    Awesome video guys!! 🙌 Humantay is such a breathtaking place to visit, literally. 😄 We hiked it a few years back and still haven’t forgotten how crisp the air feels there.

    Hi, great travel vlog! I will be visiting Cusco next month. Did you have to get permission to use your drone at this lake and the rainbow mountain? I own a small drone and don’t need to register but was wondering how to get permission because online sources only mentions to get permission from local communities/make donation but doesn’t specify how. I am planning to do this lake and rainbow mountain independently, not with a tour group, do we need a guide to hike both rainbow mountain and to this lake? Thanks a lot!

    • @catandmarcos

      I did not need any special permission from anyone. I was just aware of my surroundings and being respectful of other travelers and trying to fly far from people.

    Hi guys,
    I’m travelling to Peru and thinking about choosing either way the lake or rainbow mountains. Which one would you recommend also have a drone so would like to take some pics and make some videos

    • @catandmarcos
      @catandmarcos  2 місяці тому

      man that is tough! We would probably say the rainbow mountain if we had to choose but you can't go wrong with either one!

    Nice video. Do they let you go at your pace and is the horse availble all the way up for one price rate? thanks

      we went at our own pace yes, we did not have a guide for this, only a driver. I'm not entirely sure about the horses though

    Did you have a problem flying your drone there? Going in a month and would like to use mine too but not sure what regulations are required or even what locations you are allowed to fly at. I know Machu Picchu is out for sure!

    • @catandmarcos
      @catandmarcos  Рік тому +1

      i didnt have any problems. I went far away from any people though to make sure of it also. I think its best to just use your situational awareness, if it seems fine, do it. If not, then maybe don't

    • @catandmarcos
      @catandmarcos  Рік тому +1

      yeah honestly I heard the same thing but didn't have anyone asking about my drones at the airports or when I flew it. I am using the Mavic Air 2s so maybe they had problems with their bigger drones like Mavic Pro's or what not @@nathanstepp86

    Hi :) I'm planning to go there in late April. It is just amazijg!!

    Would you provide more info on where you hired your driver to take you there and back and that price, was it just for you two? We’re a family of 3 adults and 2 young kids so trying to gage how much a hire car would be. Thanks!

      Honestly I think I’d stay away from it. I believe it said if you’re pregnant not to do it. I don’t remember 100% but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Make sure to check the guidelines they have thwre

    Those igloo looking things are for people who do a multi day trek. Usually to salcantay, i think. Side note, please don't encourage people to jump in the lake, its not permitted whatsoever.
