COMEMOS TERMITAS en la SELVA de CORCOVADO | Costa Rica #20 🇨🇷

A new day dawns here in the jungle of the Corcovado National Park. Here we are in our little cabins. I have slept and little as always. I woke up at 4 or so and now we are going to have breakfast. This landscape is incredible. On top of that, we are alone and it is going to be over. of less, that is, it is a tranquility of peace that is breathed here, little animals pass by from time to time, there was an aguatusa here, a bird that I don't know exactly what it is, now I'll ask to see, so we say hello and we'll start today's excursion. It's going to be about four hours, it's going to be much milder than yesterday, calmer and we'll arrive again at the Agujitas beach in Bahía del Rey [Music] [ Music] [Music] we're going to try Termitas, very delicious as I would say Pumba slimy but tasty Well the truth is that they don't have a bad taste, it has a little flavor as if it were a little leafy, a little woody, the truth is that it is something that you want to try other dishes with this recipe and as a good main ingredient it is the food of the future not the food of the future we are not in the habit of eating insects but due to their small size their great strength they are mega food one gram of Termites is very easy to raise a nest it only takes up decomposing matter and can be equivalent to up to 7 grams of peanuts So if we see the relationship It is very very high, this is a good alternative for the issue of climate change of the use of agriculture and minimizing the consumption of larger animals a little so that we can make a small transition to insects like the Asians do. Today spider monkeys have appeared here on high or really red monkeys. It could be in Spanish, yes red in English, the translation would be spider monkeys and it was impressive because they were here a little uncomfortable with our presence and they weren't throwing things, they started shaking. the branches of the trees to throw us and things like that so that we move away But well the moment has been very cool a lot of dan what he is doing at this moment stretching ticks he is doing a sleeve cut take take move [Music] we have lost our guide but here we are shooting here alone It's okay [Laughs] how did you know that at this moment you can see my shirt there is a lot of humidity this being a secondary forest it is smaller so the amount of sun reaches stronger at ground level the importance of forests is that it helps us keep the environment cooler, so one of the reasons for global warming is the loss of forests because they are heat mitigation zones and it is noticeable that yesterday we were going on much more difficult technical hikes that cost more steeper and we were sweating less than today, which is being very quiet, so here the vegetation is much less dense. It is that yesterday the sun was not directly shining at this time and here the path is illuminated to continue breakfast, we are going to make an omelet with boletus We can see this red mushroom that is from tropical forests, it has a wide distribution, its scientific name is capacious coqueina, scientific name, although it has a red color, it is normally edible. In Spanish, we know it as red cup. Because of its very easy shape, only the part can be identified. From the other party's glass you don't eat it so you like to try it. The taste is very similar to a dried mushroom, very very similar. It's incredible [Applause] This river is called a clear river because of its crystalline waters, the name doesn't deceive [Music] [Music] so spectacular we just arrived at the bottom of the river crossing it for a while we arrived at this impressive brutal waterfall [Music] this place is spectacular I incredibly recommend that you come it is a place it is a dream or the walk these days are so spectacular that ending with this It is incredible. I also recommend that if you do it, you leave it towards the end of the trip because if not, you are going to set the bar very high. This is making it the best of the entire trip and it is one of the least touristy places in the country. People come but nothing that See with other places, for example, La Fortuna, the waterfall where we were, the party is filled with people, here we are six people, nothing to see, more or less, here, a blue clay bath, great for the skin, this is an exfoliant, here, look, our guide is 56 years old and let's go now. It is how it is preserved thanks to the clay. We left the waterfall, which has been a super cool surprise, and now we have a 45-minute walk uphill that, by the way, the waterfall has not mentioned but it does not have a name to avoid tourism comes and the maps are not there so well from today the waterfall is officially going to be called John's Atlas or better youtube.com/h John's Atlas So it will appear like this on the maps look for it [Music] [ Applause] [Music] [ Music] Why do you think this flower is called red Lips the seed is not This yes the white thing is like a membrane in English let's try the guagua it's delicious and over here We're done with the excursion of these two days here in the national park of córdobado Thank you very much to iber for making us a guide, an incredible guide. So highly recommended. If you come here, what do you get with a top, bring the corcovado now to validate it and nothing but two incredible days, super recommended and we are going to finish here having lunch. having lunch with a good meal they take care of us very well here we come to lunch guys we are going to finish with a casadito we finish well I don't know if you noticed that in Costa Rica we drink coffee at that average rate and that's after lunch [Music] [Applause] [Music] and after resting for a while at the hotel, taking a shower and having a good rest in general, we have come Now here to the beach in Agujitas del Rey, it is not the best but it is the closest So it is a two-minute walk from anyone of the hotels that are in agujitas So it is the place Well, more accessible it is not the ideal place especially if you want to snorkel or similar because there are quite a few boats here so there is a little diesel in the sea it is nothing serious but good for see little fish and such, obviously it is not the best place, there are other beaches to the south that may be a better option but the problem they have is that there is an area of ​​crocodiles and sharks. So we are still very excited to be in those places, it doesn't have to be dangerous but it is a little bit So it's better not to risk it and now what we're going to do is relax here for a while on the beach the sun isn't as strong anymore luckily we're still here in the shade protected [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and after being on the beach for a little while resting, luckily it cooled off a little because it was very hot but well, then as it got dark it felt Better we have returned to the hotel we have rested and we have gone to dinner somewhere there are not many restaurants nor is there much option We arrived at around 7 or so And it took a while, it is now 9 o'clock they calmly took an hour to serve us, that is, a service very slow, they have like a waiter and a person cooking and it has taken a long time but not only with us but there were others there were also not five or six months and in fact there have been people who have left because they had to get up early tomorrow and they are not not even preparing the food and they have left and But well in the end Well, I wasn't in much of a hurry, it was early so we said Well, well, we do n't have anywhere else to go and now, well, we have eaten and well, we have changed a little, not so much married anymore because we have been eating this the whole trip and we have had Álex a barbecue rib with pata Tas and such and I also had chicken breast with potatoes and patacón so that's what we're closing the blog for today tomorrow we have some Adventures left here in Corcovado before we leave so we have I have to wake up soon but I'll talk to you about that tomorrow Pura vida
