If you've wandered into this description somehow.. Hi this is Thomas :) just wanted to say hello and that I really appreciate you for being here! Proud of Ammar and Cory for this story, truly wasn't an easy one.

This was one of the most intense places we’ve ever traveled to.. We weren’t fully prepared to how intense it would really be, but are grateful for the friendly locals we ended up connecting with 🙏 hope you enjoyed this short documentary
what are y'all cooking up for matpats style theory fashion show??
Didn’t this video come out before is this a re post ??
What a shocker of a place.
What place is this? Which country?
what drone do you guys use? the views are insane!
U GUYS BETTER HAVE A SECOND PART OR MORE OF THIS VIDEO CUZ WE DIDN'T SEE NOTHING IN THIS VIDEO BUT ALOT OF TALKING
Fidel was my tour guide on the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu in March 2023. He is such a sweet and amazing person, such a kind soul. I had the pleasure to travel with him for 5 days. I can’t believe I just came across this video and saw him here completely by coincidence. Much love for Fidel, you are awesome 🤍
Thats where I remember Fidel from......Cusco and Aguas Calientes/Machu Picchu. I lived in Cusco off and on for 10 years and never forget a face.
We really live in a small world. Hearing this is amazing, what a coincidence!
I'm convinced Fidel is a guardian angel, like St. Christopher incarnate, the patron saint of travelers.
I did the Salkantay in Nov 2019 and had the best guide, Charley. So wonderful!
I remember Fidel he was our guide in Havana, such a nice guy, and often misunderstood.
Fidel was literally your blessing, I'm not sure how things would've gone without him. I seriously hope he gets everything he desires as a "reward" for being such a nice, kind-hearted soul☺
U think he didn't get paid??🤣🤣🤣
Truly a blessing!
Good point, but I also think that the locals know that you'd have to be really stupid to rob/hurt these UA-camrs because it will be such a high-profile case and will probamy force considerable action by tye government. Then again, really stupid people exist...
@@Smauritsius None of the locals give a shit, and the goverment wont do anything either.
@24:21. Yeah it could just be that they made plans to meet in cusco, but if I had to guess I'd say these men and the ironically only peruvian worker who speaks english may or may not be involved with their respective countries government agencies. UA-camrs with 8 million views aren't going to risk their lives in anyway. They however have to continue to give off that vibe as to seem realistic and not multi millionare world travelers...
The Orange jacket and yellow pants really help with blending in.
Those clothes! Seriously guys!?
😅😅😅
Yeah! I just made a comment like that and just now read yours. Totally agree! haha
In 1980 I made the mistake of signing a contract to take my trained dogs to perform with a circus in Peru and Bolivia. The people were fantastic but the conditions were unbelievable. Where we performed in Lima was about a mile from the big market. I had to go every day to buy food for my dogs. I was constantly warned about the dangers for a young gringo walking alone but I never encountered anything negative in that regard.
It is amazing to see Peru 45 years later and it still looks the same as some of the places we passed through.
When I finally landed back in Miami I kissed the ground. I can fully understand why so many people will risk everything to leave.
This is an extreme case of city in Peru tho (not that Peru's other cities are safe, but they are not AS dangerous as this one)
I hope they all make it to a life of safety and happiness.
hahaha shut up dude
You had the worst clothes to show up to a dangerous city. Keep low profile next times. Great Video!
Lol for real!
Literally his bright orange jacket and highlighter pants
That was my first thought, for someone who has traveled the world not a whole lot of street smarts
If they had any hope of blending in I'd agree 100%. But walking around with expensive cameras and a drone, interviewing people, etc. they were going to be immediately noticed by anyone with mal intent no matter what. At that point being bold, confident, and friendly, and being as noticeable as possible to as many people as possible may actually be the best approach.
Thank you Serbia!
The guy that helped him walk around to meet people and talk with, you can tell he has a amazing soul.so cool of him to treat people like he does. You can tell he was raised by good people and learned a lot of respect..
That guy with the smile was a bright light in a dark tunnel. Amazing person
you can just hear the pain and sorrow in Adela's voice....so heartbreaking
Really makes you appreciate what you have and where you live. I hope she’s able to relax soon.
sounds like Seattle during the pandemic
I wish her the best. 🙏
@@reboxtherapy 1st world bullshit
well at least this guy gave her 1$ im sure that will help
La Rinconada has been on my list for 5+ years and I’m so glad to see you guys made it there. I most likely won’t visit and it’s a pleasure to be able to sit back, with a cup of coffee in hand, and watch this from the comfort of my home. Love you guys !!!! 🇵🇪❤️
Drew Binsky! I’m a big fan!
"You can do it!" - Rob Schneider
Such a fan of you Drew, as well as Yes Theory!!!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to see the world through all of your eyes.
:D
damn drew who saw this aint said hell nah am not going there anymore
Even in the most remote, dangerous and lawless areas Peruvian people are absolutely beautiful. I got to experience that at first hand in a two week trip around Peru without any plans and I came back absolutely in love with the country and the people.
The fact that we get free videos on UA-cam by Yes Theory is truly a gift; keeping the education and knowledge alive. 👏👏👏
You’re correct ✅❤️
“you are a magnet to good people”. he couldn’t have said it better to this miner.
❤ yes, sponsor him to emigrate.
Absolutely right ❤
Be very, very careful. You guys were very trusting and it reminded me of myself when I travelled to Havana last year. I met some friendly locals. They spent the whole day with me and invited me out to a restaurant at night. We had a great time at the restaurant. Except that they drugged my drink. Then, when we left, they jumped me. Beat me viciously, leaving me bleeding from the head, with severe bruising on the side from kicks, and a fractured leg. They also stole my phone all of my money and left me bleeding on the ground. Never again will I be so naive when travelling. Beware.
Very good advice
So sorry to hear that! It could have been just a great hospitality story…
Was that in Havana, Cuba?
They are simply unprofessional.
Sound advise. And specially beware if a pretty woman is magically attracted to you and hints at possible sex. Specially in Colombia, but everywhere. You trust no one you don't know in those countries.
Lifetime movie?
I am French-Peruvia and have lived in the comfort of a rich country my whoe life. I feel a deep connection to these people . Thank you for showing their lives without judging them.
Really great piece fellas !! Love that you were able to integrate into the local community and bump into the nicest guy in town on a whim. Says a lot about the energy you both carry with you where ever you go. Also love the level gratitude that you came away with from having an experience like this. Well earned new sub !! Cheers
Those drone shots are nuts. I still can’t get over the fact that anyone with a backpack full of gear can pull off shots that were only possible with a chartered helicopter 10 years ago.
It's probably helpful to the locals and even the government so that they can see the extent of the sprawl
what drone did he fly ?
Man I would love to see Fidel on another adventure with you guys. Such a beautiful soul ❤
This comment needs more likes-couldn’t agree more
Petition for them to employ Fidel.
Yes!!! I agree.
25:57; This phenomenon is called High-altitude diuresis! Essentially the body is trying to lose water to increase the hematocrit in an attempt to transport oxygen more efficiently! But this also leads to a decrease in total blood volume which in turn increases the heart rate to keep a stable blood pressure! Because of the high-altitude diuresis and also the hyperventilation, which is caused by a decrease in PaO2, it is very important to drink at least 4 liters of water a day! Also there are some medications like Acetazolamide, which decrease the amount of CO2 exhaled and by this help to keep a more physiological PaCO2, which in the end helps the body to acclimatize!
It amazes me that even in a lawles land you find goodhearted kind people.
I met someone like Fidel in a small town in Mexico last Nov after my phone broke and I didn't have the exact address or contact to my Airbnb! He and his friend (college age) stayed with me in the 90F heat for hours trying to both get me a new phone and find the accommodation details, even driving me to phone shops and inviting me to his very humble home and giving me snacks and water. They wanted nothing in return and it is one of many sweet stories I have of Mexico and the Mexican people but prob my favorite.
Mexicans have aways been my favorite ppl til they betrayed me & stole the catlytic convertor from my '94 cadillac & a couple other things
You did all that knsteadnof borrowing his phone - log into your email and getting the info -smh
No internet cafes? No one with a phone or computer you could log into your mail from? Seems extreme
@@nixm9093internet cafes are a thing of the past. Some people don't remember their login by heart, it's stored in their devices and they don't remember. Just like people loose some ability to orientate because of GPS use.😊
As soon as I heard Adela speak with Ammar, I couldn't stop crying! I could hear the sadness in her voice immediately. I'm only 12 minutes in, but already I know this is gonna be another YES Theory eye-opening experience.
As someone who only saw this story in the edit, I can testify I felt the exact same 😔 -Thomas
And ironically, Adela seemed to be MUCH better off than so many other women and girls in that area. Yes, Adela had to glean these rocks to feed her children but she appears to have avoided the horrors of being trafficked.
@@wardarcade7452 Or is that the reason how she stranded there in the first place. Her voice sounded like she had a véry long story to tell. :,(
@@laurensvanderveken6373 It's possible or maybe she had had a husband abandoned the family/died. At least she appears to be independent and not part of trafficking at this time.
Bingo!! "...appears to be..."! Can't tell much from such a short clip. 🤷🏼♀️ But we can only hope!! 😔@@wardarcade7452
That coal worker named Fidal is a real one. What an amazing guy, so kind and helpful. Great video as always ❤
Peruvians are some of the kindest people out there. Very funny too
I second this 🫡
He was my tour guide for a hike near Cusco a few years ago, one of the nicest guys you could ever meet
Clearly a hired guide. Nothing wrong with that, but I wish they didn't make it appear like they ran into him on the street
@@shoemakerluis How sure are you of this?
This video really humbled my heart tonight. Thank you for this content. Whomever you need to pass the baton to so these videos or content never stop, it's honestly vital for us to see cultures like this......thank you
Videos like this should help ppl reflect on life and how somewhere in the world other ppl have it just as tough if not worse. Appreciate what you have the main thing being time so make the most of it
Guys, I’ve said this before, but you are KILLING IT IN 2024! WOOOOW! The videography, script, travels never looked so good!
Thank you so much Beatriz!! Always appreciate your support -Thomas
This video came out in 2021 or 2022. This is a repost that i ended up rewatching. Great video though.

First time I've seen any of your videos but I'm hooked.
This was really eye opening. Certainly makes you appreciate what you have.
I took so many things for granted until I took a missions trip to a village in South America. I count every little thing as a blessing now!
USA have it so easy man, but you cry like babies every day. You have no idea.
I worked in the mining industry of that part of Peru. At first i would get sick and feel very light headed. When i worked i would huff and puff a lot. After working up there for a year my body had totally adapted and i could labour all day without feeling ill. Its amazing how the human body can adapt to extreme environments and thanks for the very nice video.
People from here should be winning marathons because of the altitude
@UltraCoder I crossed the border between Bolivia and Chile after Chile lost a football match in LA Paz. We asked about the Bolivian guards teasing them and they said "Everyone loses in LA Paz" stadium is at 14,100 feet.
The problem is the Bolivian on the road record. Equidor is the only other stadium not at sea level.
It's the same with food, most Western people eat far more than they need
There is a tribe in Peru that lives high into the mountains They are tough. They can run all day.
@@UltraCoder I would assume that coming down from the mountains also requires adapting so I doubt they’d have any advantage.
I stayed in La Rinconada around 2014 for 6 days with 2 friends. We had no oxygen tanks and no budget. It was nuts.
We managed to stay out of trouble. But it was scary AF at times. Its an extremely bleak place. Like a depressing vibe.
There are some wonderful people there just trying to make some money but there is also a really dark underbelly of drugs, violence, crime, prostitution and murder. Every week someone dies in the mines from cave ins and accidents. Death is familiar to them.
Someone gets murdered every week or so. There is much suspicion and gold fever. Literally from the mercury they use to leach the gold out of the rock it contaminates the water supply and makes people a bit crazy.
its like a wild west kind of thing. Anyway as long as you stay away from the nightclubs and bars and dont do anything stupid you will probably be ok :)
The "room" at the "hostel" we rented was just a thin plywood box next to many more of these boxes inside the building. You could hear everything. The miners in the next room had prostitutes. Yea it was not fun. I mean it was so cold and I chewed coca leaves to help with breathing which also keeps you awake most of the night. Imagine that.. No sleep, cold, high and surrounded by the sounds of drunken miners having sex. Yep cant beat that night after night. If your going to La Rinconada make sure you have enough $ for a real room with real solid thick walls and perhaps some kind of actual toilet. We just had one hole in the floor to squat over that was in the bend of the hallway of the "hostel" with a curtain around it for privacy.
Theres a lot more I could say about La Rinc but hey its an experience ill never forget thats for sure!
You have to adapt and take a prostitute (or a gigolo?) in your room also. Or else, don't stay in cheap hostels.
Sounds like America
@@jonnyseablue6911 do you mean the US? Peru is in America
As you said it's an experience. You're blessed to experience something few have and survived to share with everyone
Absolutely wild experience! Thanks for sharing.
New subscriber; you just popped up on my recommendations.
Only just at the beginning of this video but looks like it’s going to be a wild ride so looking forward to it.
Ah man Ammar. This one is truly heartbreaking. Thanks showing this to the whole world.
Fidel is a wonderful human, this Man is a Hero.
I like nearly every documentary about those, poor places, I say poor places, I don't really know how to express it respectfully...
Your documentaries are so human, so kind, so full of love. With so much respect and zero judgment, as it should be.
Love you Ammar. For everything you did, do, will do. Never stop to amaze us my friend.
This video highlights how no matter where you are in the World, good people can always be found.
Yes bit its MUCH harder and MUCH more dangerous for women.
I think you already know we women can't travel around like that. We would also have to worry about sexual violence, kidnappning, Robbing..
It's not the same for girls. We just can't travel around like these men do. All women know what I mean.
Yes, unfortunately the same goes with bad people.
Having traveled to 32 countries in 4 continents working in seedy areas with shady characters I feel fortunate to have reached the age of 70 intact in mind and body. I owe a lot to the anonymous good people of the world who offered help when I needed it. ☮❤
And bad people. After all, its nature, and we are part of it. Example, a female praying mantis will often kill the male after mating, and even a pet albino male rat will eat its young if not separated. Same with a male lion. Its nature.
Ain't that the truth.
one thing i really LOVE about yes theory is how real you guys are about situations throughout the world many travel youtubers would turn a blind eye to or talk down on. you guys shed light on negative experiences in a way that acknowledges the pain while spreading love to those experiencing it and inspiring others to do the same. BRAVO!
This comment made my day, a story like this is hard to share so we’re really grateful our intentions are felt. Truly a heartbreaking place and we hope the people of Peru get access to better opportunities not to have to risk their lives like this -Thomas
@@YesTheoryThomas, your channels intentions of only good are always shown. You're so eloquent in what you're saying, that it comes across so easily. I promise you that! 🥰❤ No one could do it more beautifully! 👏👌
Thank you for bringing this to the world. In my thoughts, I often prayed for evil, lurking places or situations, and seeing this has really opened my eyes in how big and great evil is.
I am praying for you young men to be safe.
Always nice to have things put in perspective. After watching this, my little single-wide home in the hills of S. Oregon feels like a 100-room mansion. Peace and love to all....
Adela seemed so exhausted and tired. I hope she finds peace and relaxation soon.
Sounds like a death wish ...
@@JanoschNr1yeah lol
@@JanoschNr1 yeah I was about to say did he just wish death on her. Was hoping he ment to say pieces (of stone) and relax soon. Savage
Hope she finds a large piece of gold
In this place you probably have a high chance of getting killed for it @@rhome4206😊
The sad irony is that Cuzco (Fidel's hometown) had been the Inca Empire's capital city. The Incas (Quechuas) considered the mountains to be literal deities and built altars on summits as high as 22,000 feet [with human sacrifices!]. Yet, they were very conscious of keeping the mountains as pristine as possible knowing how the people depended on keeping nature carefully balanced. Alas, the mountains in this locale are being sacrificed and the people are paying multiples of untold horrific prices! It's hard to imagine that place lasting much longer much less not having a tragic ending. Thanks for being willing to risk yourself to bring us this!
Well said. From prayed at to sacrificed.
Men use the metric system thats way more logical then 22k feet. Anyways thx for info
@@mrcazzovic7960 what size of feet though? Cos if it's 22k standard British male size 9's, then it's probably 26k female feet, or 40k asian woman feet.
They didn't build them that high. It's impressive enough what they did, no need to exaggerate.
@@sparksmcgee6641 Yes, the Quechuas did indeed construct structures on the top of Llullaillaco 22,110 feet above sea level (on the border marking Argentina and Chile) - and even well-structured Incan roads ascending from the valleys below right up to the summit itself where the ceremonial structures (including human sacrifice within) had been built! Amazingly, it wouldn't be until the 1950's when modern climbers would reach the summit only to discover that the Quechuas not only had climbed it centuries earlier but had built what turns out to be the highest altitude permanent structures in the world- even higher than the modern Everest Base Camps in Nepal/Tibet!
This was fascinating.... Excellent work!
Wow! That must have been so intense. Really interesting to see how they live up there. Thank you for this video. Glad you guys made it through safely.
I am from Lima, Peru 🇵🇪 Thanks for making this video. You guys were very respectful and caring in showing the harsh reality in La Rinconada.
It’s heartbreaking to watch people in my own country living in difficult situations. Just a reminder to appreciate and be grateful for all the things we have today. 🙏🏼
Yeah your country is ina really sad state. I feel so sorry for all the girls and women that are forced into s3x trafficking. That's inhuman. Why don't you do anything about that?
It's just insane tour country allows that and doesn't even help the victims in 2024...
That First Lady broke my heart 💔😩 seems so sweet
Yup
and the best piece of advice you'll ever get, don't walk in the mud, because of the Mercury... and that's right listen to your elders, sometimes even if they don't tell you everything
You’re right ❤
Absolutely ❤️
Very cool man. First one I’ve watched, looking forward to another!
Thank you for sharing your adventures across the world for us to see. 🙂
the amount of humility that exists within these videos is astonishing. thank you for always being respectful and putting your lives at risk to share places most people will never get to see.
It's just so sad how such an amazingly beautiful area can hide the depressing reality of poverty and crime. Very glad you instantly found the good people
Exploitation without representation
keep on truckin on !! Awesome. I shall scratch that place off my bucket list, thank you !
Thank you for your videos. As per usual, it's opened my eyes even wider.
The genuine warmth and friendliness from Fidel was so lovely to see especially in an area where daily life looks so hard. And what a smile!
I volunteered with engineers without boarders for some time in that region of Peru. There are some some great rural communities in that region with very sweet and humble people. Fidel reminds me of them. The lack of waste management infrastructure is everywhere there and very sad to see.
borders 🙂
Rightly or wrongly, it reminded me of touristy mountains as far as garbage, oxy tanks and dead bodies - Everest being the most obvious. The consequences of this mining operation are going to be devastating.
@@Luming-di9rfthats the one misspelling that drives me nuts. I don’t know why, but I see it often online.
Wow
Incredible ❤️
Ammar's videos are by far the best ones. His respect, his calm approach is so unique!
Calm and cool
Saw a documentary about this place before and this one is much better. Thank you!
Epigenetics plays a key role in helping people living at high altitudes adapt to low oxygen levels. It involves changes in gene expression, not the gene itself, allowing the body to produce more red blood cells and hemoglobin to carry oxygen efficiently and it is fascinating how you can see that in this video, it was a brilliant idea to measure the oxygen level of people
Indeed, that type of gene has been fond in the Andes and Tibet.
Not sure if you’ll know the answer to this but for the children born and raised in high altitudes, would going down to sea level be dangerous?
I’m glad he brought the ox meter too! That was really cool to see
@@hypotheticalforest why would it be dangerous? they would absorb oxygen just fine like everyone else at sea level.
@@hypotheticalforest no
I was thinking, obviously you can't change overnight, but depending on how long they planned the trip ahead, they could have maximised their iron/red blood cell levels in the run up to maximise their oxygen carrying capacity
You guys are also the magnet for good people wherever you go. It really demonstrates how there are hidden gems in every corner of the world, we just have to be open to seeing them. Even in the worst environments on earth - prisons, war zones, countries riddled with corruption, violence and poverty - there are beautiful people trying to do their best.
You’re right on this one ❤
Absolutely fantastic experience. Thank you for enduring the hardships and bringing us a new perspective from an unknown place. I imagine early American gold mining towns must have had a similar vibe. We glamorize it now but it must have been horrific and filled with very hard people in desperate circumstances. It's incredible you we're able to connect with Fidel. He seems like such cool dude.
First time checking out your channel. Thank you for doing what you do and how you are doing it. Love what you are doing ❤
That woman breaks my heart smashing stones in a rubbish heap.what a tough life.we have it so lucky in the west.
you guys have no idea how good you have it but you cry everyday in a golden crib
The local you met is a true angel , he deserves all the best , we hope to see him again in your videos ❤
Hmm of course he deserves all the best❤️
Amazing video.. It was a blessing that you found the nicest guy in the town.. At the same time, really heart broken to see what we can do to mother nature.. I will really value the little blessings of life going forward.. Thank you Omar and Yes Theory!
This is a pretty amazing video. Thank you for bringing the awareness to the rest of us..🙏🏻😎💯
This is absolutely the 1st video sponsor I have seen in 10 years, with an actually useful and relavent product not widely known... AND he didn't milk it!? Ads done right.
nah airalo is actually way too expensive
@@meredithludlam5348 Anybody with the money to pay for sponsorships tends to be more expensive than the alternatives. They need to pay for the sponsorships somehow 😅 .
Yeaahh... no. It's still annoying.
I've come to watch a video, not listen to an ad. I pay for YT Premium for a reason.
@@J92-11B if you don't have video sponsors guess what... You don't watch the video because it doesn't exist. Nobody likes ads, but we accept them as a compromise for good content. My point was that he briefly mentioned it for 5 seconds as opposed to the usual 3 minute ad with a Disney style script. Tell me which you would prefer 🤣 actually idc, you pay yt premium so obviously a simp
@@meredithludlam5348 I do agree after looking, airolo is the most expensive of these services, but the ad definitely opened my eyes to the existence of e-sim which was very helpful

What does the yellow do?
Yeah what does the yellow do❤
@@GIG_TRAVELS It screams "Look at us!"
Makes it easier to spot the body.
It’s a joke
this is that Utube content that is high-bar stuff. well done! great shots, great use of drones, and you are excellent ambassadors for the best in humanity
Even in the worst places you can still meet the nicest people. What a great guide you found.
Your height alone, makes you stand out. Lived in Cuzco for 5yrs, traveling to Quillabamba, Echarati, Quelleuno. Coca leaves, the entire time until acclimated will keep you right. Your intestines also shut down, always go 24hrs without eating. Helps you acclimate much faster...
So what can you say about the place?
@GIG_TRAVELS like what exactly? Little unknown fact, under Plaza De Aramas, is a lake, coupled with its own eco system. It has ducks and frogs that are blind, that live down there. My wife's aunt is the director of anthropology and archeology. I always thought that was cool.
For food, look for colleges. Surrounding them is where you find super affordable and good food. First 24hrs in Cuzco, don't eat anything but Coca De Mate and Quinoa Soup. Then you find caramel coca candy, most shops down town sell it. Or find coca leaves S/3-5 per bag. Just keep putting more in your mouth, you won't get high so no worries. You will have a little extra energy is all.
If you smoke, good luck !! Catch a bus to Ollantaytambo, it's about 5k ' lower in altitude. Most elderly people do this as they're already oxygen depraved with age.
Coka leaves, chew or drink the tea of. Helps a lot. Had altitude sickness in potosi, Bolivia . Instantly relief. Think it was only at 4700m absl. In 99’. A time to remember for sure.
A wonderful glimpse into that place, fascinating

The yellow was to let everyone know that he is not one of them. And he probably had protection from the local government

This was very interesting and I’m so glad you were all safe and knew your responsibilities to yourself and others around you. ❤️❤️😁😁❤️❤️
All Life is Precious...brilliant story...our heartfelt thanks
I feel like this had such potential to be one of the best documentaries about jewellery industry. We barely got the feel for what it is like to live there, to work in those conditions. Thank you for doing this, I understand it must have been dangerous even to be there. But I feel like we did not see what we actually should have seen.
100%!!!
Absolutely right about that❤️
I am peruvian. And i.wont even dear to go there.. good video glad you made it out in one piece.
Okay princess
@@eldoradodiago2553 It would be like a well to do Australian in an up market Suburb in Sydney Australia in 1977 saying that they wouldn't dare walk into the Suburb of Kings Cross Especially After 6.30pm,... So There is No Need to be a Smart Arse.
@@MrMambott Sorry, I didn't understand the Mambo-Jumbo, Mr Mambo
I’m glad they made it out too ❤️
@@eldoradodiago2553 OK!! It would be like a white guy dressed in a suit carrying a brief case walking through Compton in LA or walking through the Bronx in New York in the late 1970s,,, easier for you to understand now Diago from Eldorado. PS, No need to start crying because I thought your Princess comment meant you needed further a explanation. 😘
Good dsy i found this channel weeks ago while in my oldest sons apartment in NYC i must say i watched so many videos from that point on and subscribed great work i commend you guys keep the videos coming 😊🙏🏾❤️
Great Video!! Thanks guys!
It's heartbreaking seeing what Adela has to go through.
😂 She chose to have 4 kids.. no one forced her. Lots of people forget how to use that thing between their ears!
How did you know she was not forced? @@stevenbaker7025
@@stevenbaker7025 I hope you realise that there are various socioeconomic factors to consider when talking about why people in these conditions may choose to have kids - it's never as easy as "she chose to have 4 kids".
@@stevenbaker7025 Between their ears or their... ermmm.. 🦵 's?
@@stevenbaker7025you never know how many of those kids were due to ra pe, and abortions and contraceptives are expensive when you ca barely afford a meal a day. You are very ignorant. Not every situation is the same.
That was an intense experience! I am delighted that you all had the opportunity to meet Fidel; he is truly a remarkable individual. His assistance was instrumental in ensuring your safe return home. May God bless him and all the wonderful people there. What an incredible journey it has been!
What a good person to have met over there ❤️
Stumbled across this channel. Love it! ❤
You too, Yes Theory, are a magnet for good people! Fidel is such a ray of sunshine!
I have learned to be more appreciative of what I have despite having issues, seeing others living this way, makes me more grateful. Thank you for giving me a better perspective on my life…..As a medical professional, I was VERY concerned about your pulse ox.
There is a moment at 11:19 with the mining lady, When she was asked about her kids she gave a small faint smile and you can just barely see it under her hat. It was a memorable moment for some reason, I wish to have photographed that moment.
Perhaps there *were* more.
@@cdes1776I first thought you meant smiles.. more smiles..but then I got it: you meant more kids 😢
My new favorite ! ❤❤❤❤ y’all are insane, but thank you for being so:)
Their guide was such a wonderful person
Habibi and Cory adventures can get wild eh haha
You guys are crazy indeed!
Glad to see you Cory
This video in its totality is a huge gem. Thank you for being so curious as to travel to these secluded places on earth and give us a glimps into how fortunate so many of us are. It is humbling to see the sacrifices and difficulties people around the world have to endure in order to enjoy a very small portion of what others have in abundance. Really makes me appreciate every single comfort that I have, from hot showers to a cup of tea. Im so greatfull for my life. Thank God. Im a new sub simply because the work that your team does is so exceptional. Thanks, take care and happy ventures ❤
Thank you, take care ❤
That was a beautiful episode. The drone shots were incredible too.
What a sweet, sweet man he was. I wish him all the luck, joy, fortune and happiness for his future! For his kindness alone, he surely deserves it!!! 🥰❤👍
Amen🙏❤️
I hope Fidel is able to find success in his life. He's such a kind human and with a gentle soul. I wish him nothing but the best and thank you, yet again for another amazing content. :)
Thanks for making this very interesting documentary,never even heard of the place…..so sad to see all those poor people living there….it’s good to inform the world about this 👍Great work ,keep it up⭐️and yer guide was such a lovely non bitter person with that amazing smile.
Jhst commenting for tye algorithm because you guys absolutely deserve it.
Thank you so much for what you are doing.
This is absolutely worth it!
Yet another amazing video! As I watched I couldn't help but think this was the 'wild west' of modern times. A large number of us watching need to see these videos so as to remind us to not take our seemingly inconspicuous luxuries for granted. I hope you got Fidel as a contact, maybe one day we can have him as a guide for other interesting parts of Peru, the man deserves some success. Thank you Yes Theory for taking us on these adventures ❤
No matter where in the world you travel, the one thing that’s the same everywhere, is it’s always the people in the poorest most impoverished areas in the roughest corners of the world is where you find the warmest most genuinely sincere smiles.
And the most generosity.
Amazing video! Thank you for taking us along. One question...why not buy one of those blue jumpsuits. That yellow jacket really made you stick out even for a day.
Thank you Yes Theory. Syukran Amar and Thank you Corey, for sharing this experience through your lenses. God bless people like Fidel!
You indeed found gold in the person you met. He has a pure heart that is willing to guide you.
