I think your channel is one of the most underrated channel in the YT. Your videos are amazing and their contents are wonderful and unique as well.....❤❤❤❤
Hi! Love this video and your channel! Wondering how many miles total you hiked/walked during this whole journey! Thanks and best of luck to you and your hiking adventures!
Thanks! Capulioc to Yanama is about 27 miles and Hidroelectric to Aguas Calientes is less than 7 miles. Good luck to you also and I hope you get the chance to do this hike in the future. It's one of the best!
Congratulations again on a successful solo Rio Negro trip in Brazil. You have inspired me and I hope to get there soon. I hope to see you in the future Hendi.
@@IncanExpeditions I am always ready for an adventure so I am sure will meet. Anyway I am working on relocating in South America so this should be easy. Thanks for the info , I did the basic inca road many years back but this route looks way more interesting and I am trying to get something to do in the near futur. Thanks again and keep up the great job.
@@hendikaf3525 If you've already been to Machu Picchu and want to hike to other ruins there are the Vilcabamba to Choquequirao or Espiritu Pampa options. See you then!
Hi! Great footage! I'm planning a similar trip in August. Did you used a smartphone during this trip? Did you have access to the internet and cell phone signal? Greetings from Germany!!
Greetings! I used a phone with offline GPS only (downloaded map). You may still get a signal as far as the Capuliyoc hostal but not during the walking portion of this hike. Dino has a satellite phone and you can find him somewhere along the trail. You can ask where he is at either Chiquiska or Santa Rosa Baja so you don't miss him along the way. You may not regain a signal until Santa Teresa.
@@IncanExpeditions Thank you for your prompt reply Sir. I really want to do this trek solo, hope to find a companion until then :) How to deal with the altidude, supply of water? I would appreciate it very much if you would give me some infos&tips.
@@cokiyideolducokdaguzeliyio462 There are altitude sickness pills here in Cusco farmacias called "Soroche" or "Sorojchi". For water take notes on the video where you can find it because you don't want to have to carry too much. I'd bring a mini Sawyer filter or similar and at least a 2 liter bottle. I'd ask ahead about water supply as things can dry up Aug-Nov. The communities will always have water to drink or purify.
What is the size of that pack? 60 liters?... great video btw! Planning a solo trip in 2023, would really like your help planning it. I'll e-mail you soon
It's 40 liters but not doable with bulky regular food. I can provide dehydrated meals here: incachef.com. Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Sure, send me an email and I'll do what I can.
@@IncanExpeditions I was in Peru last in August. I was going to hike from Ausangate to the south end of Sibinacocha. I ended up getting stomach bug that prevented me from eating much, so we bailed and walked to Chillca. It was a similar route that you took during your Ausangate x Rainbow Mountain bike packing trip.
Yes, I looked at that one. You have to go over another range to get to Sabinacocha. It doesn't look easy to do. The stomach bug thing is too common and very unfortunate. If you happen to come back I would be willing to plan something out. I thought about packraft sailing the lake from west to east.
This depends on the time of year. Jan - March is less likely due to mudslides. June - Aug is more likely with tourism. "Express" means private, your group only and can cost up to S/400 soles so ask the driver if there are others interested in going. When you get to Yanama you just have to ask people to find the driver. Let him know you want to go the next morning. His van is most likely parked on the road.
Any news on how the trail is now with the protests? I was hoping to go on May. But from the news it looks like things are getting worse. And Machu Picchu is closed :(
machupicchu.gob.pe is the official site for entrance tickets but if you're already coming and have trouble come see us at Kiskapata L-5 20 meters east of the San Blas Mirador and we can try to help. There are no guarantees nowadays but in person and local is your best bet.
Wow, what an outstanding route thank you very much for documenting and sharing all the infos, Machu Picchu definitely on my list now and getting a mula is not cheating in my eyes ;) In case you want to follow me and my dog on some trails it would make me more than happy if you stop by. Take care out there. Best wishes, Mario
A mula is a great idea and I'm sure your dog would appreciate it. Thanks for watching Mario. I wish you the best for your travels and for your channel.
I would say yes but not the uphill portions. Hire mules for the 2 hikes up and ride the 3 downhills. Let me know if you want help setting this up. After the Totora Pass you can bike downhill until Santa Teresa and the Urubamba River / Hydroelectric Station. Thanks for watching.
You make the best adventure video’s on UA-cam 👍🏼💪🏼👊🏻👍🏼
Thanks! That means a lot especially since this was a long one. Cheers!
Finally, someone with real content. Unlike the other millennial social media influencers with cutsey self centered vlogs full of fluff.
You're hilarious. Thanks!

Thank you!! I really appreciate it. I don't know what's going on with YT but I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for watching.
Glad I found this channel u make great videos
Thank you very much!
Very well put together. Coming back to finish out the Salkanty end of Feb. This one is catching my eye for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I would suggest this one over Salkantay. You get the ruins but it is more difficult. C'mon back!
Oh...it is just amazing, speechless❤❤❤❤❤
Cool! You made my day today :)
This deserves waaaay more views. Absolutely awesome!
Thanks Smoky!
Great adventure like Indiana Jones wonderfull .
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Realmente magico

Haha! My pleasure. I hope you do get to go. Thank you very much for watching!

Any month between May and November is best for this trek.

Freaking awesome!!!
It's one of the best!
I wanna do it I'm a auruakka lokono native Indian .. and I love it
Awesome! I have always been interested in the Arawaks and have wanted to go up north to learn more!
This is really cool. What time of the year did you do this trek? And we’re there any trail closures due to landslides?
This was late November and none of the trails were closed only the road from Yanama to Santa Teresa due to the landslide.
I have a picture of the pumasillo apu from the choquequirao priests window.
Cool! Are you able to post it here? I would love to see it.
@@IncanExpeditions i can email you a copy of the image. :)

After arriving at Yanama, how likely will i find transport to Santa Teresa? How does the Express Serivce work, who would i look for?

I heard a rumor that Machu Picchu will open back up tomorrow but don't hold me to it.
@Incan Expeditions thanks for sharing the official site and possible good news. Keeping my hopes up here for a Peruvian trip this May!

can one bike this route?

Oh no I'm too fat for mules and horses ! 70 kg !
