[Parker] We've done a lot of
[bleep] on these trips.

We've blown a lot of stuff up.

I don't think anything
compares to this.

There's really good gold
in the ground,

but it's very unsafe.

Hopefully, we all keep
our fingers and toes.

[man] So, in every hole,

they put 150 grams
of dynamite.

[Parker] That's what
I like to hear.

-[man] Dynamite there.
-[Dan] Okay,
how dangerous is this?

[Parker] If we do it wrong,
you'll never know.

[Parker] If we do it wrong,
you'll never know.

[speaking Spanish]

[man] Yeah. Your first mistake
is your last mistake.

-[laughing]
-[Dan] [bleep] hell.

Everything about this
feels wrong.

-You ready, Dan?
-I'm ready, man.

This seems so [bleep] wrong
with a lighter. [bleep]

[man speaking Spanish]

-[man speaking Spanish]
-Okay. It's okay?

Everything all right?

-Yeah, but it's burning back
and he has...
-[bleep]

-[man speaking Spanish]
-Vamonos.

-[men speaking Spanish]
-[Dan] Vamonos,
vamonos, vamonos.

-[men speaking Spanish]
-[Dan] Vamonos,
vamonos, vamonos.

-Let's go.
-[man speaking Spanish]

Unless it goes off right now,

that might be
the coolest thing

-we've ever done.
-[Dan] I know, mate.

[chuckling, exhales]

-[Parker laughing]
-[Dan] Let's get the [bleep]
out of here.

-[Parker] Man.
-[Dan chuckles]

-Insane.
-That has so much potential
to go wrong.

-[Dan] Really?
-[man speaking Spanish]

[Parker laughs]

-[explosion]
-[all exclaim]

[Parker] If you're actually
trying to find

some world-class ground,

you have to go
where nobody else goes.

South America has
a lot of ounces in the ground,

but it's not for
the faint of heart.

[Dan] Oh, AK-47s are out.

-[bangs]
-[Tyler screams]

What the [bleep]?

Let's grab our [bleep]
and get out of here.

[Tyler gasping]

All right.

[Parker speaking]

Ah!

[retches]

[retches]

There's a lot of gold
down here.

We need to pursue
anything that comes our way.

We're getting into
some gold country now.

Probably the best ground
we've ever seen.

If we can go somewhere
and do, like, one month mining

and find
20,000 ounces of gold...

Oh, my... Are you serious?

...then life's a party.

[Tyler] Oh, my [bleep].

That's just a shovel full
off the beach.

That's pretty rich ground.

That's wild that there's
that much gold here.

That's wild that there's
that much gold here.

Sounds like a deal.

-So, this is the down payment.
-[Dan] Oh!

-[horn blares]
-[Parker] Jeez!

[laughing]

[Parker] So, right now,
we're in Cuzco, Peru.

It's super exciting.

There's a huge amount
of gold history here.

Ton of gold mining.

Ton of gold mining.

I really enjoy mining
because it's rewarding,

but the process of it
is actually brutal

and you have to be strong.

I do like the Yukon.
I love it up there.

Um, it's beautiful country.

And, you know,
we've pulled, like,

50, 55,000 ounces
out of the ground
in the Yukon

in the last 10 years.

But I've seen
the writing on the wall

that the ground we have's
not gonna last
that much longer.

So I'm looking for
a really good piece of ground

So I'm looking for
a really good piece of ground

or an operation to invest in.

And Peru, even with not
a huge amount of investment,

it's still the fifth
largest-producing gold country
in the world,

so, like, there's definitely
a lot of gold in the ground

and, hopefully,

we can find some
for ourselves.

Um, muchas gracias, senor.

The main goal of this trip
is fairly straightforward...

Look at all that gold.

...to assess as many
current mining operations

or pieces of ground where
I think there's potential.

or pieces of ground where
I think there's potential.

If we can go somewhere and do,
like, one month of mining,

you know,
touch and feel and see

what the ground's like
and assess that,

this trip,
it's gonna be a success.

[narrator] With a
gold mining history

spanning over 500 years,

Peru has a yearly output

of nearly 100 tons of gold

worth over
four billion dollars.

Over eight weeks,

Parker will travel
to the nation's biggest
gold-producing regions

Parker will travel
to the nation's biggest
gold-producing regions

in search of a piece
of virgin ground.

From Cuzco,
Parker will take a deep dive

into Peru's
most remote jungles

and scale its highest peaks,

prospecting and mining
for his next big score.

[bell tolling]

[Parker] Well, [exhales]

I told Dan to meet me by
the golden dude with the axe

in the center of the square.

in the center of the square.

Let's see if him and Tyler
can figure that one out.

-[people chatting]
-[music playing]

This trip,
we'll be going to places

that are over
15,000 feet in elevation.

We'll be in the middle
of the jungle.

Having really good people
is so important.

Have you spoken
to him much? Like...

-I know nothing about this.
-Okay.

[Dan] I'm very close friends
with Parker.

That's probably
one of the reasons I'm here.

He likes to have
a close mate alongside him
doing all this stuff.

And then,
the other thing is I film it.

So I'm in the thick of it,

So I'm in the thick of it,

experiencing whatever it is
we're doing in the moment.

-Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.
-[Tyler laughing]

[Dan] You just got kissed
by a llama. [laughs]

I've been kissed by worse.

Parker's right in there
with the planning,

with the figuring out
where we're going.

So I'm excited
to step away from logistics

and concentrate on gold
and prospecting

and geology
and all the things I love.

I'm hoping Parker
leans on me to help him
make some big decisions.

I think there's
a lot of potential in Peru.

Those magical pieces of ground
filled with gold
are still out there.

Those magical pieces of ground
filled with gold
are still out there.

We just need to find them

and that's what
this trail is about.

-There it is.
-Where?

-Golden man with a big axe.
Found. Finally.
-Ah! Good job!

-[car horn blares]
-[Tyler gasps]

-[Dan] Hola!
-[Tyler] Hola!

[Dan] Buenos dias!

[Parker] Well, at least,
if you did get run over,

-you had to face it.
-[Tyler chuckling] Hi.

-[car horn beeps]
-[Parker] There's Diego.

-[car horn beeps]
-[Dan] Ah.

-[Parker] Our fourth member.
-Who is he again? Oh, wow.

[Parker] On this trip,
it'll be Tyler and Danny, who,

I've known both of them
for a long time.

I've known both of them
for a long time.

But, like any process,

the more you do it,
the more you'll refine it.

So, this year,
I want to take on somebody

that can really make
a difference to our success

because this trip
is gonna be brutal.

-[Dan] All right.
-Hi, guys.

[Dan] I'm exhausted already.

Hey. [exhales]

-[Diego] How are you?
-Hi, mate. Hi, Diego.

-Hello. Nice to meet you.
-Dan. That's Tyler.

-Nice to meet you.
-Hi there. You excited?

-Really excited.
-I'm so excited!

So, how did you find Diego?

Um, I knew that Danny
would try to kill me
in South America...

Um, I knew that Danny
would try to kill me
in South America...

[all laughing]

...and so Diego's
a heart surgeon.

-Wow.
-Good luck, Dan,
trying to kill me.

You're not
gonna be successful.

[all laughing]

[narrator]
Dr. Diego Lizarzaburu

spent eight years
as a heart surgeon,

in the last two,
running a COVID ICU in Lima.

Please breathe in. Hold.

This is
a whole new role for me.

COVID was a hard experience,

but also, it gave me ideas of

but also, it gave me ideas of

if I was actually willing
to spend the rest of my life
in a hospital

knowing that I'm really
an outdoor person.

I think I have
all the equipment,
the training,

and, yes, I'm willing
to keep everybody safe there.

That's why I'm going, right?

[narrator] As a
licensed bodyguard...

[shots firing]

...as well as being
the team medic,

Diego is also in charge
of logistics and safety.

[Diego] I speak the language.

I can get in touch
with some mining sites.

So I'm like the link
between Parker

So I'm like the link
between Parker

and his ambition
of finding gold.

What do you expect
of the whole journey?

[Parker] Really,
I'm hoping that we can find

some, like, virgin ground.

[Dan] How exciting
would that be

to find some ground that was,
like, barely touched?

That would be epic.

[Parker] And then,
I'm really interested in
where the Incans were mining

and where all of that gold
came from.

So that's a big part of it.

[narrator] 500 years ago,
the Incan empire

was one of the largest
civilizations in the world.

was one of the largest
civilizations in the world.

They believed gold
was the sweat
of their sun god, Inti,

and used it
to line their temples

and adorn their emperors.

The Incans had a huge amount
of gold, didn't they?

Huge. Huge.

And I know
you guys are looking for

following the Inca
gold history.

So I have something
to show you guys, a surprise.

Welcome to Pisac.

[narrator] Standing at
10,000 feet above sea level...

Look at that!

[narrator] ...Pisac is one of
the oldest remaining examples

of Incan civilization.

[Dan] So, that's it up there.
Is that where we're going?

[Parker] Sweet. Let's do it.

[Tyler] Oh, my [bleep].

[Dan chuckling] Whoa!

That is cool.

[Dan] Here we go.
Look at this.

Very cool.

-You like it?
-Yeah.

[Diego] This is an altar.

So, they used to do gifts

to the sun or to Mother Earth,

-mostly gold.
-[Tyler] Okay.

What would this
have been in here?

[Diego] It was important room
to have, like, offerings...

-Oh!
-[Diego] ...ornamental stuff.

Usually gold, silver.

-Also, you see that rock?
-[Parker and Dan] Yeah.

That's the intihuatana.

It's like a sun dial,

and some historians believe
that it was covered in gold.

[Dan] I mean, that's
the definition of gold fever.

God, it would have been
so cool to see this
back when it was

God, it would have been
so cool to see this
back when it was

-still the empire, you know?
-[Tyler] Yeah.

[Diego] So, this is an example
of the pottery
they used to work on.

-They were experts.
-[Dan] That's gold!

-[Diego] Yeah.
-Yeah. Very cool.

-[Tyler] So this is what
they'd make with their gold.
-[Diego] Yeah.

[Tyler] Just to imagine them
making that, like,
500 years ago

is incredible.

The Incans just had
such an impressive
knowledge of gold

and how to get it
out of the ground

and it was so important
in their culture.

They obviously knew
what they were doing.

So it's really important
that we learn from them

So it's really important
that we learn from them

and follow their journeys

and, yeah,
see where that takes us.

[Parker] The Incans
were amazing.

I've always been fascinated
by their history.

For them to have the amount
of gold that they did

meant there was a lot of gold
down here, right?

Where is it now?

That's what we're here
to find out.

Ah, the map.

[Dan] So,
what's the plan, then?

-[Diego] This is where we are.
-[Parker] Got you.

You mentioned to me
that you wanted to go
to Quince Mil.

Yeah. So I saw that
on the map.

And that's, like,
where a lot of mining,

-like, placer mining
starts to happen. Yeah.
-Uh-huh.

-like, placer mining
starts to happen. Yeah.
-Uh-huh.

Yes, absolutely.
There was a gold rush there
in the 1970s.

Got you.

So we got
our first destination.
Quince Mil.

Into the jungle we go.

That's where all the gold is.

Good stuff.
Let's get on the road.

Let's make some miles.

[narrator] The first area
Parker's identified

on his hunt for virgin ground

is the jungle
around Quince Mil,

located 150 miles away
across the Andes.

[Tyler] Oh!

-Whoa! [bleep]
-[horn blares]

[narrator] The modern-day
frontier town

is located on the edge
of the former Incan empire.

Protected by jungle tribes,

the Incas never penetrated
the surrounding rain forest

and a motherlode may still lie
hidden in the ground.

Today, small-scale operations

work the dense jungle.

This is a town square?

It's a town square.

[Dan] It's a shame we don't
have any contacts.

[Tyler] We need to
find the people
who know the ground.

Shall we find
some gold miners?

[Diego] We'll
gather information.

[speaking Spanish]

You keeping up, Dan?

She lost me at "Hola."

[Diego speaking Spanish]

-[Parker] Muchas gracias.
Buenos...
-[Diego] She just told me...

So what did she say?

[Diego] She gave me
the address.

[Parker] Oh what?

Of a bar

where, usually,
gold miners go.

Ah, got you.

So we're just gonna
go to a bar and...

-See what's up.
-...see what's going on.

-So--
-Hopefully, they haven't
started drinking too early.

-So--
-Hopefully, they haven't
started drinking too early.

[Tyler] Do many tourists
come here, Diego?

-[Diego] No.
-[Tyler] So, like,
we stand out.

-[Diego] Yes, a little bit.
-[Tyler] Yeah. Yeah.

[Diego] We should be
a little careful.

[Tyler] We do not have
a set plan for this trip,

which means this trail
is going to be us
following breadcrumbs

and us meeting a miner

who gives us another clue
or another contact.

We don't know where
we're going to end up,

which means we have to be
prepared to go anywhere.

-[Parker] Oh, yeah,
there we go.
-[Tyler] Oh, wow.

[Dan] What? This is gonna be
our first test, guys.

[Diego] They're having fun,
aren't they?

-[Tyler] Hola! Hola.
-[Dan] Wow. Straight into it.

Are we all right here?
This is okay, isn't it?

[Tyler whispering]
Do you think this is safe?

[Parker whispering] I hope so.

Shall we get a few beers?

-[Diego] Huh?
-Shall we get a beer?

-You wanna get a beer
right now?
-[Dan] Why not?

[man speaking Spanish]

[Tyler] Is he okay?

Is he okay?

-Hola. Hola.
-[locals speaking Spanish]

-[Dan] Wow.
-[Diego speaking Spanish]

They buy it with gold.

[Dan] Oh, really?

[Dan] Oh, really?

Shall we go outside?

[Dan] Yeah, let's get outside.

[Parker] Oh, and we need
four more glasses.

-Let's get outside.
-[Dan] Cool.

[Tyler chuckling] Gracias.

[Parker] Is he a gold miner?

[Diego speaking Spanish]

-[speaking Spanish]
-[Diego] Yeah,
he's a gold miner.

Can you ask him
if we can buy him a beer?

-[Diego speaking Spanish]
-Si.

-[Tyler] Salud!
-[Mario] Salud!

Salud!

-That's actually delicious.
-[Tyler] This is really good.

[speaking Spanish]

[Mario speaking Spanish]

Yeah. The best place
to find gold
is deep into the jungle.

[Parker] Is it all right if
they show us around a little?

I mean, the best thing to do
is to hire locals.

[Mario speaking Spanish]

[Diego] He knows a lot of
mining operations around.

So he drop off
a couple of names,

So he drop off
a couple of names,

like Enrique.

He's telling me that
he has his own truck

that will allow us
to get into the jungle

-where we can
meet gold miners.
-[Parker] Sweet.

-And he'll drop us there...
-[Diego] Mmm-hmm.

-[Dan] ...and there'll be
opportunities for us.
-[Mario] Si.

-[Tyler] Perfecto.
-[Dan] Perfect. Great.

[speaking Spanish]

[Diego] Tomorrow, four AM.

-[Dan] Four AM.
-[Diego] Cheers.

[Dan] Thanks ever so much
for the offer.

-Cheers.
-[Parker] I appreciate you
taking the time.

-All right.
-[Dan] Fantastico.

[Parker] What's that?

[Mario speaking Spanish]

Wow. Very cool.

-[Diego speaking Spanish]
-[Mario] Diez gramos.

-[Diego] 10 grams.
-[Tyler] 10 grams, nice!

-Good piece.
-[Dan] Very cool.

[Tyler] Diego, can you ask him
how he found that nugget?

Was he, like, panning
or was he sluicing or...

[Diego speaking Spanish]

-[speaking Spanish]
-[Dan] Were you panning, yeah?

-[Parker] Got you.
In this area? Got you.
-In this area.

[man speaking Spanish]

[Diego] We're getting
a little saucy right now.

[Parker] Yeah.
We are gonna leave.

Muchas gracias.

Muchas gracias.

-Muchas gracias.
-Hasta manana.

Muchas gracias, senor.

Ah, and so it begins.

[Tyler] All right, I guess
that's the first test done.

[Diego] A little sketchy,
yeah, but here we are,

so everything went fine.

I've never seen
a gold nugget before.

I still have a lot to learn
about gold mining,

but I'm really
excited about that.

Yeah, I wanna see more.

Yeah, I wanna see more.

[Parker] We had a wild day.
Sounds like there's some gold.

We saw a gold nugget.
That's a good sign.

And it sounds like there's
actually a lot of mining
around here, so...

It's definitely
a very rough environment,

but tomorrow, four AM,

we're heading into the wild.

[Dan] Dude, come on.

We've got, like, 20 minutes.
We're a bit late.

[Tyler] Guys, I don't know
what to pack.

I've never been to the jungle.
What do I put in this bag?

[Diego] Do you have
rehydration salts?

-You got sunscreen?
-No. No. [chuckling]

-No!
-[Diego] No? Okay.

[Parker] We're back
in the jungle.

Feels good. Haven't been here
since Guyana.

Like, it's not for
the faint of heart.
If we're going in the jungle,

we'll be there
as long as it takes.

we'll be there
as long as it takes.

[narrator] 28-year-old
Parker Schnabel is in Peru,

setting off on
a five-day-long expedition

into the remote jungle
surrounding Quince Mil.

[Dan] These are the trucks.
These are the trucks.

These are the boys
taking us, I suppose.

Is this safe?

[Dan] Hi, I'm Mario.

Como estas?

-[Parker] Buenos dias.
-Buenos dias, buenos dias.

Hola.

[narrator] Last night,
Parker hired local miner Mario

to guide his team
deep into the jungle.

to guide his team
deep into the jungle.

[horn beeps]

On his advice, they leave town
under the cover of darkness

to avoid unwanted attention.

-Okay.
-[Mario] Yeah.

-[Diego] So, we're getting
into the mining zone.
-[Tyler] Yeah.

So the road
is a little sketchy.

And if I tell you, like,
to keep your head down,

-keep your head down, okay?
-Okay.

[Mario speaking Spanish]

[narrator] Mario is
taking the team six miles

[narrator] Mario is
taking the team six miles

to meet a jungle resident

with contacts in
the local mining community.

-[Diego] Look how fast
everything changes.
-[Dan] Uh, yeah.

[bleep]

[laughing] We aren't even
at the jungle yet

and it's [bleep] super bumpy.

If it was easy, there'd be
no gold there, Dan.

-[Diego] Watch your head.
-Ooo!

[leaves rustling]

[Tyler] Oh, my [bleep].

-Oh, my [bleep].
This is mental.
-Oh, my God.

[Parker] We are definitely
getting some spiders
and snakes in this [bleep].

[car horn beeping]

-[Mario] There's a car.
-[Dan] Huh?

-[Tyler] There's what?
-Oh, there's a car there.

[Diego] Stay low.

Keep your head down.

I mean, we're not from here
and we have
a lot of stuff with us.

It's better to keep it low.

-[Mario speaking Spanish]
-[people shouting]

[bleep]

[people shouting]

[Mario speaking Spanish]

-[device beeps]
-[Mario speaking Spanish]

The good thing is
you usually don't get robbed
going into the mining area.

But, I mean,

if there's one thing
we've learned
from our time in the jungle,

there's no rules out here.

[Diego] Okay, this is where
the water starts.

[Dan] Oh, here we go. [bleep]

-[bangs]
-[Tyler screams]

What the [bleep] was that?

[Diego] Keep your
head down, guys, okay?

-[Tyler] Diego,
what the [bleep] was that?
-[Parker] That's not a gun.

-What the [bleep] is it, then?
-[Parker] I don't know
what's going on.

[Diego] We should wait here.

-[water splashes]
-[Dan shouts] Parker!

-[Parker] What?
-[Dan] Don't go.

What's up? Ooo! Slippery.

-What?
-[Mario speaking Spanish]

[Parker] What did he say?

-[Diego] The car failed.
-[Parker] Oh, [bleep].

[Dan] I hope there's no
[bleep] anacondas in here.

[Dan] I hope there's no
[bleep] anacondas in here.

-Oh, [bleep].
-[Mario] Si.

[Dan] That's [bleep].

[Parker] So what do we do now?

[Diego speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

[Diego] We go back.

He's saying the car
cannot continue

and we should go back.

I just don't wanna backtrack.

I [bleep] hate that.

So we'll just hitch a--
Uh, like, we'll just
hitchhike,

and if we don't get a ride,
then we'll walk.

Unless you think
we're gonna get lost.

[Danny] Can you ask Mario
if the path is, like,
is it very, if it just stay--

[speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

-[speaking Spanish]
-[Diego speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

I got food, clothes,

tent.

-[Danny] Let's do it.
-[Diego] Let's go.

-Catch.
-[Danny exclaims]

-[Diego] Adios, Mario.
-[Mario] Adios.

[narrator] While the film crew
help tow Mario back to town...

[Parker] Damn, the route
is down the river.

[narrator]
...Parker and the team
continue on the jungle road.

[Parker] That's why having you
on camera is so important...

[exclaims]

[Parker] ...so when
the film crew tap out,
we can keep going.

[Parker] ...so when
the film crew tap out,
we can keep going.

[Danny sighs]

Oh, [bleeping].

-[Parker] Oh! [laughs]
-[Tyler] Oh, my God.

[Danny] Jungle is bad enough
in the daylight.

-[Parker] Yeah!
-[Danny] Hang on, wait.

-[Tyler] Hang on.
-[Danny] [bleep] There is--

[Parker] What?

-[Danny] There is a massive
boulder here, hang on.
-[Tyler] You good, Dan?

Yeah, yeah. All good.

[Danny exclaims]

[Parker] There is something
soft and squishy back there.

[Danny] Yeah,
I can feel it now.

[Tyler] Yeah,
I slipped a little.

[Danny]I can feel [bleep]
knocking against my leg.

[Tyler] That's,
I don't like that.

[Parker] Um, so if this
is the speed we're gonna
go at in the dark,

I think we should just, like,
camp out up, right up here

and wait for it to get light.

and wait for it to get light.

[Danny] I think that makes
complete sense.

All right, you've got coffee,
right?

-[Diego] Yes.
-[bleep] yeah.

[Danny] Down side of the moon.

-[Danny] You all right?
-[Tyler] Yeah.

-See if we can get lost.
-Oh, for real?

That may have been a bad idea.

It felt like it was the right
one at the time.

-Thank you.
-Mmm.

-I could get some here.
-Do we know
which way we're going?

Thank you.

[Parker] Kinda.

[Diego] Ready?

-[Parker] Yeah.
-[Tyler] Yeah.

[Parker] Hmm.

-[Parker exclaims]
-Wow!

[Parker] Very slippery.

[Danny] I think
the saying is that,

"Every great adventure
begins with a step,"

"Every great adventure
begins with a step,"

so we, so we tripped.

-Good to be back there, innit?
-Yeah.

I just, every time
something like this happens
on one of these trips,

we end up wasting,
like, two days.

If we're walking,
at least we're getting
somewhere.

And somebody else will
come along and give us a ride.

Yeah.

The deeper we go
into the jungle-- Oh, look.

-[Danny] Oh, look.
-[Tyler] They're cool.

[Danny] Hey, buddies.

Are we gonna try and flag
someone down if they...

Yeah, if we see car,
we should jump in.

[Tyler] Is that safe?

[Diego] Probably safer than,
than walking in the jungle.

[Tyler] That's true.

[Danny] Look at him.

[Diego whistles]

-That's Mario.
-[Tyler] That's Mario.
[laughs]

-Oh, my God. [bleep]
-[Diego] Mario.

[Mario speaking Spanish]

[narrator]
With his truck fixed...

-[Diego speaking Spanish]
-[speaking Spanish]

[narrator] ...Mario returns
to take Parker and the team
the rest of the way.

-[speaking Spanish]
-[Mario speaking Spanish]

-[Danny speaking Spanish]
-[Mario speaking Spanish]

Where we're going now,

what kinda of thing
really spike your interest?

It's pretty basic.

I don't know
why it's so difficult for us
to find these three things,

but ground that has
a decent concentration
of gold in it,

we want a lot
of volume of that,

that's usually the hard part.

And then,
we want some way that

we can be involved in that,

investor, a miner,
or advisor, or,

you know some way that

you know some way that

we can help facilitate that
gold coming out of the ground.

-[Danny] Yeah.
-[Parker] Right?
How hard can that be?

[narrator] The Quince Mil
Jungles

are filled with
untouched pockets
of virgin ground,

and Mario has intel

that small operations
are looking for
outside investment

to help them expand.

Here is a wash plant.

Yeah, we're getting into
some gold country now.

-[Danny] It's going on a bit,
isn't it?
-[Diego] Ah.

It's getting a little
crazy now, the roads.

[Parker] I don't see
a road past here.

[Diego] Yeah, me neither.

[Tyler] Wow, where are we?

[narrator] Seven hours after
leaving Quince Mil,

the team arrived to meet
Mario's contact.

[Mario speaking Spanish]

-[Parker] Where is he going?
-[speaking Spanish]

-[Parker] Where is he going?
-[speaking Spanish]

Uh, this is a bar
and a restaurant.

-This is a bar?
-Yeah.

[narrator] Bar owner
Enrique Ramirez

is well connected

and a respected member
of the local mining community.

[speaking Spanish]

[narrator] If the team
receive his blessing,

he will spread the word that

Parker is in the area
looking to make an investment.

[speaking Spanish]

[Danny speaking Spanish]

[Danny speaking Spanish]

Danny.

-Tyler.
-Tyler.

-[speaking Spanish]
-Parker.

[Enrique speaking Spanish]

-Buenos d�as.
-Buenos d�as.

[Parker] This is a great place
to be mining?

Um, like, are people finding
a lot of gold here?

[speaking Spanish]

Around the place,
there's still a lot of,

uh, mining projects,
also machinery and, um,
big, bigger projects,

-and he himself pans
just down below there.
-[Enrique speaking Spanish]

-[Parker] Oh.
-[speaking Spanish]

[Enrique speaking Spanish]

[Enrique speaking Spanish]

[Diego in English]
Half gram a day

-by himself just panning.
-[Tyler] Just panning.

You couldn't find
half a gram of gold a day
panning where I'm from.

-[Diego] No?
-No.

How far of a walk
from where he pans
are we right now?

-[speaking Spanish]
-[Diego] two minutes.

-[Parker] Oh. Can he show us?
-[Diego speaking Spanish]

-[Enrique] S�.
-[Diego] Yeah.

-Oh, sweet.
-[Tyler] Yeah? S�?

[indistinct chatter]

[narrator] Alluvial gold
from the Andes

washes out in the rivers
and creeks

that cut through the jungle.

[Danny] Oh, wow.

This is what it's all about.

This is what it's all about.

These guys are magic
at doing this, aren't they?

Just look how quickly
he works through it.

I mean, this is pretty much
how gold got discovered

on Bonanza Creek in the Yukon.

Like, everybody knew
that there was a lot
of gold in the area

'cause they were finding it,
like,

on the sandbars
in the Yukon River
and stuff like that,

and finally some people just

run up it until they started
finding really good gold,
stake some claims,

run up it until they started
finding really good gold,
stake some claims,

and then the rush was on,
and...

-[Danny] The rest is history.
-In the--

I think in the year 1900,
they found a million ounces.

Yeah, insane.

-[Danny] Really?
-Yeah. Who knows?

I mean, for this trip
to be a success,

I really wanna find
a piece of ground that

either has lots of gold on it
or some really big gold on it.

This pan is gonna determine
how our trip goes, Parker.

[speaking Spanish]

-[Tyler] Oh, gold.
-[Diego] Ah, there is gold.

-[Danny] Yeah, there we go.
-[Parker] One, two,
three, four.

He's got one
of the three things,
like, good gold.

And now I wanna see
a bigger gold.

And now I wanna see
a bigger gold.

So do you think that
we'll be able to find

some ground around
here to mine?

S�.

[speaking Spanish]

[Diego] Uh, he mentioned
Geronimo.

[Parker] Geronimo.

[Diego] He has
a mining operation here

with potentially
a lot of gold.

And he's saying that
there is, like, virgin ground.

And he's saying that
there is, like, virgin ground.

[Parker] That's what
I like to hear.

It's located west,
west from here

on the other side
of that waterfall.

Sweet.

-Muchas gracias.
-[Tyler] Gracias.
Muchas gracias.

-To the waterfall?
-[Danny] Let's go.

Go big or go home.

[Parker] Exactly, Danny.

Go big or go home.

-You gonna grab me your stuff?
-Yeah.

[narrator] Deep
in the Peruvian jungle,

Parker and his team
set off on foot,

chasing a lead
on a jungle mine.

-[Parker] Muchas gracias.
-[Diego] Adi�s, Mario.

[narrator] Mario will return
in five days.

[Parker] Enrique just
showed us some gold

and pointed us
in the direction

where some mining
is happening.

That's good.

With cruder mining techniques,

you can actually follow
where the mining is at

by the color of the water.

Right? Because they're
discharging silt.

Looks like we're
in the right spot.

This must be our creek.

Whoa!

[narrator] Now,
at the end of the road

[narrator] Now,
at the end of the road

the crew must follow
a creek trail up and over

a treacherous mountain pass

to meet miner Geronimo.

[Parker] It's very
slippery up here.

-[Danny] Okay, yeah.
I got you.
-[Parker chuckles]

-[Parker] I almost fell right
on your [bleep] face.
-[Danny] Did you?

Hello, you're nearly
got crushed.

[exclaims]

-[Danny] You all right, Ty?
-[Tyler] Yeah, I'm good.

[bleep]. Ow!

[narrator] Peru's jungles
are one of the most

[narrator] Peru's jungles
are one of the most

bio diverse places on earth

and home to over 30 species
of venomous snakes.

-[Tyler] Oh, my [bleep].
-[Diego] Be careful.

You have to be watching
your step the whole time

and where you're putting
your hands on.

Even with the anti-venom,
your success rate is 50%.

[Danny] [bleep] snake central.

[Tyler] This is, like,
snake heaven.

[Danny exclaims]

-[Diego] You okay?
-[Danny] Yeah.

It's got to be, innit?

[Parker] It looks very
dense further.

[Parker] It looks very
dense further.

I think, um, I think there
is no trail here.

-[Danny] No?
-[Parker] No.

This is just jungle.

[Danny] Right, so look, mate,
you take this machete...

...and blaze a trail.

Whoa! What's that?

We need to get the [bleep]
out of here.

I think it's this way.

-Right?
-[Parker] Yeah.

Yeah, at some point here,
we go downhill.

[Tyler exclaims]

Coming down is definitely
harder, isn't it?

Coming down is definitely
harder, isn't it?

-[Danny] Yeah, yeah.
-[Diego] Yeah, it's harder.

Little dangerous.

-[Parker exclaims]
-Wait--

-[Parker] Whoa! Ow.
-[Tyler] Oh, my God.

-You all right?
-[Parker] Yeah.

-Rushing is just
gonna make it worse...
-[Danny] That's true.

[Parker] ...but if somebody
gets hurt right now,
we're [bleep].

-I think I see an opening.
-Yeah.

[Danny] Thank [bleep]
for that route.

A bit wider valley.

A bit wider valley.

-[Tyler] Yeah.
-Bit of mining going on,
it looks like.

-Starting to see some
tailings and stuff, hey.
-[Danny] Yeah.

[Parker] There is a roof
or something up here.

Is it okay to just walk up
to some place,

somebody's mine site here?

[Diego] I hope so.

[Parker]
There is somebody here,
the generator is running.

[Diego] Yeah.

[Parker] Hello!

[Diego] Hola.

[speaking Spanish]

[Tyler] Diego.

[Danny] Yeah, over there,
a machete.

[speaking Spanish]

-[speaking Spanish]
-[Geronimo speaking Spanish]

-Geronimo. Uh-huh.
-[Parker] Geronimo.

[Danny] Enrique sent us.

-[speaking Spanish]
-[Danny speaking Spanish]

-[Danny speaking Spanish]
-[speaking Spanish]

[Parker speaking Spanish]

-[Diego] Geronimo Roca.
-[Geronimo speaking Spanish]

-[Parker] What does that mean?
-Roca, his last name.

-[Parker] What does that mean?
-Roca, his last name.

-[Parker] Ah.
-[Danny] Roca.

[narrator] Geronimo works
alone on his five acre claim,

mining for gold
in and around the creek.

[Geronimo speaking Spanish]

He's, uh, Inca relative.

-[Tyler] Oh, really?
-[all laughing]

[Geronimo speaking Spanish]

Fourteen brothers.

[all laughing]

[Parker] Big family.

Are we in the right area
for some gold mining?

[speaking Spanish]

[Diego speaking Spanish]

[Diego speaking Spanish]

[Diego in English]
I'm asking if he have
some gold to,

-to show us.
-[Danny] Oh, wow.

-[Tyler] Oh. Cool.
-[Danny] Oh, there you go.

[Diego speaking Spanish]

He found that just
close to here, up there.

[Danny] How, how much work
is that?

[Diego speaking Spanish]

-[speaking Spanish]
-One day.

-[Tyler] Oh!
-[Danny] One day's work?

[Patrick] Wow.

No bad.

[Parker] I genuinely am
pretty interested in

[Parker] I genuinely am
pretty interested in

what Geronimo's
got going on here.

[speaking Spanish]

-[Tyler] Very clever.
-[Danny] Ah, he's got glass
in the bottom of it.

[Parker] Yeah, so you can see
gold nuggets under water.

[Tyler] That's so smart.

The area has the most
potential of anywhere
I've been before

in terms of, like,
raw exploration.

[Danny] Wow.

That's some living space.

The old, uh,
sleep with your machete.

[Parker] He actually seems
like the real deal,

knows this area really well.

Is it all right to show us
around a little?

-[Diego speaking Spanish]
-[Geronimo speaking Spanish]

-[Tyler] What is he saying?
-He's saying we have to,

to work hard
to find some gold.

That it's not gonna be easy.

Ask him when we go to work.

-[Diego] When? Okay.
-Yeah. [chuckles]

[speaking Spanish]

-[Parker] Now?
-Now.

-[Parker] Now?
-Now.

[all laughing]

We could make
a small investment
in a small operation

and help them succeed

with some sort of very
big potential project.

I'm really looking forward
to getting my teeth

into the mining here
and seeing some gold.

I much prefer having
wet feet to damp feet.

[Danny] Yeah.

[narrator] In the Peruvian
jungle,

Parker is prospecting
a small scale claim

owned by Incan descendant,
Geronimo Roca.

[parker] It seems like there's
quite a bit of potential here
to make an investment.

This ground has
a lot of creeks,

where 90% of the time
is where the gold is,

and if you can find promising
and really rich ground

and if you can find promising
and really rich ground

in a area that doesn't have
the development,

profit margin will be
way higher.

[narrator] With no machines,

Geronimo mines
his river claim by hand.

What's he looking for Diego?

-He's looking for a piece
of wood to use as a...
-[Danny] Uh-huh.

-...to cross it.
-[Danny] Ah.

[Diego] I don't know exactly
what he's trying to do.

[Danny] Cool.

[speaking Spanish]

[Danny] So what's he doing
here, Diego?

Like, is the gold
in, in that material?

Um, no. I think
he's building a riffle.

-[Diego] Rip-- Ripple?
-[Tyler] Riffle.

Oh, my gosh, check this out.

That is the maddest
looking sluice I've ever seen.

[speaking Spanish]

[Geronimo speaking Spanish]

[Diego] When I asked him
where did he learn this?

He said, "From the Incas."

[Danny] How cool is this?
We stood there watching
somebody

search for gold
in the same way
that the Incas did.

search for gold
in the same way
that the Incas did.

[narrator] The Incas
developed a method
of trapping gold in riverbeds

by stacking rock
known as Pirka.

Now, 500 years later,

Geronimo is doing
the same thing.

As the water
and gold rich material
passes over the rocks,

the flow of water is slowed

causing the heavier gold
to drop down

and be caught
in the small gaps
between the rocks.

So it's like the most

rudimentary
hydraulic mining...

...there is, basically.

Pretty rad that
we see a way of mining

that we haven't
seen before, isn't it?

[Parker] Yeah, exactly.

And this is just stuck, like,
in between the rock,

when the rain comes up,
if there is gold in this,

rain will wash it down
into his--

-See, like, he's shuffling it
through right now.
-[Danny] Uh-huh.

[Parker] And that will all
go into this,

his sluice box.

-Otherwise known as...
-[Danny] The rock box.

The rock box.

Good on, Dan.

I've never heard
of this before.

I've never heard
of this before.

-I have no idea.
-Me neither.

[Danny laughs]

This is [bleep] cool.

[Geronimo speaking Spanish]

[Diego] Yeah, we have
to move rocks.

[Parker] These ones, too?

[in English] Throw them,
we throw them.

[Diego] Throw everything,
yeah.

-Big one.
-[Danny] Yeah [laughs].

Oh, it's like watching
World's Strongest Man.

[narrator] By moving
boulders upstream,

they free
the gold baring dirt,

so it can be channeled
into the Pirka below.

[Danny] This is hard work,
innit?

Those Incans must have had
arms like [bleep] tree trunks.

Those Incans must have had
arms like [bleep] tree trunks.

[Tyler] Oh, I love the history
of gold mining.

This is where it all started.

If it wasn't for these
kinda techniques,

we wouldn't have been
able to develop ours.

Really cool.

The trap is set.

[Danny] That is amazing.
Nature's sluice box.

[speaking Spanish]

He is saying that
we could come tomorrow.

[Danny] Cool.

[Parker] It is getting
a bit late in the day.

Should we ask if we can stay?

[Diego speaking Spanish]

[Diego speaking Spanish]

[in English] Yeah, yeah,
he's find with that.

-[Parker] Oh, good.
-[Tyler] Oh. Gracias.

-[Parker] Muchas gracias.
-[Diego] Muchas gracias,
senor.

[Danny] Right,
let's get this camp up.

I kinda wanna stay behind
and do some detecting
in the creek if that's okay.

I'd rather do that.

Pretty amazing that
these dudes are living
out here like this.

-Yeah, it's wild, huh?
-Ah.

[device beeping]

All right, there's signal
under this rock,

so I'm just gonna get
some of these...

so I'm just gonna get
some of these...

...smaller rocks and clay
out of the way.

Here, prospecting is gonna
play a really big role.

These miners
are gonna be the ones

who're giving us the clues on

how to raid the ground
and how the area operate.

Just want to find
good ground for Parker.

Grab big handfuls.
Like that, yeah.
There you go.

He really trust me,

and I want to make sure that

I am not letting
the team down.

Ah, [bleep].

[device beeping]

[device beeping]

[Tyler] Metal.

We'll find some gold.
Don't worry.

[device beeping]

[Tyler] Dig a little bit
more in there.

-Oh.
-[device beeping]

That's a signal.

Oh, my [bleep]. [bleeping]

That's gold, Oh, my [bleep].
[laughs] High five.

That's so cool.

[Tyler] Diego, your first bit
of gold you've ever found.

[Diego] It's heavy.

Yeah, well, it's probably
like half a gram.

Hello.

Hello.

-[Danny] Hurrah!
-[Diego] Hi, guys.

-[Tyler] Hello, hello.
-[Danny] They return.

[Parker] Find anything?

We had a couple of signals.

-Couple of signals.
-First time was big
bit of rubbish,

-and then look what he got.
-[Danny laughs]

Got a bit of gold.

You did not get
a bit of [bleep] gold.
No, you didn't!

-[Tyler] Danny, I got--
-Are you serious?

That is amazing.
Well done, guys.

So you can have that,
Geronimo, that's yours.

-[Diego speaking Spanish]
-it's a good start.

That is a great start.

[Parker] I can't find.

We'll find out tomorrow
what kind of gold is here.

[Danny] How did you sleep?

-[Tyler] I slept well.
How did you sleep, Dan?
-You sleep good?

-[Tyler] Mmm-hmm.
-[Danny] I slept fantastic.

I did get up in the middle
of the night to go
to the toilet,

I was a bit worried
about snakes.

-[Danny] Oh, did you?
-[Tyler] I didn't die.

-Didn't die, so that's good.
-[chuckles]

[narrator] In the remote
jungles of Peru...

-[Parker] Here comes Geronimo.
-[Tyler] Buenos dias.

[Danny] There he is.

-[Diego in Spanish]
-[in Spanish]

-[Diego in English] Yeah?
-[Danny] Yeah, man.
Let's do it!

-[Diego in English] Yeah?
-[Danny] Yeah, man.
Let's do it!

[narrator] Parker and the team
return to check the stone
sluice, known as a pirka,

to decide if Geronimo's claim
is worth more exploration
and potential investment.

We wanna try moving
all the rocks. And then
we'll start panning.

This is a whole different
world. The-- Operating
like this.

Really interesting.

[narrator] If there's gold
in the ground, it should
be caught between the rocks.

[Diego] As you can see,
there's-- The sack is there.

[Parker] There's your bucket
of concentrate.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Parker] No gold.

-[tense music playing]
-Ah. No [speaking Spanish].

That's a damn shame.

[speaking Spanish]

Before people came here,

it was easier to find gold.

[Parker] Has this all
been mined before?

[Diego in Spanish]

[in Spanish]

[Diego in English]
Six months ago.

[tense music playing]

[Parker] And we're too late.

-[Diego] So close.
-Wow.

-[Diego] So close.
-Wow.

[Danny] Oh, man.
That's a shame.

[Parker] Bummer.

No bueno.

Find out where they moved to,
'cause that's where we need
to go next.

[Diego speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

[Diego in English] He gave
us a name of a...
A gold miner called Enrique.

[Diego in English] He gave
us a name of a...
A gold miner called Enrique.

Because he has
an operation that way.

-[Parker] A bigger operation.
-A bigger operation
with machineries and...

-You know?
-Gotcha.

[Danny] So Peru
appears to be the land
of many Enriques.

[narrator] Geronimo suggests
they visit a larger operation
two miles north.

-[speaking Spanish]
-[Diego speaking Spanish]

-[in Spanish]
-[Diego in English] There's...
There's no road.

So the only way
to get there is by foot.

Yeah. And we'll have
to cross the river.

-But I think we could
go there.
-Yeah.

-[Diego] To try to find him.
-Yeah.

All right. We're looking
for the bigger operation.

All right. We're looking
for the bigger operation.

So it sounds like
that's Enrique.

-[Diego] Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
-Okay.

-We should get out of here
and go there.
-[Diego] Yeah, yeah.

[Parker] Muchas gracias.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Parker] It's interesting.
Like what we just saw today.

You know, I've...
I've actually never
seen anybody mining like that.

Like, that's... as...

ancient as it gets.

But, um... You know...

I wanna see unexplored,
untouched ground.

And...

...lots of gold.

You know, when we do
these trails, you can't expect
everything on Day 1.

And we're, like,
two days into the trip.

There is definitely,
definitely gold in the ground.
We're in the right place.

We just need to find
the right right place.

Let's see what "Enrique 2"
has got to offer us.

Let's get on the move, guys.

[dynamic music playing]

[narrator] From Geronimo's
camp, the team begin
their 2-mile hike

[narrator] From Geronimo's
camp, the team begin
their 2-mile hike

through the jungle.

But with only five hours
until sundown, they need
to move fast.

[intense music playing]

What?

[Tyler] Oh, my [bleep].

-[Parker] Mmm.
-Geronimo said...

"You're gonna have
to cross the river,"
didn't he?

"You're gonna have
to cross the river,"
didn't he?

-[bleep] He did.
-[Parker] Yeah, but I don't
really wanna go across

that thing.

-No...
-[Danny] What you reckon?

How deep do you reckon
it is out there?

[Diego] Be careful.

-[Tyler] Parker.
-[Danny] Careful, mate,
'cause that...

Problem is...
Look where the current goes.

-[Danny] Yeah. Rapids.
-[tense music playing]

No, it's gonna be
so [bleep] deep.

If you walk out,
you'll get in the current.

But if you don't make it
to those rocks,
you end up down there.

But if you don't make it
to those rocks,
you end up down there.

[Diego] So, I mean...
Doesn't look like
a good idea right now.

There's a... [speaking
Spanish] This thing.
[speaking Spanish]

[Parker in English] Look...
You wanna get on that
[bleep] thing?

[Danny chuckles] I mean...

I don't really see
what other option we have.

But let's go
and have another look at it.
Let's see how well it's made.

Let's pull it in.

[Diego] What do you think?

[Parker] Like,
I'm not worried
about the cable.

I'm worried about the car.

[Diego] We're gonna use
two lines.

[Diego] We're gonna use
two lines.

One to the cable
and one to the cage.

If something goes wrong,
the person in the cage
has to have enough rope

to, like, get down.

Dan, do you have stuff
to harness us in?

Yeah, we got...
stuff to harness in.

-[Danny] Do you wanna
go first?
-[Diego] I can go...

[Danny] Diego...
Diego will go in first.
One at a time, I think.

All righty.

Whoo! Diego, you ready?

-[Diego] Yeah, excited.
-Good.

Okay.

[tense music playing]

[Danny] Nice and easy,
nice and easy!

But if we lose you, Diego,
we're in trouble.

-[Tyler] Don't die.
-[Danny] Then we got
no one to look after us.

My background
is health and safety.

And we're gonna be
facing a lot of...

hard situation,
hard environment
from the jungle.

So it's important for me
to just remain sharp and calm.

[Danny] Go on, Diego.
Get those arms going.

-[Danny] Made it.
-[Parker] Yeah, buddy!

Very cool.

Here it comes.

Pull it back.

Look at this board!

Here you go.

-You ready?
-[Parker] Yep!

[Danny chuckling]

Whoa, whoa, whoa...
Let him out slow,
let him out slow.

No, no, don't stop it!
[bleep] stop!

No, no, don't stop it!
[bleep] stop!

[Danny] I mean,
I know I've always said
I wanna kill him, but...

[Tyler laughs]

[dramatic music playing]

[Parker] Uh-oh.

-[grunts]
-[Danny] Oh, yeah.
Is he all right?

[Tyler] Is he stuck?

[Parker] The ropes
are tangled.

[Diego] There's a knot
in the rope system over there.

[Parker] Oh, no.

[Diego] Pull, Parker, pull!

[Danny] Come on, Schnabel.

[Parker] There we go.

A-ha! Nice!

-Yeah. [chuckles]
-[Parker grunts] Uphill.

[exclaims in relief]

[exclaims in relief]

[exhaling] Made it.

[breathing hard] Oh,
my [bleep].

[Danny] Better get
on the hurry up here, eh?

-[Tyler] Yeah.
-[Danny] Rapidly
losing light.

We both need to get across.

[Danny] What,
two of us at a time?

I mean...

We don't wanna
be doing this in the dark,
really, do we?

[Tyler] No,
that doesn't sound
safe at all.

Our only concern
is whether that cable

takes your and I's weight.

The other option is that
we split during the night.

The night-- We don't have
any daylight left.

-And we can't do that.
-We can't be...
We can't be split.

Let's get in.

-[Danny] You good?
-[Tyler] I'm good.
Yep. Let's do it.

[tense music playing]

[Tyler] That is some really
[bleep] quick moving water.

[exclaims] Dan,
this wood... [bleep]

Keep pulling!

[bleeping]

[Danny] Camera's died,
so film it!

[Parker] We're pulling you in!

[Danny] No, no, get us!
'Cause there's no footage--

[Parker] Pull yourself in!

[Parker] Pull yourself in!

-[Danny] We can't!
-[Parker] Why not?

[Danny] 'Cause
we'll [bleep] ourselves!

[Parker] Well,
do you want us to film

or do you want us
to pull you in?

[Danny] Okay-- All right,
put the camera down then.

Put the camera down, then.
Fair enough. Fair enough.
Fair enough.

-Fair enough.
-[bleeping]

[Danny]...[bleep] scary.
[bleep] hell.

[Tyler exclaiming]
That got my heart going.

Only [bleep] Dan
would scream at us
to film him

while we're [bleep]
pulling him across a...
The [bleep] river.

-[Danny] Beautiful.
Well done, guys.
-[Tyler] Good work, team.

Let's go.

[Parker] Happy?

-[Danny] Set up camp here?
-[Tyler] Yep.

I've no idea
whether we're on the right...

path or not.

We hiked through
lots of jungle.

Now we're camping
in the middle of nowhere.

Hopefully we actually
find this dude Enrique

and hopefully
he actually has a mine site.

[suspenseful music playing]

[intense music playing]

[Danny] Look at all
the banana trees
and everything.

-[Tyler] Looks cool, hey?
-No... There's banana
trees, there's banana spiders.

[Danny] That's true.

-[chuckles]
-[Parker] Are they bad?

-[Diego] They're
extremely dangerous.
-[Parker] Really?

-Yeah.
-[Tyler] Why are
they dangerous?

-Will they kill you?
-Yeah, they will kill... Yeah.

[Tyler] Oh... [bleep]

Yeah. They attack you
with a banana.

-[laughing] Like a machete.
-[Danny] Yeah.

[narrator] Parker
is on the hunt
for rich virgin ground

[narrator] Parker
is on the hunt
for rich virgin ground

to expand his mining empire.

[Parker] Think we're
in the right place. We just
need to get even further

off the beaten track.

And I think that
we're on the scent of that,
for sure.

[narrator] After striking out
with one-man-operation
Geronimo...

they're searching
for local miner Enrique,

hoping to find
a much bigger operation.

-[Danny] This has opened
out a bit.
-[Tyler] Oh, wow.

[Parker] I see a mine site,
but I don't see Enrique.

[Parker] I see a mine site,
but I don't see Enrique.

[intense music playing]

Looks like something
Beets would use.

[Parker laughs]

[Danny] Look...

-Big old hull.
-That's probably just somebody

swinging with
an excavator feeding.

-You've probably done
that yourself.
-I've seen that before.

[Danny] You probably
done that yourself
couple of times.

-I wasn't gonna say that.
-[Danny chuckling]

[tense music playing]

[Danny] Someone's coming.

[Tyler] Diego, there's a car.

[Danny] It's a dead end, this.

Diego!

-[Danny] Buenos dias.
-Buenos dias.

-[Parker] Hola.
-[man] Hola.

-[Parker] Hola.
-[man] Hola.

[Parker] Buenos dias.

[Danny speaking Spanish]

-Enrique.
-[Danny] Enrique.
[exclaims] Enrique!

[in Spanish]

[in Spanish]

[in English] He used
to mine here.

But not anymore.
Now he's... He's mining
other place.

Does he have machines
where he's mining now,
or is it just by hand?

Does he have machines
where he's mining now,
or is it just by hand?

[Diego] He has an excavator.
He has machinery there.

-[Parker] Oh, sweet.
-[Diego] Yeah.

Can we come check it out?

[Diego and Enrique
conversing in Spanish]

[in English] Yeah,
he's fine with that. Yeah.

Let's go!

[bleeping]

[Parker exclaiming]

-[Danny] This is--
-We're getting
a little crazy now.

[Danny exclaims in pain]
[bleeping]

[Diego] Are you okay? Oh, man!

[Tyler] Oh, [bleep].

[bleep] me,
I'm glad that wasn't
my eyeball, man.

[bleep] me,
I'm glad that wasn't
my eyeball, man.

[Tyler] Oh, [bleep].

[Diego] Is your eye okay?
You feel something
in your eye?

My eye is fine, yeah.

[Parker] First blood.

Rambo.

[tense music playing]

So, we were looking
at that wash plant at...
Up here, at Enrique's.

And could've been,
like... smashed up.

Yeah.

What would that have been?

I... [stammers]
I didn't want to ask him,
you know? But...

Yeah, it seemed
a little weird. Like--

[Diego chuckles] Yeah,
but it-- It seemed
weird, right?

[Diego chuckles] Yeah,
but it-- It seemed
weird, right?

[Parker] Yeah.
Could've been,
like, illegal miners...

-[laughing] Or...
You're a pissed off operator.
-[Diego] Right?

Or a bad operator.

[Danny] Or a drunk operator.
I mean, that's, um...

That's... That's mining,
isn't it?

-That's not a...
-I mean...

-That's not a Peruvian thing.
-[laughing] Yeah, no, no.

-[Danny] That's... That's--
-I was just gonna say...

-[Danny] That's just mining.
-[Parker] Driving around
the Yukon, there's lots

of wash plants
that look like that too.

-[Diego] Really?
-Yeah.

-[Diego in Spanish]
-[Enrique in Spanish]

-[Diego] Yeah.
-About time!

-[Diego] Yeah.
-About time!

-[Parker] What?
-My ass has been...

battered into next week.

This looks more like it.

[narrator] Nestled
in a tight valley,

Enrique's 247-acre
virgin claim is sitting
on an ancient river bed.

And holds potential
for gold-rich deposits
yet to be unearthed.

An opportunity for Parker.

-This way?
-[Diego] Uh, down there.
For the panning.

[narrator] The team arrive
as Enrique's crew pan

the previous
shift's concentrate.

[Diego in Spanish]

[Enrique in Spanish]

[in English] Yeah, they do
this since they were kids.

-[Tyler] And are they
all family?
-[Diego] Yeah.

All of them are family.
It's a family operation.

[Enrique in Spanish]

That reminds me of home.
Reminds of my...
Me and my family.

[narrator] Third-generation
gold miner Enrique

[narrator] Third-generation
gold miner Enrique

runs the operation
with his brothers and sister.

Their family have mined
the area for over 50 years

and are one of the largest
operations surrounding
Quince Mil.

[Tyler] Oh, look
at that color! That's good.

[Danny] Oh, yeah.

[in Spanish]

[Diego in English] They used
to gold mine... Only panning.

But now,
they have an excavator.

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

Wow.

It's pretty good to see.

[Parker] But yeah, it's good
to know that we're in
the right area, you know.

Where there's...
some gold. There's usually
lots more, in my experience.

-Can you show us
the operation?
-[Enrique exclaims] Si.

[Danny] Oh, here we go.

Our first proper bit
of machinery.

[Parker] How long
have you been mining here?

[Enrique speaking in Spanish]

-[in English] One month.
-[Parker] Oh.

-How's it been going?
-[speaking in Spanish]

-How's it been going?
-[speaking in Spanish]

[Diego in English] 20-30 grams
a day?

-Like 1 ounce a day?
-Okay.

-Oh, wow.
-[Tyler] Wow.

-[Parker] Chunky!
-[Diego speaking Spanish]

-[Parker repeating in Spanish]
-[speaking Spanish]

-[in English] Like,
the flakes.
-[Parker] Right.

[Diego] They...
They call them...
[speaking Spanish]

[Parker in English] I guess
the next question is...

We might be interested in
it and being able to task.

[Enrique speaking Spanish]

[in English] You wanna...
Uh, run the... machine?

-[Parker] If it's all right
with him.
-Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Diego! You gonna have a go?

-I'm gonna wash it.
-Nice.

[in Spanish]

[Enrique in Spanish]

Just hope that I don't hit
that and throw you off
the bank!

Please don't! [chuckling]

[Danny exclaiming]

[exclaims] There we go.

Just like that, we're mining.

[narrator] The excavator
loads the pay onto
the 20-yard-an-hour plant.

1,100 gallons
a minute of water,

blasted from the handheld
monitor, breaks down
the material.

As it passes over
a series of bamboo screens,

the finer materials fall
through into
the sluices below,

the finer materials fall
through into
the sluices below,

where the gold concentrate
is caught in a series
of riffles.

[Enrique in Spanish]

[Danny in English] Diego!
Control your hose, man!

[Enrique in Spanish]

[Tyler] Isn't the gold
hard to mine?

Like, is the ground
deep or is it pretty much
from the surface to bedrock?

[woman speaking Spanish]

[in Spanish]

[in English] Would you ever
be interested in a partnership

or, um, working with
outside investment
or anything like that?

or, um, working with
outside investment
or anything like that?

Is that something
you're open to?

[in Spanish]

[in English] Yeah,
that makes sense.

Si.

[dramatic music playing]

Yeah. So far, this is good.

They're doing the same
exact thing that we do
in the Yukon,

with the tools that they have
to do them with.

We've only been in the country
a few days, and...

We're in a mine site
in the middle of nowhere
in the middle of the jungle.

So that's pretty cool.

These are the kind
of operations that...

I'm interested in.

You know,
I'm kind of excited about it.

[Tyler] Hola.

[Danny] Como estas?
Friendly face.

[Danny] Goodness me.

Nice-looking gold.

[Danny] Wait for us, Parker.

[Danny] Wait for us, Parker.

[Tyler exclaims]

[Tyler gasping]

[Tyler] Parker!

[Danny] Where the [bleep]
is Parker?

[intense music playing]

I feel like the really lame
version of Indiana Jones
right now.

We got to Quince Mil,
and it's just been
a journey of, like...

Hiking and random trucks
and hitchhiking, and...

Ziplines...

[narrator] Off-grid in Peru...

[Parker] I actually have
absolutely no idea
where we are.

Like, if you gave me
a map of South America
right now...

Like, if you gave me
a map of South America
right now...

About the only thing
I can get right is...

Is the country we're in.

[narrator] On the hunt
for untapped ground,

Parker has secured
an opportunity

to test miner
Enrique's remote claim.

[Parker] He's just given us
permission to go prospect
on their virgin leases.

And... there is massive
opportunity here.

Enrique... You know,
he says he's finding,
like, an ounce a day.

It's pretty lean,
but it looks like
there's no stripping.

Obviously, no permafrost.
Probably quite the opposite.

Obviously, no permafrost.
Probably quite the opposite.

In the Yukon, we have
permafrost. In the jungle,
they have the rain.

And it must just, like...
This stuff must just...
It's soup right now.

You know, permafrost is...

Is pretty terrible
to deal with, but...

The rain here is probably...

Just as bad, if not worse.

They're losing a lot of gold
because there's just chunks
of clay falling straight off

the grizzlies
into the tailings pile.

Like... Normally, you have
a shaker deck or trommel
to break up the clay

Like... Normally, you have
a shaker deck or trommel
to break up the clay

and release all the fine gold.

But all the fine gold
that's trapped in the clay

is not getting released,
so it's just going straight
into the tailings pile.

-Oh, look at that there.
-[Tyler] Yeah, see?

The recovery rate
is not very good.

Obviously, they're gonna
assume there's gonna be
more gold than they're finding

because it's the machine.

-[Diego speaking Spanish]
-Looks like
we're shutting down.

I wonder if he ever imagined
he'd be sitting on a wash
plant, washing rocks

a month ago. [laughs]

Bit different
from a heart surgeon.

Good job, Diego.

[Parker]
You're a gold miner now.

-[Diego laughs]
-Did you have fun?

-Yeah, it was fun. Yeah.
-Yeah? Good job.

It was like playing.

-[Dan] Yeah, well done, mate.
-[both laugh]

[narrator] After running
100 yards of dirt,

Parker and the team
help with the clean-up.

[Parker] So, they're
just gonna, like,

concentrate the material down

in the sluice box
with a little bit of water.

[Dan] Right.

[Parker] And he's just gonna
wash it in the mat.

You know, just gonna...
The gold will stay

You know, just gonna...
The gold will stay

if they just massage it
with their hands.

The gold will sink down,
and they're just, like,

doing it by hand.

My grandpa's mine
in season one of Gold Rush,

we still had it, like,

where you massaged it in
by hand every day,

and came up with this, like,

one pan of concentrate
just like this.

Yeah.

[Dan] Oh, were you doing it?

Mmm... I never did it.

John didn't trust you
at that point.

I was 14.

[Dan] There it is.

Oh, wow, that's a good bit.

Oh, wow, that's a good bit.

-It's not bad at all, is it?
-They're bloody good.

They're quite chunky bits.

-[Dan] Loads of it.
-[Diego] Yeah, all...

[Dan] Whoa, this is
looking good, isn't it?

Oh, this is brilliant.

One bit after another.

It's great.

Se ve bien, muchachos.

[chuckling]

That pot's getting too heavy
for him to hold.

[both laughing]

[Enrique speaking Spanish]

[narrator] After the visible
gold flakes are picked out,

a plastic sheet is used
to collect the finds

and remove any excess water
from the concentrate.

-[speaking Spanish]
-[Diego] Gold dust.

Do they...
Is it mostly bigger chunks

that they find here,
like we saw?

[Diego translating]

The bigger ones
are more common, yes.

Oh, [bleep].

Oh, [bleep].

[Dan] Look at that.

Now we're talking.

[speaking Spanish]

[laughter]

Whoa.

Big old flakes
as well, look. Everywhere.

I never imagined that gold
would be just everywhere.

'Rique, does he sleep
with his pot under his pillow?

[laughter]

Hey. He didn't get it.

Hey. He didn't get it.

[Dan] That was a fun clean-up.

[Tyler] That was
really interesting.

-[Dan] That was good
to watch, wasn't it?
-[Tyler] Yeah.

It's more exciting
than the finds

that we clean up
in the Yukon, hey?

[Dan] Sometimes you just
don't know, do you?

[Tyler] You just don't see it.

Yeah, first time, like,
in a big operation

with excavators and a chute.

Like, the wash platform.

So, yeah, it was fun.

I don't wanna get
the gold fever now.

[laughs]

[Parker] Seems like
a really nice, like,

family operation, you know?

family operation, you know?

But I do wonder
if it could be scaled up.

It's a tight little valley,
sort of.

And you can see that
they are working

these higher-level terraces,
right? Like...

There must be an elevation
here where that...

You know, there's
an old creek bed running.

Big boulders.

Like, definitely
difficult mining.

Tomorrow we're gonna
kinda see the process

and learn what he's up to.

I'm looking forward to
learning more.

[narrator] With the first day
of mining complete,

[narrator] With the first day
of mining complete,

Enrique invites the team
to spend the night

and return
for more mining tomorrow.

Hello. Buenas noches.

-[Parker] C�mo est�s?
-[Enrique] Bien, bien.

-Gracias.
-Gracias.

[Dan] Oh, look.

-[Diego whistles]
-[Tyler] Oh!

[Dan] Oh, [bleep].

-Oh, no!
-Come on!

-I liked him!
-[Dan] Too much.

Oh, my... It's the best
mining camp ever.

[Dan] That's the gold.

[Parker] It's a nice spot.

-Proper middle of nowhere.
-Yeah.

[Parker] My grandpa
would have loved this.

It's unreal.

-I love places like this.
-[Tyler] Absolutely.

I like how it's a family
mining operation.

[Dan] Mmm.

How you feeling
about it, Parker? Are you...

Feel like
you're in the right place?

Yeah.

Think so.

I don't know.
Tomorrow will tell.

I'm looking forward to having
a good chat with Enrique

and kinda figuring out,

you know, what his vision
for it is, if he has one.

[Dan] Mmm, mmm, mmm.

-[Tyler] I had a bit of a chat
to him today.
-Hmm.

-[Tyler] I had a bit of a chat
to him today.
-Hmm.

He said, um,
that he'd be open to

outside investment,
things like that,

to try and make
the operation a bit bigger,

'cause he doesn't really have
the means at the moment.

You noticed something,
actually, today, didn't you,

when you first fired up
that wash plant?

There was a lot of clay
falling off into the tailing,

so obviously, like,
the, um, recovery rate

-is not ideal.
-[Dan] Yeah.

-Mmm.
-So I suppose,

fair to say
whatever we do see tomorrow,

we can sort of
rest assure that

whatever it is, there's
probably a fair bit more.

Recovery rate can obviously,
yeah, be increased.

Recovery rate can obviously,
yeah, be increased.

[Parker] You know,
tomorrow we're gonna learn
what he's up to

and see if, you know,

he wants to scale up,
or needs some equipment.

[Tyler] Definitely.

Are you seeing stuff that

you weren't expecting
to see, Diego?

This is getting
better and better, so...

-[Tyler] Yeah.
-Yeah. I'm excited.

[Dan]
You're an indispensable part

of the team already, Diego.

We would not
be doing very well

on the, eh...

-on the language front.
-[Tyler] You know what I love?

When Danny speaks Spanish
so confidently to the locals,

and then the locals look
at Diego for a translation.

and then the locals look
at Diego for a translation.

[both laugh]

You looked like a pro up there

with the donkey [bleep]
in your hands.

[Dan laughs]

[Diego] Well, I'm used to,
you know...

-[Tyler] Oh...
-[laughs]

As the start of the trail goes
this is pretty good.

[Tyler] I think
we're on the right path.

Find out tomorrow
what kind of gold's here.

[Tyler] I'm excited to see
what tomorrow brings.

[Parker] Night, guys.

-[Dan] Night, P.
-Night.

-[Tyler] Good night.
-[Dan] Hi, puppy!

[thunder rumbling]

[bleep]

Can't believe it.
It's just so loud.

Well, we're in Enrique's camp,
and, uh,

poured with rain all night.

So, erm, being this far out

So, erm, being this far out

into the jungle
is quite committing.

'Cause if those rivers
start to swell,

erm, then it's more tricky
to get out.

[Tyler] A little concerned
about the rain, to be honest.

I was a little bit worried
about going in
a muddy mine site.

And this weather as well,
it's so dangerous.

Like, we've had so much rain,
and, um, yeah,

I'd be worried about
someone getting hurt
or something going wrong.

The film crew are in town.

It was just us
out here last night.

So we're kind of stuck
out here,

So we're kind of stuck
out here,

which is a bit concerning.

[narrator] With mine owner
Enrique Reyna

also staying in town...

[Diego speaking Spanish]

[narrator] ...Diego calls him

for an update
on the weather conditions.

[speaking Spanish]

-Hey, guys.
-[Dan] What's happening,
Diego?

[Diego] So, I just spoke
with Enrique,

and the river level
is going up,

so we will have to
make our way out.

What about our clean-up?

What about our clean-up?

He's fine with going in town
to show us the gold.

-He can show us
how much gold he has.
-Okay.

The crew's having trouble
to get here.

So extraction is not
gonna be possible for us.

So we will have to find
the rest of the crew
in the middle

and just go back together
with them.

Well, let's see
if we can get to town.

Let's, uh...

prepare ourselves for a little
bit of misery, shall we?

prepare ourselves for a little
bit of misery, shall we?

Yeah.

[narrator] Parker and team
hitch a ride

with Enrique's family,

hoping to reach the film crew,

who are headed out
to meet them from town.

[Diego] We gonna walk here?

[Dan] We're gonna... I think
he wants us to get out

-and just walk
this bit of the river.
-[Tyler] Yeah.

The truck is having trouble
so we're gonna start walking,

and see if they can
catch us up.

Just love that feeling
of water starting

to work its way
into my nethers.

[narrator] Heavy rain
has swollen the rivers,

making it impassable for
the miner's trucks to cross.

The team must continue
on foot,

or risk being stranded
in the jungle for days.

[Dan] Wait for us, Parker.

[Parker] Yeah, it's good
to cross over here.

[Dan] See, he's okay.
Let him go.

Current's really strong. Oh!

There's a huge boulder
just there.

Ah!

[bleep] hell.

Right.

Oh, [bleep].

-You all right?
-Whoo, hang on,
just wait a second. [bleep].

I don't feel
confident completely.

-Yeah. Yeah.
-'Cause that scared
the [bleep] out of me.

-[Diego] You okay?
-[Dan] Yeah.

-I'm going in the middle.
-Yeah.

-Step by step, really slowly.
-Roger.

-Let's go.
-[Dan] Okay.

You all right, Ty?

You all right, Ty?

-Yeah, you see?
See, that's it.
-[bleep]

There's the crew.

-Okay, we're good now.
-[Tyler sighing]

[Tyler] Ah, hello!

Thank [bleep] you're here.

Parker! Where the [bleep]
is Parker?

Got it.
[sighs loudly with relief]

-Thank [bleep].
-[radio beeps]

This is Diego, do you copy?

[on radio] Yeah, I copy.

Do we actually know
where Parker is?

That's a negative, Diego.

We're trying to find out
right now.

Oh, [bleep].

[Tyler] I know
Parker is independent,

but we just need
to stay together.

Like, we're out in the jungle.

Anything can go wrong
at any moment.

Anything can go wrong
at any moment.

[Peter on radio] I'm gonna get
the drone up

to see if we can find Parker.

[narrator] With Parker
missing in the flood,

the film crew use
every resource they have

to try to locate him.

[Dan] Any sign
of him yet, Robin?

No, can't see him.

[John] Yeah, think we're
just about out of range.

That's about as far
as I can go.

Can't see him at all.

Can't see him at all.

Come back sideways
along there.

[Robin] Um, is it ready to go,
this vehicle?

Well, John can carry on
looking if we jump in.

So, uh, well, we've gone
500 meters along the trail.

Still can't find him. Um...

He's got
a bright red jacket on,

so we'd see him easy enough.

But, um...
So he must be at least...

Well, he must be further than
500 meters in front of us,

or taken a wrong turn.

[Tyler] Parker?

[Dan] Parker?

[Tyler] Can't find him.
John can't find him.

[radio beeps]

This is Diego, do you copy?

[Peter] Copy, copy.

We didn't see him
as we came down that trail.

There's another trail
to the left.

You guys head off that way.

See if you can find him.

-[radio beeps]
-Radio that, thank you.

[Dan] Yeah, let's keep
our eyes peeled.

[Tyler] So he's gone
the wrong way, then.

[Tyler] So he's gone
the wrong way, then.

[bleep]

This is seriously deep.

Hope Parker didn't cross
this river without us.

[Tyler] That's not good.

[Dan] Little bit worried
about that.

I can see him.

Stop!

[shouts] Are you
all right, Parker?

I thought I was spending
the night over here alone.

[Dan] Oh, my [bleep].

-Are you all right?
-[Parker] Oh, man.

There was a fork in the road,
and I was like,

"[bleep], if I go
the wrong way..."

[Tyler] Can you imagine
if one of us gets stuck here?

[Diego] We need
to stay together.

-Yeah.
-[Tyler] You're not
the only person here.

It impacts more than just you.

[Dan] We had the drone
up looking for you.

[Parker] I'm sorry
that happened.

That was [bleep] dumb.

We were just a bit [bleep]
worried about you, that's all.

Don't worry about me.

[Dan] I know, I know.
You're, erm...

[Dan] I know, I know.
You're, erm...

You're amazing.

[laughs]

You don't say it
often enough, Dan.

I keep telling you.

-[laughs]
-[Parker] Let's go.

[Tyler] Parker often does
things like this.

He's very independent.

But that
could have been, like,

a really serious situation
really quickly.

[Dan] It was very clear that

we needed to get
the heck out of there

as fast as possible.

You know,
the jungle is a very,
very unforgiving place.

You have to have massive
amounts of respect for it.

If you don't, then it can
kick you where it hurts.

If you don't, then it can
kick you where it hurts.

Losing Parker,

yeah, it was, erm,
not the easiest...

journey that we've ever had.

But, erm, we made it out,

and, uh, ready to fight
another day.

We're back.

Wow.

That was a lot of jungle.

I need a beer.

[Dan] Same here.

I thought we were gonna be
stuck out there for...

who knows how long.

Whoa.

Feels so good
to be in clean clothes.

Gotta take a shower.

Finally.

-Check myself for ticks.
-[Dan chuckles]

[narrator] The team
head to Enrique's home...

[Tyler] Hello!

[Tyler] Hello!

A friendly face. [chuckles]

C�mo est�s?

[narrator] ...to see
the results

of yesterday's 100-yard run.

[speaking Spanish]

[Dan] Goodness me.

That looks pretty good.

Nice-looking gold.

They're all, like,
flat and thin.

Looks like a lot.

[Dan] What'd you reckon, Ty?

-Hard to tell?
-Hard to tell.

Hard to tell.

Uh...

-40 grams.
-[Dan] 40 grams?

[Tyler] Yeah.

Thirty-six.

[Dan] What does Enrique
think it is?

[speaking Spanish]

-[Diego] Forty.
-[Tyler] Ay...

That's his guess.

-Great minds think alike.
-[both chuckle]

-Great minds think alike.
-[both chuckle]

-Fifty.
-[Diego] Fifty?

-[chuckles]
-[Tyler] What's yours?

I'm just cheating,
'cause I'm gonna guess...

You've made all the guesses,
I'm just gonna get...

-[stuttering] Forty-five.
-[Tyler] Forty-five?

[all laugh]

[narrator] With 100 yards run,

Parker must see
at least one ounce of gold

on the scales

to consider Enrique's ground
a viable option.

[Tyler] Oh, get [bleep].

[Dan] Oh, my [bleep]!

Are you serious?

[all laugh]

50 grams.

You gotta be pleased
with that, man.

-One and two-thirds ounces?
-Yeah.

[narrator] At 1.7 ounces,

the gold is worth $2,800.

[Parker]
That's impressive gold.

[Tyler]
That's pretty rich ground.

Muy bien.

[Diego and Enrique
speaking Spanish]

Can you ask
what the purity is?

[speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

He said it's 23.9 karats.

-Yeah, 95%-ish.
-Oh, wow.

Yeah, ours was only 83.

It makes a big difference.

You know,
makes a huge difference.

I wish we had more time.

-[Dan] Mmm.
-But that rain

-kinda screwed everything up.
-Yeah.

It's definitely
a very good option for us.

Like, great to see
in this area.

I don't know,
what do you guys reckon?

I don't know,
what do you guys reckon?

You wanna go back there, or...

I don't think we really got
to see its full potential.

What do you think?

I mean, I wanna go deeper
into the jungle, personally.

-But that's just me.
-Mmm.

And it all comes back to
kind of that, like,

if you're actually trying
to find ground

that's way better than
we're currently mining,

we should try to push
further into the jungle.

In an area that doesn't have
a development,

like, profit margin
will be way higher.

-Yeah.
-We're just tickling
the surface right now.

-Yeah.
-We're just tickling
the surface right now.

Ask Enrique
if there's more gold

deeper in the jungle.

[speaking Spanish]

[Diego] Yeah,
deeper into jungle,

-we could find more gold.
-Gotcha.

Think that's exactly
where we wanna go.

That all right with you?

I'm following you guys.

You're the one that has to
keep us alive
in there, though.

Yeah, I'm gonna follow
you guys anyway, so...

that's okay.

Think we have
our answer, then.

Muchas gracias, Enrique.

[speaking Spanish]

[Diego] You are
always welcome.

[both laugh]

[Parker] Yeah, we'll assess
projects as they come,

[Parker] Yeah, we'll assess
projects as they come,

and it has to be
financially viable.

That's what matters.

You're running a business.
It is about making money.

[Tyler] To me, I loved it.

I could have spent
another week there
prospecting.

But Parker wants to keep going
into the jungle.

Find big gold and more gold.

We gotta go deeper.

[Dan] Moving on
is never a bad thing.

Peru has a lot to offer.

So long may
the adventure continue.

[Diego] Been having
an adventure so far.

And we already decided

as a team that we're getting
deeper into the jungle.

as a team that we're getting
deeper into the jungle.

So for me, that's fine,
that's perfect.

I'm excited about that.
So let's go.

[Parker] Mining in
South America

is just such a much more
harsh environment.

You always forget how hardcore
these guys are.

Like, every day is a slog

to get that gold
out of the ground.

I'm really looking forward to

kind of getting
into the country,

looking at mining operations
that are off the beaten track.

So we're gonna go...

proper Apocalypse Now.

The Yukon has been

continuously mined
for 125 years.

So it's not
an unlimited resource.

We have to start

really aggressively
looking at other opportunities

in South America.

[Dan] Wow!

I feel very ready
to make that big push.

Let's go, Dan!

At the heart of these trips

is going way outside of
anybody's comfort zone.

-[shouting]
-[bleeping]

-[shouting]
-[bleeping]

What's that
crawling in my face?

[Tyler screaming]

[bleep]

Oh, I can't [bleep] breathe.

I would love to say that
it was safe,

but there's a lot
of assassinations,
human trafficking.

-[Parker] Wait, something...
-What's going on?

-[Tyler] What about it?
-Get the [bleep] out of there!

Gold mining takes you
to the most extreme places.

[automated voice]
Terrain ahead. Pull up.

Terrain ahead. Pull up.

Whoa, what's happening
to Parker?

The ingenuity of people
is just amazing.

The ingenuity of people
is just amazing.

[Tyler] They just use what
they have around them to mine.

The brutality of it
is hardcore.

Dan, there's one bad [bleep].
You're looking at it.

[Diego] Foreigners are not
welcome here.

Getting ran off a mine site
is on

the bucket list
for this trip, isn't it?

Finding a piece of ground
in the middle of nowhere

in the jungle
with a [bleep] ton of gold,

that's, like, number one goal.

We've been off the boat
five minutes, we've seen gold.

Oh, wow.

[Parker] That's [bleep] cool.

[Dan] That's incredible.

[Tyler] Oh, my [bleep].

[Dan] Oh, my [bleep]!

Sounds like a deal.

[Dan] Whoa!

Perfecto.
