- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ส.ค. 2021
- Our timing worked out perfectly, as we got to explore the beautiful city of Cusco on Peru’s Independence Day. The streets were lined with their national flag, and everyone was out and about celebrating the day away. Cusco has so much to offer, from local markets filled with bright, colorful produce, to Spanish baroque churches in its Plaza de Armas. We enjoyed the people, the cuisine, and the sparkling night lights, and everything about this city was purely charming. 🇵🇪
Follow along to see where we head next.

Peru is on my bucketlist of destinations 🙏 I am claiming it that I will be there soon! Can’t wait for your Macchu Picchu vlogs!
My girlfriend and I are currently in the planning phase for a peru trip. We don't have a return ticket to the US. I found your vlog and you guys are helpful in so many ways. Thank you
Will be there for a few nights in just 3 weeks. Can't wait. I am doing things a little different though. Upon landing in Cusco I will be getting immediate ground transportation to Ollantaytambo and spend some days there first. My idea is to adjust to the altitude incrementally.
Thanks for the videos!
In south America, nobody knows avocado as Aguacate, you gotta call it "Palta"
I did not think it possible, but you look even happier now than in the van!!! I'm so happy for y'all! Cusco is absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to see where's next! Safe travels!
It's new and exciting! We still miss the van from time to time though.
What a lovely city
Me & my husband loved your vlogs actually everything about you guys. No pretentious & down to earth. Thank you for sharing. Peru looks a nice place to venture. Please vlog more of your outdoor activities like your hiking we ourselves are avid hikers & running. We want to see what you would recommend in Peru. Stay safe!
Oh that would be awesome to hear about more hiking places!!
Perfect! We'll certainly keep that in mind!
I love Peru ...my favorite place Cusco.
I just discovered your videos and they are great. I agree with the previous comment that you both are cute, not pretentious and down to earth.. thanks for your videos!
Hi kids, wow so beautiful. The city, dancing , churches. The food deal, omg ! Night lights we’re awesome, I hope you get your yummy tomorrow 🙏. Great timing being there during there Independence Day 😊. Pink bananas ! My daughter just bought baby food for my granddaughter, the bananas were pink ! Now I’m going to look up the baby food maker, see if there from Peru 😊. The rock wall was very cool to see, the market was so colorful , the donut thing you had , yummm. Thanks again for the tour 🌸. Stay safe, have fun 😊
Wow, what terrific timing!! The drone shots are just incredible... :)
You guys are cute! I need to go to Peru now and use some of the Spanish I know! Way to follow the secret market trail! Those picarones look muuuuy bueno!!!!
Wow what a magical place so pretty 🌸🌸🌸🌸
WoW agreed!
Always wanted to go to Peru! Hopefully soon, after covid! Enjoy it!
covid is here to stay, better go soon. 🤣
Hi!!! Just discovered you! Love your videos. :) My fiancé and I want to visit South America next year for our Honeymoon and I want to go to Peru!! It looks amazing and so beautiful! Your video helps us ease our worries about visiting someplace that we do not really know anything about. :) thank you for your open-mindedness!
What a cool place to have your honeymoon! We had a wonderful time in South America, no doubt you will too!!
Definitely another great and informative video. Been watching Mark Wiens videos too! Thought you'll be doing some head tilting too eating those delish foods. 🤤
My wife and I live at Lima, Cusco is our favorite destination at Perú, we love the city and its culture, it's hard to explain, but it is a place with a particular energy that remarks...love the "choclo con queso"! (Corn with cheese),
Only in Central America is avocado called aguacate or guacamole. In Peru, it is called palta
The architecture there is so beautiful. The food looks so good, and wow, so affordable!
I loooooove Cusco. So much
Poor Claire when she didn’t get her Piccarones! I’m glad you guys were able to get them the next day! Awesome vlog!
The mini bananas there are still the best I've ever had. So dense and full of explosive flavor! I remember buying more at the market in Aguas Calientes so we could munch on them while visiting MP. I'll have to try the baked isla platanos next time! 💛
Thank you guys for the video, like the background music, love it.
Welcome to peru 🇵🇪
love the vibrant colours! food looks good too! I guess you guys are enjoying all that extra room you have now!
This brings back so many memories from my adventures in Peru back in 2019 🇵🇪. Thank you so much for a wonderful video and I look forward to seeing more of your upcoming travel videos 📹
Thank you for sharing and the positive vibes!
Such incredible travel experience
i love it so much Peru
geographical features it's looks stunning''
You two are so cute!! I enjoyed the whole video. Thank you. Also, your spanish is perfect. Very nice that you are trying to speak their language.
Love the all the places you went now im craving for that peruvian donuts im going to have to find something similar here in sfo lol. Enjoy you two!!
What a great video! 🇵🇪😍
Hi Chad and Claire, thank you for your videos. I first watched your Machu Picchu journey video and already liked it. Today this video pops up on my feed, and after watching it, you guys earned my subscribe button! A beautifully-made Vlog (like all others). I really like how you guys included and described everything in detail, how you guys dress comfortably and casually like a local. Love the energy and mindset, and especially the photos at the end! Please keep up with the good work, and enjoy your travels!
Wow, I've been to the areas you walked around, especially the square and the wall. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Nice job Congratulations Chad and Claire Thanks for choice my country to visit Perú has 13 Unesco heritage site including Machu Pichu and three important cities like Cuzco, Lima the capital and Arequipa. In Perú avocado means palta not aguacate, coriandrus means culantro not cilantro. We are the only country where we call kion to ginger, for the rest is jengibre
Yay! Claire, your Spanish is correct for asking for avocados.
Just happened that your channel pops up on you tube, while I was watching news, so timely that it is Peru your topic for this blog,since my daughter & I are planning to travel to Central America,soon as pandemic & no more quarantine..hopefully next year 2022, my daughter planned trip to this region is about education, my daughter is a professor in one of the biggest university in my country & she is teaching the course of “ International Tourism Hotel Management “ which is a Degree course of 4 years. One of this is to visit all UNESCO world Heritage sights like “ Machu Pitchu” in Peru, “Aztec ” in Mexico, “Equatorial Sign” in Ecuador, “ Mayan temple” of Guatemala & El Salvador, “ Christ Redeemer “ in Brazil.. this are the few sights my daughter wants to visit & have to orient & discuss it in her class, but thru virtual learning or online class,since it’s still pandemic.But anyway thank you very much, this blog is very informative... hope you will feature the “ Machu Petchu” how to get there from the city of Cusco,thank you very much, be safe & more power🙏👍
2:30 Mark Wiens did such great videos about Peruvian food. Thank you guys for visiting Perú, you did great videos too.
I agree! His series was amazing!
Claire you said that sentence in Spanish perfectly. 😃
Peru es un gran pais me encanta
Lovely video Chad and Claire. Cusco looks a amzing palce.
great video, you guys are awesome and put everything into these vids
Loved to see you both vloging...❤️
Love your videos! I’ve been binge watching you the past few days to get all caught up on your travels. You guys give such happy, positive vibes. Dreaming of traveling more and living the life you guys live!
So glad you enjoy!! Glad we come across that way! We try to be.
Wonderful video. I just want to share what I learned after living in South America (including Cusco) for several months. Many restaurants in South America have a "menu of the day" (menú del día) that they serve every day during lunch. It's super cheap (similar to your dinner costs) and also several courses. I would always eat out for lunch b/c it was so cheap to do so and then cook dinner myself since dinner tended to be more expensive.
What was your rent cost while you were there?
Love your perspective while traveling. You both are so open-minded, willing to try everything and you also provide so much great info! It’s a lot of fun to watch you explore. Looking forward to many more vlogs!
We have SO much fun making these videos and we are so happy you enjoy them!
I went to Cusco last month, you guys should try the quinoa and empanada in San Pedro market, they’re good
I’m loving your channel! I just found it while looking up videos for our trip to Greece next month and I’m hooked! We also plan to go to Peru next June.. and since I’m big into advanced plans, I was hoping you could list out your lodging/food recommendations. The Airbnb name specifically would be great. Hope to hear back, thanks!
Another awesome video! Thank you. I am going to Peru soon. Did you ask if the tea was made with purified water? Or have any tummy issues from the food?
Hello. My husband and I were wondering about the fresh/raw foods and beverages, too. Did you have problems with digestion?
New subscriber. 🙂
Great video, excellent music choices. Skills you have.
Don’t forget to try some papa ala huwakahina it’s potatoe in a spicy cheese sauce and Peruvian corn called chocolo and Peruvian cookie called alfahores
Yes! We have to try all of those! Thank you.
You know, I love you two being in a foreign country and all, but my memory muscle keeps imagining your lil van somewhere close by (I guess it’s gonna take a coupla more videos to realize that this is “chapter two of your blogs lol)! Your Spanish is very understandable, even with your heavy American accent, so don’t worry about that at all…even though they use a Spanish dialect down there, they all understand basic Spanish 👏🏼
Always my best to you two 🤗
Yeah we are still getting use to it as well. Definitely will take some time to get in the rhythm of things.
Muy Bien,muchachos,, good job guys
What a great adventure!!! I’m excited to see your trek to Machu Picchu.
Great video 💗 one thing tho in Peru we call the avocado palta don’t say aguacate, I don’t think they will understand 🤭
Hola, from SoFlo. Those plantains appear similar to the ones we have here. We usually cut them up like you did and fry them is a bit of oil over medium heat. Heat up the oil first, otherwise the plantain will absorb the oil. Flip them often until the caramelize on both sides. We eat them with our meal. I have also baked them whole...and open them like a bake potato and dab a bit of butter. A third way is to slice them in half and boil them...10 to 15 minutes. Remove from hot water, peel back with a fork and enjoy with butter. I hope you get to try cooking them again. As soon as you peeled it I realized it was a cooking plantain and not a sweet fruity banana. Great channel and very nice vlogs. I've watched many of them today as I do some needlework! Cuídense 😊
Both of you are super sweet, I can sense such delightfulness in your video:)
Hey guys! amazing videos, a very informative, and a good source of information I gained from you two in the last couple of hours :) I binge-watched almost all of your Peru videos. My husband and I are digital nomads and traveling for a year now in the Americas and guess what our next destination is Peru!!! super excited, so this is how I found your valuable videos but was wondering what was your itinerary - from Lima all the way to Cusco by Peru Hop, and then you did Machu Picchu afterward or you landed in Lima and then went to Cusco by plane and then you "came back" to Lima by bus? Thank you, guys, and keep up the good work! cheers :)
I am going to be in Cusco in April/May. The AirBnB you guys stayed in looks fantastic. Could you please share a link to that place? Thanks!
Have you both paused for a minute... how your journey has progressed? A year ago, you got married and started your van like. After a whole year traveling the US, you sold the van and you are now in Peru!!! Have you pinched yourselves? CONGRATS and thanks for sharing. Stay safe, Cheers .
We pretty much pinch ourselves every single day. Thanks for following along Jasper! We feel so lucky to share our life with you.
Looks so amazing there! Stay safe and keep enjoying yourselves!! Love the slo mo sequences 🥰
We are new to your channel for a few weeks now and already we are in LOVE with your videos and can't wait for the next posting. Great job with video editing Claire and Chad. Such talent you both have. We the old folks would like to be like you. Claire, where do you get your music from? Safe travels.
Thank you so much!! We get all of our music from MusicBed. We love their selection of songs. Welcome to our channel! 😊
I’m new to your page, love how you describe everything! You guys are adorable! I’m so glad you are enjoying my country. FYI: We say palta not aguacate (in Peru, chile, Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia). You should try Choclo con queso (big boil corn served with fresh cheese, sold on the streets). Also maybe try Cachangas (sold in the winter its fried dough ), emoliente (sold at night and its hot).
Nice video. Like you did with your van, could you give us a quick tour of your bnb and it's location. I have never been to one. You guys are doing great, looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you! We actually did a tour of our Airbnb in our goodbye usa video! We will continue to share the places we visit.
Muy interesante el vídeo 😊
If you say "aguacate" in Perú, nobody will undestand you. We call it "palta". ALso, you can find your kind of banana in San Pedro's 'caus we have like a dozen types of that fruit. THat ones you show where still so green to eat, even cook.
We are going from spain to Peru in may in our honeymoon! Did you have any stomach issues with water or food?
Great video! Really liked the songs played on the video. Do you have a song list?
Had plantain and poi, along with beef stew growing up every Monday. It is not supposed to be crunchy..lol. And add salt next time.
happy anniversary
En Perú es le llama Palta al aguacate.
Hi Chad and Claire.
Thank you for your videos.
May I know where you stayed in Cusco?
Siete molto simpatici
Loved the Vlog. What were the songs in background. Very nice ,
Great video.
Where did you guys stay and how much was it?
Is perfect your pronunciation
Hi Claire, were you wearing allbirds in this video? Was wondering how it held up to all the walking?
My Friends no hablo inglés pero que les pareció cuzco y la gastronomía del Perú?
Its possible to eat the banana raw but is better if you fried it :P. Like you did, right now is some kind of plantain actually, we have the same in Ecuador.
Hi, thanks for sharing your amazing videos, quick question, what is the name of the restaurant where you ate twice where you ordered the rice w potatoes carrots and beef along with soup? please let me know when you can, thanks again
Hi it was the Samaritano
can you tell me about your lodgings? even if it’s an airbnb, i’d love some details. i’m researching a solo trip for 2023 and would like recommendations throughout peru. thanks.
Where was the look out spot where you see the hills with lights?
Hi thanks for sharing . We are planning to go this year.we are a family of 4 . Could you please share the address or how to find the bed and breakfast or hotels that you used. Thanks and all the best you are a love couple.
Hello, what translation app do you use? Safe travels. : )
Thanks for sharing all this great info! What airbnb did you use?
It's called "Charming Mini Apartment in City Center." Hope that helps!
@@ChadandClaire Thanks so much!
Did you see any vegetarian options at the places you ate at?

How were the mangoes in Peru?
Did I miss it? What is the name of the hotel you stayed in.
what is the name of the place you stayed in? Thanks
OMG😉
did you feel safe as female traveler wanna go this year trying o find best location
What was the location of the restaurant you went to that had dinner for 10 soles?
Here are the coordinates! Goodluck on your search! -13.517924279740885, -71.97418034628973
Se debe decir en Perú : "Me gustaría tres PALTAS..." aquí no se llaman aguacates. El llamado "plátano de la isla" también se come asado, pero es mejor freírlo.
Hi! Why there are no details of places and restos that you visited? 😢
Hi there, do you know if we need Yellow Fever & Typhoid vaccine for Ecuador & Peru? we are heading there in 2 weeks from California
Why you never give us the info where you staying? How to find it, price, location?
Saluti da Torino Italia
Nice video but would have been much more helpful if you had given the prices of things..thanks
How is the covid situation? I'm going in a few weeks but am a little concerned
put salt on the bananas!
