Machu Picchu is the ruins of a city from the Incan empire that was built in the 15th century. The ruins are in the Andes Mountains, over 2,000 metres above sea level. Its walls and other architectural elements are cut into the natural rock. It’s not certain why the city was first built, although some sources suggest it was used as a royal retreat for the emperor, Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui. It is thought to have been used between the 15th and 16th centuries, but was gradually abandoned over time. Today, it is a very popular tourist site, so much so that the Peruvian government has begun limiting the amount of people able to visit each year to preserve it.

This was a excellent video. Great shots, relevant information, and beneficial 🎉I am scheduled to visit in June...just curious, how did you manage restroom breaks...I did not see many bushes. Everything appears to be in the open?

@GlobalTravelStories 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for that, I’m glad this video helped with your research. There are bushes along the way especially in the lower altitudes but there are also multiple restrooms each day. Plus I find hiking and sweating reduces the need to go so each break was sufficient for us..

That is an amazing trail with fantastic scenery. Who built it and when please. What was its purpose in the day that it was built. You need to be fit and energetic to tackle that. Enjoyed the video again and thank you for it.

Hi love your video ! What shoes and backpack did you use? And do you have a packing video or list of packing ? I will so appreciate it 😊

@GlobalTravelStories 2 ай бұрын

Hi Monica, Glad you loved the video, thanks! Unfortunately we don’t do packing list videos, maybe one day but for now my attention is spent on making the best quality vlogumentary style videos I can. I believe we were both wearing North Face Future Light boots but we have both since upgraded. I have purchased some Mamut Gortex boots for our Everest base camp trip coming soon. The Inca Trail seemed fine in our standard hiking boots though, I wouldn’t imagine you’d run into any issues with something similar. Have an epic time on the trail, it’s amazing!

didn't the Inca see the dark spaces in the Milky Way as a kind of constellation?

@GlobalTravelStories 4 ай бұрын

I posted an overlay picture, maybe go back and press pause, the dark spaces resemble a llama and one of the stars represent its eye.

Did you take diamox?

@GlobalTravelStories 3 ай бұрын

I think we started taking it but I was getting some nausea so stopped. I think the main reason I got a bit of altitude sickness was from talking too much instead of breathing 😂

v nice video !! but stay away from history until you question everything that you read or were told or you ever decided .. l !

@GlobalTravelStories 4 ай бұрын

Thanks! As a tour guide history is a big part of what we do. The opinions expressed are that of the local people and come directly from them. The history itself is objective and never subjective. Stating established facts shouldn’t be avoided in these videos, in fact it’s a huge part of what draws us to travel in the first place and something we will never skirt around, everything has been well researched before posting.
