    Beautiful video!!❤ thank you for visiting Beautiful Peru. I love and miss my country 😢 . Growing up I remember my father had a red jeep in Lima...he decided to drive us to machu pichu! Yeah! We drove from Lima...it was my parents, my abuelita, 4 kids in the car! For hours! I loved the memories...playing with the lamas...running in the rain in Machu pichu, trowing rock in the titikaka lake! My father passed away a few years ago ..but his memory will live with me forever. Thank u guys!

    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
      @ChewsToExplore  Рік тому +1

      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!

    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
      @ChewsToExplore  Рік тому +1

      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!

    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.

    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.😊
