    Thank you so much for this video. We just started planning our "want to visit" places after trekking in the region and the Sacred Valley is definitely on our list. How long in advance did you book your accommodation?

    • @KittiandJon
      @KittiandJon  4 месяца назад +1

      Glad you found it helpful 😊 it’s an amazing place! We probably booked accommodation for that trip no more than a week in advance. We were staying in an Airbnb in Cusco for a month and just waited for a weather window before booking anything 👍

    This was great. I am looking to plan a trip to Peru and I am interested in visiting the Ruins and the Salt Ponds. I have mobility issues, I can walk but would be unable to hike. Are these places easily reached via taxi? I saw you hiked most places which I could not do, but I could walk around the areas as long as I get transport from Ollantaytambo

    • @KittiandJon
      @KittiandJon  10 месяцев назад +2

      Thank you 😊 yes you can most likely get taxis to anywhere along the Sacred Valley from Ollantaytambo including the ruins and salt ponds. There are tours which also include many of the sites in one day as well 👍 hope that helps!

    hi! when were you in the sacred valley? are the protests still happening do you think? thanks :)

    • @KittiandJon
      @KittiandJon  Год назад

      Hi! We were in the Sacred Valley last year so the protests are definitely not still happening. Enjoy your visit and thanks for watching! 😊

      There is a big nationwide protest on the 19th of July, a bit unclear what will happen after. I just came back from Perú and everything was good but you could tell that tourism has dropped quite a lot because of the situation, of course for us was good.

    Hi so we are planning a trip in December and I want to thank for making this video it has been very helpful for planning our trip. I want to ask 1. Did you need any special permit to fly the drone there? 2. I have two nights in Cusco and one night at Ollantaytambo.. Should I make it two at ollantaytambo and one at Cusco given we want to explore Sacred valley well? Thank you in advance!

    • @KittiandJon
      @KittiandJon  7 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you for your nice comment 😊 in answer to your questions: we didn’t need any special permit to fly the drone where we did but you would certainly need a permit to fly it anywhere close to the ancient sites. There are no drone signs all over the place around them so best to steer clear of those. And then we wouldn’t say it would make much of a difference which way round you did the 2 nights and the 1 night. Parts of the sacred valley are closer to Cusco and parts are closer to Ollantaytambo but you’ll be able to get to all places easily from either. Cusco is bigger so probably better to keep your 2 night stay there 👍 hope that helps and have a great time 😊
