When I watch Bald traveling, makes me feel I'm missing out on traveling to different locations. When I watch BPB on the same journey I realise my sofa is best location on Earth.
I know it was a tough journey and I thank you for sharing it with us but believe me when I say that 30 years from now you and Bald will look back on this as some of your best days. The pain will be long gone by then and only the good memories will remain.
@@BackpackerBen I spent a full week in a hammock once and it was awesome. I couldn’t get out due to the weed being so strong… like the stuff Bob Marley smoked. Spent plenty of time in Amsterdam and nothing there has come close. Don’t smoke anymore thank god. Spent literally the whole week in a hammock smoking weed next to the beech and hotel, listening to music. Proper rest!
@@BackpackerBen Not saying you dont work or make sacrifices for your videos, but lets be honest Ben, chilling with Bald while you are cruising down the river? Life is pretty damn good!
@@jimanonymous113 Ah, no I didnt. Bald has been known to overlook signs before though LMAO.....that is why he is in Peru instead of Russia though. Anyway, I get it now. I would think he would have snuck some booze in using a water bottle or something.
@11:15 He had asked you, "How do you say good day in English?" and @15:00 the young man, who gave you the water melon said "God bless you!" and @15:15 the man asked "where from, brother ?" and @16:25 he asked "where are you travelling to?"
Just when I was thinking this is like time travelling, Ben says he feels like he's been brought 300 years back in time. To me it's like visiting the wild west. Really something else, this trip!
Incredible video! You two are pretty tough for managing to cope so well on such a long journey! Really enjoying this adventure series so far, thank you for sharing! 🥰
Wow. Very cool. The village you were in was Alto Monte de Israel. It is run by a religious cult/community that rejects the Peruvian Government and wants to establish a biblical theocracy, this I why you could see men dressed like Jesus walking around. Very interesting and exotic place indeed.
He is part of the Evangelical Association of the Israelite Mission of the New Universal Covenant aka a religious nutter but, religious nutters can be very friendly people!
What a trip! Most of us wouldn't be caught dead on a three day journey in that thing, but you lads have managed! Btw the guy who was filing you in the body bench asked "como se dice 'Buenos dias' en ingles" he was asking "how do you say 'Good Day' in English" They'll make a Spaniard out of you yet 😜
I love tripe. It is popular in parts of Italy and so I grew up with it in my immigrant Italian family. Whenever I see it used in other national dishes anywhere in the world, I always get it and the dish is always amazing! Look past what it is, and just eat it. It holds onto the sauces really well so each bite is a flavor bomb.
You got some balls Ben! Last month I slept in a hammock for the first time in Colombian desert and it was brutal. Zero sleep, tired, noisy, etc. Hands down to you for handling this for three days... on a boat.
Thank you for sharing such fantastic adventures with us people who wouldn't even dream of embarking on such an off the beaten path adventure. I won't complain about the small legroom on a budget airline anymore.
Yes Ben and Mr Bald... massive respect for you going on these adventures.. after you were served that weird rice and banana meal, I said to my missus if she fancied this trip. Let's just say it was a hard No.... thank goodness hehe
@@Tyblubearboy I don't see nothing wrong with that meal, the rice is just... rice, and the banana are actually "platanos" and they are quite tasty cooked right.
Respect Ben, man you guys are hardcore, as soon as lights out I bet you hear the bullfrogs a calling as well as all the snoring!!! tnx for sharing Bro, surely can't be easy editing in a hammock!!! Power On Bruv : @ )
Can't get more remote than this. The ship feels like a floating prison. You can't get out from your comfort zone much more than this. Thank you, Ben! Be safe!
I can't imagine the smells and the noise, the food and just one toilet for everyone? I have to hand it to you Ben, you and Mr. Bald are quite the adventurers.
The amazon people will be the only ones able to sustain and survive during the apocalypse. The rest of us will be in hand out lines and eventually starve. Facts
Ben, your video brings true life to us all. Truly enjoy the content, the Ooohoo moments, and the culture. Keeping the story telling going. Really like being on your adventures…
Backpacking Banana done this last month, Solo woman traveller from the UK I'm sure. I was gutted the other day when yous took the speedboat but this is gonna be epic with yous 2 on this thing 🤣🤣🤣
Well, it's Sat evening and I'm baking anexpensive for me cut of pork in the oven. Smells good but takes its time to cook. While watering, I'm watching your videos. Thanks for making these. Thanks for not being like good old bald and what he does. Good videos, just meandering through a country and backwater places, really great content/ Thanks my friend. I won't say mate as we don't use that term in the U.S. But, thanks my friend for being bold and posting these videos.
Cool way to travel. I could never live far away from a modern toilet thou so im glad i just get to watch all these journys from the comfort of my home 😂
Thanks Ben and Bald for doing the hard yards. Was thinking just survivable until the Tripe 🤢. Good move getting biscuits. You had bollocks walking over the planks . Great viewing cheers
When watching your videos, I accidentally hit ‘like’ and never knew when! Really a beautiful and magnificent work. I also sent you a sea of love and appreciation and my permanent connection. Also my full package of support. Thanks for your honesty!
Credit where credits due - Backpacker Bens little videos aren’t actually too bad! I thought he was there just as Bald’s camera man and bag carrier, but he’s putting out some alright content!😀
Tripe is pretty common in Peru, I myself eat it a lot and there is nothing to be afraid of. Probably that dish was Cau Cau that is a national dish. However I do understand why some tourist won't eat such dishes like anticucho which is cowheart or choncholí which is cow's intestine
If you have time, it's worth to spend some time learning spanish. even 1-2 weeks of learning, helps you to interact better and understand what people say/ask in spanish. this can really help to understand, what you experience in a country - and that's worth a lot
hope you respect the effort me and Mr Bald went through in filming this adventure guys, it was a tough one. 😅
We got you 😎
Always.
Couldn't wait for this upload. Watching every minute. Hola de nyc
🎉🎉
Looks like hell. I wonder how comfortable taking a shit is on these trips. 💩☠
When I watch Bald traveling, makes me feel I'm missing out on traveling to different locations.
When I watch BPB on the same journey I realise my sofa is best location on Earth.
😆😆😆👌🏼👌🏼
@@BackpackerBen Keep it up you're Legends!
Will do cheers bro

Well said mate. But yeah 30 years I need to get over it 😆
@@100millioneuros wow well that is 100 million euros worth of advice. Jesus christ 😂
@@BackpackerBen Bald will be 80! He won’t remember a thing😂😂😂
@@BackpackerBen I spent a full week in a hammock once and it was awesome. I couldn’t get out due to the weed being so strong… like the stuff Bob Marley smoked. Spent plenty of time in Amsterdam and nothing there has come close.
Don’t smoke anymore thank god. Spent literally the whole week in a hammock smoking weed next to the beech and hotel, listening to music. Proper rest!
@@Dude0000 that’s hilarious, sounds like you had a proper recharge.
You can sense the dread that's going through him as he's showing the toilet. No words were spoken about it, for no words were needed.
I love how Ben always shows the bathroom situation, that would be my #1 concern as well😅
It’s literally like stepping back in time. You and Bald are like Victorian adventurers.
Its definitely different and what a refreshing break from all the politics and such like back in the western world.
3 days on this ☠️ 😂 guys let’s just appreciate the effort Ben and Bald go through in making these videos.
Agreed 🤣🤣
was a brutal one! thank you for noticing our efforts
@@BackpackerBen Not saying you dont work or make sacrifices for your videos, but lets be honest Ben, chilling with Bald while you are cruising down the river? Life is pretty damn good!
@@tommywolfe2706 did u see the sign ? No drinking and partying on board. Bald couldn't loosen up.
@@jimanonymous113 Ah, no I didnt. Bald has been known to overlook signs before though LMAO.....that is why he is in Peru instead of Russia though. Anyway, I get it now. I would think he would have snuck some booze in using a water bottle or something.
I did this a couple months ago and my fave part was the subtle bumps into your hammock mates when it got a bit wavy at night 😂 what a journey lol
Could of sworn you said you had 3 meals a day when you went?
@@explore_with_colin we did! Maybe they changed it 🤷🏻♀️
@11:15 He had asked you, "How do you say good day in English?" and
@15:00 the young man, who gave you the water melon said "God bless you!" and

It's not as pretty as a first world country but I wouldn't say this was 300 years ago. 300 years ago was way more primitive in comparison
The locals are all like "loco gringos".
PS The Amazon River still has like 2000 miles to go to the Atlantic and it's already huge.
Loved the watermelon Jesus 😂
this is one of the best videos of you Ben. loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Ben. Thanks for filming.
The local people seems to be very nice people.
Incredible video! You two are pretty tough for managing to cope so well on such a long journey! Really enjoying this adventure series so far, thank you for sharing! 🥰
Can’t explain how much I enjoy your travels to places I will never see and you and Mr Bald together are pure entertainment. Thank you both. ❤️✌🏼
Glad you like them!😅
Wow. Very cool. The village you were in was Alto Monte de Israel. It is run by a religious cult/community that rejects the Peruvian Government and wants to establish a biblical theocracy, this I why you could see men dressed like Jesus walking around. Very interesting and exotic place indeed.
Thanks for pointing this out
Evangelical Association of the Israelite Mission of the New Universal Covenant
holy moly!
They're nuts...so sure they're israeli.
You guys travel in style! Enjoy the adventure, thanks for taking me along!
Have been binge watching your videos Ben. This is another great one as usual!
Awesome, thank you!
Ben loves the cash. At least Bald hides it better lol
@@Michael-ex6dg god forbid you make money on RUclips 🙄
My wife says she wanted to go on a cruise, I think this would be a great trip, not so much the wife haha
Haha, this trip is for men only! Wouldn't be able to survive this gruesome journey along with the wife constantly nagging and complaining. (JK) ;)
I feel so sorry for that poor little monkey. 😥
He’d just get eaten by a jaguar in the wild anyway
The watermelon man was playing the drum at the end. Watermelon man is a man of the people. Bless watermelon man.
He is part of the Evangelical Association of the Israelite Mission of the New Universal Covenant
aka a religious nutter
but, religious nutters can be very friendly people!
That’s the only thing I would have eaten on that entire journey
Brilliant work Ben . You just get better and better . I saw your live on IG . I hope Columbia was worth going through that but I shall have to see
The boat life looks like a survival series
it looks like a Far Cry game to me
What a trip! Most of us wouldn't be caught dead on a three day journey in that thing, but you lads have managed!
Btw the guy who was filing you in the body bench asked "como se dice 'Buenos dias' en ingles" he was asking "how do you say 'Good Day' in English"

What was the old woman screaming about at the beginning?
Thanks Ben definitely appreciate your efforts to bring this Epic journey to us ❤
Absolutely amazing 🤩 Mr bald looks super pleased

Fantastic adventure Ben, thanks for putting up with the grueling travels whilst we sit in our easy chairs marveling at what you two experience, bravo!
My pleasure! I guess 😆

🌴🌴🌴 Hi 👋🏼 Ben
I hope that I never catch up on your older videos because I absolutely love all of them. Blessings from Paso Robles California, Carlos
Yes Ben and Mr Bald... massive respect for you going on these adventures.. after you were served that weird rice and banana meal, I said to my missus if she fancied this trip. Let's just say it was a hard No.... thank goodness hehe
Don’t blame her 😂
@@BackpackerBen haha, if she did fancy it she’d be going on her own that’s for sure 😅
Nothing wrong with the meal. It's just 3rd world common/ staple food. But 1st worlders are used to different taste and standards so can't you!
@@Tyblubearboy I don't see nothing wrong with that meal, the rice is just... rice, and the banana are actually "platanos" and they are quite tasty cooked right.
The Double B's love the alternate stories from both sides perfek combo
Hair net for man delivering food!! Amazing🍲🍲
Respect Ben, man you guys are hardcore, as soon as lights out I bet you hear the bullfrogs a calling as well as all the snoring!!! tnx for sharing Bro, surely can't be easy editing in a hammock!!! Power On Bruv : @ )
noise cancelling headphones or earpods are a thing. I would certainly bring those with me
@@Blackadder75 for sure good call
Can't get more remote than this. The ship feels like a floating prison. You can't get out from your comfort zone much more than this. Thank you, Ben! Be safe!
Enjoy your adventure with Bald. Be safe 😊😊😊
Backpacker ‘Uhhh-Huhhh’ Ben! Another banger of a video
“Hola cómo estás! Got any biscuits?” - I need that on a t-shirt 😂
You guys are nuts ! Is there no other way ? But thanks for " realising" my home comforts , 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙃🙃🙃
I can't imagine the smells and the noise, the food and just one toilet for everyone? I have to hand it to you Ben, you and Mr. Bald are quite the adventurers.
that loo is going to be BUSY!
The amazon people will be the only ones able to sustain and survive during the apocalypse. The rest of us will be in hand out lines and eventually starve. Facts
amazing adventure ben, you're a star. love the banter with bald. safe journeys!
You guys are like time travellers haha, love the content!
Thanks for all of those impressions! I guess the hardest part for me would have been that horrible diet...
Thanks for all you do! Great video as always
Ben, your video brings true life to us all. Truly enjoy the content, the Ooohoo moments, and the culture. Keeping the story telling going. Really like being on your adventures…
Appreciate it my man
Thank you Benjamin for the wonderful video. I always have this feeling that I also travel anywhere in the world. Cheers to more adventures.
You made me to love the adventure of the Amazon. t’s really save, and I love it. Thanks guys.
Great content mate!
Heck of an adventure!!
After watching the tortuous narrow boat trip i was wishing y'all would take the bigger boat. Thx for doing so.
Hi Ben!
Biscuits = Galletas (pronounced Ga-jet-us). Might be useful to know for your culinary escapades in Colombia and Venezuela!
😉
Ben for the win, with amazing content. Appreciate all the effort you put in taking us through your travel adventures!
I went by fast boat in 2007 and it was really comfortable. Much better than a plane. It took 12 hours.
I had tripe for the first time in Spain last year. I sent back the majority of it to the dishwasher.
Hectic journey Ben
Looks like fun
Should have brought the ayuasca
Loved this video it was pretty awesome.
No idea where you 2 are today but really hoping you go to Venezuela 👍🏻
Fascinating trip and videos. Well done for going there and seeing it all for us.
At least you got somewhere to sleep on this one, unlike the last one with the seats😁
Backpacking Banana done this last month, Solo woman traveller from the UK I'm sure. I was gutted the other day when yous took the speedboat but this is gonna be epic with yous 2 on this thing 🤣🤣🤣
🙋🏻♀️
@@BackpackingBananas No way!! Amazing. Love your channel, only got recommended it last week and have been binging it 🤣🤣 safe travels!!
Loving it Ben love the commentary brilliant, wouldn’tlike to use that toilet though
What a journey Ben. Looking forward to your next video
Look like they like playing the dam music all the time. The food look ok and looks like you were having a little fun on this boat trip.
Man, the tripe is the good stuff… looked great to me.
Somehow your mindset motivates me mate

Bienvenido a Colombia querido Ben . Cuida a Bald que no se meta en problemas .jajajaajajaj🤪🤙🇨🇴🇵🇪🇻🇪
Cool way to travel.
I could never live far away from a modern toilet thou so im glad i just get to watch all these journys from the comfort of my home 😂
Another W vid, love the vlogs with Bald
More to come! cheers mate
I really enjoyed watching this
Interesting video! Thanks!
Mr Ben & Mr Bald you both are Amazing, really like your videos. Stay safe and enjoy your journey.... 🇸🇬
That boat! Throw a paddle wheel on the stern and it’s like something on the Mississippi in the mid-1800s! Very cool, mate. Muchas gracias!
Ben you have my respect
Cheers my man
It is great to see you and Bald collaborating on a video.This is certainly a tough journey. You will need a holiday after this trip!!
Yeah I wonder if he even enjoys traveling now that it’s his job.
Do you not travel with earplugs? I take a few pairs whenever I travel - a godsend for crowded situations like this!
Ben, great video of your travels from Peru to Columbia. New subscriber from Palm Springs, California
Thanks Ben and Bald for doing the hard yards. Was thinking just survivable until the Tripe 🤢. Good move getting biscuits. You had bollocks walking over the planks . Great viewing cheers

I like seeing the difference in yours and balds vids on the same location, I've notification for yours but not balds ??
What an adventure mate! Gruelling and unnerving. No doubt at all.
Muy bien!
thank you. you are the man Ben. always appreciate your uploads and videos. i think watched your whole collections lol. (your humor is top notch)
I appreciate that my man 😎
man nothing but respect for yall. looks like a tough journey
Appreciate it mate yeah was a killler. Was stinking come the end 😂
You're in dire straits traveling on that thing!
I dont think you realise how alan partridge you really are. You and bald is perfect combo
I'm sure Ben has a big plate for the buffet on the ship and he wouldn't turn down a 'cup of beans' with a sausage to stir it as a savoury 99
The guy that gave you the watermelon was also on the boat playing the music
Hey Ben... doesn't it feel more adventurous when you're around epic Mr. Bald!!!!
Credit where credits due - Backpacker Bens little videos aren’t actually too bad! I thought he was there just as Bald’s camera man and bag carrier, but he’s putting out some alright content!😀

Oi Ben lol , 20:50 watermelon man playing the drums,give him some biscuits lol
Prob the best thumbnail u have ever produced. Great video buddy and what a way to travel to Colombia. Warning its a wild country enjoy I loved it 😂
Thanks a ton! Yeah mate it’s nuts here 😂
As a Peruvian, I would never do this. Kudos to u guys
Do what? Travel in your own country? What an arrogant and stupid thing to say
If you have time, it's worth to spend some time learning spanish. even 1-2 weeks of learning, helps you to interact better and understand what people say/ask in spanish. this can really help to understand, what you experience in a country - and that's worth a lot
Are you leaving ben to travel through Columbia and Venezuela alone or was her joking?
