Thank you to Fabio and his Amazing team for this incredible work to save the Coral 🪸 and to you Mathilda and Nick for this will be an unforgetable project that will stay with you forever ❤❤ well done 👏👏🙌
yes I think that opened our eyes to be extra careful. I don't think I have ever broken coral snorkelling but seeing how easy it is to break and how long it takes to grow I will certainly make it a priority to be extra extra attentive.
Hola NIck y Mathilda. El video quedó espectacular. Gracias por compartir con @sattravelers está experiencia tan importante para los ecosistemas acuáticos. Un abrazo y espero que todo les este saliendo genial en Ecuador. Un abrazo y muchos recuerdos de ustedes en Isla Fuerte.
Bit worrying seeing people wielding hammers underwater, given Nick’s subaquatic track record for wrecking his leg. But brilliant project. So glad you took the opportunity to join in so we could see how it worked. Great job, Nick and Mathilde!
I laughed when I saw you comment about your coordination. I can relate to that when it comes to dance. It's sad to see what has happened to coral throughout the world. Good project to restore the coral reefs.
I had heard that Colombia was like having several countries in one because of its Climate, Geography and Culture, now with your videos I confirm them. greetings from Italy 👌🏻👏🏻
Nick and Mathilde, you could drive less and dance more😂 Hope the corals you put get beautiful! Despite of the increasing temperature. Sublime work and great of you for bringing this to the world.
Planting the corals did look challenging, but what an experience! Someone will see this video and be inspired to do something good for our planet. One of the utube channels I follow, they pick up trash when they camp. I used to walk by trash, but now I pick it up too.
Yes that s a good one with nick we do that also when we set up camp. it is so easy to do / makes our life better / makes other s life better. way to go!!!
Wow what a awesome way to give back to nature by helping reforestation of a coral reef . There should be more of these kind of things in giving back to nature .what great and wonderful adventure video again you two . Thanks for sharing your wonderful journey and adventures with us all your over landing friends . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :):) 🌎🍻👍🏼😁
You are going to love Ecuador, my favorite country in South America. The volcanoes are incredible, particularly the big 3 (Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, Cayambe). They can be climbed, but with special equipment. The Galapagos islands are definitely worth a visit if you can leave Albo in Guayaquil for a week. And the food is delicious. Don't miss the ceviche de camarones.
Best content creators ever - 5 stars +star! We are so into environmental concerns here in the Netherlands - and you guys are toppie! (top notch). Thanks again for a wonderful vlog, Nick & Tilde.
What a great experience! the ending shots of the church were amazing and great moves to get the drone under the bridge, and look at those dance moves too :) .. .happy to continue following your adventures.
Not your usual episode, but definitely not less fun to watch! 🤩 Damn, what an experience. Looked super interesting & beautiful, despite the hard work 💪 Thanks for sharing it with us, safe travels!
@@NextMeridianExpedition Not cheap as well. Air tickets from Greece to Colombia are definately not cheap. Take care over there, have a marvelous time. We are anxious for the next show.
Wow! What an amazing experience! Hopefully, those little corals form a new, healthy reef. Incredible drone work at the end-flying through that arch must have been tricky. Thanks again, Mathilde and Nick. Safe travels in Ecuador.
Hi mark! Thanks it is very nice to read as it is so different from the usual content. A number of organizations have projects of this kind. Often they might ask for minimum scuba diving experience. In Colombia those guys of Sustainable Adventure travelers are very flexible. Mostly it is biologists recruiting students and passionate.

Ending your Colombian Adventure with the beautiful Church built into the Mountainside, was the perfect ending. See you both again soon and take care! 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻✌🏻
Super underwater filming guys! I love that there are aquatic scenes in many of your videos as well as jungles and mountains too - it really gives us viewers the whole perspective! And what beautiful waters to dive in too. Great work on the coral planting. 👍💪🙂
What a beautiful Caribbean beach and Island, I really love that Caribbean feel🌴🌴🌞. You both constantly outdo yourselves. I snorkeled a lot in the Caribbean Waters in the 1990s and early 2000s. Love that you went there to help revive Coral, very special. If I was young I would do it for free. Just being in those beautiful turquoise Waters is a gift in itself. This is such an amazing adventure looking forward to where you take us next. 👍🏻👍🏻♥️🙏🏻✌🏻
Thank you so much Jeff! That must have been awesome in the 90ies, it seems like coral populations really decreased since then so that might have been a great time! We were really lucky to get that opportunity ! It was fascinating work
I almost missed this episode. I saw the thumbnail for days, but for some reason didn't think it was you. Glad I watched. However the water temperature is so high corals are dying very fast. They are turning white off Florida. There is an ecological catastrophe worldwide. I hope people like those in the video have an impact.
@@NextMeridianExpedition The oceans are very hot this year. They say off Florida it is 100 degrees. I never heard of such a thing. I thought 90 was hot. 4/5 of the planet's heat is stored in the oceans, so the oceans feel global warming first. Scientists also are saying that the Atlantic current may flip soon. If that happens things will happen on a huge scale and you could see global warming on steroids. I'm 74, so I can probably survive my remaining years, but for everyone younger, it will be bad. And, once the oncean current flips, that is not something you can fix. The whole planet would need to cool significantly, glaciers start expanding, etc. Not gonna happen.
Wow I would have never guessed that was,a church in that precarious location. Now I want to find out about its history. Did you say the name of it? I'm so glad you took the experience of planting corals. Such important work. Corals are telling the true story of our plant. I hope they will be able to adapt and survive.
Hi Kristen! Thanks a lot. It is the sanctuary of las Lajas. It is fascinating deep in that canyon! And just before the border with Ecuador ! More info : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Lajas_Shrine :)
Hi Jorge, we decided to only do a video per week even if it means not going into details on every place we visit. Similarly we are not historians or biologists so the only thing we can talk about with accuracy is our experience crossing those places. We already happy it makes people curious on some of the country and places we cross. That way we prioritize the journey over making the video cause that is still what is the most important for us. Thanks for watching :)
Wow, that was so educational. I'm glad they're people like you doing something to make our waters better. We have seen many churches in different parts of the world, but this one topped it. Keep enjoying your world💓💓.
Interesting right? Even for us was fascinating to learn more on this topic! Hahaha yes this church is really unexpected …. Deep town in that canyon at the border with Ecuador who would have thought!?
Very Interesting experience. Did they say how successful the coral replanting has been, what percentage has survived? And that church, how beautiful and surprising!
On that kind of coral it is not too bad. Maybe 50% they mentionned. But what we discussed is that it is both made to grow new corals and to sensitize people not to break more corals. For instance the group uses new boat and boat captain everytime and make sure they don’t anchor on the corals for instance.
Dinner and a movie...I love Columbia! I hope to go one day. What exciting adventures you have! I love the idea of helping grow a voral forest. The last time I saw a coral forest it was mostly dead...sad. Did uou go inside the castle church? It looked beautiful! ❤❤❤
Lol cracking up at the “coordination 0” comment. I feel like you.. it’s like I’m a fish out of water on the dance floor. But oh well, you probably had a great time :)
Love what you guys are are doing but please don’t preach that rescuing coral will save the planet narrative, while driving an old Diesel 4x4 around the world. If you want to save the world stay home, grow your own food live off the grid and don’t have any children. Love your videos though xx
Totally agreeing with what you say. That s why we did not over mention that aspect related to our trip. But we don’t want to minimize the work of the biologists in that area. They are really outdoing themselves to involve everyone and help restore the reef in this region. So it was nice to see how it works and help at our level on this. Thanks a lot for watching!
Interesting, but I don't think they were trying to save the world - just help restore a small section of coral. I personally have no desire to stay at home, grow my own food and live off grid - I'm sure in the UK that would be expensive in any case. I think we should all try to do our best to reduce our negative impacts on the environments when and when we can practically and affordably do.
Thank you to Fabio and his Amazing team for this incredible work to save the Coral 🪸 and to you Mathilda and Nick for this will be an unforgetable project that will stay with you forever ❤❤ well done 👏👏🙌
They are th e dream team for sure 🫶
Excellent to be able to take part in that eco tourism. We all love snorkeling among coral, but we need to protect it for the future generations.
yes I think that opened our eyes to be extra careful. I don't think I have ever broken coral snorkelling but seeing how easy it is to break and how long it takes to grow I will certainly make it a priority to be extra extra attentive.
