Good question! I think that’s going to depend heavily on the individual though. Unfortunately there’s probably no black and white answer for this one. Some people are affected by it, some aren’t. Some experience it mildly while it wrecks others. It just depends. We landed in Cusco on Saturday night and our trek began on Sunday so we literally spent next to no time acclimating at all. We also didn’t have the luxury of being able to vacation for that many days in 2022, which is another reason our turnaround was so quick. I would say at least 2 days, 3 if you are able - if I absolutely had to place a number on it. Definitely not one night though! If you’re concerned about altitude sickness you may want to ask your doctor about diamox or look into other prescriptions that treat mountain sickness as well. And make sure you grab some coca leaves or gummies before your trek while you’re in town.

@ thanks for the quick response, I’m going in May with Alpaca and thought your video was a great summary!!!

@@AmericanBorn86 You’re welcome. We’re jealous! It’s going to be amazing. We’re literally planning a hiking trip as we speak with friends we met on the Inca Trail. Have fun!

In the description. 20-30 minutes.

We recommend staying at the same place before and after your trek for this reason. We stayed at Hotel El Balcon. It was only a short 5-10 minute walk to Plaza de Armas and the Alpaca Expeditions main office. They stored our luggage for free while we were on the trail.

Beautiful in the fall. You’re welcome. Have a great trip!

Passports have been needed to cross into Mexico since 2009. The FFM form has also been in use for decades. Not sure where you crossed or what kind of plates your vehicle had 🤷🏽‍♂️

This video is not an all inclusive guide on things to do in Ft Lauderdale, it is suggestions on a few things you can do in Ft Lauderdale on a layover with limited time. We only had 8 hours. 3/6 of our suggestions were not places to eat.

Photos are allowed. Videos are not.

Definitely worth a visit. I think they even have a super hero “Hall of Justice” area that they’ve added since we went. Dr. Pepper and 7up merged in 1986. That bottling exhibit is part of the museum in the building where the soda bar and Make-A-Soda experiences are held.

Mexican music with Mexican restaurant

@@Castaways_Travel great music with great restaurants

Great point. The train option is probably cheapest for one or two travelers.

😂 maybe take an Uber

Get on the Q70 and skip the metro card Or buy the metro card and get the receipt. You probably won't get stopped and checked on the Q70.

Thanks for watching! Yeah, that might be a good option if you have the extra time. I felt like the 4D/3N was a good pace though. Challenging but not overly difficult nor too easy. I wish we would’ve had more time to explore Aguas Calientes though. I can’t really speak on the experience of the 5D/4N but I’m sure it’s just as amazing. Either way you’re sure to have a great trek with Alpaca Expeditions. Good luck!

Thanks for watching! Im itching to go back myself. We appreciate the sub!

We’re setting up a new 12 foot reaper today. It’s massive! 💀

The air train is only for and does not leave the Newark airport. The NJ transit goes to Penn Station Newark and Penn Station New York. You’ll have to check their website for prices. We are not affiliated with any public transportation companies. www.njtransit.com/

You can try 🤷🏽‍♂️. Film it and report back.

Thanks! We saw it at an Oddities and Curiosities Expo last year and had to have it. It’s definitely a favorite. The name of the booth might be in the video we filmed if you were interested. Spooky Halloween | Halloween Horror Nights 2023 ua-cam.com/video/q7nse4h9QYY/v-deo.html

@@Castaways_Travel rite on thank you 👍🏼👍🏼 We are actually going to an oddities expo in a few weeks 😂

@@bradbucklin2692 Nice! We checked the video and it’s not in there but we did a little research and the booth/company is called Western Evil. I think the dress is actually on sale right now on their website if you wanna snag it. www.westernevil.com/collections/dresses/products/overlook-hotel-carpet-shining-dress?variant=39863968333910

🙏🏽 Thanks for watching! We wanted to put out something that could be consumed quickly but still had good, clear info. We think it turned out pretty good for our first spooky prop project. Can’t wait to set it up for Halloween soon.

No, we left our luggage at our hotel. Which is why we recommend staying at the same place on the front and back end of your trek. Most places will store your baggage for free while you’re on the trail, especially if you are returning as a guest again. On the trek we each had a small day pack filled with immediate essentials: water, snacks, layers, socks, bug spray etc. The porters can carry up to 7kg of weight for each person. Keep in mind if you rent gear from AE like the sleeping pad, sleeping bag, pillow - it only leaves about half or 3.5kg remaining for your own personal gear of your choosing. And you will not have access to it until you reach your campsite at the end of every day. Hope that helps!

You're welcome!

The song is called Cielito by Alcones Negros. It is a track that was taken from Epidemic Sound a royalty free music downloading website.

If you’re talking about for NY Metro public transportation then yes you can still buy a physical metro card and put money on it for swipes on the subway and MTA buses. If you’re talking about the NJ Transit I have no idea, you’ll have to refer to the NJ Transit website for more information.

@@Castaways_Travel ah, thanks for the info

You can pay by card, or OMNY when you get on board or you can swipe your metro card at the bus stop kiosks before getting on to get a receipt for proof of payment.

Or you can just get on for free. If you're buying a metro card, just use that. Or use tap to pay on your phone. Or your physical card. You can use them all on NYC busses and subway. And use the same payment method for all your travels. If you're going to be using it a bunch and want to save money. It's something like 12 rides or something like that in any seven day period is the max. After that, they're all free. It basically replaces the unlimited metro card. To be honest I don't even know if they still sell those things. But if you tap with your phone, then use your physical card, then a metro card.. they're separate and don't all go towards your 12 or maybe 13 rides or whatever. Basically there's a maximum amount of money you will be charged in a 7 day period using omny with the same payment type.

@@albundy06 They still sell metro cards I just used an unlimited one a few weeks ago. Buying an unlimited card is the same price as the OMNY deal. They’re just different methods of payment and come down to personal preference. All these options are explained in the video and description.

@@Castaways_Travel Not quite. You have to pay a dollar to get the metro card. Other than that it's the same. I'd suggest anyone coming into town to not waste the time and the dollar on getting a metro card unless they don't want to use their phones or other tap to pay methods. Which of course there's nothing wrong with not wanting to use tap to pay methods. But if you're ok with using them. Skip metro cards all together.

@@albundy06 That dollar charge for the metro card is in the description. You’re not providing any new information. You’re just echoing what we’ve already said and making a statement about which you prefer.

Great store for stocking stuffers. And I think we’re due for some more hot sauce too!

@@Castaways_Travel definitely! I saw Bucee’s has some sauces like those also.

We’ll probably have to stop at one on our way up. Let us know if you want us to snag y’all anything! 😆

@@Castaways_Travel LOL… that’s ok. We get in to enough trouble when we stop at one. I appreciate that though!

If you get the paddle tail for yourself, have them warm it.

Thank you for those kind words. This was one of our first quick guide videos that came from seeing a need for quicker information on UA-cam with certain subjects. Glad to see we accomplished our goal of trying to make the process easier for viewers. Thanks for watching!

Yes you can purchase tickets on the NJ Transit App. I haven’t used it myself but their website site says you can buy and display tickets via the app. www.njtransit.com/app

Yes!! You get it. Glad it was helpful.

Just sounds nasty

This question is far too complex of a question with way too many factors to answer with a blanket yes or no, but there are many things you can do to be more safe and less at risk. First, I would suggest you follow the Facebook page “On the Road in Mexico.” This page is full of helpful resources with up to date conditions of the roadways and much more from reliable resources and residents of Mexico. In my experience, choosing the safest crossing available to you as well as the best time to cross, driving on the best roadways available and only driving during the daytime are all key elements to traveling as safely as possible in Mexico. I myself have never encountered danger on the roadways in Mexico but many others have had not so lucky experiences. Like I said, follow that page on Facebook and do your research and you should be fine.

Many thanks for your UA-cam and taking the time to share your experience.

Basically you do the same thing as you would if the vehicle was financed. If the rental company allows it, you will need a letter of authorization from them along with all the other documentation you would need for any crossing in a vehicle. www.mexpro.com/blog/drive-rental-car-mexico/

@@Castaways_Travel appreciate it thank you

Yes. That is what is explained in both the video and the description. The Q70 is free. The ticket is for the train.

@@Castaways_Travelso why did you get a bus ticket too? Not needy for the q70

@@joeshonk9715 it’s not a ticket it’s a receipt

@@Castaways_Travel you don’t need a receipt for the q70

@@joeshonk9715 wrong. “The LaGuardia Link Q70 bus service is free, so you don't need to pay to board. However, you'll still need to get a receipt from a kiosk to prove your purchase. MTA inspectors may randomly request your receipt as proof of payment. Riders without a receipt will be subject to a $100 fare evasion summons.” This was literally explained in the video. I even inserted a clip of the MTA Police.

I don’t know about the best. But it’s probably the closest to La Guardia. You can refer to this map for more info: new.mta.info/map/5256

Great little museum. Just needs better hours!

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
