Such an amazing place to visit. Photos does this place no justice. If you never been, try to go.

@ChewsToExplore 10 месяцев назад

Truly blew us away the entire time. The views were spectacular and an amazing experience

@Busybeeee 7 месяцев назад

I appreciate this guide to saving money however, it does seem complicated. I calculated how much it would cost me to do this independently versus a tour and I’ll be paying $100 more for an organized tour which will takeoff a lot of stress and do all this for me. They also pick me up at my hotel from Cusco. In this case it’s worth saving it a little extra for a little less hassle. Nevertheless, great video.😊

@ChewsToExplore 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your perspective! It's always important to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. I'm glad you found the video helpful.

@nmmk9134 Месяц назад

Im Going please share the link to the travel guide.

@Busybeeee Месяц назад

@@nmmk9134 I did it with a company called Machu Pichu Terra. I took the full day package and paid $270. It was incredible. It Included pick up at hotel , train to Aguas Caliente and bus to Machu Pichu. Also included a guide and photographers that were with you all day. Google them and read my review! Have fun. ( PS I did go in February which is low season and it rained so it may cost more in the summer which is high season)

@ATLIEN333 6 месяцев назад

I'm a big ancient culture enthusiast and have always wanted to go to Machu Picchu. I just wonder how my body would feel at that height and my age? Would being that high up give me anxiety/acrophobia? I would like to know how did it affect you while there even though you're much younger? The altitude part. Great content always

@ChewsToExplore 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoy the content. As for the altitude at Machu Picchu, it can definitely affect people differently, regardless of age. It takes some days to get acclimated to it but there were a lot of older people there as well. Stay safe and keep exploring!

@ATLIEN333 6 месяцев назад

@@ChewsToExplore Thanks for your reply and information. It's definitely "high" on my bucket list .Yeah I know corny attempt 😁..

What a great idea to keep luggage in Lima

@ChewsToExplore 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for tuning in, yea definitely cheaper to get a cheap accommodation than to pay those baggage fees.

The natural waters coming down from Machupichu are super clean 😊

No Vaccines required, just bring your passport as an American!

@lucasrioux9320 14 дней назад

Hey amazing video. Im having trouble finding flights for as cheap as the ones you got. Did you buy them while you were in Peru or in advance while you planned the trip

@rod6547 9 месяцев назад

When you booked your Machu Picchu ticket online did it give you an option for Circuit 2? Thank you for this useful info!!

@ChewsToExplore 9 месяцев назад

Yes, we actually did not chose a circuit. We chose the option that was like 1,2,3,4 and just went on circuit 2. It all depends on how early you are planning to book. Machu Picchu tickets sell out months in advance

@tulipsunny6334 10 месяцев назад

🌺The Temple and sacred rock were amazing …did you drink the non-aging water😉

@ChewsToExplore 10 месяцев назад

Haha liv did not let me do it

@theroadletstravel 10 месяцев назад

Machu Picchu is so magical! You two gave such helpful info on how to get there. Its definitely a pricey long ride there but so worth it! Def agree staying in the pueblo is necessary

@ChewsToExplore 10 месяцев назад

Thanks again for supporting us. I couldn't believe how affordable the country is yet how much the ride to machu Picchu was

@Busybeeee 6 месяцев назад

Great video and very informative but can you not take the Inca rail directly from Cusco? Thank you

@ChewsToExplore 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for the support of the channel. No you need to take the bus first to get to Ollantaytambo

@denme5 7 месяцев назад

This is great information. What if I don’t want to hike up. I have a bad ankle that I’m rehabbing so it can get a little tricky for me on steps and uneven payment. Will they allow no guide and only visit the 1st level? Of course I want the great IG photo then I want to exit.

@ChewsToExplore 7 месяцев назад

I totally understand your concern about hiking up with a bad ankle. You may be able to visit the first level without a guide, but it's best to check with the park authorities for the most accurate information. Different circuits have different levels of hiking available. Take care of yourself and get that IG-worthy photo!

@sothy2000 21 день назад

Great video I’m planning a trip to Cusco Peru Did you purchase Manchu Picchu entrance tickets online? If so, can you provide link? Thank you

@nicolehart3316 4 месяца назад

My flight from lima to Cusco was $120 CAD for just personal item and I booked 1.5 months out.

@ChewsToExplore 4 месяца назад

Sorry our flight was a lot cheaper than that. It depnds on the time of the year and airline as well.

What bus and how did you guys took the bus to Ollantaytambo from Cusco? Was the bus station walking distance from the historic center? Did you have to walk a far to the train station after being dropped off by the bus?

@nelek.4225 19 дней назад

Hi, I bought your Peru guide as we will head there in September. Still, I would like to know what time of the day you went to Machu Picchu . Very early like 6 or 7am of Little later?

@friendlydog82 6 месяцев назад

3:31 is it possible for you to add a compass direction at the corner map you showed?? Because Machu Picchu is actually at Northwest of Cusco!! And for most People live at Northern Hemisphere, just read that map might think Machu Picchu is at Southeast of Cusco.

@ChewsToExplore 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your suggestion! I appreciate your feedback and I'll definitely take it into consideration for future videos. It's important to provide accurate information, so I'll make sure to add a compass direction to the corner map in my next travel guide.

@tulipsunny6334 10 месяцев назад

🌺WHAT ..no walking sticks😳

@ChewsToExplore 10 месяцев назад

Nope no walking sticks because people have destroyed the ruins
