We're planning to do Peru Hop and came across your video. Thank you for this information. And mannn ... love the wisdom and the end of this video. Thank you for looking after the locals. For those privilege enough to give, it's the way to go. good on you mate!
I love the way you ended this video. If you want to go, go! I also love how you emphasize to take care of the people there as you go…you have a beautiful heart and a great outlook on life!
Thank you so much for this video. I was having a difficult time finding current info on the Peru Hop. Also loved your perspective on just paying the vendors what they are asking. Something I had not thought about. We really need to check our privilege sometimes don’t we?
Awsome Im glad it helped. We spent about 4 months in these poor countries and it completely changed my view for sure. We come and tour all over their home lands with our pockets full of cash and then try to get a deal from a street vender who lives in a shack with no running water. Im so glad my kids were able to see how the world lives. The people are what make travel special.
In My Opinion, Peruhop is the worse option, having to stick to their schedules, when you can have the freedom of using many other great bus companies covering the same routes for a fraction of the cost. The issue with Vendors is that Haggling is the culture, they expect it, so paying "What they ask for" is actually paying 2x3x4 times the amount they actually wanted to get. Particularly more so when it comes to trinkets and souvenirs. Paying what thy ask for may be OK for you, not so much for locals.
@@travelwith6589 Not really, you can get from Lima to Cusco for around $70-$80 Stopping in Nasca, Ica, Paracas, Arequipa .. Even if you had to pay for taxis to get to the bus stations, it is still cheaper. But, it is not so much about the price, but the freedom of not having to follow their schedules when there are so many other bus options covering the same routes with more schedules. Also like it happen to you, if They do not have enough demand, they will put you in a small uncomfortable bus/van, cancel certain routes and put you on a public coach bus.
Hola, que tal?, como van?, Los mejores y más cordiales Saludos desde puente piedra, lima, Perú, ojalá que puedan venir en algún momento a mi país nuevamente y que disfruten mucho de todo por aquí, con toda la familia posible y todos los amigos, felicidades por sus vídeos....
thank you for making this video. I came across it trying to find out more about Peruhop but your message at the end is invaluable and is something I think everyone should hear before travelling to another destination where opportunities we’ve had are harder to come by ❤
@@travelwith6589 Thanks, that would be helpful. We might try going to La Paz Bolivia from Lake TC, and also to Ecuador (Quito). So happy for any general South America advice. I like your perspective. Keep the channel going! :)
I went to Peru last September and used the Peru Hop. They had done the same thing with the buses, but it didn't bother me too much except for the long ride from Ica to Arequipa. Thank you for sharing your travel and the tips.
excellent outline of a very interesting itinerary. Sure, by flying around one gets to places fast but with this bus system one gets to see lots of inbetween parts too. Just came back from an Egypt trip and looking into a way to travel around Peru for next year so your video is perfect.
What EXCELLENT advice at the end! They are grateful for our generosity. We help them survive. I live in Ecuador, and sometimes get the "gringo tax" or get "gringoed" which I don't appreciate, especially since I'm very generous, as well. Blessings!
@@travelwith6589Nice that you gave extra to the ppl in RURAL/small town Perú that are really just trying to eek out an existence. However, you are a tourist, and you don't live in Lima or Quito. When you are RESIDENT, be it from the US or a European-descent Latin American, the price goes up on many services, especially:cabs (no meters), home repairs, car repairs, hair salons etc. The phrase "gringo prices" happens for a reason.
Was the 2 hour Puno tour enough? it's 20-30min to the islands so that leaves 1 hour on the island itself? The bus schedule says arrive Puno 6am depart to Copacabana 8am what if the tour is back after 8am?
Thanks for the great video. I’m taking my two teens next year - 3 women alone.. so I think Peru Hop would be ideal to get from Lima to Cusco. We plan on staying a while in Cusco. I thought that travelling more slowly to Cusco might help with altitude sickness .. how did you find it when you arrived in Cusco?
Cusco was a blessing after being in Puno. If you go to Puno don't overdo it the first day, it's hard on you. I live at 5200' and it was still hard on all of us. Peru is not easy but it's amazing. Stay tuned I've got in depth Peru videos coming.
Great tips, especially sitting away from the bus stickers. But my lord why did you bring such huge horrendous luggage???! Super inconvenient on the bus and those stairs I would think. Loved your take on how you ended the video. Perspective is key and yes, Just GO! 🌍 ✈️
That little bit at the end is so true. I went to st lucia and and bought something that was $5 but I gave the woman $20 and told her to keep the change and she literally started crying. $15 brought tears to her eyes. Meanwhile I dont even notice if my washer eats $15. Just remember to be generous
May I ask does Peru hop pick you from your accommodation or do you have to make your own way to designated boarding points? If it’s the latter, where can I get information on the meeting place in each city?
Excellent video thank you so much. Your empathy for the people is great. Be fair and kind they are poor people here especially in comparison to Canada and the USA
Hi! I loved your video and candor. Thanks for the tips and especially the liked your view on not haggeling with street vendors. What did you and your family do about drinking water throughout your trip? Did you buy water bottles or use a filter system?
Absolutely. I was amazed at how many solo female travelers we saw. The Peru hop guides know every city very well and will advise you where to go and where not to go. I don't have costs per person. Peru hop has all the hostel pricing for every city and 10-15$ a day should be plenty for food. Everything in Cusco is expensive
Does it get fully booked? Like say I want to get from Cusco to Puno but wont know until day before when I wanna leave Cusco, is there a chance it is fully booked?
Sorry for the late response. Less than 24 hours would probably be hard to get on. They like a couple days notice so can make sure they have enough room
I absolutely agree with you , if you want to see Peru, Travel and explore Peru now don’t wait. We were in Peru last month and had amazing trip.Due to train strike we had to walk 3-4 hours to Hydroelectrica to catch our bus going back to Cusco. the views along the way was beautiful and never got bored.And as what you’ve said and totally agree with you,don’t bargain to this native Peruvian selling goods on the street they just work for a living.I was fortunate to visit a family in Chivay and you’ll see how hard life is in Peru. I want to go back to Peru in the future to explore this fascinating country and thinking will do it with Peru Hop hoping we can get to Bolivia. Thank you for sharing this is helpful. God bless.Enjoy traveling! Liked and subscribed.
Is there a new protest stopping the train? It was a 3 day protest in January. So glad you were able to experience it with locals. Travel is the best when you learn the people. I hope you can go back and take Peru hop it's an amazing journey. Keep exploring!!
It was a train strike we experienced last May . Agree, privilege to interact with the locals , it was one of a kind experience.You too , enjoy traveling!
Greetings friend, I loved your video, but you really need to travel and experience Peru more and not stay just one day so that you leave at night, that is not living a trip, you have to stay and get to know the very paradisiacal places that Peru has , because all the places in Peru , its coasts , its mountains and its jungle , are very beautiful . My this trip that you made was very brief and it was not a real trip, but now tourism has been reactivated more because the pandemic could already be controlled and now everything has changed and is improved much more, since I visited Peru, I was amazed in love , since the last time I went, greetings from , sydney , Australia
I like your video. My daughter and I plan to go to Peru and Bolivia next year and I think we will take Peru off. Not bargain in this country, I am agree with you. And your last sentence, if you want.. Go. I fond off. Thanks a lot.
Eso no es un viaje para disfrutar un pais, eso es correr todo el tiempo, comer sin saborear, mirar sin observar el atardecer el amanecer, sin compartir momentos con los locales, con stress. Eso es lo que menos queremos Quiza es mejor visitar menos y tener calidad Quedarse en casa mejor
Thanks for the great video! I’m going to Peru for about 2 weeks in January and hoping to do the trip that ends in Bolivia. This was super helpful to see how everything works :)
oh come on. "peruvian bed", that's term or idea does not exists. It happened that your hotel did have those small beds, but that's absolutlely not the standard at all in Peru. Normal beds, period, just call that hotel to tell them to change those beds, simply.
I came across your video while researching for our Peru trip - we are a family of 4 with 2 teens. How refreshing it is to see how your family travels after having watched dozens of 'influencer' vlogs. You gave honest and heartfelt advice. If you don't mind me asking, which tour company did you use for the sand dune buggy ride in Huacachina? I've read that safety could be an issue with some of these companies. Would love to watch more of your travels in Peru. Thanks.
Peru hop lined up the sand buggy. It's an adventure, I don't think dangerous but I'm an adrenaline junkie. I have a lot of good footage coming for peru just haven't gotten to it yet. I'm a contractor and swamped all summer but it's coming. Traveling with teens is hard. They miss friends, dating, driving it's ultimately why we came home. We had a 1 year around the world trip planned but cut it short for them.
Thank you for your review. I will be traveling PeruHop in September. However, as a seasoned traveler I have learned that it is crucial to do your homework/research. You could have found out about altitude sickness. Countries outside of the United States are NOT the United States. One of the reasons for travel is learn about other cultures. It is important to be flexible when traveling.
Great video, but i'd like to make some corrections about the culture. The southern andes of Peru was the most staunchly loyal to the Spanish in the country, most of the royal army was made up of people from Lima and the southern Andes. For example, those "traditional clothes" you are seeing are not from anywhere in all of the Americas, they come from Europe, Spain to be exact, but they are the fashion of the late XVIth century, which was adopted by the local people as they were integrated and mixed with Spanish culture. Unlike the English, the Spanish didn't live apart from the locals and there was heavy intermarriage between them, at all class levels, there were laws to protect and give rights to the natives and they went about their business as normal. Where there abuses and excesses? yes, like in any country at all times, even now. So no, they didn't "resist" or "fought back" against the Spanish in the sense you are mentioning it. What happened in the Inca empire was that the Spanish, with help from native allies and half of the Inca empire (the Inca were in a civil war at the time of contact) married into the Inca royalty and authority was transferred to them and acknowledged by the local rulers from all the former lands of the empire, sealed with the customary exchange of gifts and wives. It was after the plagues hit, successive waves for more than 50 years that ruled was transferred to the children of the unions between Spanish and Natives, since they inherited immunity. The local languages where preserved, the Spanish created dictionaries for them and at least 60% of Peru spoke Quechua or Aimara until the 70's. I suggest you read sources not based on the Black Legend, if you are interested in understanding reality and the facts ofc. There are several sources in English from people of the time, (XVI to XIX century) discussing the differences between the English and Spanish colonies. And how the natives had rights and were protected in the Spanish ones while that was ofc not the case in North America.
Pablo than you for that information. I get a lot of feedback and education in these comments. I just regurgitate what I was told. I would definitely like ant book recommendations. Thanks again for the clarity
I appreciate your view on bartering and not trying to beat down prices when people are just trying to make a living. Thanks for the review
It took me a little while to figure out their true living situation
Very helpful! Thanks for sharing your experience!
We're planning to do Peru Hop and came across your video. Thank you for this information. And mannn ... love the wisdom and the end of this video. Thank you for looking after the locals. For those privilege enough to give, it's the way to go. good on you mate!
Thank you enjoy every minute of it
I love the way you ended this video. If you want to go, go! I also love how you emphasize to take care of the people there as you go…you have a beautiful heart and a great outlook on life!
Thankyou. I didn't start with those theries. Travel introduced me to them. You just don't understand until you see other people's perspective.
Thank you so much for this video. I was having a difficult time finding current info on the Peru Hop. Also loved your perspective on just paying the vendors what they are asking. Something I had not thought about. We really need to check our privilege sometimes don’t we?

Do you know what it would cost for the same route on the public bus system

Ya that part sucked. I think if your a savy travel than you could do the bus no problem. But if a scared American with no Spanish it's pretty nice
Thank you from Germany for your honest review!
Hola, que tal?, como van?,
Los mejores y más cordiales Saludos desde puente piedra, lima, Perú, ojalá que puedan venir en algún momento a mi país nuevamente y que disfruten mucho de todo por aquí, con toda la familia posible y todos los amigos,
felicidades por sus vídeos....
gracias. Espero volver pronto. Definitivamente necesito más tiempo para aprender Perú.
Thank you for this video.. ive been searching for peruhop reviews for the past 2 yrs and yours is by far the best.. new subscriber here
Cool thanks. Hopefully I'll get the full length Peru videos done soon. Lots of good info
The perfect time to go to Cusco is in June. They have so many festivities and you will see a lot of the culture.
thank you for making this video. I came across it trying to find out more about Peruhop but your message at the end is invaluable and is something I think everyone should hear before travelling to another destination where opportunities we’ve had are harder to come by ❤
You honestly don't get it on a one week Vacation but if you immerse yourself for weeks you really start to understand what they are going through
Great video. Very user focused and helpful. I like the short description of each place, and the special encouragement at the end!
Awesome I hope you have a great time!
Hopefully I can get the detailed Peru videos done for you in time

Did you stop in Nazca? Ica to Arequipa would be a long drive!
@Travel with 6 Yes. Just a few hours stop. Only went to the tower and then head on to Arequipa in the overnight bus.

Awesome thank you. We spent 3 weeks and I definitely needed more time. Arequipa would be a great place for long term stay
Great video. Honest and informative. Best part is your advice at the end.
An awesome video and breakdown of travel in Peru. I am planning to go the Peru Hop way for 3wks. Thanks for sharing your travel.
3 weeks will be awesome. Remember you can sleep when you get home so go do everything you can while your there. Good luck
What EXCELLENT advice at the end! They are grateful for our generosity. We help them survive. I live in Ecuador, and sometimes get the "gringo tax" or get "gringoed" which I don't appreciate, especially since I'm very generous, as well. Blessings!
It's a shame the richest people barter with those who might be struggling. I hope all goes well for you

Very informative, I nearly teared up with your parting words. I love your soul.
Thanks. I think we can help people and still fill our travel bug
Thanks for this will definitely do the PeruHop all the way to La Paz. What month did you visit? Thanks
January. It was cold and rainy in the mountains
Great tips, especially sitting away from the bus stickers. But my lord why did you bring such huge horrendous luggage???! Super inconvenient on the bus and those stairs I would think. Loved your take on how you ended the video. Perspective is key and yes, Just GO! 🌍 ✈️
This video was our fourth month abroad and our third country. We had paired down a lot of luggage by this point. I personally used a single backpack
That little bit at the end is so true. I went to st lucia and and bought something that was $5 but I gave the woman $20 and told her to keep the change and she literally started crying. $15 brought tears to her eyes. Meanwhile I dont even notice if my washer eats $15. Just remember to be generous
Yes we are spoiled beyond belief. Give especially when your using their country for entertainment
This is a fantastic video. Thank you so much for it. Very helpful. You made me cry at the end.
Wow thank you. I hope all your travel dreams come true
May I ask does Peru hop pick you from your accommodation or do you have to make your own way to designated boarding points? If it’s the latter, where can I get information on the meeting place in each city?
Sorry for the delay. Yes they pick you up at your hotel. We only paid for the taxi from the airport to our hotel in Lima. Peru hop was great
Excellent report 👌.
I have wanted to go here for years 😕.
Its our 30th wedding anniversary in February so we have decided to go for it ☺️
Awesome but I'm warning you that you will get addicted and all your money will go to travel. Good for you
@@travelwith6589 Thanks. ❤️
We enjoyed watching your RUclips, we are going later this year, but not by bus thank you
Excellent video thank you so much. Your empathy for the people is great. Be fair and kind they are poor people here especially in comparison to Canada and the USA
Thank you so much for this review. Very helpful and I love the ending❤
Wow whole trip wear a mask 2022
I didn't mention it but while we were in Peru it was mandatory double mask's. Proof of vaccination to enter any store. I hope it's better now
Now it is only mandatory to use masks in closed places like stores, transport, etc
That’s a lovely video. I really appreciated your message. Reassured me with my Peru Hop choice. But I will confirm my choices. Thank you.
Thank you
Hi! I loved your video and candor. Thanks for the tips and especially the liked your view on not haggeling with street vendors. What did you and your family do about drinking water throughout your trip? Did you buy water bottles or use a filter system?
We bought water the whole time, 4 months. Try to buy large container and pour in our reusable. Avoid single use containers. Don't trust any water!!
Also if you stay in AIRB&B they usaully provide a 5 gallon clena drinking water. If you stay a while they have water delivery to the apartment
Don't drink tap water, You can boil it or Buy water bottle. I'm peruvian and it is risky to try tap water.
Thank you! Is it safe for a solo female traveler? Do you have an approximate cost per person?
Absolutely. I was amazed at how many solo female travelers we saw. The Peru hop guides know every city very well and will advise you where to go and where not to go. I don't have costs per person. Peru hop has all the hostel pricing for every city and 10-15$ a day should be plenty for food. Everything in Cusco is expensive

Latin American September through February
January for peru
Great, honest review.

Thank you! I am going to Peru in August!
Awesome I'm trying to get the rest of my Peru videos done. Have a blast
Thanks for the review!
❤❤❤
Thanks for the great video! I’m going to Peru for about 2 weeks in January and hoping to do the trip that ends in Bolivia. This was super helpful to see how everything works :)
Awesome. Bolivia land border was closed when we were there so we didn't make it. Have an awesome trip. Plan on rain and cold that time of year
Great video!
Well said about the bargaining aspect.
Great video x
Thank you
helpful
Thanks now make sure you get out there
oh come on. "peruvian bed", that's term or idea does not exists. It happened that your hotel did have those small beds, but that's absolutlely not the standard at all in Peru. Normal beds, period, just call that hotel to tell them to change those beds, simply.
Sorry "short bed" not Peru bef
Very good description
Thank you
I came across your video while researching for our Peru trip - we are a family of 4 with 2 teens. How refreshing it is to see how your family travels after having watched dozens of 'influencer' vlogs. You gave honest and heartfelt advice. If you don't mind me asking, which tour company did you use for the sand dune buggy ride in Huacachina? I've read that safety could be an issue with some of these companies.
Would love to watch more of your travels in Peru.
Thanks.
Peru hop lined up the sand buggy. It's an adventure, I don't think dangerous but I'm an adrenaline junkie. I have a lot of good footage coming for peru just haven't gotten to it yet. I'm a contractor and swamped all summer but it's coming. Traveling with teens is hard. They miss friends, dating, driving it's ultimately why we came home. We had a 1 year around the world trip planned but cut it short for them.
Score: 1.750 (out of 10.000)
That's a little harsh
Very informative. Thank you!
I hope it helped.
Thank you for your review. I will be traveling PeruHop in September. However, as a seasoned traveler I have learned that it is crucial to do your homework/research. You could have found out about altitude sickness. Countries outside of the United States are NOT the United States. One of the reasons for travel is learn about other cultures. It is important to be flexible when traveling.
I have been there before and I know the altitude problem. Sometimes there's nothing that can fix the problem. I was just trying to emphasize the point
Great video, but i'd like to make some corrections about the culture. The southern andes of Peru was the most staunchly loyal to the Spanish in the country, most of the royal army was made up of people from Lima and the southern Andes.

Sounds like a very entitled American for the first 8 minutes
that said - the rest of the video was great.
I agree we are spoiled Americans. I Made the video for travelers and therefore I wanted to point out the good and the bad.
