🎬 The One Thing You Must Do in Japan!
• The ONE THING you MUST...
Spent my honeymoon in Peru which included a visit to Machu Picchu in 1964, long before the tourist industry developed. No hotels, no crowds, just the isolated magnificence of this stunning Incan city.
I wish we could’ve seen it back then! It certainly has changed.
I was atop El Castillo in 1990, and now it's forbidden. I was there 9-21-90, on Honeymoon, and the bride and I were the only ones out of a line of buses to make it back to the bus, dry. I was the only mind out of about 1,000 people who saw that the sky was about to open.
I'm so glad I got this Dickhard Medicine off this TH-cam add..! so me And my girlfriend can have competitive battles for hours😅😂🤣🤪🤯
me too 1962
Damn that must of been an experience
The Peruvian porters are called Quechuas, NOT Sherpas. The Quechuas take pride in their work supporting the tours. Sherpa is an ethnic group of people living in the Khumbu region of the Himalayas.
Understood. It was a lazy reference on our part - thank you for setting us straight. Cheers!
You didn’t share anything about MP except a bunch ‘tourist culture’ and then called the Peruvians helping carry tourists bags ‘sherpas’. Lame, really really lame….
@alisonyahna8041 Thank you for your input.
CORRECTION: They are called Quachitos, from the word Quacha.
@Fuuq2 Thank you!
I’ve been to Machu Picchu 4 times, in “87”, “09”, “18” & “20”. Every visit was a unique experience of its own. Mo visit has ever been the same. I can’t wait to go back. I’ll continue to visit Machu Picchu until I no longer can. It’ll change you forever, it has for me.
Have you been to Choquequirao? I'm really wanting to get there my next trip
Wife and I visited Machu Picchu 15 years ago. Our tour started in Lima, a flight to Cusco where we stayed at a hotel for two nights. Our tour guide said this would make us acclimated to the altitude. He was right on! we arrived at Aguas Calientes for a two night stay. Next morning up early as the first group of visitors. Machu Picchu was a fantastic sight to see.We enjoyed the fact that the town was sparsely visited as we were the first bus up. We of course took many pictures and were able to explore the entire town. One thing they don't tell you is "Don't touch the llamas", they have fleas...... Great trip!!
I didn’t know about the fleas! But I think you got the itinerary just right - good idea to spend some time higher up in Cusco to get acclimated.
I’m so fortunate to have visited there in 1983 before it became a tourist destination. It seems to me that the 15 of us had the whole place to ourselves, and that night we camped at the base.
I was there in 86… noticed how much the roads & transport have improved. Back then we trekked for 4 days from train station “kilometre 88”
1992 for me. Aguas Calientes was just one train platform and just one Guest House with our bedroom door directly opening up on the platform. After the last train the dining terrace was extended between the tracks. We were only 25 persons at the site. I would love to go back but sadly todays reality keeps me from returning.
Same here. Visited in the late 1980s, but it was a sad time as one of our group was executed by the Shiling Path guerilla movement who were in the area at the time.
@@AJGeeTV 😳 what an aweful tragedy.
They were getting bolder while we were there and the State Department issued a warning and suspended travel from and to the US.
We had trouble getting out of the country as our US flights were all cancelled.
Yes, it so so sorrowful that such hoards of tourists pour in here every year. The sacredness is being stripped by the selfie crowds. I was there in early 2000s. Would not recommend it now. Unless you like masses of people around you. No time for quiet reflection with you and this awesome spot anymore. @@borger2109
Been there done that. Took bus from Cusco halfway and took train out and all the way back to Cusco - unforgettable journey. Our guide (Sergio) asked me what tribe I was from and told him I was Navajo and he knew all about the Navajo Code Talkers and request I speak Navajo and he was taken aback when I knew how to speak Navajo and he about did cartwheels when he heard me speak it.
Wow - amazing experience!
I visited Peru, including Machu Picchu, during early May of 2016. My experience was flawless and fabulous. No issues with bumpy roads. The train was great! Bus ride up the windy road to Machu Picchu wasn’t harrowing. There are plenty of similar steep, narrow, winding roads right here in the US. I spent the whole day exploring the “village in the clouds”, except that there were no clouds that day, just brilliant sunshine. The tourist presence wasn’t excessive and all were well behaved. I was, and still am, in awe of the ruins and the views. Magnificent. The next morning, our group members had the option of rising at a leisurely time or taking a dawn trip back up the mountain. I chose dawn in Machu Picchu. Fewer visitors that early. At times I had portions of the ruins to myself. Best trip ever.
It is an unforgettable place to visit
can you tell me which tour company i should use if I would like to fly from MN, stay a day or to in Lima, go to Cuzco and take the train and van up? Was going to go on an expedition but think now best to climb small climbs, take in more, take train up/down. Can I fly to Lima and book my own flight to C. Can you recommend a motel? The town below MP looks quaint too-any suggestions? I do not speak Spanish but am thinking about joining one of the well-known programs or intense study. I know February is best month to go so might go Feb 25 or maybe late fall of 2024. Thanks, kep805 and all! PS: Flight from MSP is 17-33 hours but found out one-stop to Lima is 9 hours and can handle that. How does everyone sit that long in a plane? Maybe it's me-old and sitting too long on the job last few years. THANKS!!
Why does your trip sound so good? What I imagine not this nightmare?
I was fortunate to visit Machu Picchu in the 80s and there were very few people there. I jogged up the mountain avoiding the switchbacks by using shortcut paths that went straight up the mountain. These paths were used by the young vendors who would follow the bus up and down the mountain by using the short cuts and sell various products to the people on the buses at each switchback.
It must have been very different to have been there before the throngs of tourists in the Instagram era arrived!
Did you really? Or did you just watch the movie "Max is Missing" (1995)?
Spectacular footage of Machu Pichu!!! Absolutely breathtaking views from start to finish. Your tips along the way will prove helpful to any others
contemplating making the trek at a future date.
Thanks for taking along the viewing audience,
it was greatly appreciated by us all!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Once-in-a-lifetime! Doesn't matter what you wear, as long as you are there! I cried tears of joy when I arrived after a hike to the City on the hill...
Couldn’t agree more!
Seeing this was something I had wanted to do for over 50 years and finally did so five years ago....and, then onto Argentina to view a total solar eclipse.
Cried as well!! Can't imagine not being moved to tears by that sight!
wonderful.... immersion in another culture brings great gifts. it is rare in this cell phone photo streaming world where ppl so rarely put down the recording devices and are actually fully present in the experience! Bravo!
I went there three times in 2012/2013 & climbed Huayna Picchu, on the third time, I could not get enough of the place, I was there from opening till closing. Was a absolute joy. 🙏😊💜
MP is such an experience, I recommend 2 days if possible. On day 1 I left Cusco by train at 7 am (why drive for 2 hours to board train??) and got to Aqua Calientes around 9. Met tour guide and spent entire day at MP. Checked into hotel for night in AC and then arose before dawn on day 2 for first bus up to MP. I had ticket for early admittance to Huayna Picchu and hiked to top. Now THAT is unforgettable!!! I don’t understand why folks try to cram to/from and visit MP all in one day. Slow down folks and see the scenery.
I would stay a week and take in everything else in that lovely place.
I like your version far more than the way we did it!
What they don’t tell you is that MP doesn’t shut down for the night until 4:30 or 5. But by 2 all the tour groups are hustled out to catch their trains and buses like these wacos.. so for two or three hours you can wander around and see whatever you like, just you and the llamas…😂
why all the moaning about altitude?. Machu Picchu is about the same altitude as Denver.
Cuzco, on the other hand, at over 11,000 feet has some serious altitude…. So you take that train DOWN to Aguascalientes and MP. BTW the river you see at Aguascalientes starts In the hills behind Cuzco. And this same river continues north into Equador and then turns east at Iquitos and becomes the Amazon…
Who moaned? I heard no moaning.
wow memories! I was in Peru a few years ago. Machu Picchu is the most amazing place on the American continent! For me Peru is the most beautiful and diverse country in South America! I remember traveling through the mountains of Peru and then arriving at the Peruvian jungle to live the experience of ayahuasca, Peru is the country of origin, it was something important in my life. Thanks for the video.
It is a truly amazing place, on so many levels. I am here now (for a month), about to do my second ayahuasca ceremony since I arrived. The land and mountains are healing in and of themselves, but Grandmother Ayahuasca takes it to a whole other level. It is a "once in a lifetime experience" that I will have more than once. It is too special and too life-changing not to come back again. Machu Picchu is pure magic in the clouds, reminds me of Pandora from the movie Avatar. You have to experience it to understand....
Best to make a 5 day or so trip through the Sacred Valley from Cusco to Aqua Calientes. Since a day trip to Machu Picchu is limited 4 hours a day, it is best to stay overnight in Aqua Calientes and do Machu Picchu 2 days in a row. Lovely village with plenty of restaurants and guided nature walks.
Visited during Feb and March and did not have a problem with rain or fog.
I visited M'Pichu in 1991, stayed in Pisac and Ollantytambo and Aguas Calientes. I went up to MP in the site workers' 7am bus. I was shown round by one of the site workers and I walked down to A'Calientes, before the crowds arrived. Spent the afternoon at the hot springs. Best travel experience of my life so far
That sounds fantastic
I went in 2013, also a rainy day but that did nothing to dampen the experience. We stayed two nights in Aguascalientes overnight so it wasn’t too stressful. Nice Hostel with great hosts. This made the experience a lot more peaceful. You can go in the springs which we did and also get an Inca massage. That was wonderful. The 500 Inca steps on Machu Picchu were hard on me then as I had bad arthritis and needed help from my son in law and daughter who grabbed me one on each side. So practice your steps before heading there. Greatest experience for sure. They offer you coca tea so take advantage of that. I do not recommend for kids to go. Heard many stories of them getting altitude sickness. Also it’s easy to slip and fall up there. I was wondering just how many people fall to their death up there and they don’t report that. You never know. Great place though for sure.
I went in 2003, and I wanted to say that we had no trouble with the altitude. Cuzco is much higher, and we had already become acclimated to the reduced oxygen long before getting to Machu Picchu, which is about the same height as the unimpressive mountains east of my home. What was impressive was seeing how much higher the surrounding Andes were from Machu Picchu.
Good idea to spend some time acclimating in Cusco. It’ll definitely get you ready for MP!
8000ft altitude is nothing special here at my home in Alamosa, Colorado. Just a flat dry, sagebrush-alkali plain with nothing much to do but ride motos, photo rattlesnakes with a long-stick Go Pro and make a BMX track upon.
@Fuuq2 We live in Denver- so we feel you!
what would be impressive is you crashed in the andes and ate the dead to stay alive, then walked out
My family had trouble breathing o
I feel so good for you that the cloud gods lift the fog for you and your friend to enjoy the majestic of one of the wonders of the world.... it's quite impressive, was there like 20 years ago... and planning to bring along my mexican wife to know this beauty... Greetings from California. ... great video.
We did the Inka Trail 20 years ago and it was one of the best hiking trips I had taken in my life. Our tour guide, porters were great and they cooked delicious food. I will never forget hiking through the countryside of Cusco....just flying into the airport was beautiful. We love d the restaurants of downtown Cusco.
I was there 11 days in 2022 our initial trip held up two years due to COVID. We hiked the Salkantay trail to Machu Picchu. Hiked and camped 42 miles and across a pass at 15k ft. It was challenging but a trip of a lifetime. We went at the end of April. No rain, not a lot of mosquitoes. If you get a chance to go, GO!
11 days.. that sounds wonderful... what an experience..... !!
The best way to visit Machu Picchu is to hike in over the Inca Trail, normally a 4 day hike, but we did in 3 days. It goes over a pass around 4300m. We camped above the clouds and on the last day descend down to Machu Picchu ideally to reach the Sun Gate for the "money" photo shot before the rabble arrive by bus, complaining how hard the bus ride up was. One can then take the bus down or walk and relax in the "Hot Springs" below before hopping on the train back. I believe the numbers allowed on the Inca Trail is now restricted and alternate trails provided.
I was fortunate to be there with no crowds (2017) & sunshine. It helps to be in good physical condition in order to climb all those stairs. Fortunately I had my heart attack months later after returning home.
I do fear people might go there unaware of the physical requirements- we saw it in our group with couple unable to climb all the stairs. Something everyone needs to be aware of.
how long it takes to climb all stairs i mean minutes and where?@@windowseatworldtravel
I took the train from Cuzco to MP. It was a real pleasure. The hot spring in Aguas Calientes is one of the most beautiful natural settings that I have ever experienced. Seeing MP for the first time shook me; mind blowingly 🤯 amazing.
Were in Lima, Peru in Jan. 2023 on a cruise. Excursions to Macchu Picchu were cancelled as about 4 days prior the locals started to block the trains and trails going and coming. People were being helicoptered down. Lima was also lined with police and military. After leaving there were demonstrations in the Lima but we did not hear of any violence.
Yeah, the beginning of the year brought lots of demonstrations there. Thankfully things are mostly back to normal now
I stayed in Aguas Calientes overnight and took the second bus up to MP in the morning. It was summer and the early morning fog burned off for magnificent views from about 10 am onwards. The place wasn’t crowded in the early morning. I booked Huayna Picchu awhile before and climbed up with fhe first cohort. The afternoon was relaxed and gorgeous. I then descended and caught a late afternoon train to Ollantaytambo. Visited it the next day and those stone terraces where the indigenous peoples fought the Spaniards were amazing. Then I took an afternoon train to Cuzco for a flight to Lima. I would highly recommend doing it this way. It is more relaxed than your schedule. And it minimizes the time at super high altitude in Cuzco. I get altitude sickness.
I think you did it the right way - in hindsight I’d have spent the night before in AC.
The Spaniards never found Machu Picchu, much less fought the indigenous people there.
@@jimarmstrong4380OP was talking about Ollantaytambo.
They should have stayed home and watched a Rick Steves travel show on their lazyboy recliners. Never heard so much complaining. I climbed the Inca Trail in 2008, camped on the mountain, and watched the sunrise over Machu Picchu with one lone flutist playing an ode to the rising sun. So unforgettably gorgeous!
If you’ve never heard so much complaining, you must not be married. 😉
@@windowseatworldtravel🤨
These flatlands are bedwetters. Another Failed video.
I loved it there - went in 2018. Hiked up Machu Mountains (talk about a lot of stairs!) too. Even with the people it was an amazing experience. I'd suggest acclimating to the altitude in Cusco for a few days before going to Machu Picchu - since MP is a lower altitude you shouldn't have much of an issue.
Great idea! That’s how we did it.
Es simplemente hermoso el machu picchu, recorrer y visitar cada espacio turistico te hace vivir y sentir experiencias muy relajantes, sin duda un hermoso lugar para viajar
MACHU PICHU es una maravillosa cuidad, yo quede sorprendida con lo misterioso lugar, costumbre y su flora.
Thank you Machu Picchu is off my bucket list and saved a lot of money !
Wow que hermoso, Machu Picchu es un lugar hermoso y una experiencia increíble para cualquiera que visite la maravilla peruana.
Maravilloso el machu Picchu, sin duda un hermoso lugar para visitar
Que hermosos paisajes ❤ me encanta 😍 la vida es maravillosamente mágica un fuerte abrazo saludos
Terrific video. Thanks for sharing and God bless your travels.
Machu Picchu should be on the "bucket list" of every American. I have been there many
times as a guide while studying in PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD CATOLICA DEL PERU in
Lima. This particular video is one of the best that I have seen. Thank you for your good
work. - USA
Thank you so much! We really appreciate it!
DUDE: that's not *FOG* it's *CLOUD*
DUDE they’re the same thing!
@@windowseatworldtravel lol claro! Did you think about overnighting in the hotel at MP?
Lo hermoso que tiene el Perú como machupichu y otras maravillas mas. Una de las maravillas del Perú Macchu Picchu hermoso lugar.
Thank you. I´m too old for a trip there so I´m happy with your excellent and honest videos.
We were blessed to travel this destination by ourselves in a van…just 4 of us….mi kids will never forget this trip…we went to manu….trujillo Cajamarca what a trip
Amazing, beautiful, someplace I would love to visit.
You should. I used to work in the travel business and took groups to Cuzco & M.P. The tourist were always impressed and wanted to tell their friends app on return to their Countries. Japanese turist specially, could not take enough pictures.
I also went there many years ago. There was only a Japanese film crew and 12 of us in the area. It was wonderful.
That sounds amazing!
The baths at Agua Calientes were awesome. Went in ‘96 and there was a group of kids throwing a beach ball. They stopped as soon as us foreigners entered. One of the guys in our group, took the ball, tossed it to a few of us, and then lobbed it back to the kids - they got the message and we all joined in.
The experience was vastly different than catching the tourist train in - we’d hiked for four days to get there. It was mindblowing! Got to see so much more and were blessed to see condors! And once you get to see the city for the first time before reaching it? Well, I cried. It was overwhelming. Well worth the sore knees and tiredness,
Thanks guys for all your helpful trips. I won't be going but that's fine with me.
Hiked the incan trail for a week to get there. It was absolutely incredible!!! Funny to see the people getting off the bus and train dressed up in sports gear to take their fresh faced selfies 😂 😂
I did the same in 2011. 3 days trekking across the Andes only for fat tourists to tell me to move out of their way for photos after their long train ride. 😂
Best thing I’ve done was hike to Mp on foot. A shit load of steps up but An amazing place when you get to the top
Your timing was definitely wrong. You never come to M.P. During the rainy season(end of the year). Was thereBeen there a few times myself with small tourist groups. Th e Ruins are magnificent and if you are adventurer you can walk down the Terraces to an area where you can see the Urubamba Town at the distance. I wish I was there again. BTW, the walk to Huayna Picchu is terrifying but a experience of a life time. Glad to see your video & sorry for the negatives of the trip.
WHERE ARE THE COCO LEAVES THE INCAS CHEWED.
Hey, don't apologize at all. You were candid.
A dream trip for me. Doubt I'll ever get there. 😢
@@MoniqueangeliqueLumpkinCoca leaves in a bowl in the shed where intrepids sign in prior to the ascent of Huayna.
Is mid September raining season? Planning a spontaneous trip to cross off my bucket list
Yes it changed my life. I’m ready to go now!
Machu Picchu es un gran destino, gran energía para poder compartir
I was there in 1998! Took the 10 day Inca Trail hike. Mind blowing trip. ❤
If we had time - we would definitely do that. Heard from others about what an amazing experience it was.
We visited in early 2020, one of the last groups allowed before the COVID shutdown that "captured" our escort's next group in Cusco for a month. This video's hosts misrepresent the issue of altitude. Cusco is high - 11,000' to 12,600' while visiting the city and the archeological sites that overlook it. But, Machu Picchu is only 7,600', and Aguas Calientes is just 6,400'. We were in our early 70s and got most of our exercise from walking tours during travel - so, not really "fit." Yet, we had no trouble coming from our sea-level home to Peru and these elevations. We had a similar weather experience as the video but fewer people. Peru is getting more protective of this treasure - go as soon as you can as demand grows but capacity is more restricted. It is a wonder.
Omg!!!!!! This video is incredible
❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing! That was gorgeous.
Thank you!
Una de las maravillas del Perú Macchu Picchu hermoso lugar
Glad I made the trip to Machu Picchu years ago, but the trip to the city in the cloud was by foot on a 3 day hike. Locals were friendly and the effort made finally arriving all that much more worthwhile.
I did the same and 💯% agree felt much more gratifying hiking in.
Machu Picchu un hermoso lugar para vacacionar acompañado de la familia y vivir momentos inolvidables.
I really liked your video! Thanks for sharing! We go next week!
Have a great time! There’s no place like it!
We loved our trip , we spent 2 days in Cuzco, 2 days in base camp. It was very exciting and the people were wonderful. Have some beautiful pictures to remind us every day of a magical trip. The clouds parting to reveal the city in the sky was breathtaking. The food was good. Our tour guide was very informative. Our trip included planes, vans, trains, busses and lots of walking. 🎉
Did you try the Guinea pig while in Peru?
Lo hermoso que tiene el Perú como machupichu y otras maravillas mas
Thank you for sharing, the only way for me to see your adventure❤
Our pleasure!
es simplemente hermoso el machu picchu, recorrer cada espacio y ver la belleza de este
Macchu Picchu es una de nuestras 7 maravillas del mundo donde las personas extranjeras tienen el placer de poder visitar y conocer, además que es un lugar muy tranquilo y con mucha historia por conocer ☺️☺️🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 I love Peru
no solamente los extranjeros, también los nacionales... pero YA dejen de hacer tantas protestas en Cuzco, que dan mala imagen al Perù.
Maravilla del Perú para el mundo ❤
I can't wait to go! Thanks for the video! I got as close as Loha and Villecabamba, Ecuador on my last trip south. They are great sites to visit too. But next trip is to the City in the Clouds.
Have fun! You’re going to love it!
Es un sueño el poder visitar esta maravilla del mundo ❤
You will... promise !!
Machu Picchu es una de las 7 maravillas del mundo ❤️ no solo por ser un lugar hermoso de recorrer sino también por lo místico, cultural y por la historia inca que tiene detrás de cada espacio de la montaña 🌎
Simply amazing. Great video, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant great video I always wanted to go there, thank you.
Las maravillas del Perú ❤
You should have stayed in Aguas Calientes the night before entering Machu Picchu. Also, there are two mountains to the side of the main ruins that are worth climbing for a breathtaking view of the region.
I think you’re right re: AC
The big domed mountain requires extra advanced ticketing to climb.
So nice to see all this taken place Thankyou 😊
You’re right, there are a lot of videos that just spout the same stuff. Indeed yours was very useful. Well done and thank you.
Thank you very much!
We did the trip in 2021 when there was hardly anyone travelling, we were the only people there, it was pretty surreal . I have yet to upload the video! You have a new subscriber!
Thank you! Can’t wait to see your video!
@@windowseatworldtravel Yes i've only started uploading with regularity to the channel so trying to clear the backlog as well as making new stuff! As you know TH-cam is not an easy job choice!
What month did you visit ?
April.

Me encanta que las personas de otros países puedan apreciar nuestra cultura ❤
Absolutely amazing!
Gracias
Pero no quejarse si no hallan todo ordenado para su ego gringo. Preferiría que este tipo de gente tomara otro camino. Al final no contribuyen en nada.
el tipo del videio esta haciendo una critica no esta apreciando . no escuchastes lo que dijo . pobre weon. como el videio esta en ingles no gente peruana para que le respondan en comentarios.. hay que aclarar que no todo centro turistico es perfecto.
Machu picchu es un lugar sorprendente de mucha cultura ,lugar muy acogedor keda en la ciudad de Cusco en el peru, una maravilla del mundo es una experiencia inolvidable.
Hermoso lugar turístico
Machu Picchu, una de las maravillas del mundo moderno, es un destino fascinante que atrae a miles de visitantes cada año. Es crucial recordar la importancia de un turismo sostenible y respetuoso con el entorno natural y cultural de Machu Picchu. El cuidado del sitio arqueológico, el respeto a las normas y regulaciones, y el apoyo a las comunidades locales son aspectos esenciales para preservar este tesoro histórico para las futuras generaciones.
You failed to mention the price of the train and also when you're in agua caliente there's a group of about 60 of us that ran up to the top in less than 20 minutes
Good for you. You all must be young and in very good shape.
@@rayarias7127 i am 62
Very impressive.
Thanks for the tips. I absolutely would have brought a tripod with me.
One of my most special memories.
Its honestly over rated for the effort to get there
It’s still one of those places you gotta see for yourself I think
An amazing place! I hiked down the tracks and up the mountain. No trains or buses. That was a serious hike up
Absolutely stunning!!
Thank you so much!
This is my dream vacation I am now 64 and the last 5 years I have been saying I want my grandchildren to go and I was just actually ready to make plans in 2 years because they will be 8 and 11 but after watching this I am calling my travel agent to see how soon is the best time to go in the next year so I have the time to prepare starting today! I was getting upset about your reporting but I am so appreciative that you showed it like you did because I’m finally doing this and I will be prepared I have been asking others but now I’m just thinking my hubby and I. Because I want to make sure we have time to make this trip enjoyable and stress free as possible. Thank you!!!
You need to go! Despite all the rules and all the cameras and chaos - it is so worth the trip! You will love it.
Ollyantambo is an amazing place, a beautiful little town.
I hiked the royal inca trail to machu pichu. It was awesome. Have wanted to go back but covid and civil unrest have made it unsure. Maybe next year. The company that led the tour was Explorandes. They did an awesome job.
I am soooo sorry it was foggy!! Thanks for the information.
Absolutely incredible hike and views the whole way
I’d love to see it irl
Agreed!
I knew most of all those things before I visited Macho Picho in 2016. We stayed in Ollytatumbo in order to avoid the bumpy, early morning bus from Cusco. It is a lovely village surrounded by Inca and prior civilizations' ruins.
Hermoso paisaje
Thank you so much for your phenomenal video ❤❤❤
Thank you for watching!
Nice video! Brought back fond memories. You should look into the Inca Trail; I did it in 2017 and it was very memorable and an amazing experience.
Definitely want to do that next time!
Regardless of everything involved, this is a great video and anyone who would be thinking of going there should watch this first. Great video
Thank you so much!
Hermoso lugar 😍
Machu Picchu una de las maravillas del Perú hermoso😌
Enjoyed this fun lighthearted travel vid.
Lots of stuck up hardcase comments ... whatever😂 ... These 2 dudes were having fun sharing the visit from their perspect.
Thanks. Great shots👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
I remember in the 70s lots of people in the entertainment field as well as bored people with money to spend went to MP as a spiritual destination. I love this stuff.
Hermoso lugar me encanta ❤❤
Thank you for all the info .
Excelente, me gusta la calidad del video y el contenido que promociona
Machu Picchu la maravilla del mundo y de Perú 🎉❤
