless you let them . we dont teach that anymore
I love the fact Ben has learnt Spanish and is back in areas outside of Eastern Europe. It was his Indian adventures that got me hooked
His India videos are what got me hooked too!
Aren't we all
it's confusing with two Bens..easier if we refer to Bald by his stage name
yet you haven't learned English's yet...Learned*.
I love the polar opposites of both bens. Bald is always ready to go and energetic and backpacker ben is like " why am I doing this?'
Ben like a lost Sheep
Bald in real life is a silent dude, the only reason Bald enjoyed the boat ride trip is because he slept well in the boat.
Inspiring levels of Spanish. I could sense the basic construct of the conversations but you have all of the right vocabulary at the ready, dropping those words in like a seasoned expat. You've unlocked a continent! Well done!
Very informative and your adventures show the courage you have. Best wishes to you and your comrade, Benjamin.
I declare our dear Bald a national treasure. The world is a better place with him and his channel in it. Thanks Benjamin.
National treasure? Sorry to seem argumentative, but I don’t know what nation you comment from. He’s English, and I’m Nebraskan, so I’d say…he’s a world treasure!
That was the most enjoyable TH-cam video I've seen in weeks. What an outstanding country. Great job and happy travels.
Bald has got to be one of the most socially skilled men in the world.
A MI6 agent has to be.
He's just tall and white.

Watched on the big screen, commenting on the phone.
Ben, I watched Backpacker Ben's video yesterday and from his side of the trip it looked like a real shitshow, but you're able to make that journey look enjoyable. You're bloody amazing! Be careful what you drink or eat down there, too many ways to get very sick. Take care mate, and I didn't even hear you say Soviet during the entire vid, that's amazing.

Love you bald! Keep up with the good work and doing what you’re doing man. I started traveling a lot more because of you and Harold!
One thing thats great is that the Russian incident didn’t stop Ben from getting off his butt and bringing new adventures to his fans, his continued comical communications with the locals and knowledge of the various languages helps make his videos so interesting….
what happened in russia?
He was arrested and harassed
The big Russia saga..
I have just come across your videos and found this one very interesting. I have just subscribed
With love from kenya 🇰🇪 in East Africa
Bald's Spanish has improved immensely. Respect!
I know this will get buried but if you read this bald: THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN!
Your consistent spontaneity and positivity are infectious and just what the world needs:)
Keep up the great work!
I totally agree with you.

Same. Can't get the scene out of my head
😔
Yes its sad to see lil kat dying on street of that village in Amazon. In west people giving more concentration, interest on LGBTQ,,, Cat, Dog, windmill, electric vehecles and all. Look at those human life in that village of south america life standard and their life style. Their houses, transport vehicles, environment all are looking more sad and bad shape than the cat on street..,
@@nammifischer5526 Worse living conditions but happier people. Interesting phenomenon. Because their lives are hard (unlike in the west) they don’t make up mental nonsense to worry about.
@@rockig5529 True. That world is simple. And a simple life is a happy one. Sure I can buy every essential I want in America. But my 9-5 life, and governmental responsibilities is driving me mad. When I retire, I just wanna go off to some small village and die in peace tbh.
In a perfect world the kitten would be chilling in Prague as Fidel's new baby brother or sister but unfortunately Bald can't save every cat.
I've been there! Crazy to see it on here! I met with a linguistic anthropologist there and traveled to a village where he was studying the language of the amahuaca tribe. We lived with them for a while. Best experience of my life. Wonderful culture Wonderful beautiful people.
Now i have no wonder why your nickname masterninja, maybe inspired by ninjaturtle
love this amazon series to see the villages and people you interact
Anthropology, social psychology, sociology, geography, history, and much more with any of Balds videos! Great work mate!😀
Yours is the one TH-cam video I won't immediately binge after getting the notification, instead I'll wait until I'm home, grab a beer, fire up the home cinema and vanish into your world. Thanks for creating this wonderful content for us!
Lol “two things the Chinese gave us Covid and the picnic area thing” 😂😂😂 that had me dying so true 😂
13:00 that dog is having the time of his life!
These videos are epic bald. I could watch them for hours. So glad you're learning Spanish and travelling South America. Long may they continue :)
the destigmatized honest looks you give through places like these are always so refreshing. we hear so much fearmongering about poor countries in regions like south america and the middle east but you really show people are just people. great watches
People die by going to wrong places. It's not partyland and nice people everywhere. Most people here are nice, but go to the wrong place, and you are toast. Couple of years ago two french tourists were killed and left hanging from a tree in northern Argentina, in the middle of nowhere. Policemen in rural places are shit too. Many times people are killed or left behind to cover some other shit too. Beware. Have hospitals and transport near if you are going by yourself.
@@KAPANGAAAMASTER don't know what you're on about. never said the places weren't dangerous. media just usually only shows the crime and poverty, not the people. just said its refreshing
@@KAPANGAAAMASTEROf course, but that exact statement is true to any “1st world country” just as well.
While there are differences, it’s not like there’s the perfect place called “the west” and every other place is just a hellhole where you get mugged and murdered every second, like a lot of people make it out to be
Looks miserable but it is interesting
@@zao.224 It looks miserable from a developed western perspective. But I guarantee you they don't have the mental health epidemics that our countries do. The people in these videos are demonstrably happy with what they have; and how they live their lives.

I love how the two Bens can see exactly the same thing and produce such vastly different videos
What a wholesome episode! Completely different life from our cold Europe, and such beautiful nature. Thank you so much, Ben!
Benjamin's videos are so captivating and a joy to watch. It is so easy for him to talk to the locals; being such an extrovert.
That type of jungle tobacco is called there "Mapacho" (Nicotiana Rustica) , it's a differemt species of tobacco than common tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and contains about 9 times more nicotine. It's used there as a sacrament, definitely don't want to inhale it😅
The poor cat dying in the street broke me .

Yay great to see Bald content. I'm glad you are still out there living the dream.
Itchy boots was on a boat like this just a few months ago. And made friends with the river boat captain & crew.
Mr Bald, you can't travel in that part of the world without making Ben take some Ayahuasca and filming him communing with the spirits of the Amazon.
Haha trueee
Best thing is this can never end, there’s always somewhere new to explore
40:29 You lost me there baldy, that’s my thumbnail 😂😂😂
Absolutely enjoyed this, it's good to see how folks travel on the Amazon, thanks Benjamin
Just when I think Ben has topped his video’s, he releases a gem like this. Far and away the best video he has done so far. Special mention the river dolphins. Getting them on camera was epic
Possibly the best video I have seen from you mate. This was heartwarming to see you go to the village and travel on the boat in a beautiful part of the world
So happy I found this channel. I’ve been binge watching this like it’s Netflix!
I am not exaggerating i laughed harder than i have in my life when he put that shell on 🤣 that was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my 34 year life. Thank the Lord for that turtleman, and also for you being willing to travel 29 hours to bring him to my screen 🤣
search 'The Dark Reality of Bald and Bankrupt'
You must have had an extremely dull life, then.
@@dubart67 wdym it's literally the funniest thing that has ever came out on the internet and on youtube, hell it's funnier than all oscar movies combined. Like i've been to the hospital 5 times this week because i was risking heart attacks from laughing so damn much
36:49 OMFG I don't know why that guy picking his nose so hard made me laugh, he was proper going for it, glad it was just a fist pump at the end for Bald 🤣🤣
