- There are wonders of the world and then there are places on planet earth that seem like they deserve an upper echelon category. Machu Picchu is certainly one of those places. The lost city of the Incas, also known as the Old Mountain (Machu Pikchu), is a 15th-century Inca site located 2,430 meters above sea level. Visiting Machu Picchu again for a second time was a reconfirmation of its ability to impress all over again. We toured the site, this time around with a guide, on the first day with rainy conditions in the morning and overcast by the afternoon. On the second day, it was just gorgeous and sunny outside from the moment we arrived. My biggest tip for anyone visiting Machu Picchu is to budget several days to visit the site because of its sheer size and how unpredictable the weather can be.

Machu Picchu Travel Video Transcript:
So do you think people will be able to guess where we are based on the landscape? I'm not too sure. It's quite foggy right now. Where could we be? What could be off in the distance? Good question. Should we tell? Yes. It is Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu. That is Machu Picchu guys. Breathtaking is it not?
This is a baby llama having breakfast. Breakfast time.
Can you give us an update on the current situation? So the current situation is that it has stopped raining. Yes. And it is starting to clear a bit. We're hopeful. Right now it is eight thirty six, and we're hopeful that maybe around ten or eleven, if it doesn't rain again, that we'll have some sunshine. Clear visibility of Machu Picchu. Get those iconic views. Yeah.
We know that the Quechua people were able to mummify people. But they used to mummify some important people from their culture. So they used to mummify to the royal family, they used to mummify to some people who were part of the high class people. So then they'd take the bodies. The mummies into the cave and they'd put them you know in the fetal position because they used to believe that they could enter into a different life after this life.
Rocking the new hats. The chuyos. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So the soldiers possibly used this to place the torch. The fire. Okay. But also they could maybe place here a pet which was maybe a llama or this was maybe an alpaca that they would use to sacrifice in one of the temples.
So here we're checking out an Inca toilet. Is it an en-suite? I'd say so.
What are we doing Audrey? Getting our Machu Picchu stamp. So this one is yours. Ready. Ta da.
Welcome to my home. This is the living area. It still needs to be furnished. And this over here is going to be a little reading nook and I'm put my books there, there and there.
Alright, so we found a nice quiet spot here and I want to know your impressions of coming back to Machu Picchu for a second time?
Okay, so Sam, you visited Machu Picchu about six years ago, how has does this trip compare to that one?
This is like night and day. Six years ago I was the ultimate cheapskate backpacker. I came to Machu Picchu using the cheapest transportation route possible. Basically I took this van on this really twisty serpentine off-road area and then I went across on this cable car using this wooden trolley. It was really dangerous.
Okay, so now next question. I know people always see Machu Picchu in documentaries, postcards, magazines. Do you think it is important for people to see it in person? Yeah, absolutely. It's actually one of these wonders of the world that actually lives up to its reputation. And what I really think, what I really get out of coming to Machu Picchu is just a sense of the sheer scale of the place. Like it is massive. When you come here and walk around you get a really good sense of just how big this lost city of the Inca's is. Woo hoo! Go Machu Picchu!
This is part of our Travel in Peru series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Peruvian culture, Peruvian arts, Peruvian foods, Peruvian religion, Peruvian cuisine and Peruvian people. All things Peruano. The best of Comida Peruana and Cocina Peruana.

+milly larios That's awesome! When did you first go?
+Samuel & Audrey I went to Machu Picchu back in July 2013 and it was amazing but would definitely like to go back and explore more! By the way I love your videos! Especially the ones in Peru! They always give me great ideas on what to do when I go to Peru!

But seriously, those rocks are awesome. Great work

Jim.
+evogardens LOL, we'll have to work on getting on of those ;) Thank you!

+antking1117 It's good exercise!
Great trip! I'm glad you liked it! I feel so excited with your videos of my country and food :D! Thanks for sharing Peru to the world :)
+Adri Mani Thank you very much! We had a great time in Peru once again :)
Very inspiring. This lovely couple seem to balance the destination with sharing themselves. That is not easy. What you are left with is an engaging guide and some very useful information.
I leave for Iquitos and Machu Picchu in February 2018. Can’t wait.
Thank you very much! That is exciting to hear! Have a great trip.
MACHU PICCHU MARAVILLA DEL MUNDO.

+Arman32279 Thank you! :)
Defino el video en una palabra increible !
I just subcribed! I love your videos!! You guys are so cute! #obsessed
I'm going to Peru in December, so excited Cant wait!
Thank you! How exciting! Less than 2 months away.
Hi Audrey and Sam, how much time you need to do this tour from Cusco? I am planning to go there hopefully in August if everything will go back to normal. Cheers!
You can do the day hike like us and then visit Machu Picchu the following day. So minimum would be 2 days but if you want a longer hike and more time at Machu Picchu 4-5 days would be recommended.
@@samuelandaudrey Thanks for the reccomendations.
Peru is definitely amazing ! you are so fun guys!!!! come back again !! :D
Thank you! It sure is. We plan to come back again next year :)
You guys are definitely the most enviable couple that I know!! travel everywhere :-)-Rachel
+The Drunken Bear Thank you! We're fortunate to be able to travel.
+The Drunken Bear Thank you! We're fortunate to be able to travel.
I was there almost a month ago. Thankfully the weather cooperated!
+Luke Hinkle Very cool! We sure lucked out as well. It poured after we left.
What a great video! Loved the energy of it. This is one of those places that has been on our list for ages. It was also nice to hear you compare this experience with your previous one. There are only a few places we want to go back to so its encouraging to see that you still enjoy it. When do you think is the best time of year to go and how long do you need to explore the place?
+John Inverso Thank you! I would suggest in April or May. The weather is a bit better (right now is the rainy season and you'll avoid the peak season of June to August when it is incredibly hot and packed. I would say at least full days to take in Machu Picchu would be best.
you guys look good in your hats! love watching you!-Tabitha
+Tab C Thank you very much! They kept us warm :)
Are there usually that many people there this time of year? Makes me so excited for my travels, this place is on my bucket list!
+Lozzzaaa55 To avoid the crowds I would suggest lingering around during lunchtime and also later on in the day. It is busiest in the morning. A great bucket list addition. I hope you can visit soon :)
+Samuel & Audrey okay great! Thanks for the advice :)
+Lozzzaaa55 - A couple of things you have to consider, high tourist season and rain. Best month is end of April and May, because of end of rainy season and less tourists. Hight tourist season is June and July, less availability in hotels and even tickets to see M.P.
+taj400 thanks! I think I'll end up being there march/April, depending on other travel, going to take my time haha
Thank you for visiting my country! I recommend Arequipa there is a place call "Valle del Colca" Is amazing.
Thanks! We loved it. I hope we can go there next time :)
Wow looks amazing! Was never attracted much to Latin America but now I have to go and see this. What was the atmosphere like? Is it eerie when it's that clouded or more magical? Thank you for sharing your experience!
+EnterpriseMe TV The atmosphere is special no matter what the weather. As you mentioned, when the clouds are rolling in it does feel a bit eerie and when you have clear skies it is incredible to be able to see everything in all directions.
Parabéns pelo vídeo amigos. Eu também fiz um vídeo para
Canal Rock n Trip em 2015. Foi a melhor viagem que realizei
Good helpful video...which month is this btw? SEP/oct??
Great Video!
+19brandon66 Thank you!
Hola chicos,se fueron lejos..que hermoso el Machu Pichu..me hubiese gustado conocerlo..el traductor del ingles no me gusta mucho..asi que aprecio el paisaje..BELLISIMO..MIL GRACIAS
Wonderful scenery. One day we will get there. What sort of accommodation do you have for your overnight stay? Camping?
+Anna Mcarthur Thank you! If you do the longer trek you'll camp out but what we did was stay in the town just outside of Machu Picchu (Aguas Calientes) which has hotels and lots of restaurants.
Nice to follow Your travels. Im curious to learn what movie editorial program you guys use?
+Siggi Thanks! Premiere Elements or Windows Movie Maker.
Hi guys, really nice video!! which month did you go there ?
Than you very much! We visited in late January.
I experienced the same situation where it was soooo foggy in the morning when I arrived. luckily it cleared up after about 10 am. which tour did you do?
+James_Dean Wow! I think we were quite lucky then to experience diverse weather. We went with Action Treks Peru and they were great :)
Beautiful Thank some much for visit Perú.
We had a great time :)
Daniel Caballero
Awesome video what camera do you use? I never made it to macchi picchu bc I got altitude sickness and had to leave under emergency my oxygen levels were extremely low. But I did last 10 days in cusco what a beautiful place . Love you guys!
+Lepuffproductions Thank you! Oh, sorry to hear about your experience. We all struggled a bit before our trek but we were okay during it. We use an Olympus OMD E5M II and a Canon G7 X.
loved your video! i just had a question , im planning to go this march and i heard its rainy season during that time, if its really rainy , is there a risk they can close down the trains (Peru Rail/Inca Rail) for the day due to weather conditions?im just worried the weather will risk ruining plans, and thanks!
Thank you! It would have to be seriously heavy rains for that to happen and I guess it is quite rare.
Love it!
+Perrin Partee :)
Perú is beautiful.
very nice vídeo.
is a wonderful experency.
the most delicious food.
wellcome all todo Peru
Thank you very much! We loved our time in Peru :)
In what month did you go? Great video, btw!
Sigo viendo sus videos.chicos🙋
Muchas gracias Gisella!
Great video. I hope you buy a lot of wool clothes while you are there, in case it is a while till your next visit in that area. I think the quality of the alpakka wool is special. Am I right? You will be "back" every time you put the warm wool on in the future.
+Kari H Thank you! Yes, the quality is excellent and the prices are very reasonable.
Your videos are so inspiring! What do you both do for work/income?! I would love to be able to travel so much!
+CrankUpTheAmps Thank you! We work online so it allows us to be mobile. We spend way too much time in front of the computer ;)
+Samuel & Audrey Well it looks like it's all VERY worth it! :D I've been browsing through a lot of your videos and you really have been ALL OVER!! How awesome!
I love your videos. they are really helpful. quick question, what mode of transportation you ride from Cusco to Machu Pichu? I am a little bit of lost finding a train going to Aguas Calientes. Can you recommend a place to stay in Cusco? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the video guys .... could you kindly let me know when this was? which time of the year its very overcast and rainy
!Que fantastico !!!!!!! !Que Viva El Peru Damas y Caballeros!!!!!!!
Gracias!
Oh wow ! Great trip ! I
Thanks! A dream to visit there.
Yes I'm sure :)
La MARAVILLA mas hermosa de AMERICA.
Thanks for the vídeo. My vídeo is beautiful
Yeah, the hotties went to MP!. Yupi!!. ha-ha. As usual. A great vid. Keep enjoying ;)
+scca1408 Thank you!!!
what will be the best way to get there from cuzco ,, thanks for the amazing video , any tip ??
Train would be the easiest but not the cheapest.
aun siguen en peru ? saludos
Great video! How long did you stay there until the rain cleared?
Thank you! It cleared fast. Within an hour. The weather can change so quickly at Machu Picchu.
So true! We went up super early so we were done earlier and as soon as we returned to our hotel it started raining super super strong and we just thought poor people just coming up there. however the rain passed fairly quick.
Hi have you guys finnished your bucket list?
+dathurt I think the problem is that if keeps expanding ;)
Thank you for sharing this wonderful place. Also, I love to see young people not squandering their youth. Enjoy these years, they go fast.
December through February or March is raining time. Best months to visit Machu Picchu are June through September.
+victor manuel Yes, that is true! We got lucky to have a nice day before we left.
Bendiciones chicos y muy lindos vídeos.
pero seria completo y genial si ustedes nos harían el favor de colocar subtítulos en Español de todo lo que hablan en ingles en cada uno de sus viajes particularmente en el Bello PERU y cuando saborean la exquisita comida peruana es todo un placer verlos..
para los que los siguen pero aun no hablan ingles....
muchas gracias
Gracias por visitar Perú! Saludos! :)
+Hugo Vilchez Gracias! :)
places like this make you realize that you dont really need all that things like a tv to make a good living. i cant explain that good hope you understand me ×;. Great Video anyway.
+Ozan Z. Thank you very much! :)
Do you absolutely need to book a tour to go to machu picchu?
Did you guys do alright with the altitude? It can take the best out of one.
+Maria del mar We found it a bit of a challenge but luckily we stayed in Cusco for 4 days before attempting this hike. If we had of done it right away we would have been in trouble for sure.
Estuve ahi la quincena de Abril, y hubo un sol radiante. Las fotos te salen increible. Basico, los que subimos por bus (US$15 para peruanos ida y vuelta), tenemos la obligacion de subir a la Puerta del Sol o el Huayna Picchu (pq los q caminaron desde Aguas Calientes hacia M.Picchu ya estan muy cansados para mas subidas). Pero asi y todo falta mas tiempo. Por ende a M.Picchu hay q ir minimo dos veces, asi que pronto regreso de nuevo...!! Amazing !!
+jaime tomasto Espero que hayas disfrutado to viaje, Jaime! Machu Picchu es un lugar maravilloso! Piensas caminar el Camino del Inca para tu proxima visita? :)
+Samuel & Audrey Hi, Hay que tener tiempo para hacer la caminata, pq uno quiere ver todos los atractivos de Cusco. Mi proximo viaje a Cusco sera para ir a Pisac, Chincheros, La Salineras de Maras, subir al Huayna Picchu y visitar Yucay en Urubamba. Cusco tiene una energia que te hace regresar. Es imposible no volver a esa ciudad tan hermosa. Eso si, yo no como cuy !!!! (I dont like it!). El nuevo aeropuerto internacional en Chincheros hara que vengan mas turistas. Excelentes videos. Yo vivo cerca del parque donde estan los gatos en el Parque Kennedy. Slds
It's supposed to be summer there. What's the temperature up in the mountains?
+Southern Crux Ah, yes technically it is but it is also their rainy season. It's warm during the days and cool at nights.
Im peruvian and as far as i know is the opposite in Machu Picchu (while is summer time in Lima, in Machu Picchu is kinda rainy)
Did you guys organize your own trip or take a tour with the tour guide in the video? Which would be better for a trip to Macchu Picchu?
Thanks! We went with Roxner from Action Peru Treks. Highly recommend them.
which month did u guys hike?
We did it in late January but there are honestly better months. We got lucky as it rained hard after we left.
Thanks for visiting my country
and be as natural
of heart and sincere face
I hope to all in my land
POZUZO
Thank you very much!
정말 신비로운 잉카
hermoso es la ciudadela machupicchu soy de lima
Yo solo he ido una ves la próxima iré con mis seres queridos lo prometo hermoso es CUZCO
nice couple ♥
thank you :)
I kinda like Angkor more than Macchu Picchu. There is more than just one structure.
+Tee Touch We've been to both as well. The size of Angkor is most impressive but I really enjoy the hiking along the Inca trail. For me they're both very important places to visit.
+Samuel & Audrey The thing about the Khmer Empire is the fact that many people only focus on the main temples of Angkor and not other important sites they built over all of mainland south east asia. This is to me what makes it stand out against other civilizations. Although the Inca Empire built many structures as well but not on the same scale as the Khmer Empire.
the aliens build machu pichhu, trust me i know. professional eye witness.
+antking1117 LOL, yep!
Great job guys - we definitely had a blast doing this in MP! Just dropped a subscribe, hopefully you can check us out too!
Great video! Love this! I'm going in a few months and this gets me even more excited! What month did you go? Would love if you checked out my channel!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you! We went in late January this year :)
I'm worried. You did not eat anything.
Oh, we got fed well actually. We had a big meal afterwards.
Why do you call this a "travel guide"?? You gave ABSOLUTELY no information about price, transportation, things to do.
Take the train. What's special?
And that 100 feet is very poisonous
