So much beautiful scenery and varied experiences. (Not sure about the Guinea pig feast though….) And Mathilde, “slaloming”…if I were marking an assignment, you’d get 25 bonus points for that! 🤓.

      Yes you are right, it is not safe being a representative those days in Peru… poor guys just ahead of the elections too! We got to the coast exactly when a mayor got killed too in the same region. We hope it will get better. For travellers when we were there it was still fine but you do see more police and militaries on the roads

    Nick is such a good soul. Saving that turtle from getting squashed was so thoughtful. It may go an to have hundreds more because of that . Ecuador is so much more than i ever anticipated. Of course it is you the travellers who make it more exciting ❣. I can see through your eyes how beautiful it is. So much to learn , lovely people you have come across. I watch every week and at the moment im going through the early ones i missed. You have both gained so much confidence and found so much more happiness. Keep going with the quality.

    Thanks for showing some of the many, many attractions of Ecuador, a country I know quite well (I export Ecuadorian textiles back to the U.S.). I struggle with altitude sickness every time I visit Cajas, Just the thought of running there makes me gasp for breath. As you've seen, the wildlife in Ecuador is amazing. Last time I was in Puerto Lopez it was not the correct season so no whales on our cruise out to Silver Island but we did see a whale shark. The skipper said he'd never seen one before. I spent years in the U.S. Coast Guard and I'd never seen one either. Are you still searching for a condor?

    I'd been following your adventures for quite a while but was shocked that you'd show guinea pigs roasting in this video, which is an image I can't unsee.
    I have owned rabbits & a guinea pig, & my guinea pig was intelligent, affectionate, trusting & curious. He would run to us & around us when we got home & purr when he got his favourite fruits. He was basically like a small cat. Our rabbits too each had their own personality. I hope that you'd be more thoughtful for animals lovers in subsequent videos & especially not show dogs roasting in China, for example.

    My partner and I love watching your channel and never miss it but found this one a bit of a challenge. On the one hand you saved a turtle, watched whales and admired a cute puppy but on the other you were eager to eat guinea pigs, just seemed like some serious conflicts of morality and cognitive dissonance. Why would you enjoy seeing one, actively save another and then consume another? I think you're both wonderful people and we really enjoy your videos and your enthusiasm for travel but I do think this is a bit of a blind spot and worth some introspection. Not trying to be negative so hoping you can take this comment in the spirit it's meant.

      Hello we see you point of view. But from another perspective in Ecuador eating a Guinea pig is like eating a chicken in the USA or Europe. And honestly I am as convinced of the value of a chicken as of a Guinea pig as of a turtle. As of eagerness I don’t know we tried upon an invitation, and shared a small piece in 4. But again we understand your point of view. Thanks for sharing it

      ​@@NextMeridianExpeditionthanks for taking the time to respond. I know you guys are both considerate people and do love animals a lot and so it was just something that stood out a little. To be clear I don't think one should eat chickens either and I too believe guinea pigs, turtles and chickens all deserve our consideration I just found it odd that you saved the turtle but paid for the death of another species.
      In any case, thanks for responding and for your videos, they are (mostly) really engaging and enjoyable and so we appreciate you making them.
