  1. 0:01Did you know that there is a lost city in the middle of the planet?
  2. 0:04Considered one of the
  3. 0:06most important archaeological treasures in all of Latin America
  4. 0:08with more than a thousand years old.
  5. 0:10When I saw this, I was so intrigued
  6. 0:12that I had to see it with my own eyes,
  7. 0:14so I began to investigate to go right away,
  8. 0:16even though I knew beforehand that this adventure was not going to be easy.
  9. 0:19Four days immersed in nature
  10. 0:21fighting against mosquitoes,
  11. 0:22heavy rains and strong heat.
  12. 0:25Right away I said to myself: You have to do it!
  13. 0:27for that reason I can't take all the equipment
  14. 0:29I usually have with me.
  15. 0:31This time I'm going to take on the challenge of preparing my perfect gear
  16. 0:34for this journey without sacrificing the quality of my shots.
  17. 0:38Among the chosen ones I will take the new ZHIYUN CRANE-M3S,
  18. 0:41which only weighs 705 grams,
  19. 0:43almost what this camera weighs.
  20. 0:46We get ready with our boots, extra changes of clothes and raincoats.
  21. 0:50Once prepared, we set off in search of a new adventure.
  22. 0:54Here we go!
  23. 1:04We arrived in Santa Marta, we met Eliseo
  24. 1:06who was going to be the guide on this odyssey.
  25. 1:09We had to provide ourselves for the days to come.
  26. 1:12Well, now we are about to start a two-hour trip
  27. 1:15through the entire part of the Tayrona Park
  28. 1:17until we reach Mamey,
  29. 1:18better known as "Pelado Machete"
  30. 1:20where we are going to start our adventure.
  31. 1:22Today we are going to arrive at the first camp
  32. 1:24where we are going to be sleeping.
  33. 1:25The journey is based on 60 km round trip divided into four days.
  34. 1:29On the third day with a favorable wind
  35. 1:31we would reach the great mountain
  36. 1:33where the Lost City is located,
  37. 1:34so the adventure begins there.
  38. 1:41Well, we are here in the town of Machete Pelado,
  39. 1:44or rather Mamey
  40. 1:45, and we are going to start the walk,
  41. 1:47what if I am noticing here, the beginning is the heat, or not?
  42. 1:50The heat that is doing here, the humidity.
  43. 1:52Well it's going to be a challenge
  44. 1:53but that's going to be one of the most interesting things.
  45. 1:55-Good? -Ah well, super
  46. 1:58I have to admit that the first kilometers are quite hard
  47. 2:01but we were promised that the views from above
  48. 2:03were not going to disappoint us.
  49. 2:06Well here we go, as 22% says
  50. 2:09we continue up eh, uf!
  51. 2:14We are with Mercedes who gave us a refreshing coconut,
  52. 2:17just what we needed.
  53. 2:35Whoa people! The truth is that I have to admit
  54. 2:37that this Gimbal is surprising me a lot,
  55. 2:39not only because of its size and weight,
  56. 2:41but also because it can be used with my cell phone,
  57. 2:44so I can use it to film the FX3
  58. 2:47with my camera at the moment,
  59. 2:48but also grab my cell phone, place it and it's ready to go.
  60. 2:52This Gimbal is specialized for small cameras
  61. 2:55like the 6600
  62. 2:56the 7S3
  63. 2:58the FX3 also with small lenses
  64. 3:00and only the fact of size and weight
  65. 3:02makes the difference completely.
  66. 3:04One of the things that I like the most
  67. 3:05is the fact that I can be walking
  68. 3:07and always have the gimbal with the camera
  69. 3:09ready to film at any time.
  70. 3:11For years I was compromising my back
  71. 3:13or I directly had the gimbal in my backpack
  72. 3:15and just by setting it and others I lost many shots
  73. 3:19that would have been very good
  74. 3:21I think that on this trip this gimbal is going to be perfect
  75. 3:24I know we have enough left to walk.
  76. 3:31Every step we take towards the top
  77. 3:32we realized how immense and incredible this territory was.
  78. 3:37And the heat was quite stifling.
  79. 3:39We sweat a lot, don't we? -Yes
  80. 3:41Look at me
  81. 3:43I'm completely soaked,
  82. 3:45I mean, it seems that I bathed twice here.
  83. 3:50The good thing is that we are always together
  84. 3:52hello beautiful!
  85. 3:55-Difficult? - If
  86. 3:58This that I have here was given the name like the poporo,
  87. 4:01in Kogi we call it sugi.
  88. 4:04Inside there is a pulverized white sea snail powder
  89. 4:09that when we are doing this,
  90. 4:11this is where we are capturing everything
  91. 4:14we are thinking, hearing and feeling.
  92. 4:19In a few words it could be said as a personal diary.
  93. 4:26After several kilometers
  94. 4:27we began to connect with the tranquility of the place.
  95. 4:34And we do not hesitate to freshen up
  96. 4:35before reaching our first camp.
  97. 4:38I think I see some houses over there
  98. 4:41Ugh we are coming.
  99. 4:45With the exhaustion of the first day
  100. 4:47we arrived at the cabin where we were going to spend the first night.
  101. 4:51Well now we are preparing for dinner,
  102. 4:53we are going to sleep here in some cabins that are back here
  103. 4:55, the beds are with mosquito nets, everything is excellent.
  104. 4:58Tomorrow we will have a very intense day.
  105. 5:00We will sleep early
  106. 5:02and tomorrow we will start before dawn.
  107. 5:03Now at this moment I am illuminating this whole environment
  108. 5:06with this light that the M 3S stabilizer brings.
  109. 5:09It has a led light of different
  110. 5:11cold and warm intensities, it looks excellent,
  111. 5:13so let's eat now.
  112. 5:17Good morning,
  113. 5:18today we got up very early at
  114. 5:204:30 a.m. It was the call to take advantage of the day
  115. 5:22and today's walk
  116. 5:24, which will undoubtedly be the hardest.
  117. 5:25We left early for a reason
  118. 5:26and that is because it rains here in the afternoon
  119. 5:28so we have to make the most of the day before
  120. 5:30it rains because when it gets rainy
  121. 5:32there it gets more complicated.
  122. 5:36Wow, it's incredible how in the morning
  123. 5:37a kind of mist forms here in the
  124. 5:41magical environment!
  125. 5:49Well in front we have, you can hear howler monkeys
  126. 5:53and on the mountain in front of you jaguars
  127. 5:56and among other cats that we have here in the mountains.
  128. 5:58Wow jaguars!
  129. 5:59so, hey huh! how they behave, but Eli commands them.
  130. 6:08It's already hard huh, I've never sweated like this in my life.
  131. 6:11-Incredible Eli, isn't it? -Yes, it's incredible.
  132. 6:13We're very sweaty
  133. 6:17, but the views are there!
  134. 6:18We began to introduce
  135. 6:21the climate into indigenous lands, the nature slowly changing.
  136. 6:25Currently there are four tribes descendants of the Tayrona
  137. 6:28, the Kogui, Wiwa, Arhuaco and Kankuamos.
  138. 6:32Well now we are officially
  139. 6:33entering Indian land territory, there are four tribes.
  140. 6:39The interesting thing is that they still keep the same traditions,
  141. 6:42so there are many things that they share like songs and so on.
  142. 6:45And something quite interesting
  143. 6:47is that when one tribe meets another,
  144. 6:49the greeting they have is to exchange
  145. 6:51coca leaves from one bag to another,
  146. 6:54so that is a respectful way of greeting.
  147. 6:58Well, at this moment
  148. 6:59we are in the Kogui town called Motenyi,
  149. 7:03these houses
  150. 7:05are made up of earth, stones, sticks and palms.
  151. 7:08Throughout the Sierra Nevada we have 233 indigenous settlements
  152. 7:13like these and we always
  153. 7:17do it in a circular fashion in our traditional houses.
  154. 7:19All they see in our culture are circles, they are cycles,
  155. 7:22that's why we do it that way
  156. 7:24and these two sticks that are up here,
  157. 7:27that's like a representation of the two most important peaks
  158. 7:30that we have here in the Sierra Nevada.
  159. 7:32Well, those are not for the Wi-Fi, they are not for the TV,
  160. 7:35it would be very cool, but no,
  161. 7:37that is just a representation of the two peaks of the city.
  162. 7:47Well, now we are arriving at a school,
  163. 7:49that is, after having walked so much we found a school.
  164. 7:52How far do the boys have to travel to get here?
  165. 7:53- And some who take an hour
  166. 7:56to get here
  167. 7:57-Wanting
  168. 7:58-That's wanting
  169. 7:59-and if you want, can you or not?
  170. 8:01- Yes -Yes, exactly
  171. 8:06Look, this little boy was lying down,
  172. 8:09a beautiful little pig looks like a puppy.
  173. 8:22One of the most key things that I think about this Gimbal
  174. 8:24is the quick release
  175. 8:26, which is basically an easy entry to be able to hook it up
  176. 8:29and be ready to go directly.
  177. 8:30All the people who used a gimbal at the time
  178. 8:33know that it is something super complicated from the fact of placing the gimbal,
  179. 8:36balancing it and so on.
  180. 8:37And the good thing about it is that with just one click
  181. 8:39you're ready to go
  182. 8:41and that really saves me a lot of time taking shots.
  183. 8:47We arrived at the camp before sunset
  184. 8:49to be able to rest.
  185. 8:51We had no idea what was going to happen the next day.
  186. 8:59We got up very early to take advantage of the sun
  187. 9:01on our way to the final destination,
  188. 9:03even though we still had several kilometers to go.
  189. 9:11It's up there,
  190. 9:13that's where we're going.
  191. 9:17At this point everything was a physical and mental challenge
  192. 9:20to top it off the storm was coming.
  193. 9:24Our long-awaited final ascent looked a little more complicated.
  194. 9:31Well, what has been said
  195. 9:33has started to rain like a beast here
  196. 9:36and the roads become very complicated
  197. 9:37, it is very difficult to get there,
  198. 9:39the truth is we don't know if we are going to be able to get there,
  199. 9:41it is quite dangerous.
  200. 9:45Luckily we were able to move on
  201. 9:46and we had one last challenge left to reach our final destination.
  202. 9:51Well, here we are at the famous stairs,
  203. 9:53we are going to take the first step and we are going to start with the 1,200 steps
  204. 9:56that we have to take to climb, so first,
  205. 10:00here we go.
  206. 10:03Since those times
  207. 10:05they used the same stairs that we are using,
  208. 10:07they are quite slippery so you have to be careful.
  209. 10:11Nati was going through a critical moment
  210. 10:13on the brink of abandonment.
  211. 10:14-Give it no more, there's less to go
  212. 10:20-It's better if I wait
  213. 10:23Ta so ta so
  214. 10:24and we're finally here
  215. 10:27-Crash, we're here, huh!
  216. 10:32And a prize also to spikerulais who also
  217. 10:36accompanied us all the way.
  218. 10:37People and with you...
  219. 10:39the Lost City
  220. 10:54And there we were
  221. 10:55where one of the
  222. 10:57most impressive civilizations in the world lived.
  223. 11:02Every time I come here
  224. 11:04I feel connected with nature and with my ancestors.
  225. 11:09This is a magical place with a lot of energy.
  226. 11:14Everything that we are seeing here in this place
  227. 11:17took more than 1,500 years to be able to build
  228. 11:22on everything that we are appreciating right now.
  229. 11:25That is, if you realize
  230. 11:27and have a dimension of what this is,
  231. 11:28they put stone by stone.
  232. 11:30As Eli counted,
  233. 11:3270% was brought from here from the river
  234. 11:34and the rest from the surrounding area.
  235. 11:37All these rings, all these terraces that are here
  236. 11:40before, there were houses, traditional houses
  237. 11:44just like we still have right now.
  238. 11:48And when we die we
  239. 11:49always bury our loved ones inside a vessel
  240. 11:53inside a clay pot,
  241. 11:55we also put many things in it, such as very important, very valuable
  242. 11:59pre-Columbian stones, quartz, gold,
  243. 12:03so when we bury these valuable things
  244. 12:07it is so that at each entrance
  245. 12:09on that planet you can pay with those things.
  246. 12:17Wow, the peace that you feel in this place is incredible,
  247. 12:19we are almost alone and the sounds there are.
  248. 12:25At that moment you realize
  249. 12:26that we are in the most impressive places in the world,
  250. 12:29and that everything you walked was 100% worth it.
  251. 12:34-And Nati, what did you think of the place?
  252. 12:35-Beautiful, a little difficult to reach
  253. 12:37but when you get here the reward is very great,
  254. 12:40beautiful, beautiful!
  255. 12:41It feels a peace, a tranquility
  256. 12:43I love.
  257. 12:44-Challenge complete!
  258. 12:45-Very good
  259. 12:49Well people I hope you liked this adventure,
  260. 12:51the truth is that it was quite hard.
  261. 12:53But the truth is that I loved it,
  262. 12:54that is, spending so much time in nature, in the jungle,
  263. 12:57the truth is that you connect with all the people here
  264. 13:00who also have different but very interesting beliefs.
  265. 13:03We share it with Eliseo, he's a crack,
  266. 13:05if they come here they have to come with him,
  267. 13:07I'll leave the contact here below.
  268. 13:09And the truth is that using this little friend on this trip was great,
  269. 13:13that is, this gimbal works very well,
  270. 13:15that is, if you have a small camera,
  271. 13:17I think it is the perfect gimbal for travel.
  272. 13:19On the other hand, if you have slightly larger cameras
  273. 13:22or with heavier lenses,
  274. 13:23I recommend moving to a superior gimbal that can hold more weight.
  275. 13:27But the truth is that due to its size, weight and price,
  276. 13:31the truth is that it is unbeatable.
  277. 13:32And the truth is that
  278. 13:33the fact that it is so comfortable and light that Nati could be filming
  279. 13:36and not only with the camera but also with the cell phone
  280. 13:38makes it a perfect combo for all kinds of trips or travelers
  281. 13:42who want to have fairly light equipment in their backpack
  282. 13:45, which I think is something very, very good.
  283. 13:47So folks I hope you enjoyed the video,
  284. 13:48we have ten more kilometers to walk
  285. 13:50and see you in the next video
  286. 13:52bye!
