    THIS ADVENTURE MADE POSSIBLE BY: bit.ly/mountain... /// DAY 5 of our tour with Mountain Lodges of Peru from Cusco to Machu Picchu! We climbed Huayna Picchu to only find more clouds. In the end, we decided that the journey to Machu Picchu is just as magnificent, if not more, than Machu Picchu itself. It was a wonderfully wet day, and we are sad that this adventure is over!

    Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
    We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on CZcams, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown , and any other talented travel vloggers that CZcams’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

    I'm so happy I found your channel, I've been watching all you vlogs from the beginning for the last month or so and it's amazing to see all the places you get to see and experience. As someone with a disability I will never vistit these places, not in the way you do at least, so I'm so happy I get to see all these amazing places from your point of view! Thank you for all your hard work!

  • @davidkn
    @davidkn Před 3 lety +1

    I had the pleasure of seeing it like this, with the mist, fog and clouds, and in the sun, its equally beautiful in both, feels totally different in both too. Amazing place!

  • @michae8jackson378
    @michae8jackson378 Před 7 lety +4

    Totally agree w you guys about the day. You still got to experience the site, yes not greatest views but it's special, being there with your parents and video to confirm. Plus you guys always mingle with the locals and get the true vibe of a place that you are visiting. One of the things I admire most about you two, not afraid to try the local people and their cultures! Great stuff as always!

  • @benec5816
    @benec5816 Před 7 lety +13

    Well what can you say what an awesome 5 days everything was perrrrrfect. It was sad that you climbed all the way up the mountain only to be blinded by the weather but hey the orchids, the ruins the workmanship and all the buildings I really got the feeling from your post that Machu Picchu was as mystical through the fog and rain as what it must have been when first found. Thank you for taking us there as there is no way my heart and lungs would have got me there. It was tremendous that your parents got to experience this with the pair of you well done stay safe and thanks again :) :)

    Glad you were able to get at least a few minutes being able to see everything from above. I would have cried if I went and couldn't get the iconic picture looking down on it from above! So cool! Just amazing architecture, scenery, everything!

    You Still got to Visit Machu Picchu, so that's Awesome!!! To walk in the Ruins, Touch the Rocks, that is Enough. Sure, a Picturesque Photo would be Nice, but it's the Experience of being there, IN THAT PLACE.

  • @FireCracker3240
    @FireCracker3240 Před 6 lety +2

    While it's sad that the weather didn't cooperate so you couldn't see it in all its glory, you were actually THERE, among the ruins! I can tell how special and beautiful it is. The stone work the Incas laid is just an astonishing feat of engineering. It's breathtaking, really, but so sad that they did not have a language, so no records of how the accomplished all of these wonderful things. You can imagine every engineer and architect would love to find a way to replicate that.

  • @mlabes4564
    @mlabes4564 Před 2 lety +1

    This is the second time for me going back through and binge-watching these videos again. I have fallen in love with you two and love the videos of just you two but it is so much fun when you have other people join you as well. I really enjoy Nate's parents in these and it comes later in the video series with I believe Kara's father in Vietnam is so cool! And I always love Nate's sister and her husband Baron (I hope I spelled his name correctly.) Obviously, I enjoy them enough to watch them over again! I love that Nate's parents are so active! They are likely my age (or maybe even younger) but it is encouraging to me!

  • @etchalaco9971
    @etchalaco9971 Před 6 lety

    it's still awesome in its own mysterious way. The fog gives it a mystic atmosphere and makes this video a unique perspective of what the Inca royalty must have experienced when it rained in their majestic palace in the clouds.

    @8MJD Před 6 lety +1

    I had sort of the same luck as you guys when I went to Machu Picchu. I was with my parents and grandma there, because it was a bucket list item of my grandpa(who died 10 years before we went there) and she wanted to do it for him. So we all got there at around 5 am(!!!) because we absolutely wanted to see the sun rise above the city, but sadly it was so cloudy we couldn't see a thing. We decided to stick around and just explore everything really slowly and just enjoy being there and luckily, at the end, the sun was shining and the skies were so blue! It was a really cool day and Peru is one of my favorite countries. The best thing is, it doesn't matter how the weather is like there, it still is just as awesome and magical either way.
    So to wrap this up, please keep doing these amazing videos! You are really awesome and motivate me to explore what the earth has to offer and just be open to new experiences.

    They DID have a written language, though not in writing as we know it. They kept records in strings of knots--different kinds and combinations of knots, different color threads, etc. Last I recall they'd only deiphered the numerical records in it, but there's much more waiting to be untangled, so to speak.

    Sorry you didn't see much from Waynapicchu. We climbed it back in 2008 but left on the first bus up from Aguacalientes at I believe 4.10am and went straight to the entrance and had to wait awhile before they opened. But it was amazing sitting at the top on the big rock. After we did the tour of Machu Picchu. Looking to see if you are off to Lake Titicaca next like we did on a posh train from Cusco to Puno! Only another approx. 380 videos to catch up! Mount Everest Base Camp Videos are still right up there amongst our favourites.

    Machu Picchu sounds like the name of a mythical monster and i thought that was exactly what you saw but it was only a shadow so you couldnt be sure
