Great review of Cusco!! Im taking a trip ...3 days trip! Lol 😂 Im from Peru..living in the states for a long time. This video makes me so happy! Thank you! For appreciating my country! I love Peru...is always in my❤.
I miss Peru and the good energy you feel in cusco is something you can't describe you have to be there to understand it.... i went for a few weeks and stayed for 3 wonderful years
We go to Peru every year on Mission Trips (Mainly in Pucallpa & Lima). My time in Cusco was the greatest time of my life! Can't wait to go back next year! I would like to go to Peru with you one day. 😅
Such a special region! I would love to put together a community trip with a few people and have a retreat type of situation! Let me know if that's interesting to you 😃
I had booked the rainbow mountain before watching this video and almost cx. Glad I didn't. It is a beautiful place, maybe not with the enhanced colors you see on peoples pictures. Definitely worth it. The people in the mountain are so humble. We went up on a horse and climbed some of it. Take the Muna tea being sold, we found it very helpful. We enjoyed some Alpaca Chicharron made by a local. Like Ryan says there are other mountains but this 16000 foot mountain was gorgeous.
I got back from beautiful Peru yesterday. I hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu for 4 days and 3 nights. Definitely one of a lifetime experience. Machu Picchu was beautiful and the Rainbow Mountain too. I miss Cusco already 🥹🦙💕🇵🇪
Thanks for sharing bro! I’ll be there in 2 weeks. Doing a 5 day mountaineering trip , Macchu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and a couple days to relax afterwards .
This is excellent. I have exactly three nights in Cusco and my second day I will do MP. I’m doing MP in one day and devote a couple days to the sights and sounds of Cusco.
Hi great video with tips that I haven’t heard from the other videos we have watched! Thanks for the content! Husband and I are headed there in august. He walks with a cane + uses a mobility scooter that we hope to take (this will be a trip where I will be planning down to the fine details). We have 13 days to travel around + will take our time with much rest 😃 Would you recommend that we : A. Fly to Cusco (your/rest/acclimate for 4-5 days) then Peru hop back to Lima with stops at lake titcaca, nazca, huacachina? Or Do you think we should do the reverse? Thereby seeing matchu Picchu almost last and then flying back to Lima?
Hey! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I'm currently taking a break from producing videos to take an inward creative dive! That's super real! I was messed up for a few days haha
So helpful!! I am planing my trip to Peru atm :) My plan is to stay in Cuzco about a week, 4-5 days in Huaraz for trekking, couple of days Lima and... any suggestion for the last week? Thanks a lot!
Very helpful video, especially about the rainbow maintains. Did you visit Amazon when you were there? My family is planning a Peru trip in about two month and we're thinking to stay 3-4 nights in Amazon, do you recommend it? Thanks and appreciate your help!
Hey! Glad you found the video really helpful. I didn't make it to the Amazon unfortunately. I did go there from the Brazil side, and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life, so I'd recommend getting out there for sure! But, I don't know what it looks like from the Perú side.
I researched and found there are a lot of really great places. Many people go north to Iquitos, but there is a huge reserve in the southwest of Peru called Tambopata. Definitely check it out!
Hi not sure if you’d be able to help me with this! I’m taking the earliest 5am train from Ollaytambo. My entrance to Machu is 6am-7am do you think that’s enough time or should I push my entrance time back?
Hey, great video, love it....curious about the drone shots..did you fly it from centre or inside the city or did you fly it in from the outskirts of the city...also any suggestions to operate drones in cusco / lima.
Thank you! I flew the drone from many different places, just be careful with your zones and with the airport near by! Especially if you don't have cellular connection when you're flying. I would recommend making sure you're at least on wifi so you can respond if zones change while you're in flight.
Amigo, thanks for taking the time to post your perspective! Out of all the vids I've looked at lately, this one was the most straight-forward and honest, So My question is: did you book well in advance for your Machu Picchu excursion from Cusco, or was it a show up and go? My concern is the ridiculous cost that comes with planning ahead vs knowing that there are only certain amounts of people per day admitted to the site. I would like to know a lot more from your experience because it seems that honest information is hard-to-come-by when one's itinerary is being left open I want to see the thing but I feel like I'm looking at too steep a price. Not that the tour guides don't deserve good income for top notch service, but I'm getting mixed signals without clarity. tyia
By the way your photos are incredible! I'm about to embark on my Peru journey with a Rebel Ts6 and I have barely touched the surface of how to use this machine. The entire reason the old-school camera came to me was specifically for Peru since everyone in my life knows it's my main dream to go. If you have camera tips, I could sure use them too
Hey! Thanks for such a genuine comment and asking good questions! I would say it depends on how risk averse you are as a person for how far in advance you want to book the Machu Picchu tickets. I would recommend getting them at least a week in advance though. I don't know what the current travel amount is right now for Machu Picchu though! I have started doing some travel consulting though if you want to dive really deep in on it! 😃
Oh wow,, thanks again! I love shooting while I'm on the road and Perú was one of my favorite locations to shoot in hands down! My biggest tip with photography is go out and DO it. That is one art that I've found is really based on just practicing and adjusting. But, of course I have a lot of small adjustment advices for how to use your camera, they're just hard to put all in a RUclips comment 😂 Overall my biggest advice is 100% go out and get after it! 😃 ❤️
Hey! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I'm currently taking a break from producing videos to take an inward creative dive! They're pretty strict in, depending on the place and city. When I went there the rules were different, so I'm not 100% sure of what it looks like now.
Hey! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I'm currently taking a break from producing videos to take an inward creative dive! I'm not sure. I never ended up taking the hop on - hop off buses out there.
got 2 weeks in Lima - Will bus it to Cusco with no time limit - Once I arrive, what are the chances i can make it to M. P. in the next day or two ? How much is entry to M. P. ? (an idea) - thanks for helpfulness. Pg
Hey! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I'm currently taking a break from producing videos to take an inward creative dive! That's dope! The chances are super high that you can do that. Go to the official Machu Picchu website and reserve the time and date you want to get up to Machu Picchu and you'll have everything you need! 😊
@@RyanFila Hey Ryan, I want to add to this question because I was previously aware of the MP admission regardless of hiking in (original plan was Inca Trail) and train in. My struggle is with the idea of booking an entire trip ahead of time at an exorbitant amount and a "guarantee" vs being there and having a slightly flexible date to do the day trip (hike no longer an option). Point is I know there are only a certain amount of visitors allowed per day and I am tossed because I want to see the thing but also not be rick-rolled by the IP address.
@@RyanFila Currently here in cusco now! Elevation gain is no joke. We have a trip planned for rainbow mountain but now im more interested in the other option you mentioned. Were they drone friendly? Any other drone friendly areas you know of? also does the san pedro market have cheap churos too lol
@@HDBnB1 The elevation is definitely no joke! Palcoyo was drone friendly when I was there. So unless something has changed, it should be fine. The city of Cusco doesn't have any restrictions on drones, just be safe with it around the buildings for sure. And I don't know about the churro situation haha. There is a small shop over by the market that does have some good churros though! Did you pick up my map? It may be on there. I can't remember if I put that spot on it though.
@@RyanFila I totally forgot to get the map! Last day here but it was a great time! didn't bring my drone to rainbow mountain which was a regret but it was super windy up there anyways
That would be solid too. Humantay is gorgeous and there are some cool little accommodation spots right at the foot of the hill. The view of the Andes from that area is insane!

Wooo... que Genial Cusco es mistico y maravilloso me encanta!!!! La energía que se percibe es genial.
I'm about to go in May 2024 and I've watched loads of tip videos.. your video is great! Thank you!! I'm so excited ❤ Aussie solo trekker x
Thanks for sharing bro! I’ll be there in 2 weeks. Doing a 5 day mountaineering trip , Macchu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and a couple days to relax afterwards .
That's so dope!! You're about to have a life changing experience!! I would look at Polcoyo instead of Rainbow Mountain though 😊
@@RyanFila thanks for the tip bro I’ll check it out 🙏🏻
This is excellent. I have exactly three nights in Cusco and my second day I will do MP. I’m doing MP in one day and devote a couple days to the sights and sounds of Cusco.
Yes! I hope this was insightful and adds value to your overall trip 😃
Love watching your videos during my lunch breaks! Great way to break up the day
Haha it gives you a quick get away? I'm impressed you watch even tip videos like this!
Great vlog Ryan - looks an amazing place to enjoy,
I'm moving to Cusco to teach English in July, can't wait and this video makes me so excited!!!
Heck yeah! Cusco is one of my favorite places in the world. It's incredible!! Enjoy your time there 😊

Great advice! Especially the food market - arroz ala cubana was my favorite dish 😊
Thank you! That local market was one of my favorite spots to get lunch.
Thanks for all the advice. Excellent tips.
You're welcome! Thanks for the hype!
@@RyanFila Thank you
Me encanta el vídeo 😊
You are sooo right about eating light at first because indigestion is a real thing ..
Hey! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I'm currently taking a break from producing videos to take an inward creative dive!
That's super real! I was messed up for a few days haha
My favorite RUclipsr 🤍❤️Lots of support from Nairobi kenya 🇰🇪
Wow! Thank you. that means a lot 😊
So helpful!! I am planing my trip to Peru atm :)
My plan is to stay in Cuzco about a week, 4-5 days in Huaraz for trekking, couple of days Lima and... any suggestion for the last week?
Thanks a lot!
Yooo! Hope I'm not too late here. I would say either to add time in Cusco or go to Huacachina for a day or two as well.
Have you ever been to tambopota and if yes do you recommend it?
Very helpful video, especially about the rainbow maintains. Did you visit Amazon when you were there? My family is planning a Peru trip in about two month and we're thinking to stay 3-4 nights in Amazon, do you recommend it? Thanks and appreciate your help!

Hey! Sorry It's taken me so long, but yeah you'd probably want to push it back. Depending on how long it takes the buses to get up to Machu Picchu.
Great video, Ryan. I love Cusco, I've been there.
Thank you! Word, I didn't know you'd been there! It's one of my favorite places on the planet! 🇵🇪 🏳️🌈

How strick were they about mask in Peru? Did they ask for vacation cards before flying in?

Cusco is a very beautiful city. Can't wait to go back.
Yes, Cusco is an amazing city
@@denisaanderson2647 Have you gone to Cusco recently?
@@chrisanderson6611 yes I was there 2 weeks ago, it was breathtaking MACHUPICCHU.
@@denisaanderson2647 really? I was there 2 weeks ago also with my family. I wonder if we passed each other and didn't know it?
THAT WOULD BE SO WILD! Hope you both enjoyed your trips out there!!
Good advice! 😊
thanks a lot!
Do you know if you can take the train and hop off and tour around Ollantaytambo and hop back on the train and go to Aguas challenges?
Hey! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I'm currently taking a break from producing videos to take an inward creative dive!
I'm not sure. I never ended up taking the hop on - hop off buses out there.
That’s my brother thank you so much how are you doing Long time
My dog! I've been doing well, how about you?
Do you remember the name of your guide in Machu Picchu? She was there a couple months ago when I was there.
Oh wow! I don't remember her name off the top of my head, I'd have to go back and look at photos, but she was great. Her energy was awesome!

What's the currency in Cusco? Do most of the places take credit cards?
Perú uses soles. Yeah, most places take cards. Depending where you are in the country.

I was wondering about spending my third day in lake Humantay. What do you think about this idea?
That would be solid too. Humantay is gorgeous and there are some cool little accommodation spots right at the foot of the hill. The view of the Andes from that area is insane!
💯💯💯
i was in peru while you were there
Oh sweet! where were you?
How is the night life??
Good. It all depends on what community you get involved with.
where can i get weed there?
There's are weeds all over the place 😉
Stay safe god bless
