Visiting South America's Troubled Nation 🇵🇪 

Back with a bang👑

Bald what did you use to learn Spanish? I would like to use the same program

Bald and Ben, ye guys make a great pair, good luck on this journey 👍

At last!!!

Thanks for uploading today you made my day 🙏

Yeah, he enjoyed as we can see 😅

@@IThelpTeam Good thing is that burger ain’t even authentic Peruvian food iykyk 🤷🏽‍♀️

Please help me ….. what is the song playing at 6:29

Uk needs to take a page out of ur fight back

Yo tambien Viva so calbo

Theres only been 1 or 2 times Bald has vocally expressed he is having a bad time and was but I cant remeber which videos and if you add getting apprehended by the Russian government thats 3 lolol that is gonna be a bad time no matter what.

It's so true! Ben always seems like he is having the worst time!

Yeah ben is a little baby

@@Jamesjmoore1818 I think the other guy that went with Harold and Bald was more insufferable.

Ben should stay home

bet you lived a great live.

Prolly knowingly that poor man voted for what would become the VP of Castillo, the country's deposed President, when he voted for him in 2021. Now suddenly that poor fella doesnt want her, the VP, when she was legally his successor if anything happened to him politically.

The man is lying. The current President was literally the previous one's Vice President and is now on power after legal succession following the previous one's attempt to quite literally do a coup. "Protesters" are not even protesting they are quite literally just raiding and sacking businesses and attacking anyone who is not supporting them, to the point of setting buildings on fire and killing policemen. Fuck that guy.

Yes, but also don't take that one guy's word for it, it's worth reading more and getting the full picture of the situation. For example: the former President, Castillo, is in prison for trying to dissolve Congress lol. Peru has long struggled with non-corrupt leadership in their fledgling democracy.

They are in favor of a dictator. Bald here is pushing a certain message, stark when the truth is out there. Castillo self-coup, he gambled a dictatorship and lost. And this people are being fooled into defending him.

We will be victorious in the end, my brotha

It's the only way to fly.

Its like watching “an idiot abroad” with karl pilkington

Simon Wilson & Backpacker Ben won't

@@numbersix8919 And then from off camera, you just hear, "Eh, 'scuse me, mate... You haven't seen a McDonald's around here, 'ave ya?"

I love Bald but in this video i felt like sometimes he was like putting himself above some of the locals. Anyway he's a great traveller

And he throws up too ... which shows he doesn't have nerves of steel, unlike Bald.😂

He's properly boring though 😂 bring back Johnny!

I'd take him over simon.@@rikbry2392

​@rikbry2392 I like his humour. Very cynical, very British

I find him annoying to be honest. Not a very interesting person for someone so well travelled. Utter chav vibes.

it sounded good, from a second language perspective

The fact that you believe that is the problem.......

@xcalibertrekker6693 how could believing this be considered a problem whether it's true or not?

@@xcalibertrekker6693 stoopid comment

If you learn more than a couple of languages, Spanish is just something you do. I'm not particularly interested in it and I'm sure I've devoted over 100 hours to studying it over the years.

Spanish is somehow different between countries. Enough spanish to get by is fine, people here are friendly and help tourists out. Not like NY or other cities full of shit people.

it improved so much since the cuba episodes

really improved since he was in preschool.

He's been getting private lessons!

the UK gov train their agents well 😅

I wouldn't call him a master at communication unless you're an incel with no communication skills.He's just very eccentric and comes off as confident but I can guarantee you his conversations are awkward to anybody he talks to.

Huh? Influencers definitely go to Peru.. it's one of the most popular countries to visit as a tourist in South America.

@@userseveneleven I know Bald has mentioned it in older videos about his personality. He want's to get genuine knowledge about places from the people that live there, so he tries to talk to everyone. He has said that most people are as social as you would think. Specifically when a bald white guy is speaking their language.

@@yespls4184 i doubt they would wanna go to places like these

​@@pizzerialavella8599It is probably the most touristic place in South America. Do you even know Machu Pichu?

DO you know Bens channel?

God speed and have a safe trip. Hope it’s the first of many

Hope you will not disappear 😂

Good luck, beautiful part of the world

The souther you go after bosnia the higher the risk

just dont run around with a camera and speak english so people dont think youre a idiot tourist and youll be fine

nothing but a beautiful comment here

In reality, the only corrupt politician is former president Castillo who is actually imprisoned for the crimes he committed.

Exactly just as the resistance who truly cares about its people often is hardly ever recognized had their voice heard outside of the propagandized version that we receive in western media.

I remember that video in particular so crazy how it stuck w us

I think Ben got Montezumas revenge?

That is why I have been a subscriber for years. I hate travel shows with unlimited budgets and luxury accommodations separated from the locals. I want to know what it is like to actually be there.

exactly, he's the real deal..And actually even learning the language of the country he's visiting, and he's funny, but caring, everything together..he's not a poser, like all those "travel" youtubers, who are ignorant and just want clout while sleeping in a 5 star hotel..

There is loads of RU-vidrs that travel off the beaten track.

@@amd.amdamd lol and hes bald too :D

Specially he is bankrupt

Maybe get out more

Reakon Ben moaned to much

@@marleymatthews7633 what

@@blagoevski336 the guy he is with is constantly moaning its off putting

@@marleymatthews7633 meh, not a problem

That’s called good editing. Not that the content is boring or anything, I’m just saying a massive part of his videos is the editing style

Well said! 🦜from Australia

Yup. And massive credit to him for dealing with that low airpressure and high altitude. It's not easy, jumping from a mere 90 ft (30 meters) or so from England, all the way to +10.000 ft (3300m) in Cusco. Not to forget, when making his trip to Andahuaylas ... crossing even the 13.300! ft (4.000 meters) barrier. Which is absolutely insane for a "bus" drive.

Hell yes it is!!!

This was so funny to watch as someone who speaks spanish !!!

Relax

@dd Every single Soviet video of his

@@Vasily_dont_be_silly true the soviet videos are pure gold :D

Señor gopnik has escaped

I married a Peruvian. She is the best- funny, classy, supportive, she likes big dumb gringos- (lucky me) and she pushed out a cool little kid 2 years ago. I'm way happier than I was with my American wife that's for sure.

Naa. Not really. Mexico the best Welcoming people. Best food, best everything 😏

If you are an American, you will be shocked at how people are so super friendly in every country outside the US. Here in the US, we are brainwashed by the talmud-vision to believe that it's so wonderful here and that outside our borders is evil and hell. How opposite that belief truly is. Want to know why? Because the government doesn't want to American citizen to know how great the world is, because if word got out, people would leave.

latin americans in general seem to be nice people, met a few of them who emigrated to spain and I can vouch for them

​@@joes.8500im Sure she Likes Money too

Yea I agree. That would be great. I keep going to google map to see where he is.

Cusco Peru big city

Use Vagrant Holiday's method. It was pretty cool.

I know, I'm always on maps traveling along lol

No map does kind of include a form of mystery, it feels more like he is traveling in unknown lands

He's just for the money doesn't even enjoy it much 🤑

I don't laugh I just roll my eyes and say a silent "oh no, not again" 😀

Ben and Benjamin

😂😂😂 true seems like it’s an absolute torture.

@@markmark2080 I feel like he's an actual british person going on adventures. Like he'd rather be at home with a good cup of tea or at the pub with mates but no. Instead he's on the side of the road in Peru, vomiting his heart out for our benefit.

49 min 😊

you and me my friend

@Muscleman8562 youtube isnt for everyone, keep your fantasies to yourself

Full adventure!

@@CharlieChaplinVideos and 35 seconds ☺️

Me too!

I pictured him sitting in a gulag somewhere in Southeast Asia. Nice to see Peru.

The guy taught himself Hindi and Russian... Spanish is child's play by comparison.🤠

I plan to go to Peru one day but I am currently vlogging from Mexico.

@@DougPVlogs dude you have touched human bones since you made this comment!

@@StukkoChonies Yes I have, my first time ever doing something like that. Thanks for watching.

still, this doesnt remove the fact that the state has over 60 dead people on them and the mistreatment of locals should stop

So you know the song playing at 6:28?

Also take as much toilet paper as possible from the hotel you’re staying at , if you’re going out

Killings and terrorizing people are never the answer, and I condemn it. And we must not forget the reasons those things happened. The centralization of Peru to a single city, Lima, has been so pivotal to things like lack of development in the rest of the country since colonial times. To the extreme that poverty, discrimination, colorism, and corruption affected negatively those who lived in rural areas and were ethnically mostly indigenous. This issue has never been fully addressed, but what we're seeing now is the rise of fascist ideals to counter the plight of the protesters. Even people I know in Lima who are rational and regular people are already treating the "others" as criminals from the outset. It's scary how quickly the government can use those tactics, the ones that create a boogeyman, to shape how people perceive ideas. Unfortunately I don't think the current government has any plans to address the issues of the past and present, but are simply putting on the bandaid of "tough on crime" and the Lima people immediately bought into it. Your experiences, what you remember is also being used to bait people into fear. Frankly, who wouldn't be afraid of random bombings, raids, kidnappings, etc. However the deeper issue is being swept under the rug. Lastly, I don't mean to paint the people of Lima as a monolith because there are people with a wider scope of the problem and hopefully they will be able to get that message across before the country either turns into a fascist state or a place where terror reigns.

@@artofwar420 It seems like the entire world is going that way. Even once free countries.

That's some story mate! What were you doing down there in the 80s?

Dozens of mechanisms are used to manipulate the minds of people ( young people / living in ‘rural’ and ‘town and fringe’ areas people) in order to prevent them from differentiating between good and evil... It is the distortion of values and principles in order to attack truth, love, family, homeland and the most intimate beliefs... The SÂO PAULO FORUM's Warfare. It is a new form of warfare. Our country are under attack !!!

@@artofwar420 exactly. The Shining Path didn't emerge in a vacuum. It was a response--an irrational and overly violent response--to an irrational and violent situation. The people had the colonial and fascist boot on their necks for all of their historical memory. And they responded. And we can't ignore the role of the US empire in all of this.

I went to Peru once and a native bird SHlT in my eye

​@@Montoya2005 how niceeee 😂😂😂that's a lot of luck been sent to you

@@Montoya2005 that's better than what I got in France. Got stung in my eye by a wasp

​@@nikitakrit4083 fucking oof, that sounds like hell

@@Montoya2005 what did that cost you?

Please ask her if she knows who is the artist for the song at 6:29 ? I have to get that song!

@@nastyHarry Hello! I’m Peruvian, sadly I don’t know the name of the song but the music genre is called “Huaino”

@@elmero6977 thanks friend

😄😄 As long as the way to resolve that matter is en dinero. I don't want to imagine the other ways.

*la materia (Just because I'm a language purist) 😂

I liked the honesty and genuine statement he was making.
