We got an exclusive authorization to enter before everyone else and show you some different images. What a privilege! Look at that! The drone is following us all the way. It’s very beautiful! The view is impressive. Today we are in Katoomba, a city close to Sydney. We are in a hotel called The Mountain Heritage, and about to have a great day. We came here to explore The Blue Mountains. It is a national park with many beautiful mountain regions, valleys and also very curious rock formations. We woke up very early and are going to have a very good breakfast. However, we cannot stay here for too long, because we have several special and exclusive things to do today. We decided to stay here for two nights and show you everything. We arrived at this hotel yesterday. If you haven’t seen this video yet, click here, because it’s really cool. You can see how to get here by train, what this hotel is like, why we chose it, the beautiful views of the place, and many other things. You can’t miss it! By th way, don’t forget to leave your Like on this video. And of course, if you are not subscribed to the channel, do it after you finish watching. Share it with friends, because there is a lot of cool stuff coming up. Let’s go. Starting the day here in the Blue Mountains and look, we are already in front of the Scenic Word, this park here. You can see the entrance to the park is closed, there is no one here yet. But we are already here for a very special reason. We got an exclusive authorization to enter before everyone else and show you some different images. What a privilege! We are going inside to record these images, and you will go with us. Look where we are now. We are in the place of the Scenic World with the most beautiful view of the park, because you have a panorama, come here Tiago, I want to get closer, I want to be right on the edge here, because from here you have a privileged view of these three rocks called Three Sisters. They are called Three Sisters due to a legend about these three rocks, that I am going to tell you now. It is said that there were three very beautiful sisters from the Katoomba tribe, which fell in love with three brothers from a rival tribe. Imagine a Romeo and Juliet times three!!! Because of that forbidden love, there was a war between those two tribes, which was really serious. But, there was a wizard, a healer from the Katoomba tribe, who noticed that the lives of the three sisters were in great danger. Guess what he did then? He turned the three sisters into three rocks, so they would be safe. He said: when everything is over, when everything is resolved, I’ll come back, turn the rocks into people, and everything will be back to normal again. The problem was that this healer, this wizard, died during the war between the tribes, so the sisters are like rocks until today here in the Blue Mountains National Park. It’s a very interesting legend, but what really matters is that the Three Sisters simply enchant this landscape, and we can stay here enjoying this beautiful view for hours. Besides, the formation is intriguing. Be honest, have you ever seen rocks like that, side by side, three little points??? It’s beautiful, indeed. Just one last information, they are 900 meters above sea level! Do you remember that I told you that we would do some exclusive things in the park today? This is one of them, the Skyway, a suspended cable car, in the middle of the valley. And we are having a ride before everyone else. It is the test trip of the day, and you are following it with us. There are some parts closed with glass, and others, like this one behind me, completely open. You are seeing these images from the inside part, but there are others from the outside, that Fabio is taking with the drone. Let’s find the drone and show you. Where is it? And then, another exclusive thing for you. We stopped halfway. Usually this is a continuous journey, from one side of the valley straight the other, but not this time. We stopped here, in the middle of the way, to show you where we are. It’s a wonderful place indeed. There is no better word to describe it. You can see everything, because the drone is following us all the way. It’s very beautiful! And impressive view! There is a waterfall, a gigantic valley! Let’s say goodbye to the drone, and appreciate this fantastic view. You are having this privilege to accompany us around this place while it’s still empty, look, nobody here, so let’s take the chance to admire every corner of this beautiful valley in Scenic World. Enjoy the images then. Remember when I said that Fabio was on the other side of the valley, controlling the drone to record the images? He’s here, look. We’ve arrived! Look at him back here, the drone is landing and we are back. Did you enjoy this trip with us? The day is just beginning, there is much more. I can hear the drone’s noise. It’s here, look. It’s coming… coming… and we’re coming too, to the end of this trip. It’s time to have a ride on a different car, at Scenic Railway. This is the most inclined passenger train in the world, 52° to go down the valley. It’s really cool, because you can choose among several routes. We decided to go down with this car and go up with the Cable Car. You keep going around on the rides making your own route inside the Scenic World. So, let’s take the Scenic Railway and go to the bottom of the valley now. There is a sign here, saying that this is the most inclined passenger car in the world, and that it exists since 1878. Previously, it was created to take the workers to the bottom of the mine and come back. On the weekends, it was used by the population. Today it’s a big attraction here. OK, Let’s gol! I’m ready, come on! Naturally, we are going to take the first car, in order to show you the inclination. There are two curious pieces of information to tell you. The first is that it takes two minutes to go down and two minutes to go up, so the whole journey lasts for about eight minutes, because there is also the time for people get in and go out the car. The second one is already on the drawing, show here Tiago, you can set the inclination of your car. There is the original inclination, 52°, as we said before, you can decrease this inclination, the car backwards, to 44 °, a little bit better, or you can face the adventure and push the car forward, to 64 ° of inclination. What do you think we’re going to do, Tiago? What do you want to do? Definitely little inclination! OK, little inclination! Press this button to change the car inclination. Laid-back, no! Let’s change! Of course we are not managing to lower the inclination, because it is already at the maximum level. We don’t notice it, because the level here is ok. When it starts moving, we’ll be looking down, it’s an abism. The image is weird because there is a protection net here, okay? It is not our fault. Up here there is no net. Is it possible to have an idea of how much it will fall? The door has just closed! It’s going to start! Let’s get ready then. Oh, My Goodness! Oh, My Goodness! It’s cool! It’s wonderful! Look at this view! Then it straightens here, and we’re done. It’s very steepy, but really nice! It finishes very quickly, could last a bit more! It looks like a roller coaster! Yes, it looks, indeed! The kids screaming loudly, it was wonderful. It really looked like a roller coaster! Very good. Now the car will go up. So, you can go as you prefer, down or up. In case you decide to go up, you will go like this, backwards. It must be exciting too! The car is leaving now, with the Indiana Jones song on the speakers, and the adventure begins, with everyone backwards, look! It starts slowly! Amazing! You are up there, the view is wonderful. Then, you get off the car here, and immediately see the Three Sisters from below. It’s so beautiful, it’s surreal. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to! Impressive! Now we are close to the forest, and will explore down here. We can see the treetops very close. The view of the valley is beautiful. Come with me to this little sign. I will show you some interesting things to do after going down with the Scenic Railway, the vertical roller coaster for us! There are several trails to choose. Some last 10 minutes, others last half an hour, 50 minutes, and more important, you have access to the National Park. You are here, if you turn to this side, this is the Scenic World exit, straight to the National Park. So, you can go there, once you have the Scenic World ticket. You walk through the National Park trails, and then you can come back, because you have this bracelet, that you get when you arrive at Scenic World. You can also take these transports to go up again, or you can choose to do all the trails inside the Scenic World. It’s a lot to explore. Of course we are going to do everything and show you. So, let’s walk now through the middle of the valley. We decided to go to the National Park first, because we want to see Katoomba Falls. . It’s possible to get very close to the beautiful waterfall. We are go there now, just a 15 minutes walk, very close. You can already hear the noise of the waterfall. After 15 minutes walking, we get to this point and cross above the waterfalls. There is still little water to see, and we have two options now, to continue the path, with two or three hours walk to get to the other side of the valley, or we can go back. We decided to go back for now and explore that part of Scenic World. After that we’ll cross the valley. We came here just to take a first look at this waterfall. You can hear it, but now we will go back to the Scenic World area. So, we are back to the bottom of the valley, and we can already see the entrance of some old mines. There are more than 40 of them, it’s about 100 km of tunnels. The last mine was deactivated in the 1930s, but the traces of it remained here. As you walk, you will see carts, tools, the tunnel entrances. It’s very interesting to visit this part here, and learn about the mineral exploration that took place in this area. Not to mention, the view of all this exuberant nature, of course. Are we just going to go down? Will we have to go up eventually? Setbacks? We have! In my defense, I wanted to say that I knew we were going to walk a lot, so I bought a new trail shoe to be ready! It’s destroying my foot! I had to stop to put on a band-aid, because I was no longer able to walk! Behind the scenes, you are seeing things that no one shows, I’m here, putting band-aids to be able to walk. We do everything for the video! In the middle of the trail, we reach this legitimate home for the miners. There are many utensils they used, like the stove here. It’s possible to have an idea of how life was at the time mines were active. Now let’s go up by the Scenic Cableway, another nice attraction. We are still down here, and are going to go up to cross the valley from above. As a matter of fact, it’s a cable car! Another cable car! Let’s go! We are already inside, and there is a person explaining everything. It’s basically made of glass, very beautiful. Let’s appreciate the view. The car is very spacious, there are several aisles and everyone will have a beautiful view. It moves fast, really cool, it’s worth going up and down more than once. Lunch break, and the coolest thing here in Scenic Word is that you have a good structure to have lunch here, you don’t have to go back to the hotel. And you don’t necessarily need to eat a hamburger, right? You choose what you want! We chose an Angus hamburger with caramelized onion. It looks good. There is also potato chips, soda. Price for you: $18.50, plus a soft drink, that comes in three sizes, 3, 4, or 5 dollars. You have a meal, recharge the batteries, and continue to explore this beautiful place. I swear that if I had space in my bag, and still didn’t have two months of travel ahead, would buy this cockatoo. It’s so cute, so beautiful, look at that, I love it, for sure I would buy. Ten minutes walking and you get to the Katoomba waterfall. For a moment I thought I was not going to make it, because it is very slippery. But I did! You can visit this whole area, take some photos, and go back to get very close to the Three Sisters. That’s what we are going to do now. Another 30 minutes of walking and we arrive at the main lookout point of the National Park, the Echo Point Lookout. Look at this, behind me. The Three Sisters, very close. So, do everything, ride in the cars, but don’t forget to come here, this view is unique, especially in the afternoon, when the sun hits the hills. It is an incredible landscape. Make sure to spare enough time to spend here, because you will not want to leave so soon. We have been here for several minutes, simply admiring this incredible landscape, and forgot the time. Let me tell you something, the view from the park is really beautiful, but when you get here, close to the Three Sisters, the scenery really changes, I don’t know if it is because you are seeing them closely, but it is stunning indeed! You really can’t miss this side of the National Park, it is too beautiful.
