things don't change in any 3rd world country. I had a robber block me in on an Ecuadorian bus. Had to shove the guy to side cuz I had a feeling he was gonna try to do something. His partner was looking into another woman's bag. Long behold one of those guys stole a woman's chain. this was 30 yrs. ago

Which tour company did you book through ?

La verda q hay seres humanos q asen quedar mal a un país hermoso Mil disculpas por ellos , Saludos desde Ecuador ❤️

I don't know how to ask this except to just ask it: How do you afford to travel around the world like you're doing? Do your YT posts cover your costs or do you have other jobs or what? I would love to do what you're doing but don't know how you afford it.

@joshandjace

Did you stay in cusco a few days before the hike to acclimate to altitude? Im doing the same hike next month and we are staying two days in cusco before the big hike

I am from Ecuador , this is frustrating and disappointing , that is why I don’t go too often , people seems very friendly but sometimes they are working with the thieves , my kids don’t speak Spanish , and people are always looking at us !! This is too sad but this why I rather go somewhere else.

Interesting story. Thanks for sharing. The only thing I notice that could be improved, in future videos, is the way the man speaks, he sounds like a high schooler (like a teenager) in his choice of expresions. Actually the girl sounds and portraits herself more mature

#6. Don't imagine that another person's smile means what it means when it's on a familiar face. Even someone you have helped many times may have been planning to steal from you. The smile may be a way of gauging how vulnerable and trusting you are. Happens.

Beware - EC is a third world country again. It's no longer really an "emerging" economy country, due to COVID. Unemployment is very bad. There is no real safety net.

Wow, great video! On september i'll be turn to go there! Can i ask you something? What do you bring inside your backpack? And where you left all your belongs that doesn't fit on the bag? Thxxx

I got robbed in Thailand and Costa Rica I love it 😂

Tysm for this! Helped alot

Keep doing what your doing. We’ve been binge watching from Delaware and are enjoying your adventures.

For the rest in your trip in South America here’s a tip. Don’t trust anyone. Not even the friendly people or kids. If you let your guard down just 1 second this will happen again. You can’t trust anyone and you have to always check everything. It is a sad way to look at people but it is necessary.

fantastic trek

Oh nooo! Im from Ecuador and i feel frustrated. Many hugs for you and I hope you are doing well. I hope you enjoyed the trip and don't have bad memories of Ecuador. Saludos. Deseandoles que se encuentren bien. ❤❤❤

Great video! We are doing the trek in a few weeks - how much did you tip? And how did you how how to breakup the tips between the guide, chefs, etc.?

Appreciate all the work you put into the video - great stuff

I recently moved to Ecuador. So sorry this happened to you, but theft here is a bit concerning. Glad that you did not let this experience steal your joy. Can't wait to see your Machu Picchu video!

Yes. Unfortunately..this incident has happened in some incident..sorry what happened please stay safe w purse or money. ,🇪🇨

Sry, but don't leave your stuff alone, ever... Hard to feel sry for you when you did it to yourself.

Glad you guys are safe. First world problems traveling with so much equipment. Travel light and be ready to lose anything you travel with when world traveling.

I live in Ecuador, and, regrettably, your experience isn't unique. Thank you for taking the time to post this -- it may do some of us expats some good when it comes to safeguarding our valuables on public transportation.

Hey guys, I'm from Ecuador. Sorry to hear this happened to you, the truth is you can't trust the police in my country and there's a pretty big chance that the police man that went into the bus before you made a deal with the thiefs. I'd even go as far as to say that it's very common to see entire families of criminals that have a police man in the family who helps them get away with this kind of stuff, specially in those really small towns where everyone knows each other. The best thing you can do to in this type of situation is to simply not let your stuff out of your sight even for a second and do not trust the police as they are quite literally, useless.

This lack of security and institutionality... after a traitorous president called Lenin Moreno who destroyed all the ministries that had us as the 3 safest country, all of Correa's good work was destroyed. Lenin, lasso and the current one, are the same and bring misery to our people.

Thank you for sharing this video! I’ll be going to crater lake next Month and I’m super excited for the hiking there :)

The cop ended up with your camera.

Hey! What is the best time of the day to go for a helicopter tour?

Very well explained - especially all the emotions that go with this experience. I just had a backpack with cash/valuables stolen from almost right in front of me and I didn’t even see it so I completely identify. What I also learned from you is Occam’s Razor likely applies…ie the simplest explanation…in your case the bus driver’s assistant …in my case I believe it was an individual very near where I was sitting who I normally would not suspect because of the way he looked. My loss by theft occurred here in Atlanta…but I just returned from a wonderful trip to Ecuador myself lol. What a coincidence. It is such a beautiful country and thankfully I didn’t have any security issues. Anyways keep up the good work. I’m subbing.

Sry to hear 😢 just wondering how could it happen if you were watching your bags? Did u guys fall asleep and were the bags locked?

Sorry this happened to you guys. Next time take a taxi to places please. Those cops are known to help their own people for bribes. I’m Ecuadorian myself. I’ll try to make a vlog for you guys to see.

but with the gear you cant fall

Never travel without your bag between your knees on the bus. If they try and get you to put it somewhere else just refuse. It looks like that cop that got on the bus before y'all searched it got his little bribe from the driver and then they all were on the same page by the time you all got on the bus to search, in my opinion.

yeah, when we traveled in no mans land in northern ecuador we only bought our cellphone and small bill cash on those buses. no issues. Only issue was a greedy unofficial taxi guy. wanted .50 cents more than agreed for a two minute trip. I gave him 15 cents more and walked away:). U guys already thought of an airtag so your good

What camera do you use? It’s amazing!

Great video! Thanks for showing some of the views. Could I ask which day this was?

Im sorry guys thats this happened to you!

Hello on Todays Adventure you Oke Anton Madura Indonesia bro; So In' your Oke ball ya So' How are you' I'm your from 🙂😍🤝✌️👍💞🌟🌎🇮🇩

Great video. Would you recommend doors off or door on or it doesnt matter? P.S. Not afraid of heights

It's probably too late for you guys, but check your credit card benefits. A good credit card will offer a reimbursement for items purchased within a year that are either stolen or broken during that time period. You need your receipts and a police report.

I’m so proud of you both 🖤🖤🖤🖤 y’all were cracking me up the whole time lol!

Fun Fact, Mario isnt saying "It's-a-me, Mario" he says "Itsumi Mario" which is japanese and means "Super Mario"

Wonderful, informative video. U guys look great. Which agency did u book your jeep & experiences from?

amazing woman you have there, funny, kind, beautiful and full of adventure, keeper

This is at least from 2023, this year the TT was counter clockwise. Anyway, for all the people ho see this video, don't under estimate this kind of trips, you can hurt yourself, and this is not even more a real trail event, it's just some gravel roads around tuscany!

Amazing video!!. I will definitely be using this video to convince my partner to go on a bike packing trip with me. I have not been successful so far but fingers crossed. The drone shots are really breathtaking and the commentary was really fun. Looking forward to more content!!

😢 I’m so sorry you had such a bad experience in my country 😢 Make sure to always get advice from locals of trust about where not to’s what not to’s and how not to’s. This breaks my heart 💔

Thanks for the honest reviews. Which month did you guys visit Ubud?
