Good tips, thanks, we're heading to Peru in May.
Oh AWESOME! Thanks for your feedback, have a great time in Peru! 😁
Watching from Brisbane Australia, will be visiting Peru in April 2024. Thank you so much for sharing. It really helps! 😊✈️🥾🧦🎒🗺️
Hello BRISBANE! Thank you so much and have a great trip! 👍
Thanks again for a good Peru vid.
Do you have any videos on phrases to learn before travelling to that area or any recommendations? Is a general spanish phrase book good enough?
Thank you for your feedback! This is a video I did on our top 8 tours we did! Have a look! We speak very little Spanish and did okay! Many people speak English especially in the touristy areas. Thanks again for watching! 😁

Thank you so much for great video. I am visiting peru next week. Do you happen to know the best coffee (coffee bean or ground coffee) to buy and from where ?
Oh, how exciting! I don't know coffee THAT well....all I know is there are coffee shops everywhere! Have a great time! If you need a guide for Machu Picchu...Carlos is great. I've left his WhatsApp in the description of other Peru videos I did. 👍
@@wattstraveling thank you for your reply.
Hi .. great information. Which neighborhood in Cusco did you book your Airbnb at?
Hi there! 👋 thanks for your feedback! The first airbnb was near the airport, the second airbnb was in the San Blas area (more walkable) to plaza del Armas! Thank you for watching!
Hi, thank you for your video, we are going to Peru in three weeks time for two weeks. We already have our itinerary organized. I’m a big fan of crochet and would love to buy some alpaca yarn. Did you see any places where they sold just yarn? Much appreciated 🧶😍
Hi there Denise! Thanks for watching!! YES! I did see it in Pisac and in Cusco! You'll find some, but I can't remember the names of the places..... one was like a weekend market? But I know you'll find some in the stores, try San Pedor market! 👍 have a great trip! We love Peru ❤️
Thank you so much for your prompt reply 🙏🏻😊I’ll look out for the stores and markets 👍😊😍
Great drone footage DJI mini 2?
Thank you very much! Dji 3 pro 👍appreciate the feedback ❤️
Great video and tips, certainly very helpful. I'll be visiting Peru in mid July. Got a question about the currency. If you've to visit Peru again, how will you manage the local currency? Here in the States, I bank with Chase. I'll certainly check with them as you've suggested here. I believe certain high-end hotels offer currency exchange as well and so does the airports (although I'll be reaching Lima late at night). Have you considered using something like Wise debit card? You can deposit $ to your Wise account and then use the debit card to get cash in local currency in Peru. I believe most places like tour companies, restaurants, gift shops, hotels accept US cc. But still better to carry some local currency. Will appreciate your suggestions....
Hi there! Thank you for your feedback! ❤️
Definitely check with your bank for international connections, you could always bring some cash to get you started(in local currency) many places take American money, you might not get the best rate on exchange..... but people use it all the time there, it's not uncommon. Many tour groups you can use visa as well, I think they'll charge a few percent more for using cards(like in many countries) but that seems easy enough and won't deplete your cash. I've never used the Wise card, never felt I needed to.
Have a wonderful time in Peru! We LOVED it! 😍
@@wattstraveling Thanks for the prompt response. My hotel is already booked - JW Marriott. I'll be booking all the tours in advance. Will carry some US $ as well. I just need to figure out what's easiest and best way to get some local currency to use for tipping and buying gifts from small local shops. Not too sure I'll have time to visit a bank there. Let's see.......
@dzongrila1 ohhhh the JW ..... NICE! great location too! Don't stress yourself out, just bring some local currency with you..... order it from your bank it shouldn't take long for them to get it. Many gift shops you can use cards as well (if you're buying from shops).... but not the little lady selling goods on the trails/tours. You'll be fine! 👍
Hi… thx so much for this video. I’m going with 4 kids (ages 18-24) Aug 1-15th. We were going to spend first half Cuzco, second half Lima. We were going to do the 3-4 day macchu picchu Inca trail hike. However, the subtle complaining has begun. I don’t want to spend that money if I’m going to hear complaining
along the way. The day hikes you showed may be a great alternative. If you were going to go with 4 (18-24 yr olds,) which day hikes would you recommend, and how much altitude acclimation time would you recommend?
Hi there! You are most welcome! I'd give yourself atleast 2 days to get acclimated.....3-4 MP Inca trail is challenging.... but there will be lots of people you'll meet along the way....I honestly think once they are there, they'll enjoy it and remember it forever. We really enjoyed Ausangate..... and Palccoyo.... always good options. Have a great time.... you'll love it! ❤️
belle Cusco
Hi there Bruno, thank you for watching!
Please advise on tipping in Peru
Ohhh, that's a good one! Tipping is not expected! Thank you for watching
My flight to Lima is September 20 @10pm. Do you know any buses leaving Lima to Cusco at night? I hope to sleep in the bus and be energetic when I arrive in Cusco.
I'm having trouble buying machu pitchu ticket from the Peru official website, tickets are sold for 3 days. Could it be that the local tour operators bought all the tickets for sale with commission? If so, have you seen travel agency selling machu pitchu ticket?
Is it easy to buy bug spray from the local pharmacy or supplement? I'm flying budget airlines so cannot bring more than carry-on which already costing extras
The website indicates routes/ circuit for tickets, which circuit is the easiest since I have old knee injuries. Any tips will be great, thanks
Hi there! There are busses leaving cusco at different times, I would recommend spending the money on the seats that fly recline 180 degrees, because honestly the roads are SO WINDY and BUMPY it's hard to sleep. Machu Picchu tickets were the only thing we bought a month in advance, but yes there are MANY company's wanting to sell you tours. We did circuit #2, and loved it! I believe 3 and 4 are the shorter ones(but click the link in the description box) to read each one! Many places sell bug spray, not to worry! 👍Have a great trip and thank you for watching! ❤️.... oh and book Carlos as your tour guide, he's great 😊
@@wattstraveling thanks for your reply. I'm budget traveler and it's already prepped for 3 or 4 airlines to charge me for Carry on bag on each segment 😭 does the Peru domestic flight charge for carry-on bag?
I will shop for travel agency in Cusco when I arrive to rainbow mountain and lake Titicaca day trip.
I have visited half of the world UNESCO heritage sites around the world, never hire a tour guide 😊 I paid for a horse ride in Petra, the horse owner became a tour guide to ride next to me😁
@___beyondhorizon4664 I never flew domestic while we were in Peru! We don't usually hire guides either, but this time we did! And yeah, airlines have been staying to charge for carryons now which sucks! Have a great trip. 👍
Wow wanting everything answered in one post. Ever hear of Google? Travel guides? Book stores?
Sometimes, firsthand experience is better than any books or travel guides! I don't mind the help or questions 😁👍
Will be leaving for Cusco in a week. In terms of money exchange, are there banks where you can do money exchanges or is it like some European countries (Portugal for example) where banks will not do money exchanges.
Oh exciting! There are banks everywhere, we used Scotiabank..... didn't bring money to exchange just withdrew money from the bank when we were there.... There are exchange places in the square of you need it! 👍 Have a great time!!
How did you feel safety wise there during this time?
We did a lot of walking in various areas and felt completely safe the entire time. 👍
Amazing! And you were there recently right?!
@stephanierobinson7085 Yes! Just left end of June this year! 👍
Is bringing/exchanging cash necessary? Or should I just pay with visa ?
Hi there! Having some local currency is always a good idea, many of the places we went charged an extra 3ish% when using credit card. Hope that helps! Have a great trip!
Good place to retire ???
Thx
Hi there...Peru is definitely a beautiful country! 😍
Was there any civil unrest while you were in Peru?
Hi there! We did see very well controlled protests but nothing that made me feel unsafe. Great question! Thanks for watching
@@wattstraveling , thank you . That's good to know!
Peru is too far from me😢
Awe sorry to here! Thank you for watching, means alot ❤️
Pastries in Peru are not fresh, they can be a few days old. I spent 2 months in Peru and visited many cities. I always ask for fresh pasties and coffee for breakfast. It is a rare find for fresh pastries that same day.
Day Olds or not.....I still thought they are yummy! Lol thank you for watching, we can't wait to go back!
