- Where Desert Meets Sea - Peru's Pacific Coast | Nature Documentary
Watch 'Wild Journey - Chile: Country of Contrasts' here: • Wild Chile - A Country...
Dramatically, the coast plunges into the sea, the so-called Costa of Peru is a gigantic desert on the Pacific Ocean, 2,400 kilometers long. Rugged, bizarre, like from another star. Ancient cultures settled here, the Moche and the Chimú. Later the proud Inca, the self-proclaimed royal people of the Andes, ruled.
In the small town of Huanchaco in northern Peru, the fishermen build a new boat every month: from reed. The small ships are called Caballito de Totora (reed horses), because the shape is reminiscent of a horse and the fishermen ride in it kneeling in the waves. About 2,000 years ago, the moche used it to go out to sea. Carlos Segura Azola is a descendant of the moche. He is currently building a "reed horse" again. But actually something completely different occupies him. Carlos has been afraid of the sea ever since his father drowned at work. The fisherman consults a Brucha, a witch. She tries to drive him out of panic at the Pacific with mysterious ceremonies. At some point Carlos' reed boat is finished and he has to get out to his nets again.
In the south, in the port city of Pisco, there are hardly any private cars. Mototaxis on three wheels are the means of transport here. Every moto looks different, because the young drivers compete with each other. They constantly pimp out their tricycles with spoilers, mirrors and all kinds of decorations. Because if you stand out in the traffic jam, you get the most passengers.
But nowhere else in Peru is road traffic as dense and chaotic as in the capital Lima. That's why Juan Ortiz goes daily with his Delta glider over the coastal road into the air. He is the flying reporter and reports live for the traffic news. And he is not alone with his aircraft. Dozens of paragliders float along the cliffs of Lima at any time of the day. The Pacific provides a constant upwind on the up to 160 meter high cliffs.
Somewhere in the labyrinth of the metropolis of millions hundreds of believers trot to the beat of the music of a Jesus statue on the cross. A procession for the "Lord of Miracles", the brass band intones church songs. The music student Bruno Alvarado drags and plays the largest instrument, a sousaphone. Every day there are dozens of processions in Lima. Practical for Bruno, he finances his studies with the musical accompaniment.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, in the Paracas National Park, it is deserted. Luis Zapato runs a kiosk on a lonely beach amidst huge sand dunes. The kiosk has meanwhile developed into a gourmet temple, even the capital city dwellers flock here. Especially because of the scallops that Luis is the only licence holder to collect far and wide from the seabed. Inti Mar he called his beach snack, Inti is the sun god, Mar the sea. At Luis you literally eat like a sun god at the sea. This is only possible here, on the Inca coast.

He’e nalu ( surfing) belong only to the kanaka maoli, not a 1000 years but 10,000 this was the medicine of joy the gift from infinity! We not only surf the shore but the open seas from wa’a to wa’a with the kanaka is the legendary sacred plant and the ancient legend of “KELEA” from western history is always In accurate always twisting the mo’olelo to lies . Our ancient chants tell the truth. Here to a beautiful people I indigenous people of Peru who may have road their wa’a on the shores but He’e nalu is the gift from the universe to the Hawaiians
Oh
Yes definetly on the list, i think capital Lima is small beautiful city..thx for sharing the video 👍🏻
Beautiful country with hard working people
This video just boosted the tourism in Peru, well done!
And they didn't even show the mountains and the jungles, which I can promise are even more epic. I used to live there.
@@whoever6458 I was just thinking the scallops and pisco sours with both the ocean and desert were making me want to live there!
The girl in a blue bikini will attract men en masse.
I visited Lake Titicaca and Luna in the last week of September 2023. It was very weird stepping on the floating island, because it's not solid. I was in a hurry because I signed up for a tour before I departed Cusco. The others wanted to have lunch on the island but I was in a hurry to get back to the Pier. No wonder I was exhausted, I didn't realized that it was on such high altitude 😢
In fact, I woke up every morning in Cusco with headache. I was told not to drink coffee but drink coca leaf tea, but I wanted coffee in the morning and it's too much caffeine to drink both.
There was no altitude problem in Lima but it was time to fly home. I was in Peru for 9 days, Cusco 3 nights, lake Titicaca/ Puna 1 day, 2 days at Machu Pichu, a day hiking/ horseback ride to the Rainbow Mountain
Spectacular. We loved traveling to Peru. Their food is some of the best in the world.
22:14. I love this ped Driver. A classic example of the Male Bird. Showing off his sparkling plumage. Also.
Peru is a gem. The lack of rain is very surprising.
Its the rain shadow effect.. and the fact that winds blow E to W. in those latitudes the Amazon forest recycles the rain up to the E foothills of the Andes.
They are so high they squeeze the rain out so most of the water falls and glows back into the Amazonian catchment.. The Pacific side of the divide is left very dry.
The mountains are formed by the Pacific plate diving under the S. American plate.
I chose to watch this because it’s real, it’s interesting and it isn’t about bad news and scary stuff like most all the other documentaries that the algorithm is barfing at me.
It’s easy to hit a thumbnail by mistake too.
So you prefer to keep your head in the sand?
@@shadetreader it gets wearisome, 2011 or so, ppl found a manufactured open forum. One had to pick their forums, before that, and before that?. There was mainly magazines (the internet being basically, a digital magazine, pages and pages of it, but a magazine nonetheless?. Interesting side note, magazines were very prevalent, tv ads for them constantly, (whereas, it’s mainly insurance products now?), but, I digress, before social media (BSM?), “research”, (as ppl like to call it?), took a very different form, taking note of what “they” said, as opposed to what they do. This took time, and if we had the luxury of today’s bandwidth?, and hindsight?, I don’t think the world would be in the position it finds itself in. (What were we to do, with our “suspicions”. Tell a journalist?).
Any amount of activism, would have fell on deaf ears (moreso than now, even?), but I sincerely hope, a genuinely informed generation, may have a better chance, of making positive change, for the betterment of us all.
I will help, where I can.
Same but the more I've watched the more that are similar are recommended.

Very nice. It is good to know the life of other countries away from the Western world. Thank you.
Perú is Amazing.
The Peruvian Food is delicious, the best
Carlos you are a brave man to take on Tangaroa the sea to get your self kai this way all your life.
I take my hat of to you and your brother who makes these little boats without the use of nails or wood.
What a beautiful village you live in so colorful and full of life.
My Maori forefathers traversed the Pacific in hugh things called Waka.
They were known as the sailors of the Pacific long before Europeans ever reached over this side of our world of plenty.
They used hugh trees with it's centre cut out on double hold Waka joined together in the middle with weeds perhaps from your country of Peru that held sales in the middle to be used to catch winds to help their forward motions.
The stares gave them the knowledge of travel across the mighty seas.
Peru gave them the kumara, rewai, gourds and possible corn to help[ sustain them in their new lands right across the Pacific to Aotearoa.
I have enjoyed your Doco and this should go along way of encouraging more to come visit your villages with their egg white, lime and surgery drinks.
I grow limes here I'll need to try your drink to see if I to will like it.
Thanks!
Captivating scenery and narration. Thanks.
a very beautiful sea view, so spoil the eyes of every visitor,,, have a nice day ❤️❤️❤️
The scallops and the pisco sours are making me want to live there! And it has both ocean and desert? I like it. All that's missing is a few little islands with turquoise water. It's seriously about perfect!
There are beautiful beaches near, in Piura and Tumbes
It's refreshing to see a different culture and it's people ! Thankyou!🙈🙉🙊🌍💗

This documentary I truly enjoyed the amazing people & culture of Peru. Those young gentlemen with their taxi's have pride ambition & earning a living is wonderful to see.💗💯👌
You are mucho brave Carlos... best of luck.
It'ss fascinating to see otherpeople'ss lives and how different they are around the world
he should use the chaman money to pay for swimming lessons
It makes one wonder why the fishermen do not wear Life Preservers. This is one of the better documentary videos of countries and people that I have viewed.
Or more shockingly, don't know how to swim.
@@nunyabiznes33how shocking, people get old and deteriorate Einstein
Awesome.. love all the time spent making this amazing trip to peru
This narration was quite unique ✨
Loved it!
Oh good! So glad 😀

9.5.2023.Very good and best.Thank you..
Nice! Peru. ❤️✨🌎🌃🇵🇭
A great documentary about the beauty of Peru's coast... although in the tropics..the landscape is a desert... The Pacific Ocean provides one of the best fishes in the world, thereafter the reputation of Peruvian cuisine...
PERU LO MAXIMO ----ESTE DESIERTO ES HERMOSO.
This taught me a number of things, thanks so much.
I lived in Lima for a while. I recommend it to everyone. Good people; beautiful country and this documentary didn't even touch the mountains or the jungles.
What a compelling snapshot of a place I know very little about except that it is the home of Raul Ruidiaz.
its very diverse and beautiful here, check more documentaries about Peru.
Moto guys rock. Looks like fun. Great video!!
Thanks for sharing,shared.
I called it, Pure Escapism.
Brilliant film. Very enjoyable
The Peru Andes mountain is over 17,000 foot, cover with snow, similar to the mt Everest Basecamp.

Looks like a very clean place and usually that means a decent quality of life.
Love Peru and Peruvian’s 👍
Tuc Tuc Neymar Jr. ....😁😁😁😁🤭🤭🥰🥰😍😍👏👏
The voice of BROUWERS makes the documentary so amazing
Very enjoyable show, .... thanks! The farthest south I've been, in the western hemisphere, is Belize. I should get down to S. American b4 I die. Plus, I'm a rock climber......
Off you go to more southerly spaces then 😀
wonderful- thank you for sharing
Great vid. Learned a lot. What did concern me, was that the fisherman couldn't swim. It's a skill, like reading, that should be manditorily taught to all people. And,,damn, that food looked delicious. Like the kitchen pyrotechnics.🤔😎😬
In Australia, you couldn’t do any other sport in high school,until you can swim 50m. (It’s done in middle school, or was in my day).
As soon as that dude added those bus mirrors to his Moto made me want to go for a ride in it.
Enjoyed the documentary from India 🇮🇳.
Excelente documental.
Lima is one of my favorite places to work....South to Ica. Search "Stones of Ica".
For shopping I like Miraflores. Jewelry and Alpaca clothing. A big hit with my wife and female relatives here in SE Tennessee. I'm a military contractor and also volunteer to protect medical missionaries. I have never seen the mountain areas of Machu Pichu. Had planned to visit with my wife but not looking good. We had planned to even but a hotel near Ica catering to American missionaries and tourists. THEN granddaughters came along to live with us. It actually looks more inviting all the time.
If you visit once you will keep returning.
From ceylon I was with you, very adventurous, and I appreciate you ❤,
Awesome documentary...I would like to visit Peru soon
Gota love the 3wheeler taxi guy. He’s carrying 4 x the weight of the vehicle. And only one and half passengers fit. Inside. God bless him
MY GOD IF I WAS A BIT YOUNGER AND IN GOOD HEALTH, I WOULD DEFFINATLY VISIT THIS PART OF THE WORLD, JUST LOVE WHAT I HAVE SEEN OF THIS LOCATION, GREAT VIDEO, THANK YOU 👍🏴👍🏴👍🏴
I thoroughly enjoyed this window.
Thank you.
Very Interesting.
God bless you Carlos 🙏
Amazing Documentary.
wonderful documentary!!
Great documentary
Nice documentary! Very good information ✅
Wow 😍 nice documentary, very informative. 👏👏👏
Watching from Thailand 🇹🇭❤️
Swimming lessons are super important. We didn't get them because my mother didn't/doesn't like how she looks in a swimsuit (40 years she hasn't worn one) and was apparently the first woman to have baby weight after giving birth to two boys (separated by 3 years). Never went to beach/pools bc she would have to wear a swimsuit. I got them as an adult and became a lifeguard in 2 years.
🤔 your mother was aware that she herself, if not wanting to wear a bathing suit, could have just not worn one/went swimming...right!? 🤷🏻♂️
Beatiful. Peru.
Sometimes, I can relate to that. Feeling sooo self conscious that it takes complete control over your activities! but I have to go and do things with my kids and just suck it up for them. For lessons, parents don’t join in so they have to change. My son is in a swim club, and just watch from the sidelines 😅 I’m glad you can swim!
WOW,,SUPER AWESOME
Lawa nya pulau 🏝️
Informative video.... From Assam North East of India 🌹🙏
😅modern witch.but ifind hard to watch🎉 good catch❤
Good...kinda interesting!
I've been here and it's amazing !!!
Very cool, would love to visit
Ossom 👍🤩
Wows good 👍
Mother nature. God is always great, great creation.
Nice 🥰🥰🥰
"I love the country of Peru as a whole country Te Amo Peru coming from the Philippines .?!"
Isn’t the coast friggin amazing?!
Peru is just lovely
@@rajdialnandram5676 I'm hoping that after the Coronavirus pandemic/epidemic I can either visit, live in or both there in Peru so much beauty I wish things will get better in the country soon.
Peru has a lot of common with philipines like santa rosa de Lima ;)
@41:00 instead why didn't someone from the camera crew teach him how to swim? 🤷🏾♂️ I would've gladly taught him how to swim to get over his fear 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Love all the videos, thanks
I hope that young man builds himself a fleet of motos😍
Surprising to see an Indian company (Bajaj) manufacturing those three wheelers (which we call auto or tuk tuk here in India) Peru ❤ India
What an ideal place to site solar and wind power, plus pumped-hydro energy storage facilities using the ocean itself as the lower reservoir.
St. Rose 🌹 pray for us !
Consider the Basque, Portuguese or Spanish who built their water craft from timber...?
This is a perfect example of "Necessity is the Mother of Invention"
Great video, story !
I'll have to try the parmesan cheese with my usual garlic and butter for bay scallops.
Lol, I made note of that as well.
30:20 That's my city (Comas District), one of the poorest Districts in the Capital Lima. I moved to USA 25 years ago.
Now is not populated by poor people anymore. Unfortunattely an owner of a gym was sequestered and they are asking for 2 million soles.
Peruvian food is my favorite ….
I wish Antonio could see this! He now lives in North Carolina.
Carlos may benefit from the old witches treatment but I don't think swimming lessons would hurt his self confidence, either.
Good luck Carlos!
South american people are nice, they are like Kiwis and islanders. Friendly and very accomodating.
24:36 the guy is a TRUE AMERICAN CAPITALIST !!! I get so frustrated with my White race that doesn't realize Americans ARE the WHOLE continent, White Black, Brown and 50 shades between each! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
No. American means a citizen of the USA, at least, in America 🥴
Oh, I want those flambéed scallops right now!
These fellows with the Moto's remind me of the Mods in England who had the Vespa scooters. It was about making the best out of what you had available. Which wasn't much.
By luck, I was in Lima during Easter.
👍👍👍
At 42:00. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Boy sure doesn't want those teeth, does he? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Its AMAZING to me that an adult doesn't know he's ripping his gums loose. 😥😥😰😰😰😥😰😥 Or shocking, I mean. 💋💋💋💋
I remember reading about the Ra expeditions in National Geographic when I was a kid.
35:40 I don't have any more confidence in a Harvard Doctor than this old witch. They're the same. They work on human bodies & minds. If she can convince him he's cured, then isn't he? 🤩 Yes! But she knows he has deep fear. She's as good at guessing his diagnosis as any doctor Stateside!
You are 100% correct. Except for Loma Linda Hospital in California. He should go there for a doctor and ask them to work WITH the Shaman.
Holistic medicine by Shamans are more than old, useless remedies. As we've all learned. A great thing would be if both these doctors respected each other and collaborated. You are 👍👍👍👍👍👍 right!!!!!! 💋💋💋💋💋
THIS VIDEO JUST BOOSTED THE TOURISM IN PERU , WLL DONE!
The man had " Finlandia vodka " on his T-shirt. Hmm, a connaisseur!
In Peru, even poor people eat good.
Think about that one for a second..
Sure seem like nice people there. Makes me want to move. There is no better place to life then around good people.
Most of the people I met when I lived there were extremely genuine people. I wish I could move back.
I wish Antonia could see this. He is from Peru and now lives in NC.
