Good morning everybody. And welcome to day three of Genetic Genealogy Ireland 2015. So it's nice to see so many people getting up so early in the morning to come and listen to Jarrod Corcoran. Jarrod is the Irish representative for the International Society of Genetic Genealogy. He works very, very hard to promote genetic genealogy within Ireland, especially behind the scenes, lobbying government officials and a variety of local government personnel to actually promote genetic genealogy Ireland, especially within an Irish context. So it gives me great pleasure to introduce Jarrod and just make sure that the recording is on. That's fine. And he's going to give us an update on the state of genetic genealogy in Ireland today. Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to Jarrod Corcoran. Thank you, Morris. And as this is an update, it's not a full lecture, so it'll be about 20 minutes. I'll go through it fairly quickly. The objective is to tell you what we're doing here, what we want to do, and what we're planning to do for next year. And one of our key focus areas is on Irish surnames. We have a poster out there on the wall, which you may want to look at. It's taken from the 1891 census. It's produced by ESRI, which is the leading mapping company. And this is a award-winning map where we map pretty much all of the births in Ireland in 1891, according to county and locality and so on and so forth. And we're working with ESRI to produce more analytical type maps on SNP analysis and so on and so forth. We've done quite a few drafts. They're not really ready for publication yet, so hopefully by next year's GGI 2016 we'll have something to show. This is the genealogy of Irish surnames. We do geographic analysis, SNP analysis, surname clouds, phylogenetic mapping, mapping surnames to the phylogenetic tree, mapping to the clans of Ireland, to the ancient clans, to the surnames and map. We also work with Alex Williamson on his big tree for next generation sequencing and mapping surnames onto that, doing surname mapping and surname origins. There's another poster which is outside, and this is all about Irish migrations. And on our interest board we have about over 8,000 topics now. Pretty much all of the academic papers which come out, we post them up there. Anything which is relevant to migrations into Ireland or out of Ireland, we post the major conclusions of them with a little bit of analysis. So it's going the ancient migrations into Ireland, out of Ireland, ancient DNA, which is accelerating. We heard from Dan Bradley that we will probably have 20 samples available in the next couple of years that they're sequencing from all of the major eras, from Neolithic, Bronze, Iron Age, Early Christian era. We look at the Bronze Age, which is a critical era. It was the Golden Age in Ireland when there was a lot of golden artifacts were actually found. But it was also a period of expansion. The Iron Age, Celtic migrations, Early Christian, and the migration or the wanderings of the Irish monastic movement out of Ireland all over Europe. Vikings, when the Vikings came in, the Norman migrations and the later Anglo-Saxon migrations. And again you can see all of this on the poster outside, and the Pinterest boards are updated on a daily basis. This year was a particularly rich year in terms of findings and understanding of Indo-European migrations. We had landmark studies from Brandt Eald, which showed the expansion of the microchondrial DNA H in particular during the middle-late Neolithic. We had the landmark papers from Reich Eald, which identified the steppe migrations from the east into Europe. So we had gone from having two major understanding of two major migrations, the Mesolithic and the Neolithic. And then we found the third one, which was the Bronze Age, Steppe's migration. There's been a lot of debate about the Anatolian or the steppe hypothesis. In fact, there's a major conference going on in Germany this week in Iana, and most of the leaders from genetics like Hack, Reich, Allentoft, Brandt will be there, leading archaeologists will be there, the leading linguists will be there, John Koch will be there, Lord Renfew. So hopefully this week there should be a lot of good debate about resolving between the Anatolian or the steppe hypothesis. And then, of course, the major study this year was the Allentoft study, which identified the Yamuna genetic signature, which was R1B. And of course we know that R1B is the absolute dominant signature which is found in Ireland. And we have done the major helper group in Ireland is L21, that's a branch. There are three main branches under P312, L21, U152 and DF27. And so we've done extensive analytics on the frequencies of these, the expansion, try to estimate, to match them to the archaeological finds and the linguistic evidence available. So all of this again is on the Pinterest site. And one of the things we'd like to do is we have, I'm taking this book here, which is the largest source, I suppose, of ancient genealogies in Ireland. It's a great book of genetic genealogy, which was produced in the 16th century by Macphurbish. And I've donated or lent my copy of it to the Genealogy Society of Ireland, who is just behind us here. And our plan is to get it digitized, indexed and put online, and then gradually to start mapping these ancient genealogies to the phylogenetic tree. As we saw from some of the previous presentations, the phylogenetic tree has expanded dramatically in the last year. We sometimes call it the snipped tsunami. And so we have a lot more data, which is available, to allow this mapping between the phylogenetic tree and the ancient genealogies. Of course, we will find that many of them won't match. Of course, you won't. Many of the genealogies were fabricated. But we will find that some of them do. And the process will be trying to determine which ones are good and which are bad. We have collected... Barciasco did a lot of work on ancient genealogies, or the chiefly pedigrees. And these are available. And again, we will look at indexing these and mapping them to the phylogenetic tree. This is an example of the latest phylogenetic tree for L21. It's very detailed. If you imagine, a couple of years ago, you would have had perhaps five major SNPs below the main L21. So now it's expanding every day. So we are getting a lot more detail. It's coming into the historic period for the SNPs which are named. And this should allow us to match them to known personages who are around in the historic period. And some of those which have already been identified are, for example, Eli O'Carroll, which is a SNP under the F21, the monster as we saw from Elizabeth and Finbar. Yesterday is C4466 and also the Dalcash L226, the Kennel Connell DF-25, Gallaudas, Gaelic, the Conneta M222, the Royal Stewart Line, which is under the F41, and the Dalrydyn Scotland. I would imagine we would make a lot more progress this year and we should have 20 or 30 more, I would expect by this time next year. One of the other projects I've been working on for this year is Epic Ireland. Two years ago we made a major submission to the Irish government to recommend that they develop a diaspora centre. There were several candidates around Ireland, one in the Darklands, another in Daliri, in Tullamore, in Cork, in Galway, etc. Eventually the government backed out of the project. However, all is not lost. A major entrepreneur stepped forward. This was Neville Istfeld, he is the ex-Chairman of Coca-Cola. He bought a landmark building in Dublin, which is called the CHQ building. It's one of the largest Georgian buildings in Dublin. It's an absolutely beautiful building. It was the location where the largest banquet was ever held in Ireland. It was for the returning Crimean soldiers. The project is to build a digital diaspora centre there. There will be no traditional artefacts, there will be only digital artefacts. There will be high tech. For the speakers we have organised to visit to this tomorrow, Epic Ireland won't be ready, but we will get a preview from it from the guy who is building it, Michael Coulomane. The final thing, we see that sequencing genetics is becoming commoditised, it's becoming cheaper, the cost is coming down. The bottleneck now is in the data and in the big data analytics. So I've spent a lot of time with IBM Watson to experiment. The results so far have not been great. We still have a lot more work to do. I've also engaged with the Insight Centre for Data Analytics, which is a group funded by the Irish government. They have about 80 million in funding and about 200 PhDs, and they're focused entirely on big data analytics. So I see that we have the 20 minutes are up, and that's a quick update, and I'll be happy to take a couple of questions. Thanks very much, Gerry. It is absolutely fantastic to have you as our representative, because you work so hard to get a lot of the... Well, to move us into the future, really. I'm really enthusiastic about visiting the Epic Ireland Centre tomorrow on a fabulous day out, because I think that could very well be a future venue for an even larger genetic genealogy in the conference. So that will be something that we will hopefully explore with the management of the Epic Ireland Centre. Do you have any particular thoughts on that yourself? Yeah, well, we did propose to do on-the-spot testing, and we're thinking of using Oxford Nanopore when it becomes ready for market, so that someone could come in, do a test, and by the time they finish the visit, they would have their results. We are not there yet. We are not there yet. However, that's the idea. Gerry, because all this stuff in the background, we only hear about it at these conferences. So I'm a Halloran, and M222 got a lot of snips down the line at the track, and then when looking at a lot of the surnames that are connected with that back in time, like the Y12, Y25, it all looks uproar. So I'm kind of curious as to how M222 got characterised as well. It appears that the history of the Elrads came down at least from Donagall, and essentially the names. From whom? It came from counting Donagall down to the Galway area, so they migrated into the Canock area, but why is the M22 characterised as Canock? Yeah, I'm not expert on that. However, from what I've seen so far, it would appear that it came from the Canock area, or the Canock, and expanded further north from there. The National Geographic did a sampling of mail. They tested 100 people, and they found the absolute highest frequency of M222 was in mail. So that's more on the Canock side. I think there's a lot of work to be done. It's kind of dangerous to be assigning clans or tribes to snips at the moment. However, we are doing the initial work on that. I think this is all very, very exciting. I think we forget genetic genealogy is such a fast-moving field that when you talk about having your DNA tested as you come into the building and get the results as you go out of the building, that is a realistic... That will come. It will probably take a few more years, but someone has to do the work to make it happen, right? So we will try to... So for Epic Island, it will start with traditional genealogy when it opens in May of next year, but we are talking about introducing genetic genealogy. And that's where people like the main Irish Heritage Centre who have provided a template for cooperation between heritage centres, traditional genealogy and genetic genealogy. That's the sort of place where you could say, here's the template. We will educate you on how to set up your own particular project in your own particular area. So it's really exciting. We're going to have a really exciting couple of years ahead of us in genetic genealogy. Just a question about Epic Island. Is that going to be run as a commercial? Yes, it is commercial. They have invested a lot of money. They bought the building for 10 million, they're investing with my director 10 million into it. Once they... After the crash, the property crash, it was 11 days, so they opened up, previously invested 50 million in it and we sold for 10, right? So they... They did the barricade with it and they're investing in it. It should be a good... One of the most effusive things is the deliberation of names among the... They're very complicated. The design and so on. They've been mindful. So, I started training some of them to correlate them, I believe. Is that true? There are several... The academic community uses the S notation, as you know. The ISOC... I think I'm referring up to date, three. There are several options available. And the... The Muzo team in the end-up state produced an additive for the forensic genealogy community and they are mindful who have produced their... Yes, the location is confusing. It's... It's not perfect at all but there are a lot of people working hard at that time. I know that Alex is no longer doing it myself. We'll have a much better idea of the situation in November when we attend the family treaty in a conference in Houston but not only is there a confusion of snips, there's a confusion of sniff names as well, with a variety of different people naming snips and no particular international standard available currently. So, yeah, the situation is confusing. The best organization to do it is ISOC. It's not a commercial organization. I worked in the telecommunications industry and if we hit that naming standard, we're going to be able to connect with them. We absolutely need these names. So, I'm going to have to cut it there because we have Linda Kern speaking to us now on DNA for Beginners. So, I'm going to announce that and then try to get people in here. But please, can you show your appreciation for Gerard Corker and Alex?


What's good George the boros back out again with another video? So we're gonna check out top 20 shocking returns and Summer Slam history. Yes, Summer Slam is already Passed but you guys have been hitting me up in In the DMs on Instagram and on Twitter to check this video out So guess what I'm gonna check it out for you guys Appreciate all the love and support on the channel man You guys have been running it up as a late and I just want to say thank you guys We're almost at 90k and let's get right into this one should be a good Good old. Oh, oh, I love when you hear that you think you know me It gets me every time It's glad it's good to see that we're gonna get another Edge return in this video obviously from Summer Slam as well That's the thumbnail of the video edge return from this summer slam And I just I just love to see it anytime I hear you think you know me it just it brings me joy Love to see it Man look at that This was good this was good, I think a lot of us knew Bailey was gonna return that summer slam This was really good Very very good Easily one of the best moments from Summer Slam this year NXT call-outs and Bailey I forgot about this one I can't wait for Big E to come back the pop he's gonna get depending on how they bring them back It's gonna be good wishing you speed of recovery big Randy Savage man recipes Kevin I Remember watching that I was so confused.  That's Kevin Nash here And he just walked away This is when Michael Cole was at his worst It was cool to see Daniel Bryan take a spot Next is definitely should have won this but you know, we all make mistakes John Not eternal suffering HPK versus Triple H Unsanctioned match man. It was it was his first time our wrestling It was his first time coming back wrestling after he had like a four-year hiatus from WWE Great match fun match. Oh Oh Bro, it's just gonna be all on this list and it's great. This was a good entrance to I forgot this was at Summer Slam I forgot This was so good, bro This is so cool We watched this on live We did a lot of string reaction this and we marked out with the brood entrance And then you switch it to to the I think the the you think you know me Interest to Time to play the game Who misses the old school Summer Slam sets where they used to be so extravagant and stuff like who misses those I'd miss them, bro. I'll bring them back WWE if you can The Summer Slam sets used to be like the entrance ways used to be so cool Bring back the unique entrance ways in WWE like the themed ones Entrances by a wrestler of all time, but so creepy and and so like scary at the same time, but dope Becky Lynch Crowd went crazy. I went crazy and then It just it went south very quickly Yeah, that was a good return and then it just got it just got ruined Uh-oh, this is the Hogan era right here for my time You have to crowd height back then he's been on them. Oh This is no undertaker Classic match classic match.  Oh, oh man, I Wish the crowd was here for this one. Oh, this is such a great return. Oh my god. This is good But this is wreck everyone in lead. This is so good Ha ha ha ha the ultimate warrior rest in peace man. I was quick. It looked like that was very quick Paul bear rest in peace Damn a young undertaker man, of course. This was this was a good one too, man Just see edge and it's like See edge row return make his his returns dog. It's it's they're always they always hit They always just leave you wanting more man. I Mean everybody kind of knew who it was This was a cool one though. This was cool though Walking with a mission. I Remember this one boy Boy dub was pissed He would be pissed at watching this video I was actually for this only because this was a different Roman Roman was a heel Brock was the face and I was looking forward to this in their match I had a crown jewel was okay. I didn't you know, I wasn't big fan of the finish I think the best match they had obviously in my opinion was WrestleMania 31 match and This last SummerSlam match easily one of the the second best It damn near. It's it's the second best in the sense of I Guess you could say because we were so tired of seeing them go at it But what they did and the crazy spots they pulled off made that match So good, but the first one WrestleMania 31 very good. That's easily they best match So this was interesting Because Roman was a heel now He was a different person than what he was previously so yeah, man, um This was a cool list. I don't know if I would have put Brock at number one. I Don't know me personally. I don't know I guess you could say it makes sense because when I watched it initially all I was shocked and I was very intrigued because I wanted to see what they were gonna do Brock and Roman now that Roman is in this mega rogue mode So I guess it makes sense for it to be up there, but I don't know man. I feel like maybe Maybe edges like the brood one. I probably would have put that one at number one We was going to get Seth Rollins. That was a good one. So I don't know but comment down below Let me know do you all agree with this list? Do y'all feel like Brock listeners should have been the number one Shocking return in SummerSlam history. Let me know down below man But I appreciate all the love and support you guys been showing on my channel man I really am very thankful for all the support and I appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all on the next one. Peace


Wow, that is a massive view. Absolutely incredible. Hi, I'm Lavi. And I'm Oli. And this is our hero, Bumblebee. Together, we are attempting a Guinness World Record to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle. Join us for season three, here in South America. Good morning world, welcome back to the channel. It's day number 319 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle, woo! Yeah, we're just packing up Bumblebee this morning. We are in the town of San Jose in Peru. And we've got an absolutely awesome day coming up today because we are gonna visit Peru's second most visited attraction, the Colca Canyon. And this is actually one of the deepest canyons in the world. And apparently you can see a lot of condors there and it's super impressive. And even the ride to get there is like super twisty and super windy and should be absolutely awesome. So let me show you the route for today. So we are still down here. We haven't made it that far into Peru just yet. And today we are gonna be passing Araquipa and heading up to Chivay before heading across to visit Canyon del Colca. It's actually just 150 miles, but Google map says it will take us five hours. So it's already eight o'clock. Better hit the road, let's go. We're just guys here, ciao. Okay, first mission of the day is oil our chain. Some TLC for bumblebee. Three, two, one, go. Okay, three, two, one, go. Three, two, one, go. Wow, that's a heavy bike. Ready? Go. Perfecto. Muchas gracias. Gracias. What is it? Mi Alemania el enletera. Motorcyclista enletera. Ah, es el enletera. Yeah, enletera. Todo de mundo. Todo mundo en moto. Todo mundo en moto, sí. This one is sticky. Va a poner en el carro. Oh, thank you. Where are you going now? Araquipa, Canyon del Colca. Después. Cusco. Cusco. La carretera bloqueada. Están haciendo protesta. Which town is a blocked? Cubliaca, Sikwani. Okay. Muchas gracias. Okay, gracias. A este lado, sí. Okay, okay, okay. Muchas gracias. Ciao, ciao. Ciao, ciao. Ciao. So it was difficult to understand exactly what which parts he was trying to tell us about, but he was definitely trying to tell us that there was some protests and some places to avoid and some roads that were blocked, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that might be something we have to deal with over the next few days for sure. Yeah, but yeah, super friendly, super nice. Even though we don't really speak Spanish, but oh yeah, petrol. Get it now. Good idea. It's really crazy though, because we can see loads of evidence of the protests that were happening earlier this year, where basically just like in Brazil when we were there, all the roads were being blocked and tires were being set on fire. Yeah, you can see here on the right side, the dark black, this is like the remaining of the burnt tires. And you can see, look at this on the road here. Wow. Like it's completely broken the road. Yeah, here as well. And just black everywhere. Crazy. It's really sad because it seems like that the people here are actually very friendly and very open and welcoming and that they have still so many issues with their politicians is just sad. Yeah, we have traffic in the desert. Oh no.  And I don't know why. I don't know. Yeah, there's like roadworks. Ah, okay. Ah, roadworks.  You've got one, two, three, four, five trucks. I do not know how we are going to pass these trucks. And we are heading up into the mountains.  It won't be a fast day. Oh no. Anyway, yeah, we're winding our way through. Let's see how it goes. Let's see how long it will take us. Yeah, let's see where we're at in an hour. Yeah. Wow, we can see crazy massive snowy mountains in the distance. And that's the direction we are headed up, up, up, up, up back from sea level up to like 4,000 meters again. Crazy. I can see down there like a straight. So this will be probably our opportunity to overtake all the trucks. Crazy man. Like we are in a desert here and you can see snowy mountains in the background. That's something, hey. What a beautiful ride this morning. Beautiful mountain views, beautiful trucks. We're riding five kilometers an hour. Yeah, it's currently half past 10 and we've made it 34 miles today. So not the greatest progress because we have 93 more before we get to a town called Chivay which is going to be our way across to Colca Canyon. Oh, look at this guy. Oh, he's like really going for a day. Yeah. I don't know if this road is going to be like this for the next nine to three miles but if it is, man, it's going to be some kind of day. Ha, ha, ha, stuck in a traffic in Peru. Yeah, we're not in Patagonia anymore. No, yeah, actually people. Okay, we just stopped a little bit off the highway here. I'm going to see what they've got in here. Is this anything for us? Hola, buenas. A sandwich, huevo? Is that it? Huevo, do you want tomato or something? Tomato, eh, huevo. Tomate? Tomate, yeah. Tomate, yeah. Tomato, yeah, yeah. Ha, ha, ha. Dos, dos. Awesome. Finding something to eat and yes. Coffee, coffee from Peru. Peru. Peru, sí. Perfecto. Gracias, gracias. Oh, gracias. Awesome. Gracias. Look at that. Perfect. We've managed to find something vegetarian. Yes. Wow, and I think, look, they have like papa frita in there. They have cheese in there, egg in there, vegetables in there. Wow, I think we hit the jackpot with this one. A motorcycle around the world. Es Instagram, YouTube, todo. Ay, lo pego, lo pego. Yes, gracias. Ciao, ciao. Back in traffic. Yeah, I'm disappointed the traffic hasn't finished. Yeah, me neither. That's life, eh? Yeah, back at it. Let's see how far we can get. Here are the promised mountain views. Yeah, it's finally a little bit more open here. There are still trucks, but they're a little bit more spread out, which is really good. So we've managed to make 60 miles now, and it's 12 o'clock. So, yeah. But we had a really nice lunch break as well, so. We have 66 miles to go to get to Chivay, so we'll see how we get on. But it's looking a little bit better. Yeah, and it's just nice to be up in the mountains again. We have 16 degrees, so the air is nice and fresh. And you have really nice views. So we're making the descent now down into the town of Chivay, which is 13 miles way down at the bottom there. But there is a huge storm over the back end of this hill in front. And we are teetering right on the edge of it. Yeah, we could see already some lightnings. And we looked up actually that lightnings are very, very dangerous for a motorcyclist. When we were in the lightning storm back in Chile, we weren't even impressed and maybe we were safe because we were on rubber tires or something. But I looked it up and know a lot of motorcyclists get hit by lightning, and there is absolutely no protection for you. So we're really hoping that by a miracle, the storm will just disappear and we have a free ride to the canyon. Let's just hope for the best, eh? Yeah. It's literally over the other side of that hill. Yeah. No. Oh no, no, no, no, no. Please. Ah, the rain is getting us. I'd look at the switchbacks to come to get down. Oh my God, this is a windy, windy, wiggly, wiggly road. Totally, totally. Ah, I can just about see Chivay down at the bottom of the valley there. It looks like there's sunshine. She does look sunny down there. Yeah. Oh no, get down to Chivay. Because it's super crazy. We are actually still at 4,000 meters here. Yeah, I didn't realize how high we climbed, but that pass must have been over 4,500 meters. Yeah, huge. Insane. Well, what a change of environment. It looks like we have made it down to the bottom of the valley and it's sunny here. It's so sunny and pleasant. Oh my God. Yes. A different world here. Wow, that's awesome. Yeah. You can see the terraced hills with everything so green and lush and sunny. Really cool. Yeah, wow. It took us, I mean, at what time did we start it? We started about nine. Nine, 10, 11, 12, 12, yeah, five hours. Five hours for 126 miles. Wow. That's a long, long journey. Yeah, but look, the entrance here. Amazing. How cool. Yeah, we're getting into Inca Peru. Now this is beautiful. Beautiful. And the sheeps. Amazing. Precio de Ingrisio. Okay. Apparently we have to maybe pay. I'm not sure. Let's find out. So Ollie just went inside with the lady and I don't know if we have to pay anything to go and see the canyon or what is going on. Okay, so yeah, we actually had to pay to get in this area. The ticket is basically for the whole Colca Cana region, all the way to a town called Cabaconde, which is where we're headed. And the ticket is 150 Solas for both of us, 70 each. And how much is that? Like 30 pounds? I think so. Yeah, 30 pounds. Yeah, 30 pounds. Wow. I surprised us. We had to pay, but I guess it is, you know, Peru's second most visited attraction, the Colca Canyon. So yeah, they did give us a map of the area. So that's pretty cool. We've got a free map. Yes. Yeah, but we have no cash left. No, it was cash only and that was pretty much our last. So we may need an ATM after the petrol station. Yes. So we managed to get cash from the ATM in town. We managed to get petrol. And now we're just eating our way through a bag of cookies and we're going to have a look at our map and we're going to see what we're going to do today. I can hear a festival going on. No, they've got a different street. We have to find them. I can hear them. I can hear them. They're around here. Whoa, here we go. Wow. Hello. Oh, that's so cool. All right, that's awesome. So this is our free map that we got from the visitor center. And we are here in Chivay. And basically the Colca Canyon is following this blue river here. And we are also going to be following it this way. And there's loads of miradors to stop at and check it out. And we are going to be going all the way to Cabaconde where we're going to be looking for a room for the night. Oh, look at this curb. Yes. Hit the bash plate. Totally. We must be in like the historic center of the town. But it's super pretty here. How do you like Chivay? Yeah, it's very nice. Very nice. Look at this beautiful plaza. Amazing. Oh, wow. And yeah, there's a festival going on today and you've got lots of people in traditional dress. I don't know if they wear the traditional dress all the time. But I love the traditional dress so much. It's absolutely stunning. Yeah. What a cute place. Extreme, beautiful views here already. And we are just 10 miles into the trail here. I really feel like we're delving deep into like the Inca past. You can see that there's so much history here. They've terraced like the entire mountain side. Basically every mountain you can see is terraced. Whoa. Okay. Just about. But it's absolutely crazy at the moment because this is supposed to be Peru's second most visited tourist attraction. But we've been the only ones on the road since we started. Which is absolutely crazy. I mean, I guess just because of the ongoing protests and the political instability, people just aren't coming here. Don't go too close to the edge. The canyons are starting now. Look at that. And look at where we're going. We're going through the tunnel and then along the cliff here. Wow. Very, very cool. I mean, how incredible. Hey, just imagining like people working this field, this terraces, walking up and down and cutting with their hands. You can feel like hundreds of years of history here. It's amazing. Crazy. This is an incredibly dark tunnel. That's scary as hell.  No, I don't want to imagine that. I feel like I want to just stop and turn the engine off. And it's just like, oh my God. No, really when I look back, it's completely black. Completely black in here. Wow. It's that dark. You would have a good sleep in there. Jesus. Crazy. This canyon is definitely starting to get higher and higher. Yeah, well, this ride just gets better and better. Yeah, now we've entered into like these cactus hill territory. Look at these cactuses. Yeah, incredible. They are huge. Just turned off the highway to come to this minador. And I think we're getting pretty much to the biggest part of the canyon here. I won't go too far. Wow, that is a massive view. Absolutely incredible. Oh, that goes down a fair way. Hey, oh my goodness. Here we go. Look at this. Whoa, that's a big view. Can you hear the river at the bottom? Wow, it's massive, eh? Massive. So this is Mirador Cruz del Condor, the Condor Cross Lookout. And it's called that because here is actually a really, really good spot to see condors, Andean condors. And we actually saw a couple of them already passing by, but hopefully we'll see some more because now I've got this camera. So according to the sign up there, at 4,160 meters, Colca Canyon is actually the second deepest canyon in the world. Don't ask me what the deepest is. They didn't mention it. Apparently at this look out right here, the valley floor is 1,200 meters away. 1,200 meters away. That is crazy. I do think this is a condor. Ah, I think that might be a condor. Lavi and I are not birders very much. So we, oh, that is an Andean condor. Nice. Oh, that is an Andean condor. Nice. And this bird is really special because it can live 60 to 70 years and it can have a wingspan of like two to two and a half meters. So it is a huge, huge bird. Wow, what an epic landscape. Yeah, totally out of this world. It's not every day that you can admire such a big crack in the earth. Yeah, and I just love that the condors are around. It's just this combination of like landscape and really unique and special wildlife that I think is just absolutely magical. Wow, look at the landslide here. Oh my goodness. Wow, there was something going on. Yeah, that's a big landslide. Crazy. So now we'll be heading to Kabakonde, which is our end point on this ride here. And we haven't booked anything in the town. We don't know how big the town is, but I'm sure there'll be hopefully a room for us. Yes, it's still a little bit too cold and too windy for camping and the room prices are just too good here. Exactly. So we've got six and a half miles more of this spectacular road to ride. And then we'll be finding ourselves a beautiful room for the night. So we went the wrong way and now we have to cut our way here through to arrive at the place. Look at these things. Wow. Wow. They're absolutely massive. It's like the flower stem from, I don't know what they are, flax or something. Yeah. Wow. Super huge. And some horses and donkeys here and something flew in my eye. Yeah, me too. Oh. There must have been a swarm of bugs there. Yeah. Yeah, I thought we were going into the village and then we sort of carried on around this cliff here and the village is over there. We were like, where's the turnoff? So we found a hotel and we just parked up Bumblebee here in the jungle. So she will sleep here tonight. See you tomorrow, baby. Yes, we found ourselves an awesome room. Okay, thank you. And look how beautiful this town is. So nice. This is your place? Your grandmother's place. The hotel is my uncle. Your uncle. Okay, so all in the family, yeah? Yeah, cool, very cool. I was born in Lima. Oh, you were born in Lima? When I was 23 years, go, goodbye Lima. You're clever. My name is Fernando. Fernando. Very nice to meet you, very nice to meet you. And you like it here? I love, I love it. I want to come here. Yeah. You can breathe. You can breathe, yeah. Welcome to Paradise. Ta-da. This room with breakfast included tomorrow for 80 solos, which is about 18 pounds. So it's maybe a little bit over budget, but we can resist. And also, we went anyway today already over-butchered. Why not going totally over-butchered? We're going crazy now. Look at this, breakfast, hello. So that's it from us today. We hope you enjoyed the video.
