[Dan] There we go, go on, yes.

-[Tyler exclaims]
-[Dan] No [bleep].

[narrator] Yukon miner
Parker Schnabel

reveals the untold stories.

Parker likes
pushing the boundaries

of what he's allowed to do.

Let's go, Dan!

Enough!

[narrator] From his epic hunt
for gold in South America.

[Parker] Look at that.

-[Dan] It's beautiful.
-[Tyler] Wow!

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

[narrator] Meeting
one-of-a-kind miners.

You guys are the most hardcore
mother [bleep]

You guys are the most hardcore
mother [bleep]

I think I've ever met.

[narrator] In the most
extreme places.

This is like Star
Wars mining.

Whoo-hoo!

I can't believe
they're letting me do this.

Yeah, you got boom
in your shot?

[narrator] With never before
seen footage.

Dan, get it off me.

[narrator] This is
the unfiltered story...

[Parker] You think I wanna
look at your [bleep] ass?

It has been a [bleep]
cool trip, hasn't it?

[narrator] ...of how Parker
found a Bolivian gold mine...

[Parker] Holy [bleep].
So that's a hole.

[Parker] Holy [bleep].
So that's a hole.

I really wanna find out

what's in the bottom
of this valley.

[narrator] ...and struck
a life-changing deal.

[Parker] I'd like to put up
$25,000.

I don't think anything
compares to this.

It's hard to get in the middle
of nowhere nowadays,
you know?

Everywhere you go,
somebody's been,

especially dragging
a film crew with you.

[Diego] I think we're in
the right direction.

[Diego] I think we're in
the right direction.

[Dan] This place
is pretty special.

This is the village?

Yup.

There's a group of people.

[local man] Parker!

[Dan laughs]
Did you hear that?

He said "Parker."

You have been recognized
in some of
the craziest places.

[in Spanish]

[Parker] Si.

We're not gonna get anything
done for the next 20 minutes.

[Parker] Hola!

[crowd laughing]

[bleep] gold mining,
we're in an awesome spot.

[crowd clapping]

[narrator] Parker's mission
begins rolling the dice
on Peru.

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

[narrator] One of the top gold
producers in Latin America.

Peru has the best,
kind of untapped,

placer mining potential

of anywhere that we've been.

[narrator] A country
full of beauty...

[narrator] A country
full of beauty...

[bleep] hell!

[narrator] ...and danger.

[Parker] I love traveling,
I love seeing the world.

I love getting into really
[bleep] sucky situations.

[snake hissing]

But this has definitely been,
you know, a hardcore trip.

[narrator] To survive
and succeed,

Parker needs
a highly trained professional.

[Diego] There's a lot of
different snakes in the jungle

that can actually
kill us easily.

Especially if you don't have
the antivenom.

Especially if you don't have
the antivenom.

It's time
to play doctor, Diego.

[Diego laughs]

Diego was the [bleep] MVP.

[narrator] To help him
and the team survive

while searching
for new opportunities,

Parker chooses
heart surgeon...

[Diego] Please, breathe in.

[narrator] ...and wilderness
survival expert...

[Diego] This is for wounds.

[narrator]
...Dr. Diego Lizarzaburu.

[Diego] We will need
to keep everybody safe.

It's why I'm going, right?

It's why I'm going, right?

I was born and raised in Lima.

I went to med school.

I ended up
working almost six years

in vascular surgery in Peru.

And I have some training
as a bodyguard.

[narrator] And Diego's resume
doesn't end there.

I've also been a firefighter
for 12 years.

[narrator] Fighting fires
since he was 19...

[siren blaring]

[narrator] ...while also
studying to be a doctor.

[narrator] ...while also
studying to be a doctor.

[Diego] I wanted to become
a firefighter

for helping people,
but also because it's fun.

There's a lot of adrenaline
in it.

And finally, these guys here
become your family at the end.

[in Spanish]

He's in control of our safety.

He's in control of our safety.

[Diego] Guys, get the [bleep]
out of there!

You know,
he drives us everywhere.

Keep going, keep going.

Oh, it's [bleep] in.

-Did someone get wet?
-[Dan] Maybe a little bit.

He translates for us.

[Tyler] Do you mind asking
what kind of purity
their gold is?

[Diego in Spanish]

[Diego] 95.5%.

Good job, Diego.
You're [bleep] pro at this.

From a mining standpoint,
he's very curious and smart.

From a mining standpoint,
he's very curious and smart.

Diego, you gonna have a go?

I'm gonna wash it.

Nice.

[Dan] Whey!

And of course he's a doctor,

and he basically saved
the trip

probably multiple times.

-[Tyler] Oh, wow, looking
very profesh.
-[Dan] Oh, Diego,

you look so professional.

[Parker] I feel like I would
just, like, bust out laughing

if I saw you, like,
dressed as a doctor

in a hospital at this point.

Like, I'm just so used to you

being, like, out in the jungle
with us.

Like I forget
that you're, like...

that he's a professional.

that he's a professional.

[Diego] I am.

Like, he's not a [bleep]
degenerate like us.

[narrator] But Dr. Diego's
biggest test...

[Diego] Checking
oxygen levels.

[narrator] ... comes in
week three of the trail.

I've been worried
about the team 24/7.

Especially in some places.

Rinconada was for sure
one of them.

Rinconada was probably my
least favorite place we went.

It's one of those places that
can strike fear into anyone.

It's one of those places that
can strike fear into anyone.

[narrator] Willing
to investigate
every gold opportunity,

no matter the risk...

Parker journeys
to La Rinconada,

the highest gold mine
on Earth.

[dog barking]

[Parker] It's, like,
I'm fairly nervous about...

Rinconada.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm excited, but...

in the way that I get excited
about super-dangerous [bleep].

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

Who's this?

[Parker] Hi, Mom.

We're going
to Rinconada tomorrow

at, like, 17,000 feet.

[laughs]
Diego's in the room right now.

Are you talking to Diego
or are you talking to me?

[Dan laughs]

Love you, Mom.

[Parker] I like how
she obviously doesn't know
what Rinconada is.

[Parker] I like how
she obviously doesn't know
what Rinconada is.

No, she hasn't got a clue.

She's like, "Oh, have fun,
stay close to the doctor."

Tell her not to Google it.

[narrator] Located almost high
as Everest base camp,

the modern-day gold rush town
is virtually lawless

and has one of the highest
murder rates per capita

in the world.

[Christian speaking]

[Dan] Sorry, what did you say
happened last time?

Yeah.

[narrator] Along with
the police escort,

undercover agents are embedded
amongst the team.

[Diego] Ready?

-[Dan] Ready.
-[Tyler] They're all standing

with their hands
on the guns, hey?

[Parker] Hope they can get
a gun out of the holster

faster than getting
in the car.

[Dan] Go, go, go!

[Tyler] Do I need a machete?

Probably one of the most
aggressive places
I've ever been in my life.

Probably one of the most
aggressive places
I've ever been in my life.

[Tyler] They, um, said that

the road's pretty dangerous
getting up there, hey?

[Diego] It is.

Did they mean dangerous
as in, like,

it's huge cliffs, drops,
some things like that?

Or people dangerous?

Both. Mostly people dangerous.

There's a couple of dead roads

that appear out of nowhere
in the main road.

-Okay.
-Where usually the bandits
intercept people.

Bandits?

-[Diego] Yeah.
-Banditos.

Turn around.

I was really anxious
about Rinconada.

I was really anxious
about Rinconada.

It was obviously really hard
to see

and it was very confronting.

Rinconada is like nothing
I've ever seen.

It's a nightmare.

Full of people that are trying
to earn a crust,

and finding those tiny little
bits of gold just to survive.

[Tyler] The police said that

someone goes missing
every single day here.

-[Diego] Yeah.
-[Dan] What?

[Tyler] Every single day
there's a missing person
report.

[Parker] This is
a [bleep] terrible place.

Just from, like, a human
and environmental standpoint,

it felt a bit like, um...

it felt a bit like, um...

Hell seems too harsh.

But near there.

Do you see all the mercury
in there?

[Dan] Whoa!

This is environmentally,
like, horrific.

-[Dan] Is it?
-Oh, yeah.

[Parker] The same time
I say that, like,

I'm actually
really impressed with

the people in Rinconada.

They're living at 17,000 feet
on the side of a glacier,

blowing [bleep] up underground
with no ventilation.

If anything goes wrong,
you're dead.

And I'm guessing that's
a common occurrence.

[Dan] Right, so we get
in there.

[narrator] Danny and Parker
are invited to go

deep into the mountain mine.

[in Spanish]

Here we go, Parker.

Let's go in
the belly of the beast.

[narrator] In La Rinconada,

around 35,000 miners
risk their lives
working underground.

around 35,000 miners
risk their lives
working underground.

[stutters] I like adrenaline.

[conversing in Spanish]

[Dan] Parker,
how dangerous is this?

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

Boom!

And I think
letting off those charges...

I've never set explosives off
with a lighter before.

...in the side of that hill...

Everything about this
feels wrong.

It was awesome
working with you guys.

I really enjoyed working with
you. John. Thanks, Robin.

Could you send my arm to
my Nan,

my foot to my uncle.

[laughs]

[Parker] You ready, Dan?

Lighting those caps
and then seeing it fizzle

all the way
up to the top, unbelievable.

[speaking in Spanish]

Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos.
Let's go.

-[distant explosion]
-[men] Ooh!

There's so many dangers there.

That might be the coolest
thing we've ever done.

[Dan] I know, mate.

And yet
it's pretty inspirational

at the same time,
with these people

at the same time,
with these people

that are just, you know,

putting their bodies
on the line

to just get
a small amount of gold.

I don't know if there's
a good translation for this,

but you guys are the most
hardcore mother [bleep]

I think I've ever met.

[Diego] Yeah, there is.
Let me say that again.

[Diego translating]
[bleeping]

[Parker] Muchas gracias.

[narrator]
The mining is insane.

[Diego] Parker, they wanna
show us the gold they have.

[Parker] Oh.

[narrator] But the gold
is enormous.

Oh, look.

Oh, look.

[narrator] Each year,

almost 80,000 ounces
are extracted,

worth $130 million.

The amount of gold that's come
out of that mountain
is insane.

[Parker] So wild.

It's exciting to see potential
like that.

But at the same time,

from, like, a human

and an environmental
standpoint,

I don't think so.

[Diego] Would you ever mine
in Rinconada?

[Parker] No, there's no way.

There's absolutely no way.

Hard pass.

Hard pass.

[narrator] Coming up...

I shut the door
and that's all I did!

[Parker] Danny's stuck
in the toilet.

[Tyler] Danny, smash it.

Smash it with your shoulder.

[Tyler laughs]

[Dan] What's he showing you?

[video plays on cell phone]

We're watching some Gold Rush.

[Dan laughs]

This is me talking.

That sounds nothing like you.

[Spanish translator speaking]

Tell him that he sounds
nothing like Parker.

Tell him that he sounds
nothing like Parker.

[Parker] Right there is good.

[narrator] While travelling
South America...

[Parker] Perfecto!

Perfecto.

[narrator]
...miner Parker Schnabel

I'm excited.

[narrator] ...searches for
a needle in a haystack.

A claim worth more than
$100 million in gold.

[Parker] Gracias.

[narrator] And if that
wasn't hard enough,

he does it
with almost no ability

he does it
with almost no ability

to speak the native language.

[in Spanish]

I think I'm doing
what he wants me to do,

but he doesn't understand
a word of English,

and I don't understand

more than about five words
of Spanish.

So we've got
quite the language barrier.

The extent of my Spanish is
how to order a beer.

Cerveza, por favor.

Cerveza, por favor.

And I know some swear words.

Do you know
how to speak Spanish?

[in Spanish]

I speak a little bit.

I love when Danny speaks
the Spanish so confidently
to locals,

and then the locals look at
Diego for a translation.

and then the locals look at
Diego for a translation.

I've spent a lot of time in
Spanish-speaking countries.

Don't speak to me in anything
other than Spanish,
the whole trip.

So I understand it
pretty well.

What's, um...

What's "What is?"

-Huh?
-"What is."

-Que es.
-[Dan] Huh?

-Que es.
-[Dan] Es?

-Que.
-Ae.

-[Parker] Que.
-Que.

-[Dan] Que.
- Que es.

[Dan] Que es.

I think my Spanish
is really coming on.

I think I can get by,
actually. I can get by.

[Dan trying to speak Spanish]

[Dan trying to speak Spanish]

Guy with the axe.

-With the agua?
- [Tyler] The water.

-Agua.
-With the...

No?

Enough to sort of stumble
and trip my way
through a conversation.

I have no ability to
learn a language.

Let's leave the Spanish
to Diego here.

But if you're actually trying
to find

some world-class ground,

you have to go where
nobody else goes.

[Dan] Mind your head.

[Dan] Mind your head.

[Parker]
We're definitely getting

some spiders
and snakes in this [bleep].

-[Parker yells] Tyler!
-[Tyler] Don't! [bleep] you.

If it was easy, there would be
no gold there.

[narrator] In order to find
the best gold-rich ground
to invest in...

Welcome to the jungle.

[narrator] ... Parker explores
the remotest places.

-[Parker yells]
-[bleeping]

[narrator] Bringing him
and the team...

We have a broom, I can get it
out with a broom.

[narrator] ... face to face...

[Dan] Do not drop that
on my butt.

[narrator] ... with some of the
most dangerous creatures...

We don't have fish
with teeth in Alaska.

We don't have fish
with teeth in Alaska.

[narrator]
...in South America.

[Parker] Without a doubt
there's still some

just extremely phenomenal
ground out there.

And, you know,
we're not gonna find it

driving around
the Yukon in Alaska.

We're gonna find it next to
a caiman-infested pond

in the middle of the jungle.

-[Parker] Hey, Dan?
-[Dan] Yes?

I think I found a dragon.

[Dan chuckles] What?

[Tyler] Oh, my [bleep].

[narrator] In Peru's jungle...

[narrator] In Peru's jungle...

[Parker] It's a dragon.

[narrator]
...Parker and the team
encountered caiman,

which can grow
up to 13 feet in length.

-[Parker laughing]
-[Dan] That is so cool.

[Parker] I like the jungle.

'Cause it just doesn't give
a [bleep].

[narrator] And must avoid
over 30 species
of venomous snakes.

[Diego] Expect to find
a shushupe.

What's that?

Which is the biggest
venomous snake in the world.

A shushupe?

Shushupe,
that's really aggressive.

-Aggressive?
-Yeah, it will chase you.

-Aggressive?
-Yeah, it will chase you.

[snake hissing]

What's the size
of these shushupes?

They can grow
up to four meters.

-What?
-Four meters?

-[Dan] Twelve, 13 feet.
-[Tyler] That's scary.

Yeah, they're big.

[Dan] Snake central.

Yeah, there's a lot of snakes
in Peru.

[narrator] But it's
the smallest jungle creatures

that cause
the greatest concern.

Almost anywhere we go
there were spiders,
there were centipedes.

-[Dan] Is that a baddie?
-[Parker] I mean, I wouldn't
wanna [bleep] with it.

-Or caterpillars.
-[Dan] Oh, hello.

-Or caterpillars.
-[Dan] Oh, hello.

What?

[Parker] Get it off me.

[Dan] There it is.

-[Parker] Get it off me.
-[Dan] Oh, [bleep]. Ew!

Dan?

-Dan?
-I don't wanna touch it.

[narrator] South America
is a home to

the world's
deadliest caterpillar,

the lonomia obliqua.

Nicknamed
"the assassin caterpillar,"

one brush
of its venomous spikes

can kill a human.

[Diego] They look beautiful,
but they're dangerous.

[Diego] They look beautiful,
but they're dangerous.

-[Parker] Dan! Dan!
-[Dan] It's going, it's
getting closer to your neck.

[Dan] There!

-Wait, where is it?
-[Dan] It's gone.

[narrator] And the team's
biggest worry?

-[Dan] Dude.
-[Parker] What?

[Dan] You just got to be
a little bit on the look out

with the old flippy flops on.

[narrator] Parasites.

Is there something
on Parker's foot?

I haven't checked it.
It's a possibility.

So why are you gonna
stick your hand up his ass?

[narrator] As the team treks
through the Bolivian jungle,

[narrator] As the team treks
through the Bolivian jungle,

Parker thinks he's picked up
an unwanted visitor.

[Parker] Something burrowed
its way into my foot.

Diego, do you think it's
something alive in there?

I need to open it first.

Okay. Once you open it,
will you know?

-Yeah.
-What could it be, Diego?

A parasite.

[Parker] Oh, [bleep],
I'm scared.

What if it's, like,
a big old worm?

It's, like, that long?

So much comes with the jungle.

[Parker] I want you to chop

my whole [bleep] foot off,
honestly.

[Diego] Yeah, I'm only gonna
do what's necessary.

[Parker] I think
it's necessary.

I'd rather have no foot than
something living in there.

You know, you have
to check yourself regularly

for ticks, for parasites.

[Parker] I check
my scrotum daily

when I'm in the jungle.

Twice, thrice a day actually.

'Cause I'm happy
to lose a foot.

I'm not happy to lose testes.

[Dan] We're putting
our bodies, like,
through the mill.

So that environment
can be dangerous.

So that environment
can be dangerous.

[narrator] One of the most
feared jungle parasites

is the bot fly,

whose larvae
burrow into human hosts

and grow beneath their skin.

[Dan yelps]
[bleep]

-Is it in--
-[bleep] off.

Is it in your pants?

[Dan] I think it might be
in my trousers.

Ahhh! It is in my trousers.

What is it?

[Dan] [bleep] something
stinging me.

Take your pants off.

Certainly, insect wise,
I'm not...

Certainly, insect wise,
I'm not...

you know,
the idea of having a bot fly

sort of poking
its little antennae

at the back of my head
is not one

that I'm really
massively keen on.

Oh, man!

Do it.

[Dan] Can you see it?

Hold on.

Hold on.

Where? Where?

[Dan] [bleep] off. If it goes
in my [bleep] pants

and starts biting my nuts,
I'm not gonna be happy.

and starts biting my nuts,
I'm not gonna be happy.

[Parker] I don't see it.

[Dan] I'm not showing you
any more, I--

[Parker] What do you want me
to do, Dan?

[Dan] Well, I don't need you
staring at my [bleep]--

[Parker] Just pull
your underwear down.

[Dan] I don't want you
staring at my...

[Parker] You think I wanna
look at your [bleep] ass?

You know you're gonna end up
in some sticky situations.

-[Parker] Dan!
-[Dan] I'd rather let it
bite my ass

than you staring at my...

[Parker] You think I want
to look at your ass?

How does that make any sense?

I'm offering to look at
your [bleep] nasty ass.

I'm offering to look at
your [bleep] nasty ass.

You probably have
swamp ass going on
right now in the jungle.

-[Dan] It's all right, okay?
-[Parker] And you're getting
mad at me?

You could... You know,
you feel a bit anxious.

[Parker] You're saying that
like I want to look
at your ass.

[Dan] Well, I think
you might do.

-I'm not sure of your motives.
-[Parker laughs]

I think that happens
for a reason.

You're a bit anxious,
you're a bit nervous,

but I think that's just
your body telling you
to get ready because...

there's some serious action
coming your way.

It has been a [bleep]
cool trip, hasn't it? Yeah.

Yeah.

[bleep] killer.

But, been a good trip.

[narrator] Gold miner
Parker Schnabel

is travelling Peru and Bolivia
in the search for gold.

Oh, my [bleep]

The most gold we've seen
this whole trip.

[Parker] Yeah, good trip,
good people.

Good people behind
the camera too.

Like, there's lightning
behind you.

There's [bleep] thunder
everywhere. Dan!

[Tyler] Hang on, hang on,
hang on. [bleep] quick,
quick, quick.

[Tyler] Hang on, hang on,
hang on. [bleep] quick,
quick, quick.

[narrator] Adventure cameraman
Danny Etheridge

has over 20 years
field experience.

[Tyler] Ah!

[Tyler gasping]

I'm off to go and film sharks
in the Bahamas after this.

[narrator] But in the wilds
of South America...

[bleep] Ow.

[narrator] . ..even this
veteran crew member
is pushed...

[Dan] My foot's
stuck there. Ahhh!

[narrator] ...to his limits.

[narrator] ...to his limits.

I'll be brutally honest.

I was actually
really, really nervous

before the beginning
of this trip.

Really nervous.

Because when you're searching
for ground,

you know, you're encountering

potentially dangerous people.

[speaking in Spanish]

-[man 1] You have to leave.
-[man 2 shouts]

Um, dangerous areas.

-[Tyler] Oh.
-[Dan] [bleep] hell.

-[Diego] Are you okay?
-[Dan] Oh, man.

-[Diego] Are you okay?
-[Dan] Oh, man.

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

[Tyler] Oh, [bleep].

I knew it was gonna be tough,
I knew it was gonna be hard.

But, um, yeah, I don't think
anybody could have

ever prepared themselves

for what we ended up
going through.

Danny is stuck in the toilet.

[narrator] In week four,
while attempting

to cross the border

from Peru into Bolivia...

-[knocking on door]
-I shut the door
and that's all I did.

-[knocking on door]
-I shut the door
and that's all I did.

[narrator] ... Danny faces
an unforeseen obstacle.

[Tyler] Danny, smash it.
Smash it with your shoulder.

Just smash it, Dan.

[Tyler] No, don't destroy it.

We're gonna get kicked out
of Bolivia

before even making it
in there.

Are we in Bolivia?

-[Diego] No.
-You think there's a vent tube

I can fart in up top?

-[Parker] Can you slide
something in against the lock?
-[Dan] What do you mean?

[Parker] You know how
a door knob works, Dan?

[Dan] No. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay, hang on, hang on.

Dan, do you have
a credit card?

[Dan] Yeah, yeah,
I've got one, I've got one.

[Dan] Yeah, yeah,
I've got one, I've got one.

-[Parker] Do you know
what I'm saying?
-[Dan] Yes, I know

-what you're saying.
-[Parker] Have you tried
that yet?

[Dan] I'm about to!

[Tyler laughs]

-Dan, I'm [bleep] sitting
here helping you.
-[Dan] You're not.

You're talking to me like
I'm a knob.

You're the one locked
in a [bleep] toilet.

You are a knob.

[Tyler] Yes!

[Tyler laughs]

[Dan] Thanks, man. Thank you.

That was a good advice.
[bleep] come on, come on.

Don't shut it, don't shut it.

Thanks.

Thanks.

-Starting to panic.
-[Tyler] Good job.

[Dan] Look at that.

That's... that's the worst bit
of filming I've ever done
in my life but it's...

[Parker laughs] I was like,
"Dan, come over here,
I've got [bleep]."

[Dan] Dude,
I've got really bad feet.

I have my feet by the fire.

[Parker] Oh, [bleep].
Are you okay?

Danny got a little light...

trench foot.

[Dan sighs]

-[Dan] Hey, Diego.
-[Diego] Hi.

-[Dan] How's it going?
-[Diego] I'm fine.
How are you?

-[Dan] How's it going?
-[Diego] I'm fine.
How are you?

[Dan] Slightly embarrassed.

You know, I've been to a lot
of jungles and I've, you know,

never really been
that ill in them.

-[Dan] That's trench foot,
isn't it?
-Yup.

[Dan] Oh, [bleep].
That really [bleep] hurts.

Just feels like a burn.

-I need to clean
that for you.
-[Dan] Yeah.

But when you do get
unwell in a jungle...

You're scaring
me with that knife, Diego.

Oh, my God.
Is that a scrubbing brush?

...then you start to worry.

You don't want
it to get worse.

-This is clean, clean, clean.
-Clean. Brilliant.

Excellent.

-[Diego] Take a break,
take a break.
-It's good.

-[Diego] You're shaking man.
Take a break.
-No.

[Dan chuckles softly]

I don't think my feet have
ever been this clean.

Then he had some sort of
infection or something that...

you know, gave him a fever.

What's wrong, Dan?

[Diego] Your temperature
is 103.

Yeah, fevers are rubbish.

It was, like, pretty bad.

[Dan] So, I had a rough night.
I was like...

This bed was [bleep] drenched.

You know, I hate being ill.

It's literally
my number one thing.

I cannot stand it.

[Diego] You're gonna breathe
through your mouth, okay?

[Dan] Okay.

[Diego] Just take it easy.
Don't force yourself

-too much, okay?
-[Dan] Yeah.

That was the big challenge
for me. Being sick.

That was the big challenge
for me. Being sick.

Where's the pain you told me?

Just right through there.

Scared to cough 'cause
it [bleep] hurts so much.

And I needed Diego
to come and be my crutch.

I mean, he was really sick.

And we were in a malaria sun,
like, weeks ago.

And malaria is considered
an emergency.

You wanna stand
like that with your hands

-on your hips.
-[Dan] Like this?

[man] Yes.

[Dan] When you have
something like malaria,

you can end up with
fluid in your lungs,

and I'm not breathing
brilliantly at the moment,

and I'm not breathing
brilliantly at the moment,

and, um, that's,
I think, fired

a little bit of an alarm bell
in Diego's head.

-[Diego] This is your
X-ray. This is your chest.
-[Dan] Yeah.

I was absolutely petrified
that it was

something that was gonna
end the trip for me.

[Diego] The pain was here.
I cannot see anything here.

-Everything looks fine.
-[Dan] Awesome.

Diego, man, let's go.
Cheers dude.

[Dan] Tyler was ill,
I was ill,

but it was, like, obviously

really sort of battering
us physically.

But despite them being

down for the count,
I had, like,

down for the count,
I had, like,

one of my top days ever.

[narrator] In Guanay, Parker
is the only member of the team

able to continue.

One of the biggest
highlights for me was,

um, seeing the dredges
and getting to run

the 1,100, which is
a 110-ton machine.

[narrator] The 1,100 Excavator
is the biggest machine
Parker has ever operated.

[narrator] The 1,100 Excavator
is the biggest machine
Parker has ever operated.

I'm definitely over the moon
right now. I know
half the crew is out sick.

Uh, maybe
a little bit selfish,

but we're here to find gold,

and, uh, this is really cool.

I can't believe they're
letting me do this. I would...

never let some stranger
show up even if I watched
them on TV.

Well, I don't know.

Maybe.

Like, you know...

If Matthew McConaughey
showed up at my mine site,

I'll probably let him do
anything he wanted, but...

I'll probably let him do
anything he wanted, but...

for the most part,
this is [bleep] nuts.

I...

You know, almost
a quarter-million-pound
excavator on a barge

feeding a wash pan
on another barge.

This is
the weirdest thing I've...

I think I've ever done.

Just never even thought
that this was a thing
that was possible.

Like, that's very cool.

Hey, Tom, that was
one of the coolest
things I've ever done.

Hey, Tom, that was
one of the coolest
things I've ever done.

They're making money
in the middle of nowhere

because they're mining smart.

We've done a lot of [bleep]
these trips, but, like,

I don't think anything
compares to this.

This takes the cake.

[drums and trumpets playing]

You know, you do take a lot
away from these trips.

But you also leave...

something behind too, right?

-[Diego] You ready
for a surprise?
-[Dan] Surprise?

-[horn honking]
-[Parker] You know
I don't like surprises, Diego.

-[indistinct announcement]
-[Dan] What is this?

[narrator] While hunting
for a new claim

in South America...

What the...

What the...

[Tyler and Dan] Oh!

[narrator]
...Parker and the team

check out
a unique local attraction

in the capital city, La Paz.

-[Dan] Ooh.
-[Tyler] Ohhh!

I would not get
in a fight with her.

[narrator]
All female wrestlers...

[Dan] Jeez.

[narrator] ...known as
Cholitas Luchadoras.

-Ahh!
-[Dan] No!

-[Dan] Oh, my [bleep]!
-[crowd whistling]

[Dan] What the hell?
What's going on?

[narrator] Based on
Mexican Lucha Libre,

[narrator] Based on
Mexican Lucha Libre,

it's part theatrical fight
and part morality play.

-[Dan] That's right.
-[Tyler] Whoo!

Oh, my God, that was great.

They train three times a week.

-What?
-Really?

[crowd cheering]

And they're capable,
they're strong.

They can do acrobatics.

They are tough.

That was the most mental
experience ever.

Yeah!

Honestly, if I see
something else

Honestly, if I see
something else

as exciting as that
for the rest of this trip,

I will be very happy.

You're cheating, ref!

-[Dan] Oh, God.
-[Tyler] Okay.

[Dan] Ohhh!

Every trail has been
a real big adventure.

None bigger than this one.

Look at that.

[narrator] But to be in with
a chance of finding gold,

they need to look further
to the past.

Almost anywhere we go
there was...

Inca culture involved.

[Diego speaking]

[Diego speaking]

[Dan] La Mamacha.

-[Diego] Father
and Grandmother.
-[Dan and Tyler] Ah.

-[Diego] Yeah, yeah.
-[Tyler] Why the alcohol?

[Diego] It's like a gift

because they believe
that they...

This couple like...

-a little drink.
-[Tyler] They like to drink.

[Diego] So they leave here
bottles of alcohol,

so they get blessed and they
can find gold in the mine.

I think maybe she might have
drunk a little bit too much.

-Looking a bit dehydrated.
-[Tyler] Blissful with that...

Yeah, the Incan history
in this area is really cool.

Yeah, the Incan history
in this area is really cool.

[Dan] Where are
you taking us, Diego?

[Diego] To the witch market.

[narrator] Willing to
try anything

to get on the gold,

the crew resort to witchcraft.

[Diego] There's a market here
known for a sorceress

who use a black hat

and have potions
and stuff like that.

-Oh, really?
-[Diego] Yeah.

[Tyler] This is right
up my alley.

-[Diego] This is?
-Yes.

I need some new spells.

It's such a diverse place
out here.

-[Diego] Hola.
-Hola.

[Diego] Como estas?

We need to find gold
and we need to stay

healthy and safe.

healthy and safe.

[Diego speaking Spanish]

[bell ringing]

[Tyler] That's really cool.

And all of that has just been
so incredibly fascinating.

[in Spanish]

[narrator] And if some sorcery
wasn't enough...

[Diego in Spanish]

[narrator] ...they follow
local custom
with a car blessing

before prospecting in Bolivia.

[Diego in Spanish]

-[In English] There's gold
everywhere in Bolivia.
-[Dan] Hell yeah.

-This is exactly what we need.
-[Diego] Seems like
a good blessing.

-[man] Muy bien.
-[Dan] It's with beer.

-[Tyler] What?
-[Diego] Yeah. [chuckles]

[in Spanish]

[in Spanish]

[Dan] My camera's
covered in beer.

It's been a very unique,

one-off,
once-in-a-lifetime trip.

[in Spanish]

[all laughing]

There's just so much
that happened.

-[Dan] It was
actually amazing.
-[Tyler] That was great.

[Parker] We're blessed.

If we find tons of gold

then I'm dragging
this guy to the Yukon.

then I'm dragging
this guy to the Yukon.

I lost quite a bit of money
in Alaska this year,

and when I've been on this
trip I keep thinking, like,

"How far would that money
have gone in this place?"

-Is there a lot
of gold in there?
-[man in Spanish]

-Seriously?
-[Diego] Yeah, one gram
per cart.

Holy [bleep].

That's really good gold.

From what we've seen
so far, it's pretty untapped.

[Dan] What's that
compared to the Yukon?

-[Parker] Four times better.
-[Dan] Really?

That's probably the best
gram I've seen on this trip.

[narrator] Parker discovers
that the gold

in South America...

Looks like a lot.

[narrator] . ..may be unlike

anywhere else in the world.

90% of mining is exploration.

Yes, I'll see you
in 2070, Dan.

But this probably
is the one with
the most potential.

Whoa. 50 grams.

[Parker] Well, I think
we're in the right place.

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

We saw more gold
in South America
than I expected.

Wow. There you go.

Stoked.

And it was just, like,
out of this world.

-[Dan] Beautiful.
-[Tyler] Yep.

It's a good piece.

Oh, my [bleep]!

Seeing gold is something

which strikes
to your very core,

and there's absolutely
no doubt about it.

Goodness me.

It's borderline spiritual,
I would say.

It's borderline spiritual,
I would say.

They're quite chunky bits.

No [bleep]!

I mean, I've been getting more
and more excited whenever
we're finding gold.

-[Dan] Look at that.
-[man] Mucho oro.

I don't know if I could
call it a gold fever.

Wow. Loads of it.

I would have never imagined
that gold is just everywhere.

But I still think
finding good gold

was fantastic.

I have one fear,

and I think
it's a little bit irrational,

but I have a fear of
big animals like jaguars.

[narrator] South America
is home to a world
of creatures, big...

-[Parker] Tapir.
-[Diego] Whoo!

-[Dan] That is awesome.
-[Tyler] Huge.

[narrator] ...and small.

-[Parker] Very hot.
-[Dan chuckles]

[Parker] No. Uh-oh.

[bleep] thing pissed on me.

Gold mining is all I know,
so it kinda make sense

to make
investments in something

that you know really well.

Yeah.

And we have to be ready to
open up the check book, right?

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

[narrator] After eight weeks

and over 1,900 miles
of travel...

No gold.

-[Dan] Ah.
-[Parker] So we should
keep looking.

[narrator] ... Parker finds
a potential
investment opportunity.

[Dan] Oh, yeah.

There we go. Oh, look,
that is beautiful gold.

There we go. Oh, look,
that is beautiful gold.

Seven hours was processed
in that ground.

So it's like an ounce
per 100 yards.

That's very cool.

[narrator] Following two
months on the road,

on the eve of making
his final decision,

it's time for Parker
to take stock.

I'd like to think that Cancio
is a good guy that's honest.

And, um...

it wouldn't be...

money down the toilet.

[Diego] If you don't risk,
you don't win.

It's the time
and the place for, um...

some money to be put down.

What I want to propose

is just, like,
it's very simple.

Um, I'd like
to put up $25,000.

-So does he wanna do it?
-[Diego in Spanish]

[narrator] But before Parker
can seal the deal...

[Diego] He's worried about
not knowing how far
this could go.

[Diego] He's worried about
not knowing how far
this could go.

Then we should probably

boot all these cameras out of
here and go somewhere...

more private.

[narrator] ...he has to earn
Cancio's trust.

[Parker] I don't know if
you're listening but I have

no idea where this is going.

[Diego] First, um,

he's saying that they have
been really excited about
having you here,

but they also know that
you're deadly serious
when you do something.

but they also know that
you're deadly serious
when you do something.

-[Parker] Of course.
-[Diego] Because they have
been following you

on the TV for years already.

[Cancio in Spanish]

[Diego] So, um,
this is reality.

He's trying to make a living
and they work only with people

they trust like family
and friends.

-[Parker] Yeah.
-[Diego] So they wanna know

if all the people here
is people they can trust.

[Parker] Yeah. 100%.

[Diego in Spanish]

[Parker] And the last thing
that any of us want

that are here, both, you know,

us and the film crew,

us and the film crew,

the last thing any of us want
is to have

any sort of negative impact

on the way that they
make a living.

[Diego speaking Spanish]

[Parker] It's basically like,
he's gambling in that hole,

and I wanna gamble with him.

[Diego speaking Spanish]

[Parker] And I, I want...

it to be filmed
if he's all right with that.

[Diego speaking Spanish]

-[Cancio] Gracias.
-[Parker] Muy bien.

[indistinct conversation]

-What's happening?
-[Tyler] Hello.

-Hmm.
-[Parker] We just talked about

life on TV and not letting
it screw up your family
and stuff like that.

Something I'm not
very good at.

We didn't talk
about any deals.

-[Dan] You didn't?
-Mmm-mmm.

We're gonna do that now.

-So does he wanna do it?
-[Diego in Spanish]

[Tyler] Aw.

Sounds like a deal.

[Diego speaking Spanish]

-[Cancio] Si.
-[Parker] Perfecto.

[Cancio] Perfecto.

It's a beautiful coincidence

that at the end of the trip,

that at the end of the trip,

we found a really good ground
to mine.

So...

that's like the golden seal

for the end
of the trip, right?

[Cancio in Spanish]

[Parker] Gracias.

-[Cancio speaking]
-[all laughing]

We've achieved every
single goal and, uh,

yeah, it's been a relentless
rollercoaster of emotion,

and... and, uh, pain,
sometimes, and fun,

and, uh, that always adds up
to... to a really cool trip.

and, uh, that always adds up
to... to a really cool trip.

-I'm excited.
-[Diego in Spanish]

I'm so curious
what's down there.

[Diego in Spanish]

We go on these trails
around the world

to try and find places
that are untapped.

We tried to do that
in Alaska and we failed,

um, and I think Tupiza
could be that next place.

[speaking Spanish]

[Parker] Not only...

do I feel like it's time
for me to start

taking some gambles
and taking some risks

taking some gambles
and taking some risks

and starting to invest
in some other operations,

but we've actually
found a place

to do that,
and that needs that.

-[Cancio] Diego.
-[Diego] For Tyler.

-For Diego.
-[all murmuring]

[Parker] But, um...

I don't know
what's gonna happen next.

I don't know if
we're ever gonna

do a trip like this again.

But I'm glad we came here.
