When we went to Peru I also learned some Quechua. Had a very positive result when speaking to locals. They found my Spanish hilarious as we spoke with a Catalan accent!
Oh my goodness Neil, this is such an oldie 🙈 I wanted to remove it but it's been useful for many people so I kept it up. How incredible is Peru though? Fabulous country.
@@hannahgraceoutdoors we loved Peru.
A tip you did not give which may be specific to Peru or even Puno not to buy water from street hawkers. They collect used bottles and then refill the bottles from anywhere they can find water . They then use a couple of dots of glue to reseal the top so that it sounds and feels like opening a new bottle. I almost admire the thinking behind the trick.
I’m from Uruguay and to be honest North America looks dangerous for us.
great video! I especially like how you emphasise the importance of learning the language!! so many people don't bother, but I can't imagine the troubles I would have had travelling Chile and Bolivia alone if I couldn't speak a word of Spanish! it got me out of a lot of trouble! so glad you enjoyed your trip, I loved mine too; I made a video with all the highlights if you fancy giving it a watch :) happy travels!! x
Erin Kate Hannan thank you for the lovely comment! You're so right, learning the language is key, people don't understand how important it is! I will definitely watch your video :) safest of travels to you too xox
Great tips! Thanks very much for posting this video :)
Cen Blackwell I'm glad it was helpful for you! :)
Great video and you are so funny! Solo traveling this summer Colombia and Ecuador!
Aamazing!! Enjoy! i've heard Columbia is brilliant, I need to go!
When I did Ecuador with G adventures, I hung out with a group where some of my fellow travellers speak a bit of Spanish. In any event, if you are in a big group they want your business, so I figured they would most probably be a bit more understanding.
I am hoping to go back to South America with G adventures in 2019 if all goes well. I am hoping to do the Bolivia to Brazil tour where I get to see 5 to 6 countries in a long tour.
Good tips. Well said but sometime whatever you, not good enough!
I ❤️ SOUTH AMERICA!!!
Lots of great and useful info in this video. Thanks!
Also, this video was made before Google translate? Not saying that is a substitute for learning some Spanish, but probably beats carrying around a phrase book
Not before Google translate but I don't think I had a smart phone out there with me. In some places crime was high and it was advised to not carry expensive items on you.
South America has been the top of my bucket list for years! I have been looking into G Adventures tours, but am unsure which to chose! Which tour did you take?? And would you recommend it?!
E Barker for Sure! They were great. I done a 3 month tour, from Quito in Ecuador to Rio. Ultimate South America it was called, or something similar. Included the Inca trail hike too which was awesome. There are shorter trips but I imagine they’re all really good. The 3 month one people came and went who were on the shorter trips.
I'm so glad I found your channel
I've been dreaming of going to South America for a long time now
I'm hoping to go in summer 2018 but I'm not sure of how much everything would cost
Can you please make a video on how much it would cost to travel through South America? I'm hoping to go Peru Columbia and Brazil
And Ecuador if possible
ayan ali aw I'm pleased you liked it ! I will try and put something together, I'll have to think back to cost... and apologies for the late reply, I hadn't seen this :)
Nomad me too im thinking going for sunmer
I'm Brazilian
You won't be smiling when Argentina invades the falklands islands again
Thank you.
Great Video..Wow you look like Carey Mulligan..Cheers
cool!:)
Hi Hannah!!! I am glad you enjoyed your solo traveling time :) I am going to south America for a few months soon, all by myself, and I am a bit nervous! I was wondering what countries you visited and how you found it, as a girl, to travel by yourself, if you have any extra tips etc :)
Thankss!!!
Maria Trapiello hey! I’m so sorry, I’m a complete newbie and didn’t see your message. I just checked your channel and saw you went to SA 😊 hope you had an amazing time!
So... A Quebec -like climate? BRING IT ON!!! 😁😁😁
But seriously, it's been my dream since last year, and I give myself 5 years to do it!
i just love your accent
aprendamosjuntos ha ha ! Thank you :)
In order to take taxis it is important that you speak spanish because no taxi drivers speak english.
Or you can show them your destin on your smartphone.
Also foreigners are charged doble price for any ride in taxi. Hahaha.
I connected to the Venezuelans and the Colombians
Hey hi im going to south america for a month .. i justd dont kno how to start to get the flight i mean did u buy the flight separates to each country or do u kno a way to buy like package for the countries u wanna go.. any tips on dat thanks
Abraham Sanchez hey! If you want to be flexible buy them separately. I only took one internal flight, others were by coach 😊 Alternatively you could book a package deal where the tour is done for you? Saves stress. Up to you 😊
Hannah Grace is the like a website to buy adat package dst u kno and the couch u mean public couch?
I'm from u.k and thinking south america. Probably peru. Was thinking of booking with g adventures. Would you recommend them ?
I had no problems with them but It was reported recently that they didn't treat their porters well during the inca trail hike. I personally had no issues. Intrepid are another good company you could look into.
@@hannahgraceoutdoors thanks I will look it to it, do you have much free time or is it all abit rush rush
Saludos desde Perú!
neither trust hotel's depending on what hotel it is if is a international hotel yes you can but put it where the worker's don't see it when they enter your room the your paying on it to clean your room don't let the worker's see's it when they enter your room when your going any place meanwhile the hotel is sending they worker's to clean all the room's in the hotel and if your not on a international hotel worse neither leave it on the hotel we got stolen on a hotel off my country Colombia they came at night time and throw me a dust the put's me into sleep then the other day i forgot what happen and when we woke up they stole us not much but it was something
Hi Hannah, great video. Im planning a few week vacation in Equador, I am kind of a country boy and am not into cities. In your opinion will I be safe hiking around rural Equador by myself? If not ummm, you want to come with? jk But really kind of scared of getting killed or something. ;-)
jason nelson lol! I'd love to go back, Ecuador is beautiful and the scenery is amazing. I did do some hiking and the people were lovely. I'd say you should be fine from my experience! Only places I found not so safe were busy parts of Quito. Countryside was great though. Good luck!
Hannah Grace ok it's a date, clear your calendar for feb. Lol.
jason nelson i was in Ecuador for one year and to me never happened something bad. of course it depends where you are in Ecuador, but just take care of you and your things and think before you do something :)
I will do that, im getting my passport and paperwork in order. I will be traveling light and mobile, I plan on spending most of my time off the beaten path up in the high elevations but im sure I will check out the regular Tourist stuff. No set schedule,just going to see where the wind takes me for a few weeks.
jason nelson how was Ecuador?
For the vaccinations, should I get both yellow fever and the hepatitis A and B shots? I'm just curious which ones are required. Regardless, I will get the yellow fever and hepatitis A at least.
Hey :) So for me I believe it was only yellow fever. I did already have my Hep B though as I work in a hospital so I'm not sure if it was just an "advised" or actual requirement... I THINK its just yellow fever as this was the only document I had to carry with me but do check online or with a clinic to be sure x
You look like Uma Thurman
I get this a lot *shy face*
I don’t care how scary it is I’ll happily visit it.
You’ll clearly living in a bubble
