[00:00:08]Hello YouTube. Today we are off to the PBLO of Chukiri Bamba to take part in a fiesta.

[00:00:16]Hi, good morning.

[00:00:19]I got invited to go camping. So that's what we're doing today. We're going up to a a little community north of Lowa that uh I will mispronounce if I try. What is the name of the town again?

[00:00:34]>> Chuki Bamba. Chuki Bamba. Uh it's a carpool situation and I've been asked to drive so there won't be a lot of video on the way there, but uh it should be a really good time. I look forward to showing it. Okay.

[00:00:52]Okay, we made it. Uh, five people packed into the car. That was a lot of fun.

[00:00:58]Little underpowered on the hills. We're at about 2,700 m, I'm told, so it should be a little cooler. I know now, like when the sun comes out, it's actually quite hot. But, uh, you can hear the music. It's really starting to sound like a festivity around here. So, I'll turn the camera around so you can see what's going on.

[00:01:39]It is here.

[00:02:12]No one tell Pikachu is in.

[00:02:42]So this is uh >> Equali Kuyas. Kuas.

[00:03:58]Gracias.

[00:04:43]Hello.

[00:05:12]I mean, I mean, How you What's that?

[00:06:12]>> I love how Ecuadorians take time to greet one another.

[00:06:22]If you're wondering where we're going, the fellow in the black shirt offered to let us pick apples on his property.

[00:06:30]Apples are not native to Ecuador and can only be found growing at high elevation where the climate mimics higher latitudes.

[00:06:48]Yeah.

[00:07:16]Ah. Could you tell me a name the name of that fruit again?

[00:07:38]>> Guanavana.

[00:07:41]>> Mhm.

[00:07:41]>> Wavana.

[00:07:43]>> How do you spell that? Is it uh how does it begin? Like >> oh.

[00:08:58]Well, that was very nice. Guanavana.

[00:09:02]I've seen these things before. I didn't know what they were. I didn't know if they were a fruit or a vegetable or what, but they're a massive fruit. I should find out if it's uh like does it grow in a tree or on the ground or what?

[00:09:14]But you saw the size of it. It's like a medicine ball. Apparently they get up to was it 3 lb for one. Anyway, I couldn't eat it all. Just stuffed.

[00:09:25]Apparently they get up to 30 lb and grow on the ground like a pumpkin. Delicioso guava.
