    I don't understand how these videos have such "low" views! They're some of the best-edited videos I've seen on RUclips and are much better than much of the crap on TV. Deserve much more than 7,000 subscribers buddy!

      +Karl Watson: Travel Documentaries Quick question, are they tagged properly?? When I searched for "Around the world trip" I never saw any of them. Only found your channel by accident! :)

      I had the same experience. I was extensively searching for a Phuket video and came across this by sheer luck. But this is better than anything else I've seen so far.

    Love the authenticity! No fake excitement, no luxury resorts! If u have any sponsored “reviews”, great job cuz i didnt even notice. I just came across ur vids and I’m binge watching all! I m loving it. Great work!

    Machu Picchu has been on my bucket list since I was a little kid and I've seen so many pictures of it but I really had no idea about the Inca trail and how insanely beautiful those mountains are. This leg of the trip really stood out for me. I'm definitely going to make it a point to do the Inca trail when I go. Love your work Karl (& James!!!)

    Man, beautiful documentary series you have created. Its a perfect blend of seriousness, but also down to earth and humanized. The shots are amazing, and the background music are perfect and give added effect. I've always wanted to travel around the world, and this inspired me even more.

  • @LondonViewpoints
    @LondonViewpoints 4 года назад +5

    Inca Trail seemed like one of the best trekking adventures in your trip, backpacking but with that whole crew it was still like pleasant almost luxurious accommodation and the meals they prepared wow😱 and possibly one of it not the best views on the trip from the camps you stayed there, and how the fog and mist lowered for when you entered Machu Piccu - magical 🤩

    • @karlwatsondocs
      @karlwatsondocs  4 года назад +3

    I cried I laughed I cried. The porters introducing themselves to the group, 4 days bonding, then culminating in goodbyes, expressing thanks to the porters. Memories made forever Karl. The editing, the music, the monologue. Wow. Just Wow 👏 👏 👏

    This was a great way to experience the Inca trail. I will definitely be one of those lazy people on the train one day when I am able to visit because I have bronchial asthma. HaHa. But this really gave me joy to watch because I would love to be able to hike the Inca trail. I feel like I was kind of there on the journey with you. Thanks for sharing and inspiring others.

    The bit on 33 minutes about feeling cynical to wards the day trippers - exactly! After four days roughing it, we were determined to make sure we got priority when going up and downstairs and the day trippers waited their turn. So funny that you noticed it too :) Excellent video - brought back some amazing memories.

    I absolutely love your videos! I myself plan to go travelling with a friend in April next year, (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, New Zealand ad Australia) and whilst I was more scared than exited, watching these video's has completely turned that around! Now, I cant wait to get out of the UK and just go! I love the fact that not only are your videos funny, bu they are also informative, you convey the emotional aspect of your adventures very well! Please Please keep these video's coming! You're both doing a fab job!!

    Karl, this was not at all what I expected. Peru is such a diverse country. Very beautiful and so are the people there. I wasn't too crazy about all the critters running about, it's insect hell for sure. You didn't so enough leg in this video though, ha! Thanks again for such a great video tour. On to the next.

    @brilliantbutblue 4 года назад

    Im not convinced that the Inca Trail is more a Tourist $$ spinner than a spiritual/ enlightenment experience. Checking out the prices l would expect great food, great service and great guides. That very first village you went to the guide said "this is not dress up for Tourist benefit" (as they layed out all the obligatory souvenirs), sure. But ld agree with you walking up is the way to go and the experience and views👍👍. Glad you finally got to see some crocs all be it in the Amazon not Australia 🤣. The shots you got of the wildlife and insects was awesome. Thanks guys a great vid.

    I am planning a WOOFF/Workaway trip to South America with my 27-year-old daughter and couldn't decide between Colombia, Ecuador, or Peru. After watching this, I think Peru may win. A week of volunteer work, and then a week to explore Machu PIchu sounds like a great goal for 2016. Beautiful work, you guys!
