Lisbon, Portugal | Historical Tour Documentary | American Explorer: Abroad
First off, thanks for watching. Second, I apologize for my poor pronunciation. I tried to look up linguistics for some words but I’m sure my midwestern US accent came through on some.
Also this is not nearly an extensive history of portugal. It’s abridged heavily and my resources ranged from wikipedia to a tour guide and just anecdotes from people I met in Portugal. I welcome all corrections and discussions regarding the history of Lisbon and Portugal as a whole. Definitely not meant to be a source of truth for facts. This video is meant to pique interests and start conversations, not end them. Some sources cited below.
Special thanks to the Kirkland clan and the people of Portugal for being such awesome hosts.

High in the rocky mountains, nestle below Mount Meeker lays the Chapel on the Rock. A truly beautiful sight to see.

His lack of funds delayed construction for nearly 2...

You need to visit the cities of Porto, Aveiro and the sacred land of Fátima, and see the beauty of the country of Portugal, hugs.
Haha I'm from La Junta. Vogel Canyon is one of my favorite places in the world. Love our Tarantulas
Loved this video! Thank you
To Ana V. ...of Mosambique and Lisbon...who once visited North Carolina in America.....your friend Diana never forget you and wish you well.
Awesome video! Thanks so much for sharing the whole journey!
Great videos! It helps in many way. Thank you for doing them and sharing them!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing it!🎉
I appreciate you sharing your journey up the Incline! First time me seeing the full way up , I’m inspired to do it now! 😊
Great work
We think Portugal is beautiful, too….we are moving there from Vancouver in three days!
I have on the top of both of those rocks
It looks familiar..I think I did this hike once when I lived near there decades ago. Good to revisit. Thanks.
Did you insert different audio?
Excellent production and narration. Superb documentary. Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for showing us beautiful century. We loved the city and definitely will be on our list . Chaos
Loved it! Thank you.
Fantastic
Breckenridge 😝😝☺️☺️. Disney world. Was nice years ago. Now simply awful. Dude. Take a well needed lesson!
Great video my man, traveling to Lisbon this month and this is exactly what I was looking for
I'm an Indonesian and I just find certain fascination at American culture. I've never even went to America though I really hope someday I can visit Colorado. And I'm simply hear simply because of an impulsive personal research. This is a really well-informed video though, so thanks a LOT for that.
Thanks for sharing
dude you did such a good job. please travel around more outside of the US and do more of these videos. amazing!!! subbed
A quém publicó este Video-documental sobre a minha e Sempre Querida Lisboa, Somente tenho 2 palavras a dizer; " DIVINO e OBRIGADO " !
Well done, sir. Top Lisbon vid. Venha vinho!
The river’s name isn’t tiger , but “Tejo”, Rio Tejo.
É Tagus em inglês.
Lisboa is a beautiful city, with rich history. A side note - during the 1755 Earthquake much of the City which was Riverside was of course devastated - along with this, was the destruction of building which were holding a significant amount of the Portuguese Historical Maps etc. Which may well have been the greatest treasure that Portugal had garnered. The information contained was in the hands of the Portuguese Only. It was confirmation of the discoveries in the East, some of which is not credited to this very day. I’m glad you did highlight the Tower of Belem and the Monument to Infante Dom Henrique and the Discobradors, perhaps the Geronimo’s Monastery could have been shown. Thanks for your work on this Video. The Portuguese Wallaby Down Under Now on top.
Great video! I did Chihuahua yesterday and tagged your video on my FB post. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very nice explanation. I like those beautiful sequence and photography. Great video
What is the background music in the "earthquake" chapter? Thank you for the video, loved it!
Another great video about a great city.
According to the weather charts, Leadville has a delightful climate. Cute town but too semi arid looking for my taste.
Thank you!!!!! Was looking for a good trail to take with my dogs. This is definitely now on our list thank you again!!!!
Thank you for a very informative and well-made video, I'm baffled that you don't have more views and subscribers
Beautiful done ❤
Great work!!! Congratulations
I remember the first time I saw a picture of these steps that was taken from the summit or the false summit looking down, I thought it was something that had been photoshopped.
Really thorough - appreciate the historical background!
Just a note, the second is the only flatiron that I'd ever recommend non-climbers free solo. It's a class 4 scramble more than a climb and almost every CU student has managed it drunk at some point. Downclimbing is where people usually get hurt on it but, once you hit the top, look north and youll find a small drop that you can hop off right back onto the trail
Thank you. This is professional work. Love the way you synthesize information. Look forward to watching other videos that you create.
TQVM. from a Portuguese descendant in South East asia
The Portuguese pavement where I'm from is simply referred to as cobblestone and no matter what they're called I love them 😊
How such a delicate, richly informative cinematic history tour of Lisbon only receives 15k views is beyond me. But please continue with your brilliant work, cuz for me it's simply the best tour guide for Lisbon one can find currently on the internet. Top-notch narration with a hearty way of editing to match. Thank you and huge respect!
Damned, so well done. Obrigado.
Thank you
I live here and enjoyed watching my town in this light lmfao
Great video!!! Wich camera you use for this shots?
The landscape in colorado is best when all of those peaks have snow on them. Its so amazing
Very professionally made. One of the best introductions to Lisbon I have seen and I have seen a few. Thanks. well done
Trails in Roxborough include a meandering route to the the top of Carpenter Peak. A knob of rock 1000' above the parking area provides a wonderful view of the foothills, Front Range, Denver, the Great Plains, and the ruddy rock formations of Roxborough. If you're lucky, butterflies sometimes seem to be swept to the tip of the peak.
Are there scenic pull overs for this scenic drive?
