Hi! Quite new to your community but loving the videos and dreaming of my own Van and my own Occy one day in the future! Max is right about the mountain colors, its all due to the minerals within the sediment making up the mountain that it has such a unique coloring. The Andes formed due to a tectonic activity so its environmental conditions were completely unique during formation providing it the rare minerals, iron oxide rust (red), iron sulfide (yellow and orange), chlorite (turquoises and greens). The Geology Hub Blog has some more info about them for anyone interested :-) geologyhubblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/22/the-rainbow-mountain-of-peru/ P.S. I'm not a science nerd, just a Geography teacher with an interest in Geology! :-P
The colors have formed because of ice that used to cover the area. When it started to melt, the water mixed with minerals in the ground, turning the earth into the many colors. Red areas are due to rust mixtures, yellows are due to iron sulfide, purples are from goethite or oxidized limonite, and the greens come from chlorite.
Just came across your video’s after hearing of the passing of Lee. I was in Peru in April 2019. Machu Picchu was amazing. I also saw the painted mountain, just a spectacular trip. So sad to see this beautiful soul leave this earth!! HOW DIFFICULT it must be for All those she has touched! My condolences. Rest in peace beautiful Lee! 🙏😘
Oh Max. I am not sure you will read this as it is 3 years past when you posted it. I have only recently found you guys but have been a huge fan of Kingin It and Bec/Eamon. Through them I learned of what happened to Lee. I must say I feel the loss of the opportunity to meet such an amazing spirit deeply. I have watched many videos of the two of you ...many more yet to see...but in this one, seeing her joy through it all but especially towards the end...my heart is broken. I can see in her eyes how her heart was overflowing with love for you and her life. I thank God that you have these memories and pics/videos to remind you of the good times. Know you are treasured. God Bless you.
I always love Max and Lee + occy .. I am your solid fan ... I always support you three ... I always watch ads on your videos guys ... Have a nice day 😍😍😍
@@MaxLeeandOccyI do that because I like you guys You always making my Sunday happy ... When I see your first uploaded video I watch it and subscribe on your channel
Many are saying it, but I came to say that your guys' videoing/editing skills are incredible! I enjoy following you guys so much anyway, but your talent for capturing it all is shining extra bright lately!
Another beautiful, chill, educational travel video... My ‘have to watch’ TH-cam channel. Nearing 400,000 subscribers-well-deserved, with many more to come! Happy to be a Patreon of Max & Lee + Occy! :-) ,
I love your Sunday morning videos. I wake up and grab my iPad and get to travel with you. Thanks for another beautiful adventure. You three are just awesome!!
Happy to be able to see Peru through you both ! My grandfather is from there and hopefully one day I can explore the beautiful country as well ☀️ thanks for the amazing video !
Wow! The Awesome beauty of Rainbow Mountain looked Spectacular, the different reddish colors & browns.What a Super view at the top.Occy enjoyed taking off a head.That lovely stream and Occy went right into it.Thanks, for sharing this Amazing journey. All Blessings on future van trips.Amen! 🙏❤🙏🤗
Hi Lee and Max, thanks again for taking me along to Peru. I love how you calculated your arrival for your hike and your camping stop along the River. My cousin is in Peru with her daughter and I see her photos on FB. They went some of the same places as you all, but there were always crowds around. Another pro for van travels. Other highlights were the opening shots, village views, the colors of Peru, sweet Occy and how tuned in he was to his surroundings and the Occycam. Be well and travel safely.
Hey Kathi! Our pleasure, it's been great to have you along!! And yep, definitely a perk of van life is avoiding all the crowds. We figure we went the harder route to get there so deserve some solitude every now and then 😉Peru was so full of culture and amazing views!
Wow, wow, wow... them views are awesome! lama crossings❤.. Great vid as always folks, Peru looks amazing... Thanks for Sharing❤ We made it to Arctic Norway! Whoop,whoop!❤❤
The Occy-cam is a great idea! So lucky to have all the mountain for yourself. By the way, next week is 28 de Julio "Fiestas Patrias", we celebrate our independence day. It's going to get loud, people celebrating, fireworks, etc.
A 19 minute video felt like 7minutes ...I love love love watching you guys. Wholesome, natural, sweet, adventurous, inspiring and just overall great content/edits. Occy cam for the win 😂
Layers of shale, the geologic term for mud that was deposited in a bay or low energy environment where the mud was able to accumulate at different times and with different minerals which created the variegated color layers. What got them up here to 13,000 feet? Plate tectonics, which pushed the rocks up at an angle. We are seeing the rock formations at an angle, kinda like looking at a slice of layered cake that tipped over.
That view looks a lot like the Painted Desert in the states. Very nice views.Funny some of the things my ears hear, Lee humming in the kitchen while she makes a meal. It's the sign of a content heart.
I'm loving the Patreon early access to your videos! Also, Peru is such a gorgeous country. The cow mouth at the market was.......interesting. I love seeing markets in different countries as it teaches a lot about different cultures. Thank you so much for another amazing video!!!
Stoked to hear it Mel!! And right?? I wonder if there would be so many people eating meat in the Western world if that was how it was presented? 🤔 Our pleasure and thank you again for all of your support! 🙏🏼❤️
LOL. I would say if you went to Mongolia you be shocked about how food is presented. I have seen alot of horrible stuff. But I still eat meat. I enjoy it. But alot of people have squeamish stomachs so can't blame them. To each their own. It's like if people only knew what Cheese and yogurt really was. Anyhow love you guys keep up the good work. My dogs love watching Occy. Its amusing.
@@SimonElenor I would love to go to a Mongolian market! I've seen many around the world and they really are an interesting look into different societies and cultures around the world. One of my favorite markets was in Hong Kong. 😄
When Max said they saw something that would put you off meat for life. Three years ago I was in a meat market in Greece and it churned my stomach so bad that I went vegetarian
My husband and I ( from the Adelaide Hills) started following your videos just a couple of months ago. I just wanted to say that what a happy, healthy and adventurous couple you are!! Very inspirational…… and we especially love watching little occy, he is such a trooper. Thanks so much for filming your journey!
Two books I just read both are on the power of positivity (Cant Hurt Me) and (Power of Now) the first book is based on a true story and knocked my socks off and the second book was amazing as well.
@@MaxLeeandOccy hope you could add this to your itinerary. In Punta Coles National Reserve, there are hundreds of sealyons + pinguins + thousands of birds . The scenery is surreal. The best way to arrive there is from ILO, th-cam.com/video/j1bmMWnJzh4/w-d-xo.html
Another wonderful video of your amazing travels in the van with beautiful Occy. Yes it is truly a stunning part of South America. The memories of my time thirty years ago travelling in my 1969 VW campervan come flooding back. I washed myself in every stream that I came across in those days. I also did not know about geology back then but certainly studied it upon my return to Australia and I would highly recommend that you find out if there is something on your audible podcast about geology in particular South American geology because you will appreciate so much more the magnificence of South America. I wanted to travel in my campervan all my life because the freedom of life experiences is THE most wonderful attribute to such travel. The person(s) who stole my uninsured van in Seville Spain destroyed my dream! And moving on was difficult to readjust to normal life as even you both will find eventually when you need to readjust back to normality after your travels. So enjoy every adventure every day while you can. And may good fortune stay with you and Occy.
Guys. I strongly recommend the lesser-travelled northern route to Kuélap, the 'other Machu Piccu' via Chachapoyas . From there you can drive down to Trapoto (of the famous Harry Potter quidditch team) and on to the Amazon and Yurimaguas on the river. From there, there is marvellous 3 day freight-boat trip to Iquitos. From there you could fly back to collect the van or take a high-speed boat back to Yurimaguas. Great footage of the Andes and the river trip to be got and largely gringo-free.
Loved the Occy cam miss your Mom, she has such a wonderful presence about her. I always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your travels with us.
Every video you post makes me feel like I'm already there! Been following you since this time last year and I can say your videography skills have improved colossally ❤ Great job!!
its amazing how Occy is like a paid actor always on the go when the camera is on. 😂😂😂 he seems to smile all the time. youre awesome buddy! will make an awesome cameraman too!
you know what guys , for the first time i didnot skip the add cuz i just came to know that it would help u guys earn. i love u guys so much. so much positivity.
I visited Peru last September and loved it. I'm so jealous that y'all have so much time to go and see so many things. Watching your videos definitely make me want to go back and explore some more. I don't know if you're planning to go near Lima. If you do, you should definitely visit Barranco. My kids and I spent some time there and just loved the cool artist vibe. Great bars and restaurants too.
You guys are killing it latley! Your cinematics have been awsome, and editing and flow look so professional. Keep it up, this is my favorite travel channel!
Thank you Max n Lee so much for making my lockdown time pass so much better.... and I am already planning all my south east Asia road trips already... thanks for all the inspirations! Love your videos
Amazing video. Those mountains are spectacular but a visible reminder of global warm so I completely understand the mixed emotions. This video in particular you both had so much joy in the experience I could feel it almost coming out of the tv.....I love to see people enjoying the moments of life. And Occy....well, he’s just a beautiful soul full of love and living in his moment all the time. Travel on with love and much peace
Please please be cautious and careful driving in Peru. Lots of truckers and charter buses drive past their permitted time. 💜 Be safe! If you make it to Lima you have to stop by Mangos in Larco Mar on the coast.
Great images as always!! love following what you guys get up to and also seeing your every day van life so hope to keep seeing those details :) lots of hugs from Melbourne! xx
The different colouration is due to different environmental conditions and mineralogy when the sediment was originally deposited and subsequently diagenetically altered. Red colouration of sedimentary layers often indicates iron oxide rust as a trace mineral. Introduction of goethite or oxidized limonite will introduce brownish colouration to sandstones. The bright yellow colouration could be due to iron sulphide as trace minerals. The varying shades of green colour depend on chlorite in different diagenetic states and concentrations
Hey guys! I hope your adventures are going nice and steady; you feed us every Sunday with more and more places to add in to the bucket list! There are many archaeological sites to go in Peru, any on your list for the upcoming videos? It would be great to see all those markets in depth along with the local variety of veggies, could be a great addition to the cuisine and channel ^^ Have a great day guys! Regards from Scotland!
Another awesome adventure. I look forward to your videos every Sunday!! The scenery is absolutely beautiful and Occy looked like he was having a blast. You all look so happy. Have a safe and pawsome week. Love from Daisey and Jan.
It's my 3 fave Vanlifers. Max, Lee, and Occy :) I was just at the vet with my kitty getting her vaccinations updated and there was a flea prevention ad on the wall that immediately brought Occy to mind. I really miss having a dog in my life (not that I don't love my kitty very much) and love watching your wonderful adventures as I dream of getting a van and traveling. My mom loves alpacas so now Peru is on the list for taking her on an adventure sometime in the future.
Aww thanks Cass ❤️ Keep that kitty healthy! We are happy for Occy to be your virtual dog for now to fill the void 🤗Peru is definitely a worthy addition to the list!!
Hi guys. I believe the red colouring is rust from iron oxide and the yellow/orange is iron sulphide. Rainboo is correct if you speak Canadian Max. You need to get oot more. Enjoy the fine weather because the further south you go, the wetter it gets. Mind you, I have been in Santiago too late for the winter rains but it can snow in the city. Safe travels
Occy is the luckiest doggie to have parents like yourself. Love the video thank you for sharing and the van sounds like a great idea. Is great that you are both adventurous.
i have been following your videos for quite sometime now, they are always amazing, informative, lovely editing and the back ground score selections. They are just so amazing. Feels so sad that you guys have taken a break and i am not able to see new posts. Please consider this as my gratitude for showing the world to me through your lens.
Hey Max, Lee and Occy, I have been kind of puzzled since you've been in Peru, and now maybe I know why. I spent a few months in 1994 and 1995/96 hiking through South America's jungles with 2 jungle guides. I wrote about this previously in a few comments. So, since you've been in Peru I have been wondering where exactly you were because everywhere you've shown is like a desert. I don't remember any parts of Peru being like that. Everywhere was lush green everywhere!!! I've heard of the Rainbow Hills in recent years, and thought to myself that I never heard of them until about 3 or 4 years ago. Lee, your comment about the Rainbow Hills being only a recent attraction because the hills used to be under glaciers......... BOOM.......it hit me. Those rolling Green Hills of Jungle Forests....they are now deserts??????????? If this is true.......that would be like a dull dagger to my heart. One of my most amazing visual memories was walking out of the jungle into the rolling hills of lush jungle forest, with the Machu Piccu white limestone structures on the hills in a valley, glaring in the sun like they were the sun itself. That area, for days, was where I had some very amazing spiritual awakenings, not in a religious way, but in a personal way. It was in the Jungles leading to Machu Piccu, and if that is gone...... damn, what a truly sad loss it would be. I feel heartbroken thinking that may be why none of what you have shown in videos of Peru so far seem familiar to me. It was Peru and Argentina that I spent most of the time hiking when I was there both times, Chile was probably the other place I spent the most time in other than Peru and Argentina. If my fears are true.....and that jungle forest is gone........not to sound like an alarmist, but if those jungles are gone, then the planet really is not in a good situation. And it would be so sad because of the Diversity of animals and plants that were there would now be gone forever. I truly hope that's not so. And I hope you get to Machu Piccu, to the rolling hills of Lush Green Jungle Forest (Rain Forest). It's a truly beautiful place that neither pictures or videos could ever capture the beauty of what it is. I also hope if you do trek where I have, that you show some video of it so I can see it and know that it's not gone. Thanks for your travels and helping me relive one of the best parts of my life by being in some of the same places I have been on my hiking through South America.
Matt, as someone who has lived in Peru for a few years, you can rest assured that there is much of the country still covered in Rainforest both mountain and basin. Many people come to Peru and only visit the mountains or the jungle area, but there has always been many desert areas as well.... Mostly a bit inland from the Pacific Ocean before you reach the mountains. You can see this in places like Huacachina and Paracas, but there are many more places as well. The Nazca lines are a good example and if they weren't in the deserts we wouldn't have been able to find them. I don't intend to minimize the risks that logging are presenting the country. The Amazon region is being cut at alarming rates and the effect that would have is global.
@@BrettBodkinsPhotography WHewwww, Thanks Brett, That's a great relief to know! I guess I never saw any desert when I was there, most likely because I was hiking through Rainforest Jungle, not sand dunes. I didn't even see sand.
@@comedianmattrossey Yes, I live in Pucallpa, the first port city on the way into the Amazon. There's alot of jungle, but definitely it's threatened... Not as badly as the glaciers though...

Do you or can you film the night sky? I heard Peru is one of the places on the planet with minimum light pollution. Thanks
Yeah but I think you need special camera to capture the milky way
Yes
That's a good question 🤔We can certainly try!

You guys are killing it latley! Your cinematics have been awsome, and editing and flow look so professional. Keep it up, this is my favorite travel channel!
Thank you Max n Lee so much for making my lockdown time pass so much better.... and I am already planning all my south east Asia road trips already... thanks for all the inspirations! Love your videos
Amazing video. Those mountains are spectacular but a visible reminder of global warm so I completely understand the mixed emotions. This video in particular you both had so much joy in the experience I could feel it almost coming out of the tv.....I love to see people enjoying the moments of life. And Occy....well, he’s just a beautiful soul full of love and living in his moment all the time. Travel on with love and much peace
Please please be cautious and careful driving in Peru. Lots of truckers and charter buses drive past their permitted time. 💜 Be safe! If you make it to Lima you have to stop by Mangos in Larco Mar on the coast.
Great images as always!! love following what you guys get up to and also seeing your every day van life so hope to keep seeing those details :) lots of hugs from Melbourne! xx
The way Occy is looking at the camera is just toooo cute 🧡💛💚💙 love you guys 😘
I love max and Lee ...+occy.
Another amazing video 👍
The different colouration is due to different environmental conditions and mineralogy when the sediment was originally deposited and subsequently diagenetically altered. Red colouration of sedimentary layers often indicates iron oxide rust as a trace mineral. Introduction of goethite or oxidized limonite will introduce brownish colouration to sandstones. The bright yellow colouration could be due to iron sulphide as trace minerals. The varying shades of green colour depend on chlorite in different diagenetic states and concentrations
Hi, I just discovered your videos and they are in my country Peru! welcome and I hope you have had a great time!
Espectacular! Gracias por visitar mi país! 💞👏
Magnificent! Two incredibly happy contented people living the dream! Thanks so much for sharing all this 👨🌾🌹🌹🌹👨🌾
Looks like a magical day in the life living in a van down by the river.
Thanks for bringing us to beautiful places via our computer screen. Hugs to Occy! Keep safe....
Hey guys! I hope your adventures are going nice and steady; you feed us every Sunday with more and more places to add in to the bucket list!
There are many archaeological sites to go in Peru, any on your list for the upcoming videos?
It would be great to see all those markets in depth along with the local variety of veggies, could be a great addition to the cuisine and channel ^^
Have a great day guys! Regards from Scotland!
Peru looks awesome!
How amazing to have it to yourself!!!...Fabulous...see you next week xx Kerrin and Leia xx
The nature of South America is so wonderful!
The dog was also very cute!
It was a great video!
Llamas and alpacas everywhere! Occy might have some competition for his cuteness.
Another awesome adventure. I look forward to your videos every Sunday!! The scenery is absolutely beautiful and Occy looked like he was having a blast. You all look so happy. Have a safe and pawsome week. Love from Daisey and Jan.
It's my 3 fave Vanlifers. Max, Lee, and Occy :) I was just at the vet with my kitty getting her vaccinations updated and there was a flea prevention ad on the wall that immediately brought Occy to mind. I really miss having a dog in my life (not that I don't love my kitty very much) and love watching your wonderful adventures as I dream of getting a van and traveling. My mom loves alpacas so now Peru is on the list for taking her on an adventure sometime in the future.
Aww thanks Cass ❤️
Keep that kitty healthy! We are happy for Occy to be your virtual dog for now to fill the void 🤗Peru is definitely a worthy addition to the list!!
Hi guys. I believe the red colouring is rust from iron oxide and the yellow/orange is iron sulphide.
Rainboo is correct if you speak Canadian Max. You need to get oot more.
Enjoy the fine weather because the further south you go, the wetter it gets. Mind you, I have been in Santiago too late for the winter rains but it can snow in the city. Safe travels
Thanks for the info mate! And yep, we are already finding that about the weather 😢 And ha yes sill me, rainboo it is!
Occy is the luckiest doggie to have parents like yourself. Love the video thank you for sharing and the van sounds like a great idea. Is great that you are both adventurous.
... just keeps getting better... ! Occy enjoying the meat market lol ... tx ~ S
i have been following your videos for quite sometime now, they are always amazing, informative, lovely editing and the back ground score selections. They are just so amazing. Feels so sad that you guys have taken a break and i am not able to see new posts. Please consider this as my gratitude for showing the world to me through your lens.
Hey Max, Lee and Occy,
I have been kind of puzzled since you've been in Peru, and now maybe I know why. I spent a few months in 1994 and 1995/96 hiking through South America's jungles with 2 jungle guides. I wrote about this previously in a few comments.
So, since you've been in Peru I have been wondering where exactly you were because everywhere you've shown is like a desert. I don't remember any parts of Peru being like that. Everywhere was lush green everywhere!!!
I've heard of the Rainbow Hills in recent years, and thought to myself that I never heard of them until about 3 or 4 years ago. Lee, your comment about the Rainbow Hills being only a recent attraction because the hills used to be under glaciers......... BOOM.......it hit me. Those rolling Green Hills of Jungle Forests....they are now deserts??????????? If this is true.......that would be like a dull dagger to my heart. One of my most amazing visual memories was walking out of the jungle into the rolling hills of lush jungle forest, with the Machu Piccu white limestone structures on the hills in a valley, glaring in the sun like they were the sun itself. That area, for days, was where I had some very amazing spiritual awakenings, not in a religious way, but in a personal way. It was in the Jungles leading to Machu Piccu, and if that is gone...... damn, what a truly sad loss it would be. I feel heartbroken thinking that may be why none of what you have shown in videos of Peru so far seem familiar to me. It was Peru and Argentina that I spent most of the time hiking when I was there both times, Chile was probably the other place I spent the most time in other than Peru and Argentina.
If my fears are true.....and that jungle forest is gone........not to sound like an alarmist, but if those jungles are gone, then the planet really is not in a good situation. And it would be so sad because of the Diversity of animals and plants that were there would now be gone forever. I truly hope that's not so. And I hope you get to Machu Piccu, to the rolling hills of Lush Green Jungle Forest (Rain Forest). It's a truly beautiful place that neither pictures or videos could ever capture the beauty of what it is. I also hope if you do trek where I have, that you show some video of it so I can see it and know that it's not gone.
Thanks for your travels and helping me relive one of the best parts of my life by being in some of the same places I have been on my hiking through South America.
Matt, as someone who has lived in Peru for a few years, you can rest assured that there is much of the country still covered in Rainforest both mountain and basin. Many people come to Peru and only visit the mountains or the jungle area, but there has always been many desert areas as well.... Mostly a bit inland from the Pacific Ocean before you reach the mountains. You can see this in places like Huacachina and Paracas, but there are many more places as well. The Nazca lines are a good example and if they weren't in the deserts we wouldn't have been able to find them. I don't intend to minimize the risks that logging are presenting the country. The Amazon region is being cut at alarming rates and the effect that would have is global.
@@BrettBodkinsPhotography WHewwww, Thanks Brett, That's a great relief to know! I guess I never saw any desert when I was there, most likely because I was hiking through Rainforest Jungle, not sand dunes. I didn't even see sand.
@@comedianmattrossey Yes, I live in Pucallpa, the first port city on the way into the Amazon. There's alot of jungle, but definitely it's threatened... Not as badly as the glaciers though...
Awesome drone shots & your video content is gorgeous..!
