Come along on a two day hike in Cusco, Peru! There's some spectacular moments, some unbelievable scenery, a few surprises and an unfortunate problem... Check out South America tours (and more!) here: geni.us/fzR3R ⬇ See below for more details and recommendations ⬇
Welcome back to our South America adventures (more on that below) and to our second travel vlog from Peru! We're in Cusco and hiking our way towards Machu Picchu, the gem of Peru travel.
We're doing a portion of the Lares Trek, which is typically done over 3-5 days, wrapping up with the final day at Machu Picchu. The Lares Trek passes through Andean communities which have remained unchanged over centuries, you don’t just get to hike part of the Inca Trail system, you actually get to meet the descendants of those people who built the Inca Trails and Machu Picchu. Rivers, lakes, waterfalls, snowwy peaks, this hike had it all!
The campsite we slept at was built by G Adventures, as part of staying there they pay a fee per person to support the locals and help the community thrive. These areas are so unbelievably remote, it's amazing to see a community of people, chefs, guides, porters and families thriving!
These South America travels were filmed in October 2023, an amazing time of year to visit. We spent a month exploring Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile and these travel vlogs are to share our experience of the first time touching the continent... safe to say we loved it! Over that time we took 2 different tours with G Adventures and that saved our ass in more ways than one - stress free, safer, all the travel advice we needed, transport pre-arranged and an epic group of people to travel with.

The journey where your legs beg for mercy, but your mind says, "Let's get high on history!" Who knew trekking could be this much of an uphill battle for your breath, and yet downhill fun for your Instagram? Machu Picchu has been my personal bucket list since then. Hopefully, when the luck finds me, my travel dart would perfectly land in Peru so I could experience it, too!

We just posted our Machu Picchu vlog, hopefully it gives you some extra luck for that next dart throw!

@@DanegerAndStacey Only Kiwis would say “llamas are just our sheep”……LOL. I did the Inka Trail when it was not crowded as it is now. An amazing experience. Do you know that the word “jerky” was an Inca word that was introduced to English? The Inca Empire had hiking trails that extended from Pasto, Colombia to Maule, Chile, a distance of 5,658 Km. For the purpose of comparison the driving distance from Sydney, NSW to Perth, WA 3,930 Km.

Well done finishing the hike despite the altitude sickness! Hopefully from here you were feeling better!

I would normally say 'it's only uphill from here' but I'm very much looking forward to going back down to sea level 😂

What an incredible experience!! In my 2 visits to Peru (and Machu Picchu), I never had this hiking and camping experience. Thank you for taking us along! I feel for Stace with her altitude sickness. What a trooper!!

@DanegerAndStacey 8 ай бұрын

The hiking and camping was such a great experience (even despite the altitude sickness) such a fun way to meet locals like little Hairo 🥰

Stacey so pleased Relieved you Recovered and managed to finish the Trip 🙏🫶 Those socks you bought looked beautiful ( i can imagine how soft they were ) This Trip id Mind blowing and the locals & staff of the trip are so friendly and take care of you All so well.🥰

@DanegerAndStacey 7 ай бұрын

Recovery was pretty quick once I hiked down further, phew! The socks are SO soft, they have lost shape a little bit hehe but that's to be expected

Great job completing the hike despite the altitude sickness! I've been there and it's not fun. One piece of totally unsolicited advice (please ignore if n/a), is that I've found wearing lighter colors has done wonders to help me hike at altitude. I too always wore black outfits; I also have black hair like Stacey. Switching to a white hat and lighter colored clothing has done wonders to me at altitude. The sun is stronger higher up and even on cloudy days I notice a difference. I no longer feel dizzy, have headaches, etc. and I noticed the difference immediately. Perhaps just something to try!

@DanegerAndStacey 8 ай бұрын

Thank you so much! Aw nooo, sorry to hear you've experienced it too, it's not much fun! Oh no way, that's SO interesting and very much welcomed advice. I will 100% try this next time, looks like I'm gonna have to go shopppppinnnnggggg 🤗🤣

Harriet and I did a similar hike in Cusco but had to be careful about attitudes and had prepared for it with medical remedies. It helped us throughout the hike. Hope you managed to enjoy the people, food and culture. Hope you're doing ok. All the best 🙏❤🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va.

Glad you guys were well prepared, you just never know with altitude sickness - the pills I had didn't help at all sadly. Definitely still managed to enjoy myself 😊 Such a beautiful place and amazing people!
