How Is Machu Picchu In 2024? (Not What You Think)
Vložit

- Machu Picchu is a bucket list experience, but how is it now? Is it open? Can you still hike in? How do you get there from Cusco? Tickets? We investigate and want to share in this travel vlog... Check out Peru tours (and more!) here: geni.us/fzR3R ⬇ See below for more details and recommendations ⬇
There's something so special about ticking off a bucket list experience, for us, Machu Picchu Peru has always been on that list - spoiler alert, it's just as special as we hoped it would be!
As you'll hear Huber say, Machu Picchu is spiritual in a way, not just for the people of Peru, but for everyone that visits. Thankfully they've limited the visitors so it feels more intimate that I imagine it did in the past, though to be fully transparent, it still feels like A LOT of people go in at a time.
We wanted to find out about how to reach Machu Picchu from Cusco, how to buy tickets, learn more about the history and all that jazz, so hopefully we've been able to share all the info you could possibly need in this one!
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.

Man I can watch your videos for hours. There´s no over the top shouting and freaking out the locals etc and just relaxing calm narration and visuals. Also it is nice to see people who are travelling comfortably and not trying to stretch a buck all the time. Been here since 30k sub and STILL excited about new content, you guys are the best!
We appreciate that more than you know! Thanks for sticking with us for so long, it means so much - Dane and Stace
I paused a movie I was watching when this alert appeared on my phone! I have been waiting for this for too long! So fabulous to see you guys at Machu Picchu. I love that place. I was there in 2004 and 2008. Went by myself in 2008 and was up roaming the grounds for 7 hours! Never got old. I didn't want to leave! This included climbing Huayna Picchu, the mountain behind the citadel which Dane zoomed to see people at its peak. Loved this vlog and can't wait for the next one!
Thanks for taking a pause to come hang and leave a comment!! Do you think there some kind of magic there too? It felt really special in a way, so we can understand how you spent so long there! Good on you for climbing up the big mountain too, must have been amazing views
@DanegerAndStacey I took the earliest bus at 6am and it was past 2pm when I went back down. Just hiked and explored. The view from up top was great but I actually like the view from the front of the citadel best. It was misty wet early on, but sunny and dry as it got closer to noon. I even found a spot to lie down on the grass and dozed off for a short nap! Woke up and found myself at Machu Picchu!
Wow what a fabulous video - - - Please do a longer video showing more of Machu Picchu & the history etc - I would really love to see more in detail 🙂
oh that's a morning view alright! so interesting to hear your guide talk about the construction and history. One day I hope to make it there myself.
Machu Picchu is a magical place. But like any place it needs to be protected from over-tourism. Finding that right balance is the challenge. We have been . As we did, we came away from the experience with a new awareness of how fragile it can become. Hope you guys did too. Great Video. 🙏🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki
this was inspiring! thanks for uploading this it makes me want to make my videos a little more like this. thanks!!
Wow! Beatiful views and impressive constructions. What a nice thing to have the history of this place told first hand by local guides. My boyfriend and I visited NZ after watching your videos🤩. We are from Argentina and we really enjoy your blogs and Instagram content!! We are thinking of new places to visit and who knows Machu Picchu may be next on the list! Looks incredible, thanks for sharing guys.
Glad you enjoyed it in NZ - it's special huh? Yeah Machu Picchu is one of those places that just doesn't translate on camera, there's a 'feeling' there that you need to see to appreciate, highly recommend it!
Amazing Machu Picchu! Very awesome place to visit. Thanks guys! 😎⛰🦙
It’s a bloody stunner! Thanks for hanging with us
@@DanegerAndStacey ofcourse. its a pleasure 😎
GREAT video!!! We will be there in September! Once in a lifetime trip! Sending lots of love from Chicago, IL. Woooo!
It's going to rock your world! Theres a beautiful feeling there you will love
The last time I was on your channel was 5 years ago, when you were in Poland. It's good to find you again and see that you are still on your way. I greet warmly
thanks for tuning back in! We still talk about going back to Poland, awesome place
I love your easy going videos guys! At what time of the year did you go? The weathers‘s glorious!
Amazing. Number 1 place on my bucket list. Great video
If that's the case you will love it as well, so special!
Wauw Stunning 😍 the views are just Breathtaking 🥰
No wonder its a Bucket lijst for many 😊 .
I'm very new to your channel and if I could I would probably binge watch all your videos (but unfortunately jobs are a thing so I'm catching up with you guys in a very slow pace😂). But honestly I love how you also include the local guides and interesting facts at the same time as showing us these beautiful places and your personal experience :) Also super random but I love that your videos are not overly colour corrected, as stupid as it may sound but I saw so many videos that use filters that just create unrealistic expectations when there is absolutely no need for it😅
This is such amazing feedback, thank you! Welcome on board anyway and thanks for following along and leaving a comment, it means a lot and helps the algorithm as well which we really appreciate!
es una de las mas hermosas maravilas del mundo_!!!
You guys rock!😎 been missing yall' Hi from Phnom Penh!!
Hey hey! Thanks for tuning back in
Amazing vlog! Super helpful and informative, and nice to get a better picture of what everything really looks like
Very well done video! Thanks for all the information 😃
Thanks, you're so welcome!
Beautiful
Amazing place. Thank you for this wonderful video.
You're SO welcome
@@DanegerAndStacey 😀
Nice!🥰 greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩🙏🏽
Beautiful machu picchu place ❤❤❤ 🇳🇵
It's where the only thing higher than the altitude is the level of amazement. It's the ancient Incan version of 'built to impress,' a place so breathtaking that even llamas take selfies. It has been part of my bucket list and I'm hoping that somehow sooner, my travel dart would land here so I would get to explore this beautiful and historical place!
Your vlog dovetailed with "Travel the World with Matt" (My son's vlog) about the exact location in the same week. I booked and planned to travel there in 1978 but never got there!! I was an airline staff member and used the rebated airfare to get there. All flights were fully booked with fare-paying pax at the time, so I did not make it. Thanks for your series on Machu Picchu.
I read a lot about the ancient Andes some time ago, I'd love to visit! Chan Chan and Tiwanaku (in Bolivia) would be my top picks.
You guys are awesome thanks for making this video.
You're welcome!
Just wanted to say, great video! About the jumping restrictions, it's interesting to note that they stem from past accidents when tourists would leap around for photos. The thing is, with all those terraces around-built by the Incas for farming and all-the risks were pretty serious. So, it's a balance between preserving the site's history and keeping everyone safe.
Eeeek yeah it does sound like some pretty nasty accidents over the years! Balance is everything though like you said ❤️
Hermoso mi Perú 🇵🇪
Una de las mejores maravillas del mundo 🤩
Great video! What # circuit did you take here at Machu Picchu? I'm deciding #1 or #2. Thanks in advance you two.
Peru wow. After watching jumping places, i knew have to do a 2 day hike to avoid the queue. And hiking allows people to go there twice instead of once.
Yup that's good intel!
Such magical place 😎
Stunning place for sure!
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

@DanegerAndStacey did GAdventures sponsor your tour?
The safest place to be in 2024. Get your residency easily while u can. Peru, Ecuador, Paraguay
Ecuador has been having issues. Any channels to recommend that go over getting residency in Peru? Couple of trips now, had fallen in love with the country
Pretty safe to travel in Peru right now?
It was for us! But being on a tour with G Adventures meant we never had to worry about where we should be or if it was safe
How was G Adventures? I was supposed to go with them but I had a cancer scare so I had to cancel.
They're amazing! Incredibly well organised tours, great guides and the G for Good stuff they know with communities is genuinely so heart warming ❤️
😊
What camera did you use to shoot this on?
Panasonic GH5 mark 2
Sivin, chick it out.rigulations,
Most of machu picchu was rebuilt in modern time, pretty sad, what you see its not how it was foundC they rebuilt everything 10:11
Do you think they kept most of the core structure though?
