nah
game looks like hot doodoo garbage but you get that bag maya!
With you traveling you should play Pokémon Go
you are gorgeous
ain't nobody playing this game 😭😭😭😭
I appreciate that you included footage of the indigenous people who live there. So many people only talk about the animals & act as if that's the only reason the rainforest should be saved. People matter too 🩷
^This! Especially in the context of conservation, indigenous people should be platformed as they have the most experience with the environment!
i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but for the most part, those 'indigenous people' are more horrible than good for the rainforest. They partake in over fishing. And the worst trash pollution you can even imagine. Yes. THere are good people trying to protect it. But those people are figure heads who live off of tourist money. All have solar panels and big ass flat screens. They just live in mud huts. That water is so damn polluted from them just throwing garbage in it. Using it as a toilet. It's sad and disgusting. I take it you haven't really explored any third world countries either. Like Maya.
THose people are also the same ones destroying the rainforest. Yes. It's illegal to harvest trees. In certain areas. But you travel up and down that river and you'll just see tug after tug of illegal harvesting. To them. They are just trees. and plentiful. This one is worth X amount, and that one Y. OH and the Z trees. They are worth 2 thousand a ton. It's just there way of life. They are the reason the rainforest is in such decline
i would almost argue that ppl dont even want to save the rainforest cuz of the people or the animals. its the fact if the rainforest dies, so does the entire planet we live on. without the rainforest, its just a massive extinction event
@@tjhall1000 I would argue instead that for such a large task requiring the involvement of far more than one person or one community with a specific focus, saving the rainforests can and should involve anyone who wants to help for whatever reason they value -- the animals, the people, the trees, whatever at all.
And as hanabiramochi said, local communities and populations can often have the biggest personal stake and understanding of how the rainforest works. If you want to save it, support the communities who call it their home and heritage.
I died when she didn't notice the mini-split ac on the wall. Poor girl was so tired she just accepted her fate
She said she did notice it, but due to not being able to find any wall mounted control, indeed, accepted it 😅
I can't blame her. I likely wouldn't have given that remote a second look as I'd have deemed it for the TV, and since I wouldn't have wanted to turn the TV on... yep, wouldn't have looked at it closer!
The footage of those free wild macaws is a great reminder that they deserve to live in their natural environment surrounded by their own species instead of our homes. 💛
My favourite bit is when voice-over maya says something just for footage maya to say the exact same thing. Cracked me up every time
love maya's acceptance of the room being absolutely brutal
32:38 BUG ON PILLOW!!
@@greenad1993ok? They are literally everywhere here, and she is in the middle of a giant jungle, it’s actually amazing there is only one lol
@@iceran9822 ok 👍
@@iceran9822they’re just being silly don’t take it that serious
I'm from Brazil and it's an honor to have you here

Hello from Colorado!
AND she was doing her reaserch on bugs while listening to Cassia Eller.
SIM NE
32:36 Maya doesn't even have to leave her bed to find bugs! Lil guy on her pillow hehe. Such a great vlog, thanks for sharing! I stayed in the Amazon in Ecuador and I miss it so much. It's such an unforgettable experience, everyone should go if they can
calling a bed bug "lil guy" is crazy, I'd get a flamethrower if I saw one
@@clickbait6646 that's not a bed bug
@@clickbait6646 A bug being on a bed doesn't make it a "bed bug"...
Oh my god no way, I literally did my research trip in Manaus with Mario and (back then) his PhD student! (He had a habit of diving into the rio negro naked hahaha) What a wildly small world!!
As someone who struggles with travel anxiety and a sensitive stomach, I can relate and I sympathize. It can really ruin a trip fast. I just wanted to say that I think you are very strong and determined. You powered through your stomach issues and still enjoyed your experience. I really hope I can do the same on future trips. You are an inspiration!
Voiceover Maya is the best
I love when voiceover Maya says something and vlog Maya immediately agrees
its like we’re watching together! its my fav thing she does
Fun fact for anyone who is interested! The cool looking nests that Maya saw but couldn't remember the name of the birds that made them are likely Red-Rumped Cacique nests!
(If somone else knows better than me and knows I'm wrong, feel free to correct me)
Close. They were yellow rumped caciques
How do you pronounce it?!
ka-seek
Shame the game sponsor got the pin, as this should've been. _(at least should've hearted it)_
Thanks to you both 🤘
I know there is content like this on CZcams already and maybe it has a higher production value but the realness and perspective given from you, Maya, is, in my opinion, what makes your vlogs so special and stand out in comparison.
It's like a friend (I know, very parasocial) filming their experiences and showing you their trip on their phone. To me, that feels incredibly authentic and true. So thanks for the videos and all you do, Maya and Alveus Crew. Best of luck in the future!
it's the voice over the vlogs too, idk why but it makes them so cozy
helps that maya is a pretty normal person
11:50 maya thank you for being the 'freak who would crawl around and look for bugs by the pool' representation we need more of in this world lmfao
Great shot of that bird actually catching a big insect in the air at 29:03-29:04 - go frame by frame with (.) and (,) to see it properly.
❣️
Ain’t no way I’m gonna be able to see that in my phone screen 😂
I love how Maya is so respectful of the people around her in regards to filming.
Exactly. Almost every other creator would've been all _"MOAR CONTENT, FECK EVERYONE ELSE!"_
Random bug crawling at 32:39 was my fav part. 10/10 Immersion
Some places in the Amazon you can tell the time just by looking at the weather.
In these places it rains every day exactly at the same hour.
I spent a few months in Panama during the wet season and you could set your watch by the afternoon monsoon shower
Honestly, seeing Maya adventure through my home town is so surreal I was smiling the entire time. Hope you enjoyed your trip!! And yes air conditioning is a NECESSITY in this city.
Props to Flip for powering through
I worked as an intern for the Purple Martin Conservation Association!!!! In Erie Pennsylvania. They're such an interesting and beautiful species and the association does incredible work.
Hi Gabby 👋
@@PurpleMartinConservation HI! :)
The voiceover always adds so much to the vlog, cant wait for the rest of the brazil footage.
as a brazilian myself i'm so happy to hear how much you enjoyed your stay
Maya with the ant game is one of the few YTer mobile game sponsorships where I would totally believe she actually plays the game
the crying baby in 30s is unreal
Atomic bomb v crying baby on a plane who wins?
Led to a great segue tho💯
It’s cuz he has to go to Brazil
Yeah I can't believe a baby would cry what a pussy
That's well past baby. Sounds more like toddler. Even more unacceptable.
32:37 that bug really ties in the rainforest experience lol
Looks like you brought a lil ant friend back with you @32:40 running around your pillow. Great video!
In the odd chance you're reading this, Maya, The birds from 28:53 look like band-tailed nighthawks. I think we call them 'bacurau d'água' in Brazil. Nighthawks are such a treat to watch in person. I saw a flock once while I was walking my dog.
bingo
possibly the best sponsor transition of all time
I'm from Brazil and loving the series! I'm as much a tourist as you in the Amazon rainforest because i'm from the southeast region, the content is great
Come to Amazônia
Maya at 3am realizing she booked the wrong hotel was priceless XD
3:40 I just had a really good giggle when Maya said it was really hot there but literally last week Rio just broke its own record of temperature, 60,1°C (140,18 °F). That day I literally thought I would die melting down lol
You were very lucky not to be here (because you aren't used to it and could pass out) when this mass of hot weather came, even tho you weren't in Rio. Apparently, all of Brazil got hotter that day, but Rio needed to be the hottest place ugh 🙄
EDIT: Maya, I just finished watching this video and I already want to see you return haha
Also, I know that the Amazon is the most biodiverse forest in the world it drags a lot of attention but we also have a lot of other biomes with tons of endemic species. I would LOVE to see you return to Brazil with a trip through Pantanal with the biologist and conservationist Richard Rasmussen, he is a bit crazy but in a good way. He has been there a million times for national geography so he would guide you very well. As a fan, I'll also make this request for him ❤
But please, think about returning! We have Amazon, Pantanal, Cerrado, Caatinga, Pampas, Atlantic rainforest, Matas araucárias, and Matas did cocais.
damn that's hot
I've had dry 60 and it's hell, I can't begin to imagine what humid 60 must feel like
and I guess the nights are almost as warm?
@@yjlom The nights here are basically 30-25°C 😅
Bro wtf I’d die
Just a casual 140 F. I’d love to visit Brazil after we’ve tackled climate change.
It wasn't 60c, it was 40c but with the humidity, the heat index was like 60c, so technically it should have felt about the same as a dry 60c. if the temp was ever actually 60c in brazil, i dont think we'd survive. @@yjlom
Shout out to flip for dealing with maya and stomach issues during the trip.
I don't know if Octonauts was a thing anywhere else in the world but its an animated kids show in the UK that teaches all about different animals (mostly underwater) but one of the main characters was from the Amazon so there were loads of episodes about animals there and I learnt so much from that when my brothers were little and now I'm watching it in real life here. It is amazing to see!!!
I think I would love the amount of rain shown in the video. Also that trip looks like a dream
There are malaria PILLS?! Every time I've been to a place that has malaria I've had vaccines. Pill's would've been so much easier lmao
Seeing those tarantulas in the wild after having kept both of those species you showed in the past, was really cool.
gaht damn, that is indeed the sweetest hotel/lodge i've ever seen and I also want to live there 🙏
Props to Flip for doing this with you
I also read the cool insect book maya was reading!! Bugs scare me a lot but I was inspired by maya's awesome education work and wanted to learn more about them and what's happening to them
Thank you so much for the video
thanks maya your content makes me happy
ugh I can't wait for the other footage. I love those mushrooms, so cute and in line
Incredible video Maya ❤😮
Hands down my favourite vlog of yours to date! Grew up watching Steve and Bindi Irwin shows on TV and seeing your journey grow from falconry, funding Alveus and now literally diving into the Amazon Rainforest has been INSANE!! Keep it up Maya 💙💙 Love from Honduras!
You should also look into Macaw Mountain - Bird Park and Nature Reserve here in Honduras, they're a bird rescue and rehabilitation center 👌👌
so excited to see the footage!! Dont hold back on it, all clips are good clips!!
OMG this is awesome please release all of the other videos I can’t wait to watch them!
Great vlog can't wait to see more 👍
Best video ever Maya! So happy you got the opportunity to go and do what you love ❤
much respect and much love !
i really liked this video! it's fun to watch the footage alongside your present-day narration.
That's a pretty great video. I love it! I can't wait for what's next!!
I always love your vlogs!! Thank you for bringing us along on another adventure ❤️ also those hotels were so beautiful I hope I can stay at them one day 😭
Maya, everything you do is so cool & extremely inspiring
It’s amazing that you get to do this as a job, keep conserving that wildlife!!
Thanks for sharing your experiences! Such a cozy watching experience.
INSANE video, some amazing quality in the shots!
I like the casual commentary throughout as you watch it
Wow, what an adventure! 🌟 Can't wait for more!
Such a very chill and cool video with nice places and the interesting, funny voice overs, you are just great! 👌😊
so excited for all the brazil videos! it looks beautiful and the animals are so cool, for sure going on my travel list.
I wish there was more then just 2 parts. Your excitement is just so much fun!
Maya is actually living my dream rn, this was such a cool vlog to watch!!! Wish I could see it in person!
Awesome vlog. I went to the same indigenous settlement you went to!! They're super cool
welcome to brazil maya!!
its so cool to see people that i admire in my country. This vlog is just awesome
yayayay i can't wait for the rest of the brazil videosss :)
Feels like christmas with the brazil vlogs coming this is so fun :'3
This is seriously so amazing. Very stoked that you got to go and experience these things while also being able to educate others simultaneously! Talk about an absolutely life changing moment
this is your best vlog.... im probably gonna say this for all of your vlogs coming up. this was super cool to watch. your passion for conservation has always been and will always be inspiring, keep it up maya!
Loving all the tropical vibe with them bugs!🪲🌿
i am so looking forward to the big videos after this brazil is so cool
omg! ive been researching the rainforest for my latest art project in ceramics (food chains!) this is so perfectly timed
Very good quality on the videos. Camera, music, voiceover, EVERYTHING!
I love your experiences in the amazon and how amazed you are. It makes me so happy as someone who grew up surrounded by it and often stayed in the forest.
Thank you Maya love you and your videos so so much, cant wait too see more from this amazing adventure.
Absolutely stunning atmosphere. ❤❤❤.
Hope you enjoyed it, and come back to Brazil 🫡🇧🇷
im so excited for the videos now!
I really appreciate your content and everything that you do for animals. Thank you!
That big boat you went on was beautiful!
I’m so excited for the "big" videos, and it’s so fun to learn about the amazon. Keep up the great work❤️
This is so cool!!! I'm from Brazil and I study Environmental Management, and hope to study Environmental Science one day, and I absolutely love watching nature content, but I would NEVER put myself in a situation like this, I would be terrified of everthing, but I'm happy to live vicariously throught people like you miss Maya Higa ♡
Such an amazing video :))
LOVE the content. would also love some book recommendations about bugs and conservation.
When I went to Costa Rica the only hot showers I took were the first and last day there not because I didn’t have hot water but because cold showers were so nice comparatively
Lovvvvvveeeeeee this can’t wait for more !!!!!
MY JAW DROPPED AT THE PINK RIVER DOLPHINS, HOLY COW! Also amazing that the Indigenous peoples allowed y'all to come and see their practices! Including Native peoples in conservation is super important!
you are easily becoming my favorite youtuber
24:34 it could be a juice made from one of three fruits that are consumed a lot in the north and northeast of brazil, those are Maracujá (Passion fruit), Murici fruit or Caju (Cashew fruit), although caju has a more clear (with less fruit particles or fibers in the juice) aspect to it, i would say its Murici, but hard to know, it depends on how it was preparated. Awesome video!
So cool! Can’t wait for the purple Martin video!!
I had a similar experience when my family visited Brazil and we even stayed at that same Anavilanhas resort! I was hoping throughout the video it would pop up, especially when you said you went to Manaus, and lo and behold it did lol. Thanks for sharing your trip!
Amazing video Maya - Im sure you want to go back to that rain forest hotel - Amazing trip!
im so happy maya finally got to collab w/ xerces! very exciting :)
28:03 is a perfect vibe. I really wanted to be there as well. So peaceful yet powerful.
Amazing trip!! 🎉
I'm so excited for the videos
Great vlog ❤❤
glad you enjoyed it!! the climate is kinda brutal and the food change can really mess you up, but im so happy you still got to go so many places and experience the forest
YES I WAS WAITING TO SEE THIS VID ❤
I'm excited for the Purple Martin video!
