I'm from Burkina Faso, studying in Turkey, and I'm very happy to see you showing the real Burkina Faso... I invited everybody around the world to go visit my lovely country and don't only content on what the media show you... because media focus only on negative side... Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video...😍😍
Zakaria Sawadogo yes Burkina has been portrayed with very negative press lately. Our experience was excellent. The people are very kind and the country is beautiful.

Tanks you to Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso is such an amazing place. We had a great time exploring your country.
My husband and I will visit his mother there very soon.
I hope you enjoy your visit!
Well done Sir for your vlog. Greetings from Sudan
Noureldin Abdulwahid, thanks for watching. How are things in Sudan? We are considering an overland vehicle journey through Africa in the future. Last April we were very close to Sudan at Abu Simbel in southern Egypt.
I enjoyed watching this. :)
Kristina Washington, thanks for watching. Burkina has been portrayed quite negatively by the media lately, but we had a really nice visit...
new subscriber here , just awsome :)
There are many countries you can visit in Africa... Some countries probably should not be visited because of stability issues, but Africa is getting much better then the 80s-90s. The main problem now is over population in some of their cities. But you get the same feeling while traveling to India or Bangladesh also. Countries that are fairly safe to visit are Namibia, Morocco, Senegal, Ghana, Egypt, Algeria, Nigeria (stay in the major cities), South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe (despite the problems), Angola, Ethiopia.... and many capital cities. Burkina Faso is not really a tourist destination and the tourist infrastructure is limited.
Wow guys your channel is amazing, I don't understand why there are no comments. I know you will come to Peru soon I hope you spend a great vacations in here, any recomendations for your vist here, just let me know. Great video editions.
Hugo Tom thanks for your kind words. I'm assuming you live in Peru? We would love some suggestions if you're offering.
Yes thats right, I live in Lima, Peru, my country is wonderful and your family and you will be recieved in friendly way every place you visit.
Possibly you will need to make a parade in Lima before travel to Cuzco, if you have time explore a bit Lima. TIP: Use a taxi company if you plan to leave from airport to visit Lima for a while. The better thing to realize once you are here is that many thing to buy are CHEAP, so becareful.. why? well its easy, you will probably would love to buy many things :D.
Lima: is located at the coast, If you plan to visit Lima there is a special day to do it. Every last weekend of the month all the museums in Lima and cathedral are free to visit, in some ocassions there is tour guide just for 1 dollar per person kids don't pay, but be sure theres available a english speaker guide, at afternoon to night there is a peruvian concert showing a varity of music and dances from our country in ''La Plaza Mayor''.
Many districts in Lima are fun to know like ''Pentagonito'', ''Parque Kennedy'' ''Larcomar'' or ''El Olivar'' but depending on your visit here could be long so I will recommend don't leave Lima without visit ''El Parque de la Reserva'', is one of the bigest water circuits in South America and is wonderful overall at nignts.
Ica: is also located at the coast, Is at the south of Lima and there are located the famous Lines of Nazca are impresionant big figures on the ground made by ancient incas no body can truly explain how they did those images, some people believe were alens also you can visit Huacachina Oasis is really awesome but could be a bit expensive lately.
The musseum of paracas is highly visited recently, because in Ica has been discovered a mummy that looks kind of alien so lately are a lot of tourism there.
Cusco: is located at the mountain range. Obviously most people come to visit Machu Picchu in Cuzco. Is the most important cultural city. Because is at high altitude they will probably will recommend you to ''chacchar coca'' like chew coca plant to avoid mountain sickness. But if you have already been in place with high altitude you will be ok.
In Cuzco you have to be careful because the whole province is considered world heritage by UNESCO.
Once there its important travel to Sacsayhuaman, Ollaytantambo, Pisaq and then Machu Picchu.
Arequipa: located at the coast but also sharing mountain range, Is the second most important political city and the second more developed in Peru. It has Misti Volcan which is impressive , the Valley of Colca and ''La Mansion del Fundador''.
Loreto: Iquitos is the jungle zone of Peru, so you will find many different animals you can visit ''Pilpintuwasi Butterfly Farm'', ''La Isla De Los Monos'', ''Centro de Rescate Amazonico'', ''Amazonas River'' and ''Tapiche Reserve''. I must say that the people from this place is the happier once and the healthiest because their natural medicine they have.
Cuzco is kind of expensive lately, backpackers could find better prices. About visits to Machu Picchu you must have mosquito repellent and at least for your kids long-sleeved blouses because sometimes mosquitos can be hard to manage in some seasons. But Cuzco surely worth it.
Then any other province is cheaper than Lima.
Guess in Lima only in ''Mercado Central'' ( full stuff) ''Quilca'' (books), ''Camana'' (antiques, LPs), ''CC Wilson'' (computer, techs) and ''Gamarra'' (clothe) are the cheaper places you will find anything. These are not that cultural are just places to find whatever you need.
Your visit can't end if you haven't eat our best food:
Fish: Ceviche with Leche de Tigre / Tiradito / Chupe de Camarones
Birds: Aji de Gallina / Pollo en Salsa Huacatay / Seco de Pollo
Meat: Lomo Saltado / Cabrito a la Norteña / Adobo de Cerdo
Rice: Arroz Chaufa / Arroz con Pollo / Arroz con Pato
Pastas: Fideos Verdes / Tallarines Saltados / FIdeos a la Huancaina
Vegetables: Causa Rellena / Papa a la Huancaina / Pachamanca
Stuffed: Papa Rellena / Rocoto Relleno / Tamal de Pollo
Juices: Chicha Morada / Maracuya juice / Lucuma Juice and a cola from here: Inka Kola.
Typical Sweets:
Suspiro a la Limeña / Arroz con leche / Mazamorra Morada/ Turrón de Doña Pepa / Picarones / Ranfañote / Frejol Colado / King Kong / Leche Asada / Arroz Zambito / Chanpu de Guanabana.
Not for kids drinks: Pisco Quebranta, Pisco Sour, Cusqueña Beer, Queirolo Wine, Chicha de Jora.
You will find also cheap places to eat since 2$, 5$ or 10$.

Hugo Tom, sorry for the late reply. Thank you for all your recommendations, they were really helpful. We had a great visit in Peru. Here's a short list of what we ended up doing:
-Cusco
-Train to Aguas Calientes
-2 nights in Aguas Calientes
-Maccu Picchu
-Inca Avalanche Trail mountain biking outside Ollantaytambo
-Puno
-2 nights at a floating village on Lake Titicaca
-Lima
-Kennedy Park
-Ate at: Central (very expensive), Astrid y Gaston (very expensive), Al Toke Pez (very inexpensive... $10 or less for the entire family), Bao (inexpensive)
-We visited Lima's slums for a day, this was an incredibly eye opening and enriching experience.
Anyhow, thanks for your help.
Is the country stable now
Not really. There was a shooting in a cafe in Ouagadougou a couple months ago.
Isn't Burkina Faso extremely dangerous for tourists especially westerners at the moment?
No not at all people are very friendly not dangerous if anything it’s foreigners that make any country dangerous
@@cherryblossom7824 Well, the news reports almost every day about terrorist attacks and clashes between burkinabe army and islamist terrorists. Also western tourists have been kidnapped and murdered there. So I think I stay away from Burkina Faso at least for now.
MainstreamPoPsucks3, It definitely has gotten more dangerous over the past years. I would hesitate to visit BF nowadays...
@@WhereistheWorld I think I stay away from there as long as terrorists are rampaging through the country and the security situation is becoming more precarious.
MainstreamPoPsucks3 they only get to certain places, it’s not everywhere
Were yall not concerned against the travel advisories against islamic terrorism in that region?
G
Yeah give pay some reparations so that Black people can get this experience
That is not going to happen. If you want to experience life, you have to find your own way. It is not the governments job to send you on vacation!
That Water Looks VERY Dirty That They're Swimming In At The End 🙄😟😬
