Original subtitles

I'm in perhaps the most beautiful city in Peru, Arequipa, also known

as the white city.

And here I would personally receive the four remaining teams with open

arms.

Or rather, receive them with love.

Because they deserve that too.

After all, after the end of the world, this is starting to

become a real exploitation battle.

Yes indeed, there is enjoyment, but there is also abandonment.

In crappy hostels, with crappy chicken, with endless bus trips, with even

longer bus trips.

Now that they have already driven 6,000 kilometers, the question arises.

How do our heroes still keep it up?

Both physically, mentally and financially.

You say 40, man.

Yes, yes, it's very far, yes.

You shouldn't say 50, olibol.

Oh, my cookie.

Good, huh?

Oh, how nice that we continued.

In Race Across the World, five teams travel across the country.

From Mexico City to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world.

With the same budget as the price of two flight tickets on

the same route.

Because by always flying everywhere, we may have learned how it is

to travel somewhere.

Oh, how beautiful this is.

This is so amazing, man.

I'm so happy with you.

I said we could do this together.

It will be an exhausting backpack ride of two months.

I have a good backpack, I have a good one.

No, we're going to do this together.

I don't like this anymore.

In eight stages, through 17 countries, over more than 14,000 kilometers.

Without the help of their own smartphone.

Hello?

Or driver.

Holy shit.

There will also have to be work.

Really?

In a rather unorthodox way.

Who is proud of Latin America?

Which team wins the prize money of 15,000 euros?

This is Race Across the World.

Last time, we saw how Dominic and Katie Seldes kept the race

for granted.

Because the journey was unfortunately too high.

Both in terms of budgetary challenge and physical challenge.

I don't feel like we're competitive enough.

After a long journey through Colombia, Team Commander finally arrived.

Glorious as winner over the finish in Quito.

First!

With that, two previous second places were forgotten in one fell swoop.

You're going to take a picture right away, of course.

The numbers 2 this time were Hugo and Eva, who accepted their

loss with love.

Oh, we're second!

Yes!

Oh, I'm so happy for them.

For the first time, they are behind by 1.5 hours.

As third, for the third time in a row, Howard and Ray

arrived at Checkpoint Port.

We're just steady number three.

Yes, beautiful, right?

Yes, nice.

After that, Team Ragas arrived dead tired in the pouring rain in

the capital of Ecuador.

My energy level is just minus 10.

Yes.

Olga and Frank are the new leaders of the race.

And so, as the first team, they pick up the envelope with

information about the fourth stage at the reception of the hotel in

Quito.

Arequipa!

The next checkpoint on the way to the finish in Ushuaia is

in southern Peru, in the city of Arequipa.

Which means that the teams will have to cover at least 3

,000 kilometers this time.

These are the islands.

Climb the rainbow.

Oh, how beautiful!

It's so incredibly beautiful.

Yes, we wanted that so much, that rainbow mountain.

We said that right away.

If it's there, we'll do it.

We're going to Jan.

We're going to look at birds at Jan.

Oh, so nice in nature there.

It's going to be crazy.

We missed that in Costa Rica.

We're going to do it here.

There is a choice between sand in your pants or water in

your pants.

I have a careful preference for this one.

Sipping?

Yes.

Okay, we're going to sip.

I think it's going to be sand.

Nice, nice, nice, nice.

Right, right.

It's day 22 of the trip to Ushuaia.

Which will take place mainly in the gigantic Peru.

Peru!

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

The first team that arrives there is of course Team Commander.

Who hope to further expand their lead on Hugo and Eva.

The success of Olga and her husband is largely due to Frank's

meticulous planning.

Who is constantly tweaking the travel schedule.

Sir, how many kilometers to Tumbes?

35 kilometers to Tumbes.

Five.

35.

Yes.

Well, if you do, you did well.

Have a look at my schedule.

Check.

I was there for an hour.

Oh yes, yes, yes, check.

So far, that's right.

You're on schedule.

Yes.

Hugo and Eva arrive as a second team in the border area

of Ecuador and Peru.

And like every time, money has to be exchanged here too.

Which is always an exciting moment.

Because this part of the world does not know exchange offices.

Officially or officially.

How much?

How much is a dollar?

Okay.

That's 3.95. Yes.

400 dollars.

Times?

Times.

Three.

3.95. Yes?

Of course.

Okay.

I have 400 dollars.

With a little bit of luck, we just changed the exchange rate.

That's nice, isn't it?

Well, we pay attention to the little ones.

But also because we exchange a lot of dollars.

That's more favorable for us.

And actually also for him.

Because if we would go somewhere else, someone else would probably do

the same.

Okay?

Okay.

He is completely free.

Thank you.

It is already evening in Quito.

As a team, Comprul, with 6.5 hours behind, can start their

journey to Arequipa.

The two know how to score a night bus to the border.

And go super nice on the way to the coast of Peru.

Where they also arrive the next morning.

We have now arrived in Peru.

Dre is exchanging money, so I'm alone here.

But then you are surrounded by all those men who are commissioning

all the time.

About exchanging money, taking the next bus.

If I feel a bit uncomfortable, I turn on the music.

And it works.

I assume that you have set up your passive so far.

Certainly.

That's why I turned on the music.

Then they drift off a bit.

Shall I slowly say that we want to go to Mancora in

5 minutes?

Back to Quito, where Bas and Sam picked up the race a

bit.

Apparently, the fatigue that Father Bas was experiencing on arrival did not

go away.

And so Sam gets the full load when he goes to the

receptionist to ask for the route.

That man at the reception was very nervous.

The only thing we asked.

Do you have a map of Peru?

And can you explain to me how the Pan American Road goes?

But that's asking someone in the Netherlands where the A1 is going.

That's not a very complicated question.

But that man found it very exciting.

So he made a whole story of it.

The map is big.

You have to walk until Reina Victoria and Colón.

So to the right, two blocks and then to the right.

Faster you can go this corner.

Yes.

To the left.

Yes, and then keep on walking.

Again two blocks until Pan American.

I thought we would finish this briefly and then continue.

Then he started to explain it for a very long time.

That took a long time.

Then I turned to Bas and he looked at me pretty left.

That took too long for me.

It took too long for me.

So I know that too.

But I thought, guys, come on.

We have half an hour.

I know, but this couldn't go any faster.

Okay, but listen to me for a second.

Are you serious?

I find it a bit annoying.

You don't have to.

There's nothing wrong.

Well, I think so.

So I want to talk to the two of you.

There's nothing wrong.

So you don't have to say there's nothing wrong.

I think it's annoying.

What's annoying then?

What's going on?

I want you to communicate with the two of them.

And then we'll decide what we're going to do.

Yeah, I get that.

Okay, quiet.

Seriously, I don't like it.

Benny, I really don't understand what's going on here.

No, so I'll ask you again.

This man is nervous because he wants to print a ticket.

So this is not the man to ask me.

So we're going to the Pan-American bus company.

And they can tell you.

Very simple.

We have to make a decision within half an hour.

So we have little time to lose.

So we don't have to make a card with this man who

is nervous.

So we're going to walk now.

So that's what I'm saying.

Olga and Frank have scored new tickets for a night bus.

And have some time for themselves.

So they're looking for a quiet place near the bus station to

have lunch.

Well, Prieiltje.

There's someone already.

Is it nice to sit here?

Well, I don't know.

Are we going to sit well?

Well, yes.

Okay.

What do you need?

No, nothing.

Just a thing in the shade.

Just a rest.

I'm from Venezuela.

Oh, Venezuela.

Okay.

We talk to each other.

Are you alone in Venezuela?

With your family?

Alone.

What happened to your hand?

I fell and fractured my hand on the border.

On the border?

Yes.

The main reason I came from Venezuela is to work.

To work.

To fight for progress, for stability.

It's not easy.

But to leave your country...

Yes.

And live everything...

Maybe in a moment you'll have the blessing to move forward and

be stable.

And to face everything.

I'm sorry.

No.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no.

You take care of your own children.

Do they have it right?

Do you want them to have it right?

You give that to everyone.

It would be terrible if our children would have to flee for

anything.

We can't imagine that.

Because you don't have to flee from the Netherlands.

It's a double-edged sword.

It's intense.

In the meantime, Bas and Sem and Kito are still looking for

a way out in their discussion.

Let's talk to each other before we start asking people questions.

And before we get lost in conversations.

Do you do the talking?

Don't be childish.

No, that's what I'm saying.

That's easier.

Trust me.

If I spoke Spanish like you, you could have sat on a

bench and I would have arranged everything for you.

That's what this is about.

This man spoke English.

It's not very difficult.

You just have to discuss in between.

That's the only thing I'm asking.

You're 15 meters away from me when I was at the reception.

No, you were nice and communicative.

But then you come up to me and say ...

Sim, I've only been there twice.

But then you didn't say anything either.

I asked you two times.

And then you look at me as if I'm saying really weird

things.

It's nice when we just communicate with each other.

And that we make a decision together.

And not because you speak Spanish that I ...

This man speaks English.

That man now speaks English.

So I didn't understand.

And you could have been there a few times.

But that's why I wasn't aware of any harm.

No, but you were in conversation with that man.

And I saw that man for a long time.

But that didn't matter.

You're traveling with two people.

So you're equal travel partners.

But in the meantime I'm still the father.

And is he the son?

I don't think that's a huge point.

But I'm very dependent on him.

And that suddenly makes the relationship very different.

This is going much faster.

I can already see it.

Muchas gracias, mi amor.

I can also imagine that it is sometimes annoying for him.

So that's a bit of a given.

And there will be a bit of a grumble and a bit

of a bang.

And then we'll go eat something.

Or we'll get some fresh air.

And then it's over again.

That's what it is.

Then we'll continue happily, right?

The language barrier makes it difficult to fully understand each other.

But that doesn't mean that Olga and Frank get along well ...

how hopeless the situation of the refugee is.

Sleeping on the street is dangerous.

It is.

Thank you so much.

I'm quite emotional about it.

You could do more for him.

But you can't take him with you.

I'm quite silent about something like that.

If you experience it up close.

Then you just want to help.

Yes.

I hope you get well.

Thank you so much.

Okay.

Okay.

It's very difficult to walk away.

But ...

We all have to go on.

And he'll have to take the next step himself.

Wow.

You're all emotional, aren't you?

Jesus, what a beautiful guy.

Yes.

Oh, this is ...

I have goosebumps.

Really.

Later, Howard falls in love with a Peruvian cook.

Hashtag Hassan.

It turns out Hugo and Eva have been exposed.

What?

What?

It's false.

And Sam fell into the grace of Bas.

I think you're doing great.

Really.

You're a great team.

Yes.

The Race continues.

See you soon.

Welcome back to Race Across the World.

In which the remaining teams follow their journey to Ushuaia from Quito

to Arequipa.

In the south of Peru.

Howard and Dre have now arrived at the coast.

In the north of Peru.

Where they landed in Mangora.

It is a bathing place for which many Peruvian tourists can be

found.

Seeing whole families on the beach, Dre, who is always a little

cold, calls ...

to miss the feeling of his son.

How he has been away from home for almost four weeks.

I would really like to have my son here.

Yes, I understand.

When I'm here and I see all those kids playing, I miss

him very much.

Yes, I totally understand that.

Could you come back here with him again?

For sure.

Making such a trip like this anyway.

It seems very nice to do with him when you're a little

older.

Yes.

My son is now 8 years old, of course.

So it's quite a difficult age.

That you go away for so long.

Yes, that's another story.

But he is now at the age that he understands it.

So I told him it was an adventure and a race.

Then he also found that element very exciting.

How can you win?

Can Uncle Howard and you win?

Yes, he said yes, that's possible.

He thought that was cool.

So actually it is the biggest motivation to win this race.

Is actually for my son.

For the children.

Yes, for the kids.

It's a Van Houten philosophy.

It's for the kids.

It's for the children.

It's for the children.

The next morning, Hugo and Eva arrive in a small town somewhere

in Peru.

On a tour to the place where they will spot birds in

the jungle.

But when they go to buy tickets, they get an annoying message.

Sorry?

What?

What?

It's false?

What do you mean it's false?

It's a fake ticket.

What do you mean?

Do I only have fake tickets?

They just sewed it.

No, really, fuck off.

There are hundreds of them.

Yes, this looks very different.

Fuck.

It's really nice.

God, what a relief.

Really not fun at all.

That guy just stole our money.

We are still negotiating a bit.

Can't we get a little more?

And he said yes right away.

Maybe if we hadn't said we could have a better race, he

wouldn't have put those letters in between.

Oh my god.

We're going to cry here in a corner.

And we have tickets, right?

Yes.

You have that?

Yes.

That's awful, Hugh.

At that moment, Olga and Frank also arrive at the bus station

in a very different part of Peru.

And because the shrinking budget is now a hot topic for every

team, they also hurry around to get the best price.

How much does it cost?

50 soles.

And possible US dollar?

17.

No.

Oh, per person.

17 per person.

17 per person.

That's 34.

It's a total of 100 soles.

And 1 in 4, you get 25 dollars.

And he wanted 34 dollars, so 1 in 3.

Yes, because there were only a few seats in the bus.

So we have to hurry.

But go change quickly.

I'll wait here for a while.

Getting the finish line also has to do with the question of

whether the teams can save money.

That's exactly why Hugo and Eva were super economical.

The explanation is also very relevant.

And are you so economical?

This is just 80 euros down the drain.

Yes, more.

It's really shit.

It's really shit.

What the fuck.

Now we can literally eat four days of it.

Or make two good travel days of it.

Yes, really super sour.

Let's not talk too much about it.

Because I still want to give this out legally.

But wait a minute, are we going to enlighten people with fake

gas now?

Yes.

Yes, sorry, I'm going to try.

We don't know that, do we?

Are you going to throw it away here?

No, I'm not going to throw it away, but I'm going to

do exactly the same.

But yes, that's right.

But I'm not going to throw away 100 dollars.

Okay, then we'll keep this to exchange it back.

That will be really exciting.

We should have been able to buy something better than to exchange

it back.

The exchange is more important.

No, because if you exchange, you do 1, 2, 3, 4.

He did that with us too.

While if you give one, just like just now.

Then he's going to look, wait a minute, what kind of note

is this?

What a shit story this is.

For the first time during the race, the indistinguishable Olga and Frank

are not together.

Because to get the best price for his dollars, Frank goes elsewhere

in the city.

While Olga guards the tickets, so that they cannot be resold, because

that could mean a loss of time.

200 dollars.

Dollars?

Yes, 293.

Thank you.

It worked.

The exchange was successful.

Only I had set up more for a tape than this.

What a mistake that was.

Successful, yes.

With you too?

Yes, I've been looking, but it's still there.

They're still there.

Thank you.

Team Ragas also tries to score their tickets as cheaply as possible.

Whereby Bas is also on top of it.

Do you have a name for that man or not?

No, very specific questions next time.

Yes.

Hola, buenos dias.

Busco el manager.

Gracias.

Gracias.

He said one moment, then I'll ask him.

Then you can discuss it.

But he was already laughing, so we'll get that discount anyway.

And then we have to go to Utrecht, where the money is.

For the next time.

Write down addresses and ask right away.

My manager, what's his name?

Then you become much more effective with that kind of thing.

Yes.

Hola señor, buenos dias.

Hola, Sam.

Entonces, eso es la cosa.

Estamos viajando de Ciudad de México a Ushuaia en Argentina.

14.000 kilómetros.

La pregunta es, ¿podrías ayudarnos con un descuento?

Con el Buscama a las 1 de la tarde.

¿Para cuándo sería?

¿Para hoy?

Para hoy, sí.

Para hoy, ¿sí?

¿Sí?

¿Sí se puede?

He can make it 100.

100 instead of 120.

130, he says.

Great.

He can also change here.

¿Y el cambio?

3,70.

3,70.

Yes, it's 4.

Then you immediately throw back that 30%.

We're not going to do that.

We're going to the city.

Good.

Good idea.

Okay, then we can go.

Drink a cup of coffee, take a breath.

Well done, Sam.

I try to teach him a few things every now and then,

so that's nice.

But I don't have to tell him too much what to do,

because that's also a bit of an excuse.

Because in the meantime, he does everything.

Did you shake my hand?

Yes, a few times already.

Nice, give me your hand.

Gracias, señor.

Muchas gracias.

That's 60.

What did you say?

That's a $15 discount, Sam.

Yes, that's quite a lot.

Yes, very well done.

Howard and Dre are the most steady performing team.

Always third, never in a hurry.

And always looking for that one authentic experience.

Which is preferably cheap and edible.

Hola.

Buenas.

Buenas.

This is the most romantic restaurant I've ever seen.

It's fantastic here.

So cozy.

I feel a bit of a religious vibe.

Yes.

But it also feels cozy or something.

As far as you're concerned.

And the fish is handled well.

Yum, yum, yum.

It smells like home, indeed.

It's also a bit because that journey is a bit disorienting.

You're in that bus all the time.

And because of that, Martijn, you feel a bit at home.

Your anchor.

Yes, your anchors are disarmed.

We just adopt her for one day.

She's our aunt and we're at aunt's house.

That's how it is.

Oh, wow.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

You see and you smell the love.

Unbelievable.

It's so beautiful.

So delicious.

With so much care.

Delicious, isn't it?

Nice and spicy.

It's very, very, very delicious.

It's very delicious.

You'll want to come back tomorrow.

This is really insane.

Cleo, are you married?

Yes.

Why?

Really, really good.

Very good.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

The husband also likes it.

It's very delicious.

Come on, sit down.

It's delicious.

This is only for you.

Soon, Hugo will experience the healing power of a meteorite.

I'm a new person, he says.

Bastiaan looks back on the hardest part of his life.

Not being with my child for half the time.

And the sadness.

Yes, the saddest thing in my life.

And try to suck Howard and Danny.

See you at Race Across the World.

Welcome back to Race Across the World.

Where the four remaining teams follow their journey to Ushuaia.

From Quito to Arequipa.

In the south of Peru.

Olga and Frank make their way to South Peru.

A stop at a bear shelter.

Where they can earn some extra travel budget.

They arrived the night before in the dark.

So they have no idea where they ended up.

Take a look.

It's beautiful.

Look how high that sun is.

Oh, how beautiful here.

Nice, isn't it?

You can see fresh air.

Yes, you step into paradise here.

Beautiful nature.

Birds.

You can see everything.

It's really eye-catching.

Really beautiful.

Yes, animals.

A pig or something.

Nice, isn't it?

Pigs are walking around.

A whole family of pigs.

They are strolling through the bushes.

Oh, foxes.

What are they?

Foxes, right?

Oh, how cute.

Oh, how lonely.

And foxes, even closer.

A few small foxes, but very different from us.

We have red and brown foxes.

These were a bit grayish.

Very small, I think.

Yes, I think so too.

Oh, how nice.

We'll meet again after breakfast.

It's good.

Oh, how beautiful.

Oh, Mickey.

Beautiful.

But then the fun is over.

And they have to work on the irrigation system.

Oh, that blade is a bit broken.

Do you want me to cut it?

Yes, that's fine.

Try it.

See, Frank?

We're in an ecological company.

So it has to be all natural.

We're cutting plastic wires.

But yes, it is functional for the company.

No, I don't want that either.

You don't want that?

No, no.

I have the tools.

7, 8, 9, 10.

Yes?

3.

Hugo and Eva are on their way to their chosen garden.

Bird spotting in the jungle.

But what should be a party is a challenge for Hugo.

He seems to have picked up the gringo flute.

He starts Race Across the World.

A new dimension.

Just do what you have to do.

He has a stomach ache.

So he's looking for a toilet.

He just has to poop.

You can't do anything about that, unfortunately.

I think he's pooping himself.

What is the verdict?

Not good?

Shit.

Let's go.

Natural reserve.

Drops of water.

There's a meteorite.

Energy.

What?

Oh, that's cool.

Meteorite.

Put it there.

Yes.

Don't touch it.

Connection.

Yes.

Get up to here.

One minute, electricity passes through your body.

Electricity will pass through you in a minute.

Get up.

No, you can't do that.

Low energy.

He doesn't know I'm very weak.

Try it.

Come on.

Let's go.

Okay.

One minute.

Keep going.

One minute.

30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 60.

Low energy.

Moment.

There.

Magnetic field.

Here's electricity.

What do you feel?

Excellent.

Renewal of energy.

New person.

I'm a new person, he says.

New person.

Very good, 2.0. We're here.

Team Ragas has decided to work part of the way back.

They spent a little over 12 hours on the leaders Olga and

Frank.

But the super long distance bus, where the two are now, is

unfortunately again oiled by Bastiaan's deep-seated desires for comfort.

It's windy.

The bus trips are windy.

Not eating, except for a banana and a few nuts.

It's windy.

Sleeping on the floor.

It's windy.

Only that cacophony is still there.

I'm used to that.

But other than that, it's windy.

I like that.

Nice in the bus, 22 hours.

Sitting, reading.

Zoom out.

Relaxed.

No, this is really fun.

I never want to go back to the Netherlands.

But even Bas will have to admit that the destination is breathtaking.

Peru is so rich in landscapes that they end up in a

desert.

Including Oazes.

But there is no time to catch up.

They continue in one minute with the self-chosen island for which

they still have to drive a long way through the sand.

Hey, watch out.

Wow.

Look, look, look.

A real oasis as you see it in videos.

In a desert.

And then somewhere a few palm trees with a little lake.

That's here.

In the jungle.

A lot northerner.

Things are already going a lot better with Hugo.

The meteorite does indeed appear to have miracles in store.

I don't know if it's because of that meteorite stone.

I don't have a stomachache right now.

Well, great.

Whether you believe it or not, I do have a stomachache.

And I feel super chill.

But it's weird.

And then it's time for the main act.

Spotting birds and especially luring them.

Tropical Maranon.

Ah, it's very good.

Psss, psss, psss, psss, psss.

Psss, psss, psss, psss, psss.

Psss, psss, psss, psss, psss.

Psss, psss, psss, psss, psss.

It's never boring with Hugo and me.

I don't know why that is.

I always have to laugh a lot about Hugo and also about

me.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, those are really beautiful, aren't they?

King of the Peacock.

I just dig very magical animals.

I always want a pig in my garden.

And I dig, if Eva gives birth, she gets me a pig.

She doesn't call herself yet, but she'll find out.

A few hundred kilometers further on, Bas and Sam have arrived at

the part Sandboarding.

Ah!

Oh, fuck.

Shit.

I'm getting out of here.

Later that afternoon, Bas is open-hearted.

Then we find out what motivated him to go through all the

obstacles of the Race Across the World.

It's all about lost time with Sam.

It's a very strange childhood, because you were half with your mother

and half with me.

But because of that, as a child, you're never really anywhere.

You're always somewhere in between.

Yes, the relationship with Sam has always been very complicated.

At least not the relationship itself, but the reality of shared parenting.

Co-parenting.

Not being with my child for half the time.

And the sadness and feeling guilty about it, whether you're doing it

right.

And if you see each other, whether you still have the right

time to tie and give everything.

What you want to give as a father.

That's the most difficult thing, I think.

Yes, the saddest thing in my life.

Yes.

And at some point I thought, if that boy is 20, I've

only seen him half the time.

So I've only seen him for 10 years.

And that we can sit back for weeks now.

And make jokes.

Yes, that is of course very nice.

On this trip, of course, we sometimes complain about that bus or

about the doghouse or whatever.

But there are a few very beautiful moments every week that go

very, very deep.

When we look at each other, jeez.

Do you have to see us again here or there?

But because of this trip, I sometimes have to let go of

the reins.

And give it to you when I don't speak Spanish.

That's very nice, because in the end it's also a bit of

a practice.

For what will come at some point.

That I get old and fragile and not so fast.

And that you are completely on top of the game.

And that you are going to take over things.

Without a doubt, I think being a father is the most beautiful,

touching and important task.

Or a role that I have in my life.

I think ...

It touches me very quickly, I notice.

Yes, when I think about it.

I think that you can be someone's father.

That's actually it.

The commanders are then about to provide the residents of the bear

shelter with breakfast.

Oh, there he comes.

Look, look, look, there he comes.

Oh, how beautiful.

Look at that.

Oh, Lola.

Oh, how good.

Oh, how good.

We were allowed to pass those eggs to them across the fence.

And they grab it so carefully.

And then very carefully bite off a piece.

And then lick empty with slurps.

But very carefully, very calmly.

Not at all grumpy or anything.

Very nice.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Here.

Oh.

Oh.

Delicious.

Oh, how delicious.

Delicious.

Oh, how nice.

Oeh.

Well, do another one.

Make sure he grabs it well.

Yes, I thought he had it.

Yes, now he's good.

Okay.

Oh, how nice.

Look, let's enjoy it.

Yes, it's great.

Oh, look.

Oh, Fran, look.

Oh, how nice.

I didn't experience that as work.

That bear food was just a gift.

Okay, you can just throw that away.

Difficult, guys.

Very cool.

Oh, my old bullfighting skills again.

Oh, for a woman I throw quite far, I think.

In the past, I did multiples, also throwing spears.

And then you have to keep your arm back and throw.

And you had to do that with these potatoes too.

Yes, one more, Frank.

It's the last one.

At least.

Yes, that was a good one.

We know we have to keep going.

This was really fun.

I would have liked to stay longer.

But our mind says, no, we have to go on now.

Oh, but this is also beautiful.

You really have to take a look.

Because Howard prefers water in his pants than sand, Team Komproe is

about to go supping.

Because you know, you don't do this race with blindfolds on.

Each team gets something fun to do at each stage.

Have you ever supped before?

Never in a long time.

Just a little distance.

I supped emotionally.

More than that?

No.

Welcome to El Neuro.

Thank you.

We're going to start straight from here.

And then we're going to start going north, all towards those boats.

Hopefully we can see some sea life.

Usually turtles, a little bit of different kind of fish.

Some sea lions sometimes.

I like water, I like sailing.

And animals.

So that combination works well.

But I'm not super enthusiastic or driven.

Okay, we've chosen this, we're going to do it.

I quickly notice that it's good for me to sit on my

knees and get that balance.

As a scale.

As a scale, exactly.

I tried to get me up on a fishing boat.

And I succeeded.

I stood for a while.

But at some point, I don't know what happened, but I felt

like a whiskey drinker.

And then I laughed it off.

With such a big, written wapats.

Better go on your knees.

But I decided to keep doing it on my knees.

Because I felt more confident.

At some point, I noticed that I got that speed under control.

I thought, well, I'll just do it like this.

But in addition to the knee technique, I also have the flat

bear technique.

Bear is Surinamese for belly.

And because I'm not used to sitting on my knees for a

long time on hard surfaces, I had to relax my knees sometimes.

And that was the way to just lie flat on my legs.

And then those knees with some water, a kind of massage.

Look, I'm a stand-up comedian, of course.

Do you understand?

That's the place where I stand up straight.

My first time throwing up a stand-up comedian.

All other places, yes.

I'm looking for an alternative.

You're very good.

Soon Eva will be in tears at the memory of a long

-lost friend.

I hate that she's not there anymore.

I don't know if I can laugh anymore.

Does Bastia Raga have an argument with a taxi driver?

You say 40, man.

Yes, yes, it's very far.

You shouldn't say 50.

And does Hugo see green and yellow again?

See you later.

Welcome back to Race Across the World, where the remaining four teams

travel to Ushuaia, followed by Quito to Arequipa, in the south of

Peru.

Being away from home for a long time, and really getting rid

of the hustle and bustle of the day, means that many travelers

also face the confrontation with something that is consciously or unconsciously

suppressed.

And that's exactly what Eva experiences on the route to Lima.

This wasn't a flight or something.

I had that a bit, because Alexander died, of course.

And that just kind of put my life at risk.

Alexandra is my best friend.

And unfortunately she passed away.

Seven months ago or something.

But what exactly happened in that bus?

I was shaking a bit.

Yes, I know.

I just heard her laughing really hard.

And then I thought, fuck, I'm never going to hear that again.

Her laugh and her happiness and stuff.

So I really got a little, not in panic, but I thought,

holy, it was just very intense.

A very intense emotion.

I hate it.

I hate that she's gone.

And that I can't talk to her anymore.

And that I can't laugh with her anymore.

And that I can't tell her anything about this trip.

I don't think it takes an hour for me not to think

of her.

And to realize every hour that one of your great loves, because

that's really how I saw her, one of the great loves in

your life is no longer there, is just so painful.

And it's so fresh and it's so raw.

It's raw, but it's also so raw.

It feels like an open wound that can burst open at any

moment.

It just really sucks.

And it's also special to realize that I'm still developing such a

friendship.

That's with Hugo.

I also have such a special connection with him.

It's not for TV, it's not for this show.

It's just full of life, for our lives.

And that's worth a lot to me.

While some kids have lost their focus on the race week, Bas

and Sam are doing just fine.

Although there is little need for Father Bas to do our flames.

How much does Yarabamba cost?

Okay, thank you.

He doesn't drive on Yarabamba.

How much does Yarabamba cost?

No?

I don't get it.

How much does Yarabamba cost?

No, okay.

Okay, thank you.

He asks for 50.

Yarabamba is a bit expensive.

How much does Yarabamba cost?

60 soles.

What?

60 soles.

Oh yeah, he doesn't say 60 soles.

Of course not.

Yes, bye.

Hey, let's put him in his 60.

You're annoying.

You said 40, man.

Yes, yes, it's very far.

You shouldn't say 50.

That's annoying, those guys.

They don't want to drive there.

Why?

They think it's too far.

It's the same reason why a lot of taxi drivers don't want

to drive to Bloemendaal.

Because they can't get a ride there.

Okay, there's the empire.

He wants to go to Yarabamba, I think.

How much does Yarabamba cost?

The town of Yarabamba.

Dad, he says 25.

Well, now it's 25.

I don't know how one god comes up with such a low

price.

Always than Yarabamba.

Eva's tears work well.

Because Hugo also started this race with an open wound.

After the divorce of his boyfriend.

He hoped to reinvent himself on this journey.

I want to be happy with myself.

Don't you think that if you strive for perfection, you always have

the feeling ...

that you have to change to get somewhere that's not realistic at

all?

Yes.

So you're never really happy with yourself?

No.

Maybe I'm perfect if I'm happy with myself.

Then you have to let go of that perfection.

It's also a form of perfection.

So your best self, apart from the outside, is that I'm going

to love myself.

Oh, my cookie.

I want that so much from you.

And I love you so much.

I was very shocked by my own emotions.

I found that very intense.

I've never experienced that before.

That there was such a physical impulse.

That I couldn't stop crying anymore.

And I could only scream.

I got you, baby.

I found out that I couldn't cope with processing shit.

I want to leave.

Do you want to walk?

Yes.

I think my biggest goal has been achieved.

And that's just that I've come to myself.

And that I finally dare to admit and admit that I need

your help.

This is perfection for me, honey.

Life.

But I do have to close the gate now.

And the quiet Netherlands.

Under good guidance.

Just go for it.

I can't escape that either.

I'm not a superman.

So I also have emotions.

And I'm going to give them a place.

Yes, and now we're just going to enjoy four weeks.

This had to go.

I've been hitting it for the first week.

And that came out after a month.

Actually very happy.

I'm glad it's coming out now.

I didn't think I'd have this shit feeling for two months.

So I actually feel very relieved.

I feel really relieved.

So I'm looking forward to it.

I have energy again.

And I'm looking forward to waking up with that little Puma again.

Save a lot of money.

And above all to share a lot of fun and love together.

After another endless night bus ride.

Olga and Frank arrive in the place to be of Peru.

Because the city of Cusco is not only the former capital of

the old Inca Empire.

It is also the base for many fantastic sights.

Like the Rainbow Mountains.

Jeez man, cool.

Jeez, cool.

I'm curious where we're going.

Buenos Dias.

Buenos Dias.

The biggest challenge when making the climb to the Rainbow Mountain.

Is the enormous height.

Which ensures that altitude sickness is at bay.

If we keep it up like this, it will be fine.

Yes.

You feel it coming up.

And then a bit flat you feel it recover.

So yes, it's going well.

But it's not going well.

I have to stand still for a moment.

Okay.

Tension in the mountains is quite intense.

Because of lower oxygen levels.

So you get tired faster.

I'm going to swing, I like that.

Yes?

Yes.

I got the tip that if it gets a little slipperier, go

slowly.

Then you make it a little less slippery for yourself.

And then it's a little easier.

You can hold on to your suit a little better.

A little bit more Frank.

Yes.

Yes, the Rainbow Mountain is a bit of a double story.

Because 30 years ago it didn't exist yet.

Because it was still completely covered by the snow.

And yes, due to global warming it has warmed up.

Did the snow disappear?

Did it discover Rainbow Mountain?

And has it become a tourist attraction?

Yes, we made it.

We are there.

Wow.

You could go up there, I don't know if you can see

it.

But now you can see it all.

Great.

Hey, scooter.

Oh, how nice that we continued.

I'm happy.

Yes, that's nice.

Yes, that's nice.

Only when we got all the way to the top.

Then you suddenly see that mountain.

Which then pulls those colors to both sides.

So really a rainbow.

And well, I was like, this is it.

This is what we did it for.

Yes, really beautiful.

The further south you get in Peru, the more the street image

begins to look like a kind of mars colony.

And the thinner the country becomes.

Which also means that a hotel can sometimes be difficult to find.

Hello.

Good morning.

Hotel?

No hotel?

There is none.

Good morning, sir.

A question.

We are looking for a hotel.

Hotel is difficult?

Yes.

There is none.

But they are helpful, here in the countryside of Peru.

Even though Oma Gent doesn't go any further than the local Jehovah's

Witnesses.

Let's see his cross.

What's in there?

Show me your cross.

But cross or not, even the almighty does not give up.

And so there is no other way than to learn to get

in the taxi yourself.

Which suddenly became twice as expensive.

100?

Okay, 100 keys.

Yes.

Vale, llegamos.

Muchas gracias, senor.

On the way to a sleeping place in the capital Lima, Hugo,

after all the emotions, is now physically at the end of his

latin.

He goes over the street, and spends almost half the night in

the toilet.

These are shocking images.

While Hugo leaves his traces in the streets of Lima, Howard and

Dreen are another part of the city on their way to the

finish.

Of the fourth stage.

Vamos.

We're going to Checkpoint.

Look, we're third so far.

Yes.

So we're going again today.

We're going back to third place.

Olga and Frank have also started to descend and approach the city

of Arequipa from Cusco.

When the location of the checkpoint is entered on the tracker.

Let's have a look.

The fourth checkpoint is at the Yana Huara Viewpoint.

Yana Huara Viewpoint.

Okay.

In Arequipa.

Arequipa.

Team Raghas is also preparing for the last part of the trip

to the White City.

Where his son Sam sees it very rosy.

Vamos.

I think he's looking forward to it.

I hoped, and I really thought, we could really be first.

We planned it so well.

So tight.

A long bus ride behind the back.

Shall I have a look?

What do the numbers say?

More than 1000 kilometers in 19 and a half hours.

And we just got a message.

The fourth checkpoint is at the Yana Huara Viewpoint.

Yana Huara.

I say taxi.

Yana Huara, here we come.

We walk to a taxi.

And for the first time we have a taxi that knows where

we are going.

He just knows what it is and where it is.

How much time?

15 minutes.

Okay, thank you.

A quarter.

But Olga and Frank have also arrived.

They secretly dream of beating all the young people in the race

at the finish line in Ushuaia.

And so they want nothing more than to continue their lead.

Are they going to bring it all in?

Are they going to bring it in?

I think so.

Yes, but if it comes out, we'll catch it.

Yes, that's why.

I went in front with my letters.

Because he put some things in front.

But I think with my letters, with my numbers in front.

I say Mochila Azul.

So blue backpack.

And then he grabbed them quickly.

And then we were off too fast, I thought.

Yes.

I dive in.

I'm glad he's driving.

Yes, he understood.

Yes, I had to laugh a bit.

Because we said, he looks very active.

But of course I didn't see that at all.

I thought, oh God.

Yes, but you have to see it all.

He thinks, here's something of the day.

Then we're going to make a good one.

He had set up the navigation.

He was completely ready for it.

Very cool.

We had the best driver of the last four weeks.

We have bus drivers who want to drive us to death.

And we have taxi drivers who are not in the lead.

And in this case we had a taxi driver.

Who really raced through the city as a kind of Max Verstappen.

Ehm.

Payer?

Yes.

Did you ask how much that was?

15.

15, do you have it ready?

Did it fit with you?

No, I only have 100.

God, how do you do that?

Only 100?

Yes.

Yes, that came with the sliding box in the commission.

Oh, but I can't have that back.

What are we doing with that?

Oh.

Is there a problem?

Well, okay.

Oh, okay.

Look.

Ah.

Ah.

Good.

He drives up a mountain in a straight, flowing movement.

Ah, wow.

A little more, a little more.

Sir, a little more.

There.

Stop, please.

Yes, here.

Thank you.

We step out.

We see the donkey standing.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Come on, go, go, go, go, go.

We walk to the donkey.

Well, you never guess.

We are third again.

We are third again.

And we are third again.

But look, not everyone is.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

So.

Here he comes.

So.

Topazza.

I'm going to thank that gentleman again.

See you tomorrow.

Hey boss.

How are you?

Uh.

Now good.

But it's an exhaustion stroke.

Hi Sam.

That's a coincidence.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Take a good look at you.

Yes, thank you.

You can see it a little better by looking at your face.

But I really see every kilometer you've walked.

It's in your face.

I'm broken.

Yes, it's really hard.

I am physically and emotionally broken is a big word.

But there are moments when I think I really don't want this.

Really, really, really.

You often sleep in very bad hotels.

Yes, kind of hostels.

Cold water, no airconditioning, hot.

Well, it's 5.05 in the morning.

Come on, let's go.

Uh.

Yes, okay.

And so.

Um.

But yes, we are there first.

We left Kito last.

And we just arrived there first.

And that's just really fun.

It was fun to see all four of them.

That was a long time ago.

Yes, then you come first.

Hey, second.

Yes.

Bas and uh.

Bas and Sam.

Yes.

Wow, great.

Hey, where is that Mirador?

Here is Mirador.

I am super proud of ourselves.

But completely on Frank who planned it so tightly.

And thought it out.

And it turned out.

And well, I'm very proud of that.

Hey, congratulations.

We did it, didn't we?

Yes.

6.20. Hey Martijn.

Nice that you're here.

Yes.

But I'm here for a reason.

I'm not just coming.

No.

Okay.

You are second.

Congratulations.

We are second.

Yes.

With the alpaca emblem.

There they are again.

Yes, yes.

Yes, of course.

Go sit down and puff out.

The alpaca is number one.

No.

Yes, yes.

How long does it take?

It's an excursion.

Okay, here we go.

Do you want to go too?

Yes, I first thought who is that swimmer?

But that was our own tennis.

Then why did you walk into the scene?

Because I am.

Then why did you walk into the scene?

Because they are of course surprised.

Get out of the scene.

They are of course surprised.

No, no, no.

You are just so relaxed.

I walk up to you.

I think of course.

Shall I take everything?

Yes.

That's totally fun.

Good, right?

Yes, fantastic.

Nice to see you again.

Nice to see you again.

Certainly.

Yes.

Yes guys.

Indeed, third.

Yes, because we do it all the time.

I know.

But I'm also curious what he has to say.

What does he have to say?

Because of course he's not just like that.

He's not just like that.

No.

Are you here to help carry things?

Or is that too optimistic?

Yes, that's a bit optimistic.

I thought so.

Only after the other teams have come in long and wide and

have taken me to a nice hotel at my expense Team knowledge

arrives in Arequipa.

Where Hugo is proud.

But on his last legs.

Mega belly.

Yes?

Oh shit.

We're almost there.

See, I recognize it.

I recognize it, honey.

These are the boats.

Ok, here it is.

Thank you.

To the church too.

Thank you.

And?

Believe it or not, but we're the last.

Oh, we're not the last.

Oh.

Oh, are you okay?

No.

Shall I take a quick picture of you?

Come on, doll.

Well, four.

And we're fourth.

We're fourth.

11 hours.

44.

44.

So.

Look.

Oh, it's starting to develop.

Look at that.

We're such nerds.

Have you seen a Banyos anywhere?

No.

Ola?

Huh?

I'm serious.

Listen.

I think there's a man behind us.

What are you doing?

What a joke.

What are you doing here?

I see a hat on our picture.

How are you?

Not so good.

Say hi to Hugo.

You're keeping it up.

Yes, I'm keeping it up.

But you're sick.

I'm keeping it up, but I've been sick for a while.

I'm physically through it.

I'm crying.

Oh man, I'm broken.

Really.

Oh honey.

But isn't there a Banyos nearby?

Yes.

Shit.

Oh man.

Yes, God.

Next time on Race Across the World.

It's just a question of whether Hugo can continue.

It's really, really shit.

It's bloody.

In Bolivia, the altitude sickness takes over.

I felt like I was out of breath all the time.

Did Olga and Frank experience the same altitude as the other?

I'm so glad I got to share this with you.

With you?

Yes, fantastic.

And I have a message that is coming soon.

It's all getting...

...much harder.

See you next time on Race Across the World.
