  • After exploring Lima, I hopped on an Oltursa bus to be on my way to Cusco. Despite reading some negative reviews online, I decided to book a ticket and give it a shot. Were the negative reviews correct, or did the ride end up being much better than expected?

    Hello Bergen, very nice trip, yes you are right, most tourists fly from Lima to Cusco but they miss seeing the scenery when going from the desert coastline to the Andes mountains.The drink that you had was a popular breakfast drink made of quinoa, apples and cinnamon. I hope that the high altitude didn’t affect you too much, you know that you have to drink coca tea to avoid getting sick. Cheers from Florida.

    • @bergendavis
      @bergendavis  Рік тому +4

      Absolutely, it was well worth the ride. Beautiful country. The breakfast drink was delicious, thank you for the information! So far, no issue for me in Cusco in regard to the altitude. I’ve been drinking my coca tea as well. Thanks for watching!

    • @andreshansel6810

      lately, many tourist are choosing travel by bus. It would be useless to get to know Cusco without seeing the entire road to get to the city.

      in Peru, all people is demanding with a comfort. That´s why the companies buy buses with reclining sofa type seats.

    Breakfast for 70 cents. That’s insane, and you know that cheese, bread and beverage was organic.

    • @bergendavis
      @bergendavis  Рік тому +3

      The prices there are insanely cheap. If you eat at the little local places you can get quick meals for $1-3 USD. Or if you want to go to a fancy sit down restaurant, you can get a beautiful dinner for $10-15 USD (but it would cost $50+ in the states)

      Gracias lo aprecio. Todas las diferentes comidas mientras estuve en Perú fueron definitivamente lo más destacado del viaje. ¡Todo estuvo delicioso! Necesito aprender español antes de volver, de esa manera puedo tener una experiencia aún más valiosa y poder interactuar mucho más con los lugareños. ¡Bendiciones!

    Woah very brave of you. Cool boy, yk i'm a local and also have traveled by myself to many countries but like to do that in my own country always felt little bit dangerous. Definitely trying this route to cusco one day. Maybe i'll even try to visit your city too (never been in phoenix or AZ before😅) anyways, hope you had a great time here.

    • @bergendavis

      Thanks for watching! I had an amazing time visiting Peru, I would love to get back in the future. I highly recommend the bus ride, it was a great way to see different areas! I recently moved to southern Oregon, I highly recommend visiting the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana). Lots of beautiful mountains and rivers!

    Thanks man. This video is very helpful to me. I was on the fence to book this bus vs flying there. Now I’ll take the plunge.
    The ticket is actually $25 USD and I’m gonna buy it now. I’m wondering which seat is the best to see the TV?
    I have all the seats on the upper floor available and I wanna pick the best seat! Any thoughts?

    • @bergendavis
      @bergendavis  Рік тому +5

      Thanks for watching, I’m glad it was helpful! As far as which seat is the best, that’s hard to say. The TVs are placed every few seats in the center aisle, so I would say most seats have decent visibility. I’d recommend bringing wired headphones, there’s a place you can plug in to watch the movie (versus having to turn up the speaker volume, which could be annoying to other passengers).
      I hope you have a great time and your travels go smoothly!

    • @andreshansel6810
      @andreshansel6810 7 місяців тому

      I would recommend the seats with a panoramic view (seats 1 and 2), in case you choose a bus company that has double-decker buses, which is common in Peru.

    • @bergendavis
      @bergendavis  3 місяці тому

      I really enjoyed the bus ride with the beautiful views! Nope, I had no issues with the altitude when arriving in Cusco. I didn't get any altitude sickness and I had no problem with hiking there thankfully.

    Great video! Did the bus ride and the roads feel unsafe? I'm contemplating whether to ride a bus or just fly to Cusco.

    • @bergendavis
      @bergendavis  Рік тому +1

      I personally never felt unsafe! I didn’t have any checked luggage, just a backpack that I kept with me at my seat. So I didn’t have to worry about theft or anything during the stops when ppl were unloading in different locations.
      The roads are very windy going up mountain passes, which I only mention because if you’re prone to motion sickness that could be an issue (wasn’t a problem for me at all).
      So all in all, I wouldn’t highly recommend it! It’s cheaper than flying, and despite it being a long journey, I found it to be very rewarding to see so much of the country. The views are incredible!

    Can I load a gym type of bag carryon bag in those buses ?

    • @bergendavis
      @bergendavis  6 місяців тому +1

      Yes, there's room for that. There is room under the bus for large checked luggage, and room under the seats/over the seats for smaller backpacks or personal items. I got lucky and had an empty seat next to me, so I brought my 35L backpack on the bus and put it on the seat beside me.

      @@bergendavis nice ! I need to find a bus like this from Cuzco to ollantaytambo I spoke to the Inca rail lady and she said the affordable public buses don’t allow you to take luggage’s so I was a bit disappointed of you know of any affordable buses like the one you rode from Lima but I need it to ollantaytambo from Cuzco let me know !:)
