Any feedback would be helpful and appreciated. Anything like: what you found useful, what I could have included, what your hiking plans are etc. Thanks!
Can't believe I found your channel! First, I was looking for the Alpamayo circuit in AllTrails, I saw your comment there. Then I searched the hike in youtube and you have a full in-depth video on it! Planning to do the hike in february 2024, followed by the Huayhuash trek in the same month.
Hi! Thank you for finding my AllTrails comment and my UA-cam video! Sounds like you have some excellent high elevation hiking plans for next year. I hope everything goes well. My Alpamayo hike was the first of four hiking trips in the Peruvian Andes last July for me. The Alpamayo hike kicked my butt. I was going so slow up some of those passes, but it helped me out for the next three hikes I did. I hope you get to walk with some dogs when you are there. Take care.
@@CaryMercer Hey there. Sor sure, high elevation is a major challenge! Also, do you think a GPS (like inReach) is necessary for those hikes? Looking forward to your next hiking film. Thanks a lot! Take care
Entire panorama is breathtaking, Cary!! It’s exhilarating to pass where so few have tread. Your footage is always riveting and this Alpamayo is especially so!! ❤️
Hey Leslie! Thank you. I was thinking about ending this hike after day two because of being sick and how challenging of a hike that the Alpamayo circuit is, but I'm glad I stuck it out and completed it.
Another incredible video Cary! The hike looks awesome to m, challenging but beautiful. Your films exactly meet my taste, thankful that you always put yourself out there to create productions like this! Have a wonderful week, Mario
Haha, yeah, it happened on three occasions in those mountains. Still, a pretty unique experience I will remember for a long time. I just wish I would have had more food to share.
Beautiful video and great guide. I really enjoy watching all your videos. Your footage selection is great and I appreciate very much the information you provide for hiking. Thank you Cary!
Thank you so much. Your comment means a lot to mean. I feel like I'm starting to get a little better. I begin my tour du mont blanc loop tomorrow. I'm excited for it. Hoping for mostly good weather.
@@CaryMercer Enjoy the mont blanc, I know it will be great. I grew up in Italy and I am more familiar with the easter side of the Alps (Dolomites area). Looking forward to your new video!
Such great views of my Peru, thank you for putting this together as well as the information. I work in tourism in Peru and to be able to check out such accurate info makes me so happy, thank you Cary!
It equally makes me happy to know that you found the video useful. I love Peru. I hope to return again one day. I really appreciate you watching. Take care.
Hi, there are many dogs in Peru that don't have owners. It is nice seeing some dogs that can go where they want to go, but also, it can be heartbreaking when you see some that are pretty skinny.
What circuit did you like the most and why: the Alpamayo or the Huay Huash? Í´m planning visiting Peru next year and I am not quite sure which of both circuits to choose.
Can't go wrong with either. Will you do as a self-guided trek? Huayhuash is further from Huaraz. Wasn't challenging getting to the start of huayhuash, but the return journey required some hitchhiking.
I will do it on my own, I speak spanisch so it wount be a problem to find the trek I guess. Watching your videos it seems Huayhuash is more turistic and better known, maybe higher in altitude because of the lack of vegetation. Alpamayo instead seems less known, more solitary and with less people. Is it this way?
@@robert-anderson-74 Hey Robert, yes, I think more people do Huayhuash than Alpamayo. I think most do the Santa Cruz trek, which shares some of the same miles as Alpamayo, but yes, for most of the Alpamayo you will find that is more solitary and less people. I found both to be challenging, rewarding treks.

Such a nice work!! Did the hike two years ago, great memories.
I’m happy the video brought back some good memories for you. Thank you for watching.

Hey Mario! Nice to "see" you. Hope you are well. Thank you.
So glad you explained the dog 😅 I was so confused about how you suddenly got a new pet out in the wilderness.
Haha, yeah, it happened on three occasions in those mountains. Still, a pretty unique experience I will remember for a long time. I just wish I would have had more food to share.

Que naturaleza ! Amazing and immersive shots, one can feel the peace by looking at it. 4.750m above sea-level .... Thx Cary.
Thank you!
Great video, just wondering how long you would recommend acclimating before the hike
Thanks. I think two nights in Huaraz would be enough for most. Proper sleep and hydration is important.
This guy is quality
Thanks Mike. I appreciate it.

Who's dog is that and where did they come from?!?

First part felt straight out of National Geographic
I think some facts about the area or the history of the mountain would be nice at the beginning part of video
Excellent. Thanks for the feedback. I start the Huayhuash in a few days and I will look to incorporate that into my next video. Thank you.

@CaryMercer thank You for showing my country to the World
@@osli9105 I love Peru. I'm grateful for having the opportunity to visit and explore your country.
El reportero es mudo?
¡Hola! Gracias por mirar y comentar. El tipo de vídeo es "caminata silenciosa". No hablo durante la caminata. Yo uso música ambiental.
