Hi! Quite new to your community but loving the videos and dreaming of my own Van and my own Occy one day in the future! Max is right about the mountain colors, its all due to the minerals within the sediment making up the mountain that it has such a unique coloring. The Andes formed due to a tectonic activity so its environmental conditions were completely unique during formation providing it the rare minerals, iron oxide rust (red), iron sulfide (yellow and orange), chlorite (turquoises and greens). The Geology Hub Blog has some more info about them for anyone interested :-) geologyhubblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/22/the-rainbow-mountain-of-peru/ P.S. I'm not a science nerd, just a Geography teacher with an interest in Geology! :-P
I'm loving the Patreon early access to your videos! Also, Peru is such a gorgeous country. The cow mouth at the market was.......interesting. I love seeing markets in different countries as it teaches a lot about different cultures. Thank you so much for another amazing video!!!
Stoked to hear it Mel!! And right?? I wonder if there would be so many people eating meat in the Western world if that was how it was presented? 🤔 Our pleasure and thank you again for all of your support! 🙏🏼❤️
LOL. I would say if you went to Mongolia you be shocked about how food is presented. I have seen alot of horrible stuff. But I still eat meat. I enjoy it. But alot of people have squeamish stomachs so can't blame them. To each their own. It's like if people only knew what Cheese and yogurt really was. Anyhow love you guys keep up the good work. My dogs love watching Occy. Its amusing.
@@SimonElenor I would love to go to a Mongolian market! I've seen many around the world and they really are an interesting look into different societies and cultures around the world. One of my favorite markets was in Hong Kong. 😄
Another wonderful video of your amazing travels in the van with beautiful Occy. Yes it is truly a stunning part of South America. The memories of my time thirty years ago travelling in my 1969 VW campervan come flooding back. I washed myself in every stream that I came across in those days. I also did not know about geology back then but certainly studied it upon my return to Australia and I would highly recommend that you find out if there is something on your audible podcast about geology in particular South American geology because you will appreciate so much more the magnificence of South America. I wanted to travel in my campervan all my life because the freedom of life experiences is THE most wonderful attribute to such travel. The person(s) who stole my uninsured van in Seville Spain destroyed my dream! And moving on was difficult to readjust to normal life as even you both will find eventually when you need to readjust back to normality after your travels. So enjoy every adventure every day while you can. And may good fortune stay with you and Occy.
The different colouration is due to different environmental conditions and mineralogy when the sediment was originally deposited and subsequently diagenetically altered. Red colouration of sedimentary layers often indicates iron oxide rust as a trace mineral. Introduction of goethite or oxidized limonite will introduce brownish colouration to sandstones. The bright yellow colouration could be due to iron sulphide as trace minerals. The varying shades of green colour depend on chlorite in different diagenetic states and concentrations
Amazing video. Those mountains are spectacular but a visible reminder of global warm so I completely understand the mixed emotions. This video in particular you both had so much joy in the experience I could feel it almost coming out of the tv.....I love to see people enjoying the moments of life. And Occy....well, he’s just a beautiful soul full of love and living in his moment all the time. Travel on with love and much peace
You guys are killing it latley! Your cinematics have been awsome, and editing and flow look so professional. Keep it up, this is my favorite travel channel!
Another awesome adventure. I look forward to your videos every Sunday!! The scenery is absolutely beautiful and Occy looked like he was having a blast. You all look so happy. Have a safe and pawsome week. Love from Daisey and Jan.
It's my 3 fave Vanlifers. Max, Lee, and Occy :) I was just at the vet with my kitty getting her vaccinations updated and there was a flea prevention ad on the wall that immediately brought Occy to mind. I really miss having a dog in my life (not that I don't love my kitty very much) and love watching your wonderful adventures as I dream of getting a van and traveling. My mom loves alpacas so now Peru is on the list for taking her on an adventure sometime in the future.
Aww thanks Cass ❤️ Keep that kitty healthy! We are happy for Occy to be your virtual dog for now to fill the void 🤗Peru is definitely a worthy addition to the list!!
Occy is the luckiest doggie to have parents like yourself. Love the video thank you for sharing and the van sounds like a great idea. Is great that you are both adventurous.
it is amazing to know, that Peruvians are more open to this way of tourism, I gather you don't have many problems with authorities parking here and there. Stay safe, I am enjoying your videos.
good to see u guys again I don't really like to miss any videos from your channel as it helps me to watch wonderful places as well as beautiful places on earth..I really loved the video...thanks max and Lee and please say hi to occy.....🐕
Another Great vlog The Difference in colour on rainbow mountain is due to mineral layers iron oxide (rust) owning a sprinter you know about that :) the goethite oxidised Limonite/sandstone will introduce brown and Bright yellow due to iron sulfide chlorite will often give shades of Green in other words it’s a diverse deposit of different sandstone with a mixture of different ions 🤓🤓🤙
Absolutely stunning guys as usual, keep doing what your doing, make my Sunday’s before work so much more enjoyable! Much love from across the pond ❤️❤️👍🏻
Hey guys, do you think window vans is safe to travel the way you do and park anywhere without overlooking while you head off elsewhere, any particular reason you choose panel van?
Your comment was cause for a pause.I am glad you mentioned Global Warming as it it’s things into perspective. Lets hope we still have time left to enjoy our beautiful Planet. You guys make it so much more fun. Peace
HELLO COOL VIDEOS Y YOU GUYS HAVE A CHANCE YOU CAN VISIT THE MAGIC PLACE CALL LARAOS YAUYOS IS LIKE 6 HOURS FROM LIMA I WAS THERE A YEAR AGO GOOD LUCK IN PERU
Just came across your video’s after hearing of the passing of Lee. I was in Peru in April 2019. Machu Picchu was amazing. I also saw the painted mountain, just a spectacular trip. So sad to see this beautiful soul leave this earth!! HOW DIFFICULT it must be for All those she has touched! My condolences. Rest in peace beautiful Lee! 🙏😘
The colors have formed because of ice that used to cover the area. When it started to melt, the water mixed with minerals in the ground, turning the earth into the many colors. Red areas are due to rust mixtures, yellows are due to iron sulfide, purples are from goethite or oxidized limonite, and the greens come from chlorite.
I always love Max and Lee + occy .. I am your solid fan ... I always support you three ... I always watch ads on your videos guys ... Have a nice day 😍😍😍
@@MaxLeeandOccyI do that because I like you guys You always making my Sunday happy ... When I see your first uploaded video I watch it and subscribe on your channel
Wow, wow, wow... them views are awesome! lama crossings❤.. Great vid as always folks, Peru looks amazing... Thanks for Sharing❤ We made it to Arctic Norway! Whoop,whoop!❤❤
Oh Max. I am not sure you will read this as it is 3 years past when you posted it. I have only recently found you guys but have been a huge fan of Kingin It and Bec/Eamon. Through them I learned of what happened to Lee. I must say I feel the loss of the opportunity to meet such an amazing spirit deeply. I have watched many videos of the two of you ...many more yet to see...but in this one, seeing her joy through it all but especially towards the end...my heart is broken. I can see in her eyes how her heart was overflowing with love for you and her life. I thank God that you have these memories and pics/videos to remind you of the good times. Know you are treasured. God Bless you.
Happy to be able to see Peru through you both ! My grandfather is from there and hopefully one day I can explore the beautiful country as well ☀️ thanks for the amazing video !
Many are saying it, but I came to say that your guys' videoing/editing skills are incredible! I enjoy following you guys so much anyway, but your talent for capturing it all is shining extra bright lately!
Yes is full of minerals and guess what ? It was already guve to a company for a Mine and the whole country complain well the canadian company resign the contract and said they wouldnt do that harm so niceee people doing that so is SAVE
Hey Max, Lee and Occy, I have been kind of puzzled since you've been in Peru, and now maybe I know why. I spent a few months in 1994 and 1995/96 hiking through South America's jungles with 2 jungle guides. I wrote about this previously in a few comments. So, since you've been in Peru I have been wondering where exactly you were because everywhere you've shown is like a desert. I don't remember any parts of Peru being like that. Everywhere was lush green everywhere!!! I've heard of the Rainbow Hills in recent years, and thought to myself that I never heard of them until about 3 or 4 years ago. Lee, your comment about the Rainbow Hills being only a recent attraction because the hills used to be under glaciers......... BOOM.......it hit me. Those rolling Green Hills of Jungle Forests....they are now deserts??????????? If this is true.......that would be like a dull dagger to my heart. One of my most amazing visual memories was walking out of the jungle into the rolling hills of lush jungle forest, with the Machu Piccu white limestone structures on the hills in a valley, glaring in the sun like they were the sun itself. That area, for days, was where I had some very amazing spiritual awakenings, not in a religious way, but in a personal way. It was in the Jungles leading to Machu Piccu, and if that is gone...... damn, what a truly sad loss it would be. I feel heartbroken thinking that may be why none of what you have shown in videos of Peru so far seem familiar to me. It was Peru and Argentina that I spent most of the time hiking when I was there both times, Chile was probably the other place I spent the most time in other than Peru and Argentina. If my fears are true.....and that jungle forest is gone........not to sound like an alarmist, but if those jungles are gone, then the planet really is not in a good situation. And it would be so sad because of the Diversity of animals and plants that were there would now be gone forever. I truly hope that's not so. And I hope you get to Machu Piccu, to the rolling hills of Lush Green Jungle Forest (Rain Forest). It's a truly beautiful place that neither pictures or videos could ever capture the beauty of what it is. I also hope if you do trek where I have, that you show some video of it so I can see it and know that it's not gone. Thanks for your travels and helping me relive one of the best parts of my life by being in some of the same places I have been on my hiking through South America.
Matt, as someone who has lived in Peru for a few years, you can rest assured that there is much of the country still covered in Rainforest both mountain and basin. Many people come to Peru and only visit the mountains or the jungle area, but there has always been many desert areas as well.... Mostly a bit inland from the Pacific Ocean before you reach the mountains. You can see this in places like Huacachina and Paracas, but there are many more places as well. The Nazca lines are a good example and if they weren't in the deserts we wouldn't have been able to find them. I don't intend to minimize the risks that logging are presenting the country. The Amazon region is being cut at alarming rates and the effect that would have is global.
@@BrettBodkinsPhotography WHewwww, Thanks Brett, That's a great relief to know! I guess I never saw any desert when I was there, most likely because I was hiking through Rainforest Jungle, not sand dunes. I didn't even see sand.
@@comedianmattrossey Yes, I live in Pucallpa, the first port city on the way into the Amazon. There's alot of jungle, but definitely it's threatened... Not as badly as the glaciers though...
I visited Peru last September and loved it. I'm so jealous that y'all have so much time to go and see so many things. Watching your videos definitely make me want to go back and explore some more. I don't know if you're planning to go near Lima. If you do, you should definitely visit Barranco. My kids and I spent some time there and just loved the cool artist vibe. Great bars and restaurants too.
Glad the van is fixed max, peace of mind for the rest of your yourney. That hike looked insanly far 😉 Occy get the doggy cam sorted ❤️❤️ have a great week guys and keep up those grreat videos
When Max said they saw something that would put you off meat for life. Three years ago I was in a meat market in Greece and it churned my stomach so bad that I went vegetarian
I love your Sunday morning videos. I wake up and grab my iPad and get to travel with you. Thanks for another beautiful adventure. You three are just awesome!!
The reason we see the rainbow coloration in the stratigraphic layers of the Ausangate mountain is largely due to weathering and mineralogy. Red coloration of sedimentary layers often indicates iron oxide rust as a trace mineral. Similar to how a nail will rust and turn red when oxidized, sediments that are iron rich will change when exposed to oxygen and water. This, in combination with uplift and tectonically driven crustal shortening has tilted the sedimentary layers on their side exposing stripped stratigraphic intervals. The different coloration is due to different environmental conditions and mineralogy when the sediment was originally deposited and subsequently diagenetically altered. Introduction of goethite or oxidized limonite will introduce a brownish coloration to sandstones. The bright yellow coloration could be due to iron sulphide as trace minerals within the pore cement. In addition, chlorite will often color sediments varying shades of green dependent on diagenetic history and concentration.
Hi Lee and Max, thanks again for taking me along to Peru. I love how you calculated your arrival for your hike and your camping stop along the River. My cousin is in Peru with her daughter and I see her photos on FB. They went some of the same places as you all, but there were always crowds around. Another pro for van travels. Other highlights were the opening shots, village views, the colors of Peru, sweet Occy and how tuned in he was to his surroundings and the Occycam. Be well and travel safely.
Hey Kathi! Our pleasure, it's been great to have you along!! And yep, definitely a perk of van life is avoiding all the crowds. We figure we went the harder route to get there so deserve some solitude every now and then 😉Peru was so full of culture and amazing views!
Afternoon Max, Lee and Occy. Wow Rainbow mountain is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure with us. Loving Occy cam and the drone shots. Stay safe guys. I dunno if I’ve asked this before but have you guys got any plans to travel Europe? Eamon and Bec are currently here in the UK and I would love to meet you guys and give Occy a cwtch. Stay safe guys and I’ll look forward to next Sunday’s vlog. ❤️xx
@@MaxLeeandOccy hope you could add this to your itinerary. In Punta Coles National Reserve, there are hundreds of sealyons + pinguins + thousands of birds . The scenery is surreal. The best way to arrive there is from ILO, ruclips.net/video/j1bmMWnJzh4/видео.html
Layers of shale, the geologic term for mud that was deposited in a bay or low energy environment where the mud was able to accumulate at different times and with different minerals which created the variegated color layers. What got them up here to 13,000 feet? Plate tectonics, which pushed the rocks up at an angle. We are seeing the rock formations at an angle, kinda like looking at a slice of layered cake that tipped over.
Another beautiful, chill, educational travel video... My ‘have to watch’ RUclips channel. Nearing 400,000 subscribers-well-deserved, with many more to come! Happy to be a Patreon of Max & Lee + Occy! :-) ,
hi guys is local veg organic? all Mum's are the best that's for sure mine was my rock ...mountain colours beautiful just a shame it was uncovered by global warming nice vlog guys love and peace from Bulgaria Glyn & Desi
A 19 minute video felt like 7minutes ...I love love love watching you guys. Wholesome, natural, sweet, adventurous, inspiring and just overall great content/edits. Occy cam for the win 😂
Hey guys! I hope your adventures are going nice and steady; you feed us every Sunday with more and more places to add in to the bucket list! There are many archaeological sites to go in Peru, any on your list for the upcoming videos? It would be great to see all those markets in depth along with the local variety of veggies, could be a great addition to the cuisine and channel ^^ Have a great day guys! Regards from Scotland!
The Occy-cam is a great idea! So lucky to have all the mountain for yourself. By the way, next week is 28 de Julio "Fiestas Patrias", we celebrate our independence day. It's going to get loud, people celebrating, fireworks, etc.
Audiobook recommendation: Vertical Run by Joseph Garber Fantastic reader with great character voices (you won't believe his range) by the famous actor, Stephen Lang (he was the bad guy on James Cameron's "Avatar"). If you enjoyed the movie Die Hard, you will love this book! Here is the plot, nice and short. "You wake up one morning and everyone you know is trying to kill you." We love our audiobooks, but this one is so good, that we have listened to it probably 10 times now. Fast-paced, intriguing, and poetic at times. No one we have recommended this to has ever said a negative word about this audiobook. Let us know what you thought, please! www.amazon.com/Vertical-Run-A-Novel/dp/B00005455M/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?keywords=vertical+run+audiobook&qid=1563934411&s=lawn-garden&sr=8-1-fkmr2
Guys. I strongly recommend the lesser-travelled northern route to Kuélap, the 'other Machu Piccu' via Chachapoyas . From there you can drive down to Trapoto (of the famous Harry Potter quidditch team) and on to the Amazon and Yurimaguas on the river. From there, there is marvellous 3 day freight-boat trip to Iquitos. From there you could fly back to collect the van or take a high-speed boat back to Yurimaguas. Great footage of the Andes and the river trip to be got and largely gringo-free.
Two books I just read both are on the power of positivity (Cant Hurt Me) and (Power of Now) the first book is based on a true story and knocked my socks off and the second book was amazing as well.
You guys are an amazing couple! Every video of you that I see, more I want to see. Fantastic locations these mountains of Peru. You they going to come to Brazil, too? Congrats on the beautiful travels, and the videos. I hug you all, and this incredible dog.
mickymidnight1 hmm... You got me thinking and I really wasn't sure of the answer ... So, I went looking and I found this and thought you might find it interesting too 😊 www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/is-your-loving-kind-fluffy-dog-friend-a-carnivore-or-an-omnivore/

Stoked to hear it Mel!! And right?? I wonder if there would be so many people eating meat in the Western world if that was how it was presented? 🤔
Our pleasure and thank you again for all of your support! 🙏🏼❤️

My dogs love watching Occy. Its amusing.
@@SimonElenor I would love to go to a Mongolian market! I've seen many around the world and they really are an interesting look into different societies and cultures around the world. One of my favorite markets was in Hong Kong. 😄
@@MelaniePhoenix The spices especially in an Arabic country is one of my most favorite experiences. The smell is out of this world.
@@SimonElenor OMG I bet! 😍 I can't wait to experience this with my own senses.
Wow what a amazing shot of the van repair shop. Looks like your not the only one with van trouble. Just how many where there broke down.
Another wonderful video of your amazing travels in the van with beautiful Occy. Yes it is truly a stunning part of South America. The memories of my time thirty years ago travelling in my 1969 VW campervan come flooding back. I washed myself in every stream that I came across in those days. I also did not know about geology back then but certainly studied it upon my return to Australia and I would highly recommend that you find out if there is something on your audible podcast about geology in particular South American geology because you will appreciate so much more the magnificence of South America. I wanted to travel in my campervan all my life because the freedom of life experiences is THE most wonderful attribute to such travel. The person(s) who stole my uninsured van in Seville Spain destroyed my dream! And moving on was difficult to readjust to normal life as even you both will find eventually when you need to readjust back to normality after your travels. So enjoy every adventure every day while you can. And may good fortune stay with you and Occy.
Killer video as always! Your editing and camera work is on fire (that includes Occy). Love the Friday afternoon videos!
Thank you!!! And glad you enjoyed the early access 😉
Awesome bro.U never let us down by your videos.Its always inspiring and love to see your videos.Keep up your works..Proud of you both..

It was in the Jungles leading to Machu Piccu, and if that is gone...... damn, what a truly sad loss it would be. I feel heartbroken thinking that may be why none of what you have shown in videos of Peru so far seem familiar to me. It was Peru and Argentina that I spent most of the time hiking when I was there both times, Chile was probably the other place I spent the most time in other than Peru and Argentina.
If my fears are true.....and that jungle forest is gone........not to sound like an alarmist, but if those jungles are gone, then the planet really is not in a good situation. And it would be so sad because of the Diversity of animals and plants that were there would now be gone forever. I truly hope that's not so. And I hope you get to Machu Piccu, to the rolling hills of Lush Green Jungle Forest (Rain Forest). It's a truly beautiful place that neither pictures or videos could ever capture the beauty of what it is. I also hope if you do trek where I have, that you show some video of it so I can see it and know that it's not gone.
Thanks for your travels and helping me relive one of the best parts of my life by being in some of the same places I have been on my hiking through South America.
Matt, as someone who has lived in Peru for a few years, you can rest assured that there is much of the country still covered in Rainforest both mountain and basin. Many people come to Peru and only visit the mountains or the jungle area, but there has always been many desert areas as well.... Mostly a bit inland from the Pacific Ocean before you reach the mountains. You can see this in places like Huacachina and Paracas, but there are many more places as well. The Nazca lines are a good example and if they weren't in the deserts we wouldn't have been able to find them. I don't intend to minimize the risks that logging are presenting the country. The Amazon region is being cut at alarming rates and the effect that would have is global.
@@BrettBodkinsPhotography WHewwww, Thanks Brett, That's a great relief to know! I guess I never saw any desert when I was there, most likely because I was hiking through Rainforest Jungle, not sand dunes. I didn't even see sand.
@@comedianmattrossey Yes, I live in Pucallpa, the first port city on the way into the Amazon. There's alot of jungle, but definitely it's threatened... Not as badly as the glaciers though...
I think bloopers and outtakes are my fav part of all ur videos guys ! I just love seeing u guys be silly😛
Haha it's good to show off the reality behind the filming Yolanda 😜
Miss you Jane! You were a great addition to the channel 👍
Loved the occy cam!
And the colours of the mountains is unbelievable!
He nailed it Kris!
Love that I can see Peru, I never could even imagine what Peru looked like and now I get to see it first hand. Thank you for sharing.
I'm just going down memory lane here, very emotional, given well, yeah. Hugs Max. Snuggles Occy. ❤
Audible book rec - Sapiens. Really interesting.
I visited Peru last September and loved it. I'm so jealous that y'all have so much time to go and see so many things. Watching your videos definitely make me want to go back and explore some more.
I don't know if you're planning to go near Lima. If you do, you should definitely visit Barranco. My kids and I spent some time there and just loved the cool artist vibe. Great bars and restaurants too.
Peru looks amazing. You look so happy and chilled in this video. See you next week ❤
Peru was a blast! Thanks Clare!!
Glad the van is fixed max, peace of mind for the rest of your yourney. That hike looked insanly far 😉 Occy get the doggy cam sorted ❤️❤️ have a great week guys and keep up those grreat videos
Or so you'd think! Having troubles again haha. they just can't seem to find the real issue!
When Max said they saw something that would put you off meat for life. Three years ago I was in a meat market in Greece and it churned my stomach so bad that I went vegetarian
I love your Sunday morning videos. I wake up and grab my iPad and get to travel with you. Thanks for another beautiful adventure. You three are just awesome!!
Love that!!
The reason we see the rainbow coloration in the stratigraphic layers of the Ausangate mountain is largely due to weathering and mineralogy. Red coloration of sedimentary layers often indicates iron oxide rust as a trace mineral. Similar to how a nail will rust and turn red when oxidized, sediments that are iron rich will change when exposed to oxygen and water. This, in combination with uplift and tectonically driven crustal shortening has tilted the sedimentary layers on their side exposing stripped stratigraphic intervals.
The different coloration is due to different environmental conditions and mineralogy when the sediment was originally deposited and subsequently diagenetically altered. Introduction of goethite or oxidized limonite will introduce a brownish coloration to sandstones. The bright yellow coloration could be due to iron sulphide as trace minerals within the pore cement. In addition, chlorite will often color sediments varying shades of green dependent on diagenetic history and concentration.
Thank you so much for the great info! If we could pin more than one comment we would!
Hi Lee and Max, thanks again for taking me along to Peru. I love how you calculated your arrival for your hike and your camping stop along the River. My cousin is in Peru with her daughter and I see her photos on FB. They went some of the same places as you all, but there were always crowds around. Another pro for van travels. Other highlights were the opening shots, village views, the colors of Peru, sweet Occy and how tuned in he was to his surroundings and the Occycam. Be well and travel safely.
Hey Kathi! Our pleasure, it's been great to have you along!!
And yep, definitely a perk of van life is avoiding all the crowds. We figure we went the harder route to get there so deserve some solitude every now and then 😉Peru was so full of culture and amazing views!
Happy 400k!!! Love watching your adventures so much!!
Thanks Rachael!!
Afternoon Max, Lee and Occy. Wow Rainbow mountain is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure with us. Loving Occy cam and the drone shots. Stay safe guys. I dunno if I’ve asked this before but have you guys got any plans to travel Europe? Eamon and Bec are currently here in the UK and I would love to meet you guys and give Occy a cwtch. Stay safe guys and I’ll look forward to next Sunday’s vlog. ❤️xx
*There is a unique place in the Ocean in Peru. The name is "playa roja" - red beach, in Paracas*
Unfortunately we missed it!
@@MaxLeeandOccy hope you could add this to your itinerary. In Punta Coles National Reserve, there are hundreds of sealyons + pinguins + thousands of birds . The scenery is surreal. The best way to arrive there is from ILO, ruclips.net/video/j1bmMWnJzh4/видео.html
@@Anto6504 unfortunately we are out of Peru now mate. A good one to save for next time!
Love the Occy cam, good idea waiting for everyone to leave, amazing views.
Definitely worth the wait!!
Amazing video and great efforts for making such kind of video with Good content...👍
Thanks Vikas!!
I've been wandering RUclips for years and very glad I've found you both. And Occy of course.
the mountain very attractive
Layers of shale, the geologic term for mud that was deposited in a bay or low energy environment where the mud was able to accumulate at different times and with different minerals which created the variegated color layers.
What got them up here to 13,000 feet?
Plate tectonics, which pushed the rocks up at an angle. We are seeing the rock formations at an angle, kinda like looking at a slice of layered cake that tipped over.
Another beautiful, chill, educational travel video... My ‘have to watch’ RUclips channel. Nearing 400,000 subscribers-well-deserved, with many more to come! Happy to be a Patreon of Max & Lee + Occy! :-)
,
Aww thank you Katharine, both for the kind words and all of your support 🙏🏼❤️
Skips from her rubbing arm pits to preparing food with hands lul

Great video! Incredibly beautiful. Safe travels!
A 19 minute video felt like 7minutes ...I love love love watching you guys. Wholesome, natural, sweet, adventurous, inspiring and just overall great content/edits. Occy cam for the win 😂
Hey guys! I hope your adventures are going nice and steady; you feed us every Sunday with more and more places to add in to the bucket list!
There are many archaeological sites to go in Peru, any on your list for the upcoming videos?
It would be great to see all those markets in depth along with the local variety of veggies, could be a great addition to the cuisine and channel ^^
Have a great day guys! Regards from Scotland!
Your videos have grown SO much...they are incredible. You guys are very talented videographers!
Aww thank you! ❤️

Quando virao para o Brazil ?
Kisses you dog 💖
Gracias Louro! Y no se! Proximo ano pienso!
Hey Max you got any recommendations on a good magazine? 😂
🤣🤐
Why Jerry Why? 😂😂😂
Come visit indonesia 🇲🇨😊
The Occy-cam is a great idea! So lucky to have all the mountain for yourself. By the way, next week is 28 de Julio "Fiestas Patrias", we celebrate our independence day. It's going to get loud, people celebrating, fireworks, etc.
ReApEr that wasn't luck that was great planning plus the benefit of having your house with you! 😃
Are you guys planning on coming to Brazil?
Very cool to get to know more places in Peru through you guys. I'm looking forward to going there!
Audiobook recommendation: Vertical Run by Joseph Garber Fantastic reader with great character voices (you won't believe his range) by the famous actor, Stephen Lang (he was the bad guy on James Cameron's "Avatar"). If you enjoyed the movie Die Hard, you will love this book! Here is the plot, nice and short. "You wake up one morning and everyone you know is trying to kill you." We love our audiobooks, but this one is so good, that we have listened to it probably 10 times now. Fast-paced, intriguing, and poetic at times. No one we have recommended this to has ever said a negative word about this audiobook. Let us know what you thought, please! www.amazon.com/Vertical-Run-A-Novel/dp/B00005455M/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?keywords=vertical+run+audiobook&qid=1563934411&s=lawn-garden&sr=8-1-fkmr2
Guys. I strongly recommend the lesser-travelled northern route to Kuélap, the 'other Machu Piccu' via Chachapoyas . From there you can drive down to Trapoto (of the famous Harry Potter quidditch team) and on to the Amazon and Yurimaguas on the river. From there, there is marvellous 3 day freight-boat trip to Iquitos. From there you could fly back to collect the van or take a high-speed boat back to Yurimaguas. Great footage of the Andes and the river trip to be got and largely gringo-free.
Two books I just read both are on the power of positivity (Cant Hurt Me) and (Power of Now) the first book is based on a true story and knocked my socks off and the second book was amazing as well.
Namasthe very good Sunday evening. Amazing video. I m from India.
👏✌🙏
But
Missing your Mum too
Love Love LOVE the OCCYCAM POV❣
Thanks Renay!

Hi!
*Occy was fascinated with the smell of fresh meat at the Cusco's Market. He is 100% carnivorous !*
Cats carnivor, dogs omnivor,..... only meat for a dog probably not ideal.
mickymidnight1 hmm... You got me thinking and I really wasn't sure of the answer ... So, I went looking and I found this and thought you might find it interesting too 😊
www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/is-your-loving-kind-fluffy-dog-friend-a-carnivore-or-an-omnivore/
Anto6504 hi, maybe you could check out the link I posted in the reply section of mickymidnight1's response to you ... It's got some good information based on the scientific examination of a canines entire digestive tract 😉
I guess if you're rich you could also end up "LIVING IN A VANNN.... DOWN BY THE RIVVVERRRR"!!!!!
Wow! The Awesome beauty of Rainbow Mountain looked Spectacular, the different reddish colors & browns.What a Super view at the top.Occy enjoyed taking off a head.That lovely stream and Occy went right into it.Thanks, for sharing this Amazing journey. All Blessings on future van trips.Amen! 🙏❤🙏🤗
YESSSS ...I love Audible & one of my first listens was Beneath a Scarlet sky! also ...GREAT story!!
