👋 SAY HI: hello@timandfintravel.com or DM @timandfin on Instagram
Miss us? WE MISS YOU! Thanks for our MOST SUCCESSFUL MONTHS AT @Trippedtravelgear EVER, we unexpectedly took some time to manage business growth! New videos coming once per month, so watch for TH-cam Premiere events like this and follow our Instagram for notifications :)
YES we missed you guys!!! We admit we've been busy too. Keep exploring and sharing. Love love love your vlogs. You are inspirational to us as a vlogging couple! CHEERS.
I had recently been looking for you two! I was worried you were lost somewhere. 😨
I am glad you are well and more videos 🥰
So happy to see you back making videos... Love you guys!!
I have missed you all!! So excited to watch your newest video!! Yay!!
The fruit that you had in the Machu Picchu hotel is golden berries or gooseberries, in Peru we call (aguaymanto) and is not tomatoes at all, is so good and you can eat in ice-cream too😋
Whoever needs to hear this - happiness is not found on the next plane ride or destination. It's within ourselves.
Absolutely beautiful place, is that true you can feel different energy ?
Also the train has the second better view in the planet.
I cannot believe how regulated and regimented Machu Picchu has become. I was there in 1981, there was already a small hotel at the top (nothing close in price that what you were charged). Entry was free.... I woke up early and entered the site at 6AM, there was no control, and had Machu Picchu for myself until 10AM when the first tourists from Cusco arrived. It was magic. There was patches of fog coming from the Urubamba river (the river in your video), the sun lighting progressively the whole place... One of my best travel memory.
Wow!!
Reading this made me want to time travel back to 1981
Unfortunately,the huge number of tourists and constant demand to visit has created the need for regulation in order to protect the site!
@@deborahgodley6980 You are right, but site protection is not the only reason for the regulations. Another factor is that the governments of the countries where these world marvels are located have learned over the years to better monetize the access to their archaeologic treasuries.
Inflation is a real thing
A few corrections on the video from someone who lived in the area for 3 years and worked in tourism.
1. max and occy most likely took the long trek through Santa Teresa. From Ollantaytambo it's about 1h40 by train, so definitely they did not trek for only 2 hours. Even from Santa Teresa, it's more than that.
2. There are more hotels further away from the train station where you can get accommodation without any noise from the train, eg. Hotel Taypikala
3. to get the bus to Machu Picchu, I recommend you buy your tickets ahead of time, at the same time when you buy your tickets to the citadel. This is one less local trip and waiting line your skipping in Águas Calientes. This is essential if you're planning to go to Machu Picchu at the 6am schedule.
I love Pepa having her own bed in the hotel! The room view is awesome. The sound of the river would be heaven for me. The bus looked very nice. The ride was beautiful.It looked like some very tight corners!! If money is not an issue,staying close to Machu Picchu with meals on the premises would be worth $1000 - $2000.Being able to spend all the extra time exploring the views etc... would be very special. People spend that much on hotels where they are not surrounded by anything of historical or cultural value all the time.Example cruise ships,theme parks,sport events etc... Your filming of Machu Picchu was wonderful!! I've never seen it up close or seen all the places around it.I didn't know about the river. Fabulous video!!! Love from Vermont
Missed you guys and Pepper, the world's most well traveled dog! This vlog was stunning.Appreciated all the different views and aspects of Machu Picchu! I felt like I was there exploring with you.Congrats on ur biz success!
Love your video . It have the perfect amount of ratio of travel to destination, lodging, food, and the destination in the video. Hate it when people post travel video, which is 99% food, or 99% bus/train. Keep up with the good work ;) Machu looks beautiful, the scenery looks superb, and looks very well kept and maintained. Definitely worth a spot in people’s bucket list.
You two are insprirational... started watching your videos in lockdown when none of us could travel and have continued watching! What a great little traveller Pepper is - she's one cute happy doggy!
Hello! The yellow fruit that looks like a tomato is cape gooseberry. My family and I just visited Manchu Picchu in July and it’s fun to see your video! We did the 4 day/3 night Classic Inca Trail and highly recommend it!
Tim and Fin~ we bought your Tripped back pack and several of your compression bags before we launched out on our 1500 mile motorcycle trip covering four states.
Love them! Needless to say on the bike there is only so much room for packed items. The compression bags worked great for us. Great trip and great product!
Wowww what an epic adventure! I’m sure Tim would have loved to join! 😅😅
Good to see you guys, you've been missed 🤗
Thanks for watching!
What a great trip and the food and drinks look scrumptious 🤩
Hello beautiful how are you doing with your family?
We just got back at the end of July and we did the hike down instead of the bus ride. That was a fun and beautiful hike but a little hard with all the steps, but I’m older and my 16 year old son loved the hike! I enjoyed watching your video, such a beautiful place. I agree, the people of Peru are so nice.
Hello how are you hope everything is going well with you?
Great job with this video. I’m planning on two nights at the top next year, and you answered a lot of questions. It’s surprising that with all of the videos on TH-cam of Machu Picchu that few actually give you any real information.
🙌🙌🙌
@@lifesabeach5405 they showed them. Right by the entrance and the ticket booth.
@@lifesabeach5405 that’s the only bathroom there
So glad you guys are back. My husband and I watch your channel and your content and you both inspire us with your videos. I especially loved your RV travels and your humbleness about the RV you were all driving at the time. That is what got us started on your channel. Your channel is outstanding and the best on TH-cam! Thank you, from the Grandma channel, Dianna Brianne
What a wonderful video! So informative and I had a lot of moments where I was smiling at the beauty of Machu Picchu and the moments that you two and Pepper were evidently enjoying yourselves.
My daughter her husband and I are going in may. What type of clothing should we wear and shoes for the walking?
Best Machu Pichu Travel Vlog! That unhurried visit on the site gave the "feels".
Glad to see you exploring one of our favorite places. We've missed you guys! Also, Pepper is such a sweet and good girl. Glad to see she was so well taken care of while in Peru.
This is such a helpful video! Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Had no idea there was a hotel in Machu Picchu! But that price HURT 😭 Also, Pepper is such a sweet little angel 🥹
Hiking Machu Picchu mountain was strenuous but rewarding once you reach the top. Would have been fun to watch Pepper do it. Love your guys early morning views.
OMG!! Where have you guys been?! 🤣 .. I'm pumped to see some adventures coming up ☺️✌🏽
This was wonderful! My absolute favorite episode! You both did such an excellent presentation of the beauty of Machu pichu!
Thank you!!
Wonderful video!!!!! So comprehensive and your filming of Machu Picchu was just gorgeous. So happy you could bring Pepper along too!
Can't wait! Been binge watching you in semi-lockdown for a year! Love you guys. Your films always lift my spirits.😃
Thanks for the nice compliment!
Whoa! So cool! Where have you guys been? Great to see some new content. Wow! Machu!!! What an awesome hotel way up there. Always wanted to go. Not sure that will happen. Pepa is so darn cute. Ok…ciao ❤️
Yay! You guys are back!
Awesome video guys. I’m so glad we were able to meet you in Cusco… though super sad you weren’t feeling well. It was so much fun visiting and getting to know you better, and it honestly felt like you guys had been with us the whole trip by the time the night was over. I hope we get to meet up again somewhere in the future. If you ever want to ski Utah, you’ve got a place to stay.
It’s definitely on my bucket list!
Yayyy so excited to experience another adventure with you guys💗🥰🥰
Hello how are you hope everything is going well with you?
Thank you so much guys for this beautiful video, I've been in Machu Picchu and Cuzco 3 times, they are fascinating!!.
What's the weather like in may?
@@margaretrussell2070 The best months to travel to Cuzco are between May to October because there aren't much rains .
Thank you guys for always giving helpful information. Super appreciate and always enjoy your content!
You guys are so inspirational!! Love watching your content! Machu Picchu looks incredible 😍
WONDERFUL!!
The fruit is called Uchuva in Colombia, I read it is called Fruta del amor in Perú and Golden Berry in English 🥰
Yay so excited to watch this! I’ve been following along on insta so have been looking forward to this episode! 🥰
😆😆 thanks Natt!!
Amazing video and incredible views!
FINALLY a new vid lol understand it takes time glad guys are back
I loved this video so much! Planning my trip in April xoxo!
Great video. I appreciate all your efforts in sharing your experiences.
i love the honesty and transparency in your content. I'm starting to binge watch all your videos!
Thank You Tim and Fin for the info and the beautiful video as always. We miss you 🥰
Hope to you see more on TH-cam. Harriet and I (Jim) follow you on instagram. Love ❤️
You Guys. You guys know how to have fun.
Sending you lots of love ❤️ Harriet , Jim and
Yuki . Richmond, Va.
Wonderful, have a nice weekend!
Something that wasn't mentioned about the guided tours.
I took a private guided tour (With 4 other people) a few years back, and the guided part was only just over an hour, and gave me some incredible perspective about the city, the location, the people, culture and technology of the place.
After the tour we had an hour and a half to roam the place on our own.
Having the info (and someone to answer my many questions) while being immersed in the ruins, then having time to just wander and take it in, really gave a magical feeling to the whole place.
Not certain if the group tours are the same, but highly recommend the private tours.
I really love your video. So fun and interesting ❤
This is SO COOL! We are hiking the Inca trail soon and that seems much more glam than the tent we booked 😅
Tim and Fin are finally back and they take as to another great place Nicely done presentation of Machu Picchu , educational and entertaining .
Medium terrifying is accurate. I live in Ecuador, and many times, you're lucky to survive the bus ride, jajajaja! Excellent video, and helped me to make the decision that TWO days in Macchu Picchu are necessary.
Que buenos videos y q bien explicados, saludos!
Your videos are pure awesomeness (thanks for sharing them) and do it the way you do them. Came across through the Machu Pichu video. (The I just got a refrigerator magnet from Tim made me get a good laugh with my wife. Good luck, keep them videos coming and I hope you visit Puerto Rico. We are going to Cusco soon, staying at the JW. Good luck, be well!
YES! miss ya'll! Adore ya'll only half way into video but I love just learning how to get there with you along the way. Sometimes people just skip that part but you make the actual traveling so personable and fun. how it would be when I do it. It's like a pregame to vacation lol
Best travel blogs, I purposely did not watch all of them, I remember I did the same hiding candies when I was a kid.
Ommggggg CSNT WAIT!!!! MISS YOU 2
Great video 💙
More than 7,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu is the most visited tourist destination in Peru. A symbol of the Incan Empire and built around 1450AD, Machu Picchu was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983
One of your best videos, very detailed you guys are awesome by the way as a spanish speaker your spanish it’s on point.
Memories! I was there 17 years ago...and stayed at $20 a night Hostels. I would do it all over again. Takes me back! Looking forward to your Bali videos.
Amazing vlog…thankyou for sharing such an amazing experience❤
Los mejores yoyutuber todo lo lindo, todo lo hermoso, no se les escapo nada, uno de ls mejores videos que vi, son extraordinarios.
Just found your channel as I searched specifically for Machu Picchu videos. The most comprehensive video out there (and I am including tour operators and transport option videos to get there). You have a new subscriber!
Love Machu Pichu !!!! Next year hope go there!!!!
Amazing, bring back grear memories from my inka trail trip 11 years ago. Bonus if you do the trek you get to enter via the sun gate at dawn.
Excellent video ❤
Que bueno que difundan y den a conocer las bondades de nuestro pais gracias, hermanos
awesome!
That was a great video experience. I kind of feel like I don't need to go now. I'm getting older and my knees doth protest. I love your bubbly and sparkling personality Fin. "I got a refrigerator magnet", Oh Tim, you crack me up. You played it cool though, well done.
Perfect
Love your adventures , you have to visit Albania , exactly for your travel style
Wow what a wonderful trip! The place is nice, I really like the green trees around I love to be there to
I visited 20 years ago as a student. So. Ice to see it again through your eyes. Thanks so much. I thought it was a really special place. Even though it is so touristic
Super cool place to go!!! We will add it to the long list but first.... Alaska!!!!!!! Only hauling 7 cameras (2 are drones), wireless mikes, and maybe some clothes LOL. Love love love your style and admit we have learned a lot from you two. Live, love and travelvlog! ❤Chuck and Lori
Hi Tim & Fin! This is Lori. So happy you are back :). Sorry I missed the premiere. Glad Chuck caught it. I will definitely be watching your vlog later. We have watched your Alaska vlogs and you have inspired us to go! Very excited we will be traveling to Alaska very soon! I can't wait :)
Bought a tripped backpack for our trip to the USVI. Nice quality and awesome that it comes with a stuff sack! Great design!
"He gave me a refrigerator magnet and asked me how serious this marriage was." Lmaoooo
Have missed you both xx
New viewer here! Love this video- I actually had purchased your packing cubes a few weeks ago and just found your videos prepping for my Peru trip. I love Fins clothes and wish more of them were linked in the Amazon storefront or in the video!!
Welcome Liz! A lot of my non-Amazon clothes are from Nordstrom rack ☺️ check out our Peru packing video here and have a great trip!! th-cam.com/video/qS7pELxeBbw/w-d-xo.html
Just found your channel such a good channel keep it up❤❤
Yes you were missed here! I hope all is well with you and yours.
VERY NICE VIDEO, IT WAS MADE WITH LOVE, THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR COUNTRY
Exelente
cheers from AUSTRALIA
Thank you for all the tips and the great video. Definitely on my bucket list. "Refrigerator magnet and how serious your marriage"😂😂
Nice to go Machu Pichu …! I recommended 100 %
The small orange fruit called "Physalis". We have it in Germany at our grocery shops too.
Hey! Just found your channel. We travel full-time with our dog (Boston Terrier) and know the struggle is real. Great video. We are headed back to SA and Peru early next year. Looking forward to revisiting MP. We will definitely make that expensive hotel work with points.
We r so like u guys. We have to do the research before we go then go our own way. We at least enjoy it more that way when we do it at our pace. Thanks
Perú💞 is Amazing
Pepper is so cute! I didn't know there was a hotel at Machu Picchu either.
Thanks!
TIM and FIN
Where have you guys been? Missed you! Beautiful video!
We did the Salkantay trek to Machu Pichu in 2017 and its crazy how different it is from then. It was only tickets for all day and outside Montaña and Huayana it was a free for all.
Ha, Tim's refrigerator magnet quote trumps the sunrise at Machu Picchu!
واہ سپر ڈوپر
Hola… thank you for bringing us along. I’ll be there end of Oct.
Question - how long did it take for you guys lungs take to acclimate being so high up?
I’m so looking forward to explore and experience this beautiful area … I’ll be there during solar eclipse and can’t wait to take it all in ✨
I got there the other way , i got a mini bus from Ollyantambo to Hydro Electrica and then walked at the side of the train tracks to Aquas Calientes and stayed in the Natvius hostel in January 2017 for around 7€ , It`s also better if you arrive in Cusco to get out of there as fast as possible and get to Ollyantambo because Cusco is Higher than Macchu Picchu , so it is easier to Acclimatise in Ollyantambo , also from Ollyantambo you can spend a few days there and visit the salt mines and also maras moray
Went to machu pichu in 2005...much better experience than what it seems to be present day...
The fruit looks like a cape gooseberry
We were just there in late June, and splurged to stay at the Sanctuary after the 4 days, 3 nights on the Inca Trail. We agree it was so worth it - having a nice shower in the hospitality room after 4 days on the trail, before our guided tour of lower Machu Picchu was wonderful (got to see upper Machu PIcchu when coming from the Sun Gate off the Inca Trail). And like you experienced, it was wonderful the next morning to be some of the first into Machu Picchu, and we hiked Waynapicchu on the second day there. (Yes it is steep, but worth it if you enjoy hiking and don't have a strong fear of heights). The all inclusive food was amazing, as was the wonderful support and services provided by the employees. The Sanctuary offered to take our packs down to Aguas Calientes when we left, and hold them until we got on the train was an unexpected surprise that helped us explore Aguas Calientes without carrying those packs. No extra charge for that - but of course a nice tip for the porters that did that for us.
We have a picture from the same bench on the Orchid Trail. Such an amazing place, you are so close the the crowds visiting Machu Picchu, but feel so far away.
Ohhh mannn what a reward after hiking the Inca trail! THATS the way to do it!
"He gave me a refrigerator magnet and asked how serious this marriage is..."
I had a good long belly laugh at that one!
I'm pretty sure you ate a chocolate covered golden berry :)
Aka Peruvian groundcherry
I’m going to Peru in a month. Your video was great! Thank you! How is the water? A filter will help the quality of water or I would need to buy plastic bottles?
