Переглядів 2 тис.Місяць тому
Scary! We hiked the Stairs of Death at Huayna Picchu right above Machu Picchu in Peru. But there seems to be some confusion on which steps they actually are. They all seemed like stairs of death to us. Come with us on this beautiful and breathtaking journey! We provide some tips and facts as well. #huaynapicchu #machupicchu Stairs of Death photo by Jerry L: www.flickr.com/photos/37559551@N02/36...

The Sopa Resort at Naivasha, Kenya is one of the prettiest places we've stayed, but is it worth the trip? The resort is filled with wild animals and the black-and-white Colobus monkeys alone is worth watching this video. I'll do a quick review of Sopa Lodge and talk about Lake Naivasha as well.

The landscapes are truly breathtaking, and the sight of so many llamas and alpacas is fantastic. The museum's display on transforming wool into high-quality clothing is fascinating, especially with dyes from vegetables and insects. The beer-making process using saliva is quite unique. Your video wonderfully highlights Peru's rich heritage and natural beauty. Have a great weekend!
I dont think I've ever heard a llama's sound before! You're so brave to get close to them. Thank yo ufor sharing your adventures!
We hadn't heard one before either. So funny and interesting. We loved all the llamas and alpacas. Thanks for watching!
I love snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. On the beach side of the reef it is a great place for novice and starter snorkelers (roughly 4 ft depth). On the other other side of the reef I would recommend only those who are least SOLID INTERMEDIATE and a strong swimmer as well. This is because suddenly beyond the reef the depth increases dramatically (just ten yards beyond the reef depth appears to be about 20 ft) and there is a set of currents out in the larger area which can carry you toward the mouth of the bay and thus the open ocean, and the "Maui Express"(swimmers and others have been lost in this strong inter island current0, so you need to be solid and have good judgement once you take on the larger cone area. You have to remember it does take WORK to get back to shore. [this whole bay is a volcanic cinder cone, now filled with ocean, wildlife and corral]. There is a thing called "Toilet Bowl" just out beyond the northern side of this bay, it's also potentially dangerous, this is a lava tube type formation, and thus better for those with good sense and strong swimming skill. The locals seem all to know this stuff. All that being said, this is a fantastic snorkeling area, with many opportunities to see ample sea life and to explore reef area, learn to snorkel, and plenty of area to explore once you get good.
Thanks for the great comment and info! I totally agree that you should be a strong or very decent swimmer if you go to the other side of the reef. We saw the signs and were quite cautious. We did get into a bit of current. I would definitely not go out there without a decent set of snorkeling/scuba fins. You can rent gear there, but we brought all of our own since we also scuba dive a lot. Our fins are quite large, but that may not even have been enough for some of the areas you are describing like the Toilet Bowl. Really good info. I hope everyone reads your comments before going there, but yes it is very safe on the beach side of the reef. It truly is a magical place. I would like to go ever further out next time, but will definitely do more research first. Thanks again!

Thanks for watching!
Your pronunciation of Huayna Picchu is terrible and actually is derogatory please be aware of that.
Oh really? I'm so sorry. I try to pronounce everything as best I can. Certainly did not mean to offend anyone.
Wow indeed really incredible tour, so much to see, taste and do in this part of Peru
This was just one day out of two weeks. Every day was packed with adventure. So much to see and do around the Cusco area of Peru. Thanks for watching!
Great tour
Thanks! Such an interesting place.
Such a great adventure. Nice sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hello dear can u tell me please wich kind of airport in this place??? You flight to Nairobi and take taxi to this place???? Or I can get transfer from hotel??? And safary include in hotel or u must pay more???? Thank u 🩵🩵🩵
You would probably fly into Nairobi then take some kind of transportation (taxi, shuttle, safari service) to Naivasha. The price of the hotel would include seeing the animals there, but it isn't what I would consider an actual safari. More just a hotel with animals around it. You can go over to Lake Naivasha and explore the lake and island which would be more like a safari. That costs extra, but is not very expensive. Naivasha Sopa Resort is very nice and you can get quite close to the animals. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@ChrisChrisman thank you so much dear I so much gratitude to you. 🙏🙏🙏🩵🩵🩵💚💚💚
Wow. Those stairs are really sketchy and scarry but totally worth it. The name stairs of death is fitting. Amazing views of the Putucusi mountains, Urubamba River and ancient Incan city. Also love that cave. You share the most amazing places. Great information and videography.
Those stairs were really sketchy! I'm glad there was a different way down...through the cave and that was it's own adventure. Thanks Gasper!
Best
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely beautiful, such a lovely place for hiking
Actually it can be very dangerous.
There really are some awesome views from that mountain.
Completely agree that it can be very dangerous. Definitely take your time and be careful if you do this hike.
Very very brave of you! I would probably get a few steps up and feel the need to come back down. Thank you for taking us along with you--especially those of us who might not be brave enough to climb this! What a beautiful view. Stay safe! Liked and subscribed to your channel!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the channel. It definitely tested our bravery...or at least mine. I just tried not to look down on that staircase :) Thanks for coming along on the journey!
Oh boy lol i think I'm going to enjoy this. Saved to my watch later list. I'll be back
Enjoy!
@@ChrisChrisman4:10/4:57/5:14/5:50 lol omg on the way down I'd have to crawl backwards lol and 8:04 omg Wonderful experience though. I really enjoyed watching, from here lol. Kudos and congrats on the exciting lives you guys are living. Keep it going!
Glad you enjoyed watching, from there 😂😂. It really was scary. Made it feel like a good achievement. Thanks so much for your support and positive comments! Hopefully we can keep this up for a long time :)
@@ChrisChrisman no problem, I enjoyed the experience. Subbed yesterday
Oh wow indeed these stairs are truly insane, almost 90 degrees with abnormal shapes , so many efforts to climb up and to climb down is even more harder, good for adrenaline testing
Yep, you think you have made it to the top, then get to those stairs. They really were scary! There are some grassy areas by the stairs, but they aren't big enough to catch you if you really started falling. Good adventure, though!
He kept it real lol. My coworker is experiencing this next week with his wife. I've been binge watching these videos and ones about half dome. I've gone down a rabbit hole. If I did this I wouldn't do it with a loved one. I'd be too worried about them
We do a lot of crazy stuff, but that really did test my resolve. That was no act :) About half way up you see just how far you have left and have to make a choice. But those kinds of hikes always leave the best memories. So glad we did it. I'd possibly do it again. I just put out a Stairs of Death video of a hike near Machu Picchu that had some scary moments (ua-cam.com/video/o_uiKTyDZ2o/v-deo.html), but it was still not as scary as this hike. Take care and thanks for visiting!
@@ChrisChrisman lol I'll check it out. I enjoy genuine reactions. Thanks
I love Blue Grotto. Fun place to dive.
We really enjoyed it. Most of our diving is in the ocean on organized tours so it was good practice to do the dive by ourselves. The facilities were nice, too. Would love to go back. Thanks for visiting.
I was camping at Jekyll Island 3 weeks ago, already made next years reservation. Says it all. Good food and lots of beach access.
That does say it all! We really need to get back there. Yeah it is very easy to get to the beach and lots of places to access it. We were there at the height of Covid so I bet there are many more places to eat and visit now. Thank you for your comment!
I like your tips...neck scarf,towel for camera equipment, 4x4 safari vehicle not van
Thanks for watching this series! I'll try to get all your questions answered.
Any fishing excursions?
We did not fish, but it does look like you can fish there although you may not be able to keep the fish. There also looks like fly fishing trips available. Lake Naivasha is a neat place!
What time of year did you visit...June? What was price for the lodge?
We visited almost exactly a year ago. Middle of August. Great time to go. 1 night at Naivasha Sopa Lodge - $180 USD per person per night = $360 USD. Sopa Lodge was a nice place.
I have never been to Machu Picchu before. Such an amazing place. Beautiful historic ruins and spectacular landscapes. Very good information. Interesting information about the nonofficial stamp in the passport. Thanks for taking us along with you.
Machu Picchu and Peru were so interesting. Ruins and landscapes were awesome! Not sure how well enforced that nonofficial stamps are in a passport, but would hate to find out the hard way. Thanks for watching!
So beautiful place.
Peru was so interesting! Can't wait to go back.
such a great experience
It was an epic adventure!
wonderful trialing adventure my friend so cool to watch love it
Thanks for your support!
why the skam?
huh?
Do a full video
I do plan on doing a short series of Amazon videos. In the meantime, I do show more of the frogs and some other interesting stuff in the second half of this video: ua-cam.com/video/-87RgfsyRNk/v-deo.html Thanks for watching!
@@ChrisChrismanoh yeah I like poison dart frogs they're one of my favorite animals
I’m snorkeling there in a few weeks and I’m really excited!
Hope you have a great time! Wish we were there.
Beautiful scenery. Such a breathtaking adventure
It was truly a once in a lifetime trip! Although, maybe we can get back someday for twice in a lifetime :)
Video dokumenter petualangan yang sangat keren!,, Saya sangat menikmati video perjalanan Anda., penuh tantangan dan adventure., sukses untuk Channel Anda., 👍🫡
Terima kasih banyak!
Headed to see the Rolling Stones, I will leave a update after the show
Great logo! Yeah, let us know how it is. I'm curious how much has changed.
This helped me a lot Tysm 3:30
I always hope these videos ultimately help people out. Thanks for your feedback!
I’m going there at the end of the month.😃
You will have a blast!
Great video. A friend of mine visited Machu Picchu a little while ago and loved it. He did mention about getting used to the elevations. Thanks for sharing all the great information and tips. Love all the beautiful views and perfect narration. Enjoy the weekend.
Thanks so much Gasper! The video is a little wobbly in places, but I tried to make it work :)
Beautiful resort, and lovely snorkeling
Diani Beach was super nice. Can't wait to go back.
Oh MY! from the water to la mezcaleria....quite a hangover!
I love these Baja CA videos, but nobody watches them :) Thanks for watching and also leaving a comment. Water->Mezcal->Rinse-And-Repeat

Thanks for watching.
So where did they get 21,500,000 bricks in 1823 when the population of Florida was said to be about 1 million people? Let alone set them and do it so well the structure still stands 200 years later? It is almost like the history of this star fort and many others is really just fake. Fyi, the Empire state building consists of less than 10 million bricks.
Machu Picchu, Pyramids and many other structures have withstood centuries and a lot of them didn't even use mortar. This fort along with many others are very impressive, but not so impressive they seem impossible to build. With enough labor you could make as many bricks as you want I imagine. Also, the walls were many feet thick. I don't think the Empire State building would survive multiple blasts. I would say seeing is believing in this case. But, I appreciate your view point and it is good to challenge the status quo. History is written by the winners lol. Thanks for your comment.
What a fantastic place, wishing to be there soon
It is a great place. Thanks for your support!
Lovely trip
Thanks for watching!
Wow truly fantastic trip, this is like a must visit once in a lifetime at least, thanks for this itinerary, your guidance is very helpful, very inspiring
It really is a must visit! Such interesting and unique places. Climbing to Machu Picchu then heading to the Amazon was two completely different experiences.
Yeah, Ive lived here for 23 years now, I still haven't hiked up Koko Head yet, lol
Wow, what a great place to live! So many good hikes and other activities there. You should definitely do this hike if you get a chance.
@@ChrisChrisman I will pack my amateur radio up there one of these days and try it out.
@@WH6FQE sounds fun!
Glad you were suggested. I’m pondering traveling to see The Stones so came to YT and boom here you are. After watching seems easier to travel to LA and not have to worry about rental car, line to park, bus lines and having a defined seat seems better. Maybe someone smaller playing there and less crowd
I'm glad when a video actually helps somebody out. It's a great venue, but yeah, that sounds like a lot of work if you are coming all the way from LA. Hope you get to see The Stones! I bet that will be a great concert even at their young age :) I need to see them as well.
Least Turns lay their eggs and hatch their babies there, thus the bird crossing and 15 mph signs. The baby chicks cross the road and get run over by vehicles. Actually, the whole island is a bird sanctuary and protected.
The bird crossing sign seemed a bit funny at first, but we definitely respected it and watched out for any hatchlings. If you watch part two of the video, we go birding and see a bunch of great species. So many different birds on that island. Thanks for your comment!
Great video.. it brings back great memories.. i was there in 1982 and 1984 as an older child (10-12yo) and i still remember the experience.. it was amazing.. i'm glad it's still there.
Thanks! Interesting...that might make us the same age :) I hope it stays in good condition there. I can't wait to go back. Thanks for the comment!
I have never seen a hippo in the wild. Such great video captures. Lake Naivasha looks like a very nice place to explore. Great views of the wildlife and surrounding landscapes. Interesting that some of the birds can dive 20 meters deep by eating rocks and then vomit them out later on. Thanks for sharing.
Boating with hippos is not something you get to do everyday lol. It was a great little experience. So many different kinds of birds there. Looked up later to see if those birds actually eat rocks and it appears they do. Sounded too strange to be true. Thanks for visiting! I've been working on a Machu Picchu video and haven't had a chance to actually watch UA-cam in a while.
I just did this hike last week. Big props to all of the volunteers that put in the hard work to completely refurbish the railroad ties. Everything looks new. I will say that this is probably the hardest hike in all of Oahu.
Oh, that's great to hear! It was such an amazing hike I'm glad it is being well taken care of. Thank you volunteers! I didn't realize we did one of the hardest hikes in all of Oahu. We were definitely sweating towards the top. I'd say it's still a fairly accessible trail as long as you are fairly nimble on your feet. I want to do it again and see the new railroad ties. Probably much safer now. Thanks for your great comment.
Found your video helpful. Did u pay separately for the room/meals and vehicle/game drives? So how total per night for all of it pp or for both of u? Suggestion on how much to tip? Thx
We went during high season when prices tend to be higher. The safari itself (driver and game drives w/o tip) was $160 USD per person per day. The upgraded vehicle (see our best vehicle video) was another $1080 USD over the course of our 9-day trip, but you could get by cheaper. Rooms in Amboseli and Naivasha were around $180 per person per night including all food, but not alcoholic drinks. The room in the Masa Mara was $330 per person per night and also included food, but not drinks. As for tips, that's up to your discretion, but we left generous tips at the hotels and for our safari driver. For the driver, I think $20 to $40 total a day is recommended. I will say we left more. Our driver was fantastic and the great people in Kenya do not make a lot of money so we tipped as much as we could afford, but they never make you feel obligated. I outline a lot of the costs in the videos if you want to see what the rooms look like for that price. Let me know if you have more questions.
Would you mind sharing what you paid spirit of kenya? I watched videos 1nt in navaisha, 3nts amboseli, unsure how many nts maasai mara..4? I don't think you completed safari every day. Did you ask more than one tour company to quote?
Here are exact costs: 9 safari days - $160 USD per person per day = $2,880 USD. 2 nights at Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge - $190 USD per person per night = $760 USD 1 night at Naivasha Sopa Lodge - $180 USD per person per night = $360 USD 5 nights at Mara Eden - $330 USD per person per night = $3,300 USD Vehicle - Upgrade to a Land Cruiser = $1,080 USD We contacted numerous companies and Spirit of Kenya seemed to be the best value. A lot of other places were way more expensive. We are not affiliated with Spirit of Kenya at all, but I do highly recommend going with them. Hope this helps!
@ChrisChrisman thank you for detail. $8380 is an approximate total for 8 nights 🌙 two people. I reached out to Spirit of Kenya and received very quick response. I think prices increased a bit for 2025. We want 7nts safari and 3 nts DIANA beach mid August. Your videos were helpful. Great photos! I'm also checking out another firm based in the Netherlands. Hope to make decision soon. Happy travels! Monday I'm off to Bali then Thailand and a cruise on AMA DOWN the mekong.30 days.
Wow, you are quite the traveler! You would love a safari. It was one of our most favorite trips. We stayed at Waterlovers in Diani Beach and it was great. We have a video on that if you have not watched it yet and should have some more Diani Beach videos out at some point. Thailand is amazing!! Enjoy Bali...we have never been, but looks wonderful. Have fun and safe travels and let me know if you have any more questions. Take care!
