Eating Grubs and Holding Tarantulas in Peru's Amazon Rainforest 🇵🇪
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ส.ค. 2024
- After fishing for piranhas and swimming in Peru's Amazon River (with who knows what), we decided to continue on with trying crazy new things, since we’d probably only be in the Amazon rainforest once. On day three, we agreed to eating the suri, which are large, chubby grubs that the Peruvian locals of the jungle enjoy eating for its great health benefits. And to follow that, on day four in the Amazon, we agreed to holding a large tarantula to end our wild adventure in the rainforest. We did so many crazy things that were far out of our comfort zones, and we had no regrets for any of it. Our time in Peru's Amazon will be one that we look back on and laugh about for many years years to come. We are so grateful to have had this experience in the jungle. This concludes our time in Peru- catch you all in the next country! 🇵🇪

Bye to you guys and a huge thanks for showcasing the people, culture, scenery and the great food of our beautiful Peru. God bless you in your future travels. Hugs from Peru and buena suerte
I would eat the grubs and let a tarantula crawl on me but only if Freddie was near by. Guys, you are becoming a part of my life! I am so proud of your positive spirits and the mission you are sharing! I would quess you are going to be in Central America next. See you soon.
Wow Lois! So kind of you to share. Freddie immediately makes us feel safe haha. Excited to share where we are now! :)
This Amazon series was my fave, so far. Freddie is the man!
Thank you for visiting Peru, guys 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
I really appreciate you shared this experience with your subscribers so more people can visit Peru in the future. Whenever you want to come back again, Peru will always welcome you both with a big, warm hug. 👍
I’m an RV enthusiast, and to be completely honest with you both, I didn’t think I’d be liking your channel any longer once you sold your Ford Connect….WOW, WAS I EVER WRONG 😑
It’s not about your vehicle, it’s totally about your personalities and wonderfully joyous outlook on life! In this ever increasing dystopian World we live in today, I feel that because of you two, THE WORLD is a much better place to live in 👏🏼
Please continue being safe out there 🤗
The Title is not about van life
@@finsandprops1797 They grew their channel by living the Van Life FIRST! You may not understand the Van reference, but Chad & Claire clearly do….
Hey Robert! Sorry for the delay in response. Honestly, we expected a lot of people to leave our channel after selling the van and obviously some have, but we are finding SO much joy in our new video series. Thank you for your incredibly kind words, we are so glad you enjoy our outlook on life. :)
Awesome Amazon Rain Forest video! Bravo 👏 👏 👏. This is Modern time Fear Factor and better. You are amazing pushing each other to do the impossible. Swim in the river, fish sharp tooth piranhas, ear grub and let tarantula crawl on your body. Wow that is really impressive. Once again, your background preparation, presentation, story telling and drone shots are outstanding and top notch.
Can’t wait for your next adventure and action packed video.
My guess is south East Asia (Taiwan/Thailand or Malaysia). Have a safe journey.
Grubs for me? NO WAY!!! Watching you guys eat them was enough for me :) you are amazing!!!!
Awesome job so glad that you are experiencing connections with the great people of Peru.
I just found you two and binge watched your entire Peru adventure. I am American and my husband is Peruvian and we live in Florida. His family is still in Lima so a lot of back and forth. We are actually flying to Lima 7/27/22 to spend their independence day 7/28 in Peru. Then we fly back down on 10/20-10/30/22. We are taking my middle grandson who loves Peru as much as I do. I have been to Peru several times (a bunch) and am captivated each time. Sensory overload is my favorite description of Peru. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures and I look forward to watching many more. You two are knowledgeable and informative. Plus!! You are adorable together....Your new friends Rick and David
Gracias chicos por mostrar parte del Amazonas de Perú, son bien osados, no le temen a las tarántulas y se animan a comer suri, deseo que hayan disfrutado de la experiencia vivida
Éxitos en sus viajes, se lo merecen son una pareja que irradia Amor y Paz.
Gracias por sus amables palabras. No los damos por sentado. ¡Me alegra que hayas disfrutado del video! Hasta la próxima :)
Peru in 2024 for us. What a beautiful series of Peru vlog. We will be on a tour so will miss some of the beautiful places you traveled. When Claire cooked the tomato beef dish in the cooking class, I noticed that it is the dish I cooked often at home. Later you provided the background infos about Chinese influence, I was laughing out loud. Food culture brings out a lot of history and ways of life of a country. Good job.
Lovely and more than rich!
❤️We all are favored to see your magnificence.❤️
Thank you so much for your wonderful moments
Omg!! The Tarantula looks so friendly. I will be so freak out if it is crawling on my arms
Freddy in his flip flops fears no creatures; the creatures fear him! 💪😎🩴
Great video guys. As good as National Geographic 👍👍✌️✌️✌️
I am one of your newest fans. You are very good at showing everything and describing the food. I thoroughly enjoy watching.
Keep up the good work, thank you and best wishes on wherever the future takes you.
Great series!
I'm so impressed with your content and the quality of these videos! Keep up the awesome work and thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Glad you like them!
That market was so cool! Lots of cool handmade treasures! I love the idea of Christmas ornaments from around the world.
I have eaten grasshoppers once but I've never eaten larvae. I've been willing to try it though!
We are planning a 2023 Peru trip and have decided that we will try to stay at this resort! I love it, with the welcome drinks and the awesome staff!
Never tried grasshoppers! We'll have to add that to the list. We highly recommend the lodge! They did a great job!
Loved the night rain storm! I'm not adventurous when it comes to food. I could never have tried those Beatles. I feel you both had such a great time. See you next video 🦋
The way you two travel totally brings me back to old memories of doing the same. Thanks for another amazing video 😘
Amazing stuff here! Thank you so much for sharing... I learned so much. Enjoy yourselves.
Very impressed by you guys!!! I can't wait to see what else is in store for you two! You guys have a lot of supporters cheering you on! Keep Going!
Thanks for the support!!!
Wow, kudos to you two for being so open to trying local delicacies like this!! Also love that you included “joyful” by Dante Bowe ❤️❤️❤️
Such a good song!!
@@ChadandClaire Really is!! :)
Thanks for showing the mysterious world. The video arouses my curiosity.🙄👍
You both are brave , beautiful and so adventurous. thank you for being such a travel inspiration. Also remember for every one negative butt head ... you have a thousand people that adore you both :)
Omg..that looked so freaking fun..thank you both.
Great video! Sure I would try the grubs. But don’t want to hold a tarantula.
You are so brave I couldn’t even think about eating those grubs! Your channel is filled with the most exciting and different experience S. Thanks for being brave, adventurous and fun! Namaste 🙏🏽 Julie
Since I'm a Patreon I will not "guess" the country you are in because I already know!!!!
THIS was my favorite vlog of the three in the Amazon rain forest! My favorite part was the lightening storm shots and the sound of the rain. I also LOVED seeing you with the children and showing them the drone!!! So sweet! What an absolutely amazing trip that I know you will treasure the memories of always!!! I feel like I should say "congratulations" to you both for this trip! Sixteen hours of travel and all the nerves that went along with that deserves MORE than congratulations!!! Job well done! Can't wait to SEE what's next!!! Safe travels!
Thanks Holley! This series was definitely a lot of work, but it was such a life changing experience. Thanks as always :)
Soy de Iquitos h jamas pude comer a esos gusanitos que me inspiran ternura
Thank you for the video !!!
You two never disappoint us viewers. I was so glued into every moment of this video. Thank you for sharing your adventures. ❣❣
Hi guys I've just finished your series of videos from Perú, I'm glad you enjoyed here and share your experience to the world. If you ever come back I have a few places to recommend mainly in the North side of Perú: Huaraz, Trujillo, Chiclayo, Cajamarca and Tarapoto in the jungle. Hugs (:
Would love to try the grubs! I'm planning a trip end of Oct. thank you for the insight & have fun guys!
Great job as usual! I'll guess Chile!
No grubs for me! LOL I admire you guys so much and your adventurous spirits!! I found your channel looking up Cusco travel videos as I’m traveling to Peru in two months and now I’m hooked on your vids! You are my favorite channel right now and I am super curious where you two are now... Argentina? I especially enjoyed this episode because I’m going to Peru to experience their plant medicines (San Pedro). Anyway your videos make me happy so thank you very much Chad and Claire xo
Hey Emma! Wow we are so glad you have enjoyed our Peru videos. Goodluck on your future travels to Peru!
We love watching you guys. ❤ Your videos are amazing and we love how much you immerse yourselves in the culture. I don't think I could eat the grub but my husband has, as a teen in what was formerly Zaire. Hold the trantula...maybe.. The drink (not sure how to spell that), yes we would. Our guess for your next country is Argentina. We see penguins in your future. 🐧
We want to see penguins in our future! Glad you enjoy the videos! Thanks for watching :)
No on the grubs! lol
Be safe kids!
Woow wooow…… love you guys. Stay safe ! Say hi to Anaconda 😀😋
We definitely said bye to anaconda. haha
Amazing video😭🙏🏽
I’m very confident saying that you’re in Ecuador 😌, good luck with your travel.
En tus sueños Joaquín, selva peruana totalmente
We plan on going there soon, but not yet! :)
I don't think I would try the grub, looking at it gives me the willies!
I will try the grubs but will have to cut off the crunchy head first. Stay safe you two.
What an amazing time for you two! I would love to do everything except for the grub tasting. I just wouldn’t be able to bring myself to bite into a fat “juicy” grub 🤢
I can’t even guess where you guys are at now but I’m definitely looking forward to some more adventures. Safe travels, you two. 😊
I knew You'd love the Amazon. I enjoyed ur videos guys Hahah except the tarántula part. I hope you will be back in my country soon. You have to visit Mancora, Huaraz and La Libertad. Greetings from Cuzco.
Psdt: I think you are still in south América, maybe in Chile or Argentina.
We definitely have to go back to peru someday. There is SO much more to see.
You both are super fun to watch. I love the history you bring to the videos. Btw, I think you're in Colombia 😊
That's a hard no on the grubs. I wonder how you did digestive wise - any problems? I always was amazed when they ate the local delicacies on Survivor.
Hi guys! Amazing trip in Peru you had! I hope you can help me! We are planning ourhoneymoon in Peru next year and we only habe 15 days! So we have to pick and discard destination.
We have some doubts:
Desert or Jungle?
Titicaca or Colca? I know you didnt so Colca, buy anyway…
Our current plan is:
Lima, arequipa, Colca, cuzco, sacred valley, machu pichu, cuZco and jungle (iquitos or puerto maldonado)
Any advice will be welcome!
I might be willing to try the grubs but yeah I would rather eat a fish or monkey I think lol I would have done the Ayawaska ceremony...I have done some shamanic work.
We definitely would like to try the ceremony one day! No idea you have done shamanic work! Very cool.
Lol I would guess the country but I think I already saw on Instagram.
Your videos make me very happy
Thanks for playing fair :)
Just for reference, if the grubs are a 7 or 8, what's a Costco hot dog? :)
Guess it'd have to be a 9 or 10 hahaha. Going to costco while being in the van was always a 10/10 experience. Bathrooms, air conditioning, and not pulling out the ole camp stove.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Why wouldn’t you guys do Ayahuasca. That’s a life changing experience
I would☺️
Chile?
Hiiiii Guys your both very brave 😳🤢Nope 👎🏽Stay safe😷😷💗❤️🙏🏽
The next country is Bolivia?
woooou!! great video! In my case my experience was different, for video and instagram purposes that lodge called tree house is very nice and even something luxurious, the problem is at night, since the rooms do not have windows, the only thing that will save you from a tarantula or snake while you sleep It is a mosquito net or mesh which makes you think about it during the night so you don't get to sleep for fear that some animal will get into your room... I use the internet in the jungle in a cabin-type hostel At that time, I was able to get a promo with yakumama tours, according to what I read in other comments, it is the most reliable for hospitalizations and well, it went well, good attention and the good thing is that their rooms are well closed, now you can sleep peacefully, what if An important detail is that due to the geography, the telephone and internet signal does not reach, so if you do teleworking it is not a good option. A detail for travelers is not to book the tours with a swimming pool, it is super dangerous because they usually do not maintain it and there is the problem of the mosquitoes and that amoeba and then if something happens to you they do not give you a guarantee, take it into account travelers to take their own bottled water to avoid upset stomach in the amazon.
Guatemala? Nicaragua?
Zimbabwe
Wow really going for it with that one! Definitely someday!
Yes I’d try one but not the head
My guess is you guys are in Bolivia or Chile
How bad are the mosquitoes
The mosquitoes were not too bad. Apparently there are 4x as many during the wet season.
Is it very hot there ?
It was HOT, but we think it was honestly the humidity that was making us sweat so much.
