- In this episode I am hunting for ancient petroglyphs, left scattered around the volcanic island of Isla de Ometepe by indigenous Indians. I'm also searching for a hidden waterfall in the jungle, which is not so easy to reach!

If my videos look fuzzy to you, please make sure you select 4K for resolution! 😊
Your videos are always amazing, regardless of the resolution! Thank you Noraly
Trust me....I'm the goof she's talking about. She has better resolution than anyone...just check your machine for your resolution settings. She goes way past 1080p. Just check where your machine resolution is set. I'm the international dummy who was way off, having problems. My bad. Apologies.
I’m happy only to feel you emotion in each video. I see you like inside of the coconut. Me too. But no alway they have this surprise inside. Ride safe please. ❤️
Well, now ya tell me. I always wondered if it was cuz you had spotty wifi. This is me 🤦♀ I may go back and watch some others now.

I was amazed that an 18 year old Nicaraguan girl happens to have ancient petroglyphs in her back garden & gets to be an unofficial tour guide & curator for them whenever a passing tourist knocks on her door & asks about them. It seems like it would be nice for somebody to give her some support & help in her role as their custodian...
I am sure many do...I would slip her a few bucks for sure
Agreed. I hope Noraly kicked her down a tip.
@@mikejones8866 Most respectfully: A mistake too many Americans and some foreigners make is applying our social norms where they don't belong, as an example, tipping where tipping is not customary or expected. Sometimes a genuine appreciation and simple thank you is appropriate. Tipping, or overpaying may be no bueno and often culturally inappropriate. I would respect Noraly's understanding of her environment / local culture to make the right decision.
Your videos, more than ever are a release from the worries of the world. For 20 min or so you give us all such peace and beauty. Thank you. Keep making 'em. Never stop.
*It's surreal because Nicaragua is ruled by a brutal bloody dictatorship. Just recently they expelled from the country Mother Teresa's nuns.*
Never get tired of your commentaries. Always super interesting and every day is a school day.
Can you imagine being able to walk out of your garden/courtyard and being able to touch 5000 year old historical artifacts like that. WOW.
Another great video.
My wife and I were talking about you this morning, (were your ears burning)? Anyway, Kay was saying how incredibly brave you are to go through all these countries on a motorcycle all by yourself. And I have to agree with her. Now I consider myself somewhat of a daredevil as well even at 71 years old. I was a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne and also did some skydiving. But my wife and I agree, that what you do, going through all these countries and their borders crossing just takes a lot more nerve that we have. Every morning, one of the first things I do is to check that bell to see if you have another video up. Thanks for all the hours of entertainment.
Is that you, Godfather?
Culture, cuisine, a waterfall and volcano, with some challenging terrain to ride without luggage. A perfect mix!
Ometepe and lakes cocibolca roots chakra of americas unity through timeless inner wisdom,great work congratulations 🌐💚👍🏼👏🏻🗽☸️🪴🪷
Nicaragua is certainly a beautiful country filled with friendly people! Vanessa was definitely a great tour guide of the rock carvings. The hike to the amazing waterfall was certainly worth the effort! The fruit and nut lesson was very neat! So many interesting things to learn. Thank you Noraly for sharing your knowledge and understanding of the world you travel through on your amazing journey! Ride safe!
Until some militia take you hostage. Can you please americans stop coming to places wanting to believe people is nice an simpler, but you are just seen as a meat bag with dollars on it. Specially woman, the naiveness is terrifying to watch.
A really great adventure. It was so nice of that young girl to show her Treasures. I'm sure it was a nice finding. A trip to the Village was interesting and delicious. This one was a very good finding.
Another fascinating glimpse into hidden wonders, and the people who live in these beautiful places. Wow - I sure did not know that's what banana trees do! Haha - it sounds like pineapples are the elephants of the fruit world. They take up a lot of space, and have a 2 year pregnancy. Wonderful botany lecture ending with a coconut massacre. 😆 Thank you!!
Sending a warm hug to you Noraly. Happy international women days. How brave adventurous and inspiring woman you are.
Amazing content even without the drone. What a beautiful botanical garden. You manage to make every episode so entertaining and educational. A big thumbs up.
Safe travels!
I believe she used the drone at the waterfall place.
@@AbadaniNo, no drone footage. She mentioned that in her 'Welcome to Nicaragua' video that Nicaragua have some of the most stringent drone video footage rules and as such, we shouldn't be expecting any drone type footage to be taken and uploaded by her during her Nicaragua series adventure.
@@evoski3 Sure, we will stick with that, but you see her in the background of the shot, but I guess some giant held the camera for her ;)
I love these guided tour episodes! And the music accompanying the coconut massacre was perfect!
Incredible. To have petroglyphs in your backyard!
Living next to a cemetery I can say you get used to it...
Another once in a lifetime experience you have taken us on. Tropical fruit in abundance. A rainwater shower and ancient maps to explore. Love your videos.
Those petroglyphs were absolutely fascinating! Amazing that they were made so many thousands of years ago.
I wish all jungle hikes were rewarded with fresh waterfalls 💦
The place is covered in them, many probably undiscovered or forgotten again. Someone should 3D map them before they erode away like the dogs head one.
The crocodile carving was amazing. Somehow, these carvings should be preserved!
Ya the carvings were amazing covering such an area. The crosses had me confused though, maybe they're not as old as stated, although crosses were used as symbols before Christianity.
@@edbruder9975 crosses have been used by indigenous people around the world many thousands of years BEFORE Christianity.
WHAT A PRIVILEGE!!! How many people of the world will get to see these ancient petroglyphs? Not many. You also had a famous, beautiful guide, Vanessa, living with, protecting and showing these ancient carvings. NORALY!!! How wonderful was that? You are so fortunate. Yes, a shower in that marvelous waterfall was a refreshing must. To me, that waterfall would mean hydro-electricity. A dam wouldn’t be necessary, just a pipe, water wheel and a generator…and a battery with LEDs in the house. Life sustaining, healing, delicious trees and plants everywhere. Heaven on earth…WOW…SMH, I hope your guide’s family will study and stay there, healthy and happy forever. Careful, too much coconut water is a laxative. Learned how to open, drink and eat coconut in Hawaii. This adventure was so much fun, so incredibly interesting. I am truly grateful to you for sharing. Texas
Great episode Noraly! Vanessa was so thrilled to show you all the petroglyphs on her property, it seems like you really made her day! Very fascinating that those rocks are just laying around in what might be their original locations... Very thorough research on the island too! - fun and educational at the same time!
I'm absolutely positive the rock petroglyphs are in their original locations. Many of them would be nearly impossible to relocate.
That cacao brings back old happy memory. We used to have around 10 cacao trees in our backyard. Then we picked the cacao fruits/pods and ate the white flesh coating of the bean. Then we gather the beans and dry it up under the sun for days. Once dried, my mom roasted the beans. Then roasted beans will be fed into a small mill machine to produce raw and thick chocolate. That's the real dark chocolate and when you eat it you'll have like a drunk feeling :-)
I think those leaves in the fruit basket were Muringya leaves, the superfood. It's fruit has long been a staple in India with enormous health benefits. Another stellar episode.
This is not just a ride around some countries! This is an education. I wouldn't be surprised, to hear about them showing your video's in schools in the future. You are certainly in a class of your own.
Norally, every video is a winner. My wife and I have watched from series 1-1 onwards and are amazed by them all. So brilliant you look avidly for off road tracks and show us all the wonders you see. loved this one as usual. The fruit bit was great, but yes your coconut cutting skills need to be honed. Like all your fans, we love you and you have shown often it is not the ordinary folk who are making this world a dangerous place.
Ha Noraly, leuk om te zien dat ,al dat lekkers uit het oerwoud, leuk gr Dick.
Nora, it is very impressive that you upload in 4K, mad respect for that extra work and doing it remotely over cell data...wow!
Can't wait for the next one!
Another fabulous video, Noraly. In addition, you are the greatest teacher. Also, you have eaten all sorts of things along the way, and you have never said: "Oh, I feel bad of my stomach." You are absolutely terrific. God bless.
from the state of the rock art it's evident no one has been there to check them out in a long while..Noraly must have been the first interested person to venture out there...i love it when Noraly goes out of her way to find places of scientific or historical interest 👍
Another history lesson in friendlyNicaragua, great work Noraly. Bravo.👍👏👏
And to end with a fruit tree trip in the place where you we’re staying. 👍👍
You never cease to amaze me with your knowledge of where you are. Young 18 yr old is living in the center of an amazing land. When you saw that waterfall I thought to myself I’d be soaking my poor feet in that cold water. I bet it was refreshing! I would have spent a long time in it until I turned blue. I remet as s child finding a spring and I couldn’t wait to get out of my shoes and socks and bury my feet in ice water!!! What an Island. Great video Noraly 👍👍
Hmmm, Noraly visits rock formations, checking out volcanoes. Who would have guessed? THANKS for taking us along Noraly.
That mostly edible forest seemed to make you very happy indeed! 😄 The only other location I remember seeing you this obviously cheerful was at motorcycle shops!
At the beginning of the video, you said "First thing today is hunt for some petro…" (Me thinking "…l, on the way to a fuel station. 🤔") "…glyphs!" ("Ah, she has the Rally now! 🤗")
That waterfall is so beautiful so bustling with green all around! Such beauty everywhere there! 😍 And all the rest, and… Muoh! I love it! 🥰
I LOVED this video! I gotta say, as soon as you pulled up to the waterfall I was like omg I really hope you take a dip in that water and step under the waterfall, its begging for someone to do it. And then you did and it gave me visual pleasure hahaha. You look like you had a blast today, fun ride, adventure hike, refreshing waterfall and wild fruit picking and tasting. What more could you possibly ask for?? And no need for drone footage, you still made it WOW!
Great video, scenery, waterfall, archaeology, and a fruit tutorial. There is never a dull moment, so much to explore on Noraly's journeys. Thanks for taking us along!
Secret maps, waterfalls, tropical fruits, the lessons never end. What a fantastic place you picked to stay Noraly. The tropics always make me feel like home. A wonderful episode again.
You are soaking in each country that your in, with your interactions with the locals, Boots! Very nice! Chow.
I'm your avid fan here, silently tailing you in your journey. the fruits you featured here are the exact fruits here in Mindanao, and as you mentioned the cacao, I remember suddenly that I have in my backyard golden pods that needs to be harvested, so i pause your video went into my backyard and climbed and hand picked those beautiful cacao fruit. So, i too had my little adventure because of you and a quick screen break.😆😆😆
Seems Alaska is fitting you so well, good size and enough power. Again thanks for taking us with you on this epic journey.
Interesting about the pineapple growth time, didn't know that. Your newest fan (my little granddaughter) is 2 years old and watches your videos with great interest!
Delicious tropical fruit, wonderful petroglyphs, friendly native people. Latin America is so nice!
That waterfall is fantastic - lucky for the cool-down. The explosion that deposited all those boulders must have been incredible
Qué buena jornada! Caminos de piedra y tierra, petroglifos, cascada y jardín botánico! Acaso es Nicaragua el Paraíso Perdido? Parece que sí!
solo me causaba un poco de stress que la chica caminara sobre los petroglifos. Es que no sabe el tesoro que tienen.
Pensé lo mismo que usted: Nicaragua tiene unos alimentosos dignos del paraiso. Gracias Noraly por compartir.
Si, es el Paraiso perdido.
My father taught me how to properly prepare and eat artichokes. Each time he would always comment, "just imagine how hungry the first person was who cooked and ate one of these prickly things!" Then we'd laugh and speculate who "that" person or animal might have been. My thoughts throughout the entire tour of the plantation! This country is totally self sustaining, beautiful, lush, and kind to our tour guide. Thank you again Noraly.
You are such an inspiration. I know you have inspired me to go on more adventures with my motorcycle. I hope all people can be as inspired as I have been by your videos and your exploration of the world and it’s different cultures. Stay safe and keep being you. Thank you for what you do.
Vanessa was a big help with the rock carvings. Another waterfall masterpiece. Yum fruit garden.
Hi Noraly, Vanessa was incredibly person, her dedication to showing you old petroglyphs was amazing. This is different world than we live. Ciao.
All the random horses in this region are so charming. They aren't exactly wanting attention, just like to stare at the weird humans passing by. Love the finale - fruit extravaganza! 🥭🍍🍈
I've grow up in a tropical country and now i am in living Europe. This fruits tasting experience gave so many wonderful memories of my childhood that ive cried. 😭
I've learned more watching Noraly than all the schooling I've had. What a great time!
Thank you my virtual traveling partner for exploring the world together....
Belated Happy Women's day, Be safe and sound. Love and luck ❤
EVERY EPISODE is packed with adventure, suspense, knowledge and entertainment. You can become blasé that it is all filmed and produced by one (super) woman, Noraly, on her motorcycle. It's the best adventure series EVER. Besos, Noraly.
Noraly thank you for taking us on this special journey. Those petroglyphs are amazing. Spectacular scenery as well. Alaska is certainly the best choice of bike on those rough tracks. Fresh tropical fruits are my favourite.
Clicked for a MAP and STAYED THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH… legit yelled “no!” When it ended - that waterfall and fruit tour was amazing.
Amazing! I think we close out nature so much in the"1st world" that we forget how much it has to offer!
Also I most 1st world countries away from the tropics. So you don't really have these kinds of tropical and rainforests in most 1st word countries. Curious huh!
I love every episode! Vanessa was very intelligent and a good guide. It made my heart happy to see she knows there is one true God. May God bless her and her family.
As always her vlogs are very entertaining and enjoyable. I appreciate the time that she takes in post production to make her videos informative and worthwhile to watch.
I am so happy you can taste all those tropical fruits. Of course there are a lot more that you should try. Mangoes are far better directly from the tree.....unlike what is sold in temperate countries.
You drank that coconut water like a true Trini !! We have all those fruits on our island.
Happy for you !
Trinidad & tobago, West Indies.
Absolutely amazing you are, like the waterfall. You are a real explorer, Norally. All your episodes are real eye-openers for those who watch.
Spanish wasn't on my language menu but I am already limping at 27% spoken and surely I can understand about 33% of what I hear by watching this old videos.. Noraly, Noraly!!😄😄😄💕
This island is a paradise ❤️
To think that all these regions at one time were this lush and verdant when the early peoples fully inhabited this area of the world. Its stunning my friend.
Captivated and in awe of your travels. Your channel is fast becoming my favorite place on the internet. I look forward to seeing your progress and adventures with great anticipation. Safe journey!
I cringed as you butchered the coconut! The star fruit brought back childhood memories, my great-grandmother had a "Carambola" tree in her backyard in Honduras. Nice job Noraly!
Thank you. You never disappoint - Another visual treat!
Another adventurous day. Culture, waterfalls und delicious fruits. Thanks for taking us with you, Noraly. Günter from Nürnberg/Germany
The riding over those rock roads has to be a sure sign of your strength and of Alaskas as well,and thanks for taking us along again,ride safe and we will be praying for you as well.See you tomorrow!
Tourists, tourism and riding throughout South America, Central America, North America definitely will increase with itchy boots presence.
Peace ☮️ acknowledgment and interest for cultures, history and languages of places is what we appreciate from Noraly’s journey.
I loved this episode Noraly, very informative. Great technical track to the waterfall too. I'm addicted to this channel now. Even staying up late to watch. Keep up the awesome effort.
Me2😃 Sometimes, like right now, I'm watching in the middle of the night 😉
@@johnny9895 , yep i was the same last night. It came on at 11pm. I'm usually in bed by 9pm bit justed wanted to get a travelling on motorbike fix and Noraly provides this.
Not only atre we getting a guided tour of the jungle but we are getting a lessonon the local fruit and what they taste like. A botanical lesson to boot!!!!. Noraly never stops amazing us with her skills. Lance and Regina. Australia.
I have worked several times at the island of Ometepe to help a local business to improve.
On my last visit i came by car from Managua to Ometepe and went back with a plane which
Visited several strips in the area before heading back to Managua. Nice memories
These videos are better than anything I’ve seen on TV…by far
As always Noraly, a very interesting video packed with amazing content. And all at ground level . There is never a dull moment in your videos. Thanks so much. Cheers , peace and stay safe. Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Wow!! What a great video Noraly with so much entertaining information. The young lady was especially helpful with the petroglyphs. And I bet that waterfall shower after being so hot, was like a bit of heaven.
Sho, now that was educational and very interesting, never to old to learn something new. Thanks Noraly for taking the time to show us more. Stay safe.
Noraly, I just recently found your videos, and can I tell you that I am fascinated by you. when I am having a bad day, I come home and watch a couple of your videos and soon I am living vicariously through you. You are doing what I should have done, when I was young enough to actually do them, but I was not brave enough. Thank you for what you do, and I must tell you, you have the greatest laugh I have ever heard.
5000 years of history all craved in stone -amazing. All along I guess people have been super friendly and helpful. Guess it's in their DNA. You have a lot of content to someday write a book on your travels. I can predict it will be a bestseller :-)
Noraly is better than an encyclopedia. I sure learned a lot about fruits that I never knew before.
What a trooper, a tough ride to the waterfall, fallowed by a tougher hike,with your helmet and camera gear. Well done, nice to finish it off with a shower, and some interesting fresh fruit. Enjoying Nicaragua.👍
Noraly is Simply Amazing!
@@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr she definitely is! This world really would be a better world with some more Noralys 👏
Hi, Norally
I have seen all seasons, they are all fantastic
Agreed. She's a pro and we are lucky.
What a productive land Nicaragua is. Seeing all those fruits in one place was amazing. Shower under waterfall must have been so rewarding after that hot trek.
Great and very interesting content again.Thanks Noraly.👍
HELLO NORELI THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR VISITING AND SHOWING THOSE BEAUTIFUL SITES OF OUR COUNTRY I THANK YOU FROM THE HEART FOR SHOWING THE WORLD WHAT OUR COUNTRY IS LIKE GOD ALWAYS ACCOMPANY YOU IN YOUR ADVENTURES AND ALWAYS PROTECT YOU I HOPE YOU CONTINUE ENJOYING CENTRAL AMERICA GREETINGS FROM NICARAGUA FROM NEW JERSEY
Itchy boots.. Today's episode is a revelation to me from the southern top of India.. Nicaragua :what a similarity in the foliage and plants growing there .. The plants & fruits are exactly what we have here in Kerala in India..those Small Bananas with square edges, Jack fruit (it was declared state fruit of kerala recently ), coconuts (kerala literally means land of coconuts) star fruit, turmeric, cocoa, passion fruits.. There must be strange connection between these two places across the globe.. Kerala & Nicaragua.. It just can't be a coincidence .. Whew..
the connection could be the spanish/portugese people that came to India long ago ~1500 AD
Same in Assam. Except d Cacao, everything else there is also common in Assam & NE India, looked like a typical rural Assamese backyard garden.
To be honest jack fruits are not common in the country. The other fruits are certainly common. Obviously the cacao is common since it has been used from ancient times, along Mexico, Central America and northern South America. FAO has help introduce a wide variety of foreign fruits.
A refreshing change of pace with Indiana Jones style, and covers a lot of local ground, without riding far. You deserve reliable internet and plenty of fresh fruit. When you hit a million, you should do an episode sitting in a chair on the beach, with a tall, cold glass.
Another great episode. Really interesting carvings. A shame you couldn't use your drone at the waterfall, you got some great shots though. And we got Itchyboots the botanist / horticulturalist here as well. Looks like you found a great place to stay.
Don't give her ideas, man! I need the videos!!1! 😱
Lol…. Yes! Keep on traveling and show us the rest of the world we live in! :)
Fabulous, Noraly! I especially loved when you showed us the different fruits, and some we can get in local groceries! Beautiful country. Happy travels! 🌺🌴🌞💕
Hey Man, when she crossed the border she excused herself and said the drones are not allowed in Nicaragua. Therefore we shall mess the aerial footages.
@@bethedifference1798 Great memory, I had forgotten that!
The front suspension action shot at about 15:10...we need more of that ! Alaska is not a Pro grade rally bike maybe, but that just makes her all the more impressive , when we see what she is absorbing for you...She has been a great machine.
You’re getting close to 1 Million subscribers ❤️ you share such Joy And Happiness
I work in a grocery store in the USA, in the produce department and we sell jack fruit. People are always amazed by this large fruit. I was told they grow at the bottom of the trees and how awesome it is to see it in person. I learn something every day from you because I'm still catching up on your videos. Thank you!!!!
I got into a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago because a dog crossed the street. I fractured my foot. I won't be able to ride again for a few months. I watch your videos all the time so I can always feel what it's like to ride, to have a taste of adventure.
Hope you get well soon!
Greets from the Netherlands 🌷, T.
Wishing you a fast recovery. Ciao from Roma Italy
Get well soon! I have just been contemplating upgrading my boots to full motocross boots.
Noraly, you where like lightning cutting the coconut, you never struck the same place twice. A great day of adventure. Thank you…
A really neat tour - the woman that showed you around the petroglyphs was really helpful and nice to give you a tour and explain what they represented. Your trip to the waterfall was amazing - glad you were able to shower in the pretty waterfall and get through the trail. Gorgeous scenery and great pictures. A fun tour of the place you stayed at and a tour of all the fruits, bananas, and coconuts on the property. You found a cool place to stay. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!
Love how they showed you their secret map to you. Nice to meet people from all different culture. They are so friendly.
5000 to 1,000,000 subscribers! Go! Go! Go! girl.
This Episode brings back memories of my teenage years in fathers hometown thank you miss Noraly
Just 5k subscribers to 1 million wow you are doing great Noraly 👍
Noraly, your approach to the people you meet is so pleasant, no one could respond in a less than appreciative manner. Your secret to success is your delight and faith in people and their surroundings. I truly admire your travels and all you share.
Nice roads! When I first visited Ometepe in 2005, the paving stones were just being laid near the port. All of the roads were rough and I had the lucky seat with my brother in the back of a truck bed. Ugh, I was so motion sick.
The petroglyphs are indeed intriguing, so cool to see. Finding the waterfall in the humid jungle after the hike was a great reward. So pretty! Love everything you do, your happiness and laughs, camerawork, educational stuff, everything is top notch and so fun to watch. Thoroughly enjoying!
Thanks for making days feel positive and good
Finally a food vlog that this plant based diet loving human can enjoy with zero cringing ha thanks for sharing xo
Your previous video came in handy on the game show Jeopardy which aired 7 March 2022.
A small river connects these 2 lakes that combined form close to 10% of the country's area.
What are Lake Nicaragua and Lake Managua? Thanks Noraly !! 👍
As a Costarican, I ate jack fruit (although not at all a common part of the regular diet), assorted varieties and preparations of bananas (guineo, plátano maduro, patacón), passion fruit drink, coconut water, pineapple and citrus; just in the past few days, but seeing Noraly describe those same plants and the fruits is a fascinating experience. Ometepe is a place worth experiencing more than once. It goes back into the bucket list.
