I can see we're in some kind of ancient chamber. The walls are literally glistening with crystal formations. Menos mal que trajiste esa linterna. Oh, wow. Eso fue intenso. So, just so you guys know what's happening, we just surfaced in this dark underground chamber. That swim was... It was incredible, but I wasn't sure you'd make it through. But here we are. The water's freezing. But at least we can breathe. We should take a moment to...

catch our breath in this mysterious cave. Ana, tomemos un momento para recuperarnos. Meanwhile, I got some great vocab to impart. Remember to repeat after me out loud in the gaps.

Do you remember the word for it in Spanish? It's...

La oscuridad. La oscuridad. Here's a tip to help you recall. Everything becomes obscure in the darkness. La oscuridad. 3. How do you say the pressure in Spanish? Here's a hint. Think about how pressure is created by pressing. The word is la presión, which means the pressure. La. Número cuatro. Salir a la superficie. Número cinco. To run out of air is quedarse sin aire. quedarse sin aire. To run out of air, as we almost did, is to...

Cap, mira, apunta la luz hacia allá. ¿Dónde? Ah, I can't believe what I'm seeing. The torchlight is catching hundreds, hundreds of golden reflections.

Ancient artifacts scattered across the rocky shore. El tesoro de Guatavita. Por fin lo encontramos. Ana, lo decimos. Lo decimos, Ana. My heart is racing as we wade closer. The legends, they were true. Ceremonial masks, delicate figurines. Everything just as the diary described. Ana, we did it. Yo, hay algo que necesito decirte. I can hear footsteps. They're inside the cave. Cap, tenemos que movernos. Ahora. The voices are getting closer. We need to find another way out of here. And fast.

Viajeros, we'll continue our lesson once we figure out how to escape with this treasure. Hasta la próxima! Acast recommends. What is the strangest thing you've ever bought from Amazon? I'm Tom Price, and in my podcast, my mate bought a toaster. I explore the weird and wonderful internet orders of my guests to tell their life story. Who knew Stephen Merchant bought this?
