Visiting South America's Troubled Nation 🇵🇪

- 🇵🇪 Peru is currently experiencing a lot of civil unrest due to a political crises. Sixty people have been killed by the police and many hundreds injured. The country has been brought to a standstill by road blocks and protests. And so you’d think I would avoid visiting the country. However no, I wanted to visit and see what was happening on the ground and meet the Peruvian people. And practice my Spanish. Join me…
Thank you to Lucy my teacher and chama for patiently helping me learn Spanish this last year. Without her help this trip would have been completely different and only half and interesting.
Don't forget to check out backpacker ben's channel for his version of the adventure and a lot of complaining
Back with a bang👑
Bald what did you use to learn Spanish? I would like to use the same program
Bald and Ben, ye guys make a great pair, good luck on this journey 👍
At last!!!
Thanks for uploading today you made my day 🙏
As a Peruvian who have been watching bald and bankrupt for years. I never thought this day would come. I hope you had a great time in Peru and enjoyed our food ♥️🇵🇪
Yeah, he enjoyed as we can see 😅
@@brum555 Good thing is that burger ain’t even authentic Peruvian food iykyk 🤷🏽♀️
Please help me ….. what is the song playing at 6:29
Uk needs to take a page out of ur fight back
Yo tambien
Viva so calbo
Getting out the poor man’s message of suffering in Peru to the rest of the world was solid gold Mr Bald.
Prolly knowingly that poor man voted for what would become the VP of Castillo, the country's deposed President, when he voted for him in 2021.
Now suddenly that poor fella doesnt want her, the VP, when she was legally his successor if anything happened to him politically.
The man is lying. The current President was literally the previous one's Vice President and is now on power after legal succession following the previous one's attempt to quite literally do a coup. "Protesters" are not even protesting they are quite literally just raiding and sacking businesses and attacking anyone who is not supporting them, to the point of setting buildings on fire and killing policemen. Fuck that guy.
Yes, but also don't take that one guy's word for it, it's worth reading more and getting the full picture of the situation. For example: the former President, Castillo, is in prison for trying to dissolve Congress lol. Peru has long struggled with non-corrupt leadership in their fledgling democracy.
They are in favor of a dictator. Bald here is pushing a certain message, stark when the truth is out there. Castillo self-coup, he gambled a dictatorship and lost. And this people are being fooled into defending him.
We will be victorious in the end, my brotha
Those 2 old ladies selling snacks on the footpath were so sweet. 2 longtime friends getting through life together. ❤
I spent 25 years in the Navy and was able to travel extensively in Europe, Asia and North America. Now that I’m old and my traveling days are almost gone, I quite enjoy these South American travelogues….great job, thanks!
bet you lived a great live.
I love the "When in Rome" attitude Ben adopts everywhere he goes.
It's the only way to fly.
Its like watching “an idiot abroad” with karl pilkington
Simon Wilson & Backpacker Ben won't
@@numbersix8919 And then from off camera, you just hear, "Eh, 'scuse me, mate... You haven't seen a McDonald's around here, 'ave ya?"
I love Bald but in this video i felt like sometimes he was like putting himself above some of the locals.
Anyway he's a great traveller
Your Spanish has improved so much since the Bolivia/Mexico vids mate, impressive stuff
Spanish is somehow different between countries. Enough spanish to get by is fine, people here are friendly and help tourists out. Not like NY or other cities full of shit people.
it improved so much since the cuba episodes
really improved since he was in preschool.
He's been getting private lessons!
the UK gov train their agents well 😅
18:04 The little wave she gives as she moves off with her heavy bag is so adorable.
1:21 love the way the little Lama stopped chewing like it was thinking "Bro what you doing!? Can't you see I'm trying to eat here!?" 😂🤣
mastered the skill of talking to anyone, even in foreign languages, most real and raw vlogger on youtube! going places where no '' influencer'' would go, love it man!
I wouldn't call him a master at communication unless you're an incel with no communication skills.He's just very eccentric and comes off as confident but I can guarantee you his conversations are awkward to anybody he talks to.
Huh? Influencers definitely go to Peru.. it's one of the most popular countries to visit as a tourist in South America.
@@userseveneleven I know Bald has mentioned it in older videos about his personality. He want's to get genuine knowledge about places from the people that live there, so he tries to talk to everyone. He has said that most people are as social as you would think. Specifically when a bald white guy is speaking their language.
@@yespls4184 i doubt they would wanna go to places like these
@@pizzerialavella8599It is probably the most touristic place in South America. Do you even know Machu Pichu?
Thank you Mr Bald for helping inspire me to go see the world. I leave for a 70 day adventure around the Balkans in a few weeks. Wish me luck boys.
Update. I'm on my trip currently. Made it from Amsterdam all the way to Romanian and into Moldova. Stop in Transnistria for a day and what an amazing experience it was. Currently on a train to the South of Serbia after spending 10 days in Belgrade. Next stop is Bulgaria where I'll be traveling across the country from Sofia to Varna on the black sea.
God speed and have a safe trip. Hope it’s the first of many
Hope you will not disappear 😂
Good luck, beautiful part of the world
The souther you go after bosnia the higher the risk
just dont run around with a camera and speak english so people dont think youre a idiot tourist and youll be fine
those people in the villages... god bless them. I wish them and their children the best going forward.
Before Covid hit i was taking 2 to 3 trips around the world per year. Each time I wld meet my soul mate in a country 5000 miles from me and we wld start our adventures together. Mostly to lesser-travelled places in eastern Europe due to us not having alot of money but the exchange rates helping stretch our funds.
You remind me so much of him and what he wld have become. A total extrovert anywhere.
Those years were the peak of my life. Watching you takes me back there.
hah, gay
Possibly the best content on RUclips, just a bald dude traveling around the world. It's the fact that Bald actually talks to the locals that separates him from most travel vloggers who sleep in five star hotels and film timelapses on a beach.
That is why I have been a subscriber for years. I hate travel shows with unlimited budgets and luxury accommodations separated from the locals. I want to know what it is like to actually be there.
exactly, he's the real deal..And actually even learning the language of the country he's visiting, and he's funny, but caring, everything together..he's not a poser, like all those "travel" youtubers, who are ignorant and just want clout while sleeping in a 5 star hotel..
There is loads of RUclipsrs that travel off the beaten track.
@@wasim.ahmd. lol and hes bald too :D
Specially he is bankrupt
Ben on his way to have the worst time of his life (as always) vs Bald on his way to have the time of his life (as always)
Theres only been 1 or 2 times Bald has vocally expressed he is having a bad time and was but I cant remeber which videos and if you add getting apprehended by the Russian government thats 3 lolol that is gonna be a bad time no matter what.
It's so true! Ben always seems like he is having the worst time!
Yeah ben is a little baby
@@Jamesjmoore1818 I think the other guy that went with Harold and Bald was more insufferable.
Ben should stay home
I love all these youtubers doing travel vlogs it's amazing to visit different parts of the world via RUclips and get an idea of lifestyles and culture including food and music,fashion and living conditions but this gentleman will literally give you a full on history lesson with detailed information of the past ,present the good the bad and the ugly!!! Amazing to see and hear about the interesting locations wherever B&B decides to take us on his journey! Thank you sir for the wonderful trips and very detailed and important history lessons! Keep up the great work and enjoy your time and stay safe!
baldo and ben are the funniest dudes on this platform and the perfect travelling combo 😂 Bens always the debbie downer and baldo always in a good mood making the most boring situations funny af 👏
The fact that Bald has been learning Spanish for the past year to bring us better content is amazing! Haha (I know he probably just wanted to learn it for himself) lol
it sounded good, from a second language perspective
The fact that you believe that is the problem.......
@xcalibertrekker6693 how could believing this be considered a problem whether it's true or not?
@@xcalibertrekker6693 stoopid comment
If you learn more than a couple of languages, Spanish is just something you do. I'm not particularly interested in it and I'm sure I've devoted over 100 hours to studying it over the years.
46:19 this legend was on a mission, she was gonna get on the video no matter what. and u know? she did it, proud of her
Great video! I traveled through Peru some years back and this brings back memories. You prove that if you have courage & good intentions theres 1000x more good ppl than bad out there.
Mr Bald made me laugh so much this episode 😂 Thanks Bald great videos my friend!
I find it absolutely hilarious that Ben is literally the type of person to hate travel, yet he makes it his career to do it and somehow is able to travel with one of RUclipss OG travel historians XD
And he throws up too ... which shows he doesn't have nerves of steel, unlike Bald.😂
He's properly boring though 😂 bring back Johnny!
I'd take him over simon.@@rikbry2392
@rikbry2392 I like his humour. Very cynical, very British
I find him annoying to be honest. Not a very interesting person for someone so well travelled. Utter chav vibes.
That gentleman in the Puebla who begged you to tell the story of what had happened to his people has had his wish come true. Brilliant stuff Bald, you are not only entertaining but you are truly helping by exposing us to the lives of these wonderful humans
nothing but a beautiful comment here
In reality, the only corrupt politician is former president Castillo who is actually imprisoned for the crimes he committed.
Exactly just as the resistance who truly cares about its people often is hardly ever recognized had their voice heard outside of the propagandized version that we receive in western media.
I remember that video in particular so crazy how it stuck w us
I think Ben got Montezumas revenge?
I love Peru. I live in New York but I've visited Peru 3 times and will go back many more. Its has its dangerous areas just like anywhere but overall its a nice place.
Aha I swear you almost made me spit up my lasagna when you said“ok señor gopnik, gracias” @ 19:34. Absolute legend for learning Spanish to make that bit ever more memorable 💯🖤🤘🏽
Your videos are better than 99.9% of high production mainstream TV. Love it mate!
DO you know Bens channel?
Yes! We’re so excited to join Mr. Bald for another adventure!
please never stop with this travels! pure gold!
Watching your videos during the last several bleak years has transported me thousands of miles from myself and fills me with and overwhelming sense of confidence and inspiration. Not to mention your humor and commentary about the random things you encounter which is hilarious! The very best of RUclips, sir.
Mr Bald has got to be the most charismatic person I have ever seen
Maybe get out more
It's amazing how 49 mins can pass by so quickly, and without any boredom setting in.
Reakon Ben moaned to much
@@marleymatthews7633 what
@@blagoevski336 the guy he is with is constantly moaning its off putting
@@marleymatthews7633 meh, not a problem
That’s called good editing. Not that the content is boring or anything, I’m just saying a massive part of his videos is the editing style
I am having a bald and bankrupt binge watch. And loving the history and places you go.🔥
Man , best channel I've found in awhile! Thanks and be safe !
I'm always amazed that wherever you go the people you talk to have the same thing in common as everyone else. We all like to learn things from one another. We share help where we can and we all hate politicians. Don't stop making these travel videos they show how similar we all are with different scenery. For those of us who are unable to travel your experiences are invaluable.
Well said! 🦜from Australia
When you think everything is over, when you think your favorite RUclipsr is done. He appears from the shadows of nowhere. He gives his followers few clues as to where he is. Thanks Bald. Been here since day1.
These extended videos are amazing. The perfect amount of humour along with experience, history and information.
You ought to have your own TV programme with a production team, although your proof you donr need one and H&S would probably get in the way. Humour without offense. Very good job
Just discovered this channel and am absolutely loving it. Keep up the good work
Mr. Bald: **uploads a new vid outta nowhere**
*THE RETURN OF THE KING!!!*
Señor gopnik has escaped
It's refreshing knowing these people are so welcoming and hospitable. Peruvians look like a nice bunch.
I married a Peruvian. She is the best- funny, classy, supportive, she likes big dumb gringos- (lucky me)
and she pushed out a cool little kid 2 years ago. I'm way happier than I was with my American wife that's for sure.
Naa. Not really. Mexico the best Welcoming people. Best food, best everything 😏
If you are an American, you will be shocked at how people are so super friendly in every country outside the US. Here in the US, we are brainwashed by the talmud-vision to believe that it's so wonderful here and that outside our borders is evil and hell. How opposite that belief truly is. Want to know why? Because the government doesn't want to American citizen to know how great the world is, because if word got out, people would leave.
latin americans in general seem to be nice people, met a few of them who emigrated to spain and I can vouch for them
@@joes.8500im Sure she Likes Money too
Man you have me rolling throughout this whole video. Thank you sir!
You ability to master the languages and speaks to the people from the countries you visited is phenomenal. You’re a human google translator…love your videos👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Would be great if you could include maps of your travels to illustrate the journey!
Yea I agree. That would be great. I keep going to google map to see where he is.
Cusco Peru big city
Use Vagrant Holiday's method. It was pretty cool.
I know, I'm always on maps traveling along lol
No map does kind of include a form of mystery, it feels more like he is traveling in unknown lands
Finally he is on the road again taking us to places we could know only through geography books and international news channels. Thank you.
Wow. The clouds over the mountains.🥰
Great to see Ben back again!!! LOVE FROM SCOTLAND BRO 👊 🏴 stay safe
Holy crap, just earlier today i was wondering what Bald is up to and noticed he hadnt uploaded in a while. AND NOW HE DOES, WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY.
Me too!
I pictured him sitting in a gulag somewhere in Southeast Asia. Nice to see Peru.
it was 30 minutes since this dropped and i already can say this is certified bald and bankrupt classic
Hell yes it is!!!
This was so funny to watch as someone who speaks spanish !!!
Relax
@dd Every single Soviet video of his
@@Vasily_dont_be_silly true the soviet videos are pure gold :D
What a lot of fun! I'm enjoying your trip from NYC. Thanks for bringing us along. 😃
Señor Gopnik LOOOOOL. How do you manage to be so respectful and so disrespectful at the same time. Hahaha love your channel, cheers from Chile.
We dont have much to offer as in history as other countries might, but would Love a Bald n Bankrupt episode down here. Youd be welcome Sir.
I love how Bald can turn a boring wait for a bus ride into a good content by interacting with the locals nearby 🤣
Yup. And massive credit to him for dealing with that low airpressure and high altitude. It's not easy, jumping from a mere 90 ft (30 meters) or so from England, all the way to +10.000 ft (3300m) in Cusco. Not to forget, when making his trip to Andahuaylas ... crossing even the 13.300! ft (4.000 meters) barrier. Which is absolutely insane for a "bus" drive.
I always laugh when I see you with Ben. For a guy who travels a lot and has his own channel he seems to be in agony every moment of the trip lol.
He's just for the money doesn't even enjoy it much 🤑
I don't laugh I just roll my eyes and say a silent "oh no, not again" 😀
Ben and Benjamin
😂😂😂 true seems like it’s an absolute torture.
@@markmark2080 I feel like he's an actual british person going on adventures. Like he'd rather be at home with a good cup of tea or at the pub with mates but no. Instead he's on the side of the road in Peru, vomiting his heart out for our benefit.
This channel is truly fantastic
Excellent video!! I couldn't stop watching this as it was very good content 👍
That man’s passion for his country and what’s happening to it is heartbreaking. I’m so glad you left that in and he got to tell the story to the world.
You are quite a character and I find your videos so entertaining. You just gain a new subscriber from LA. Keep the great videos coming.
You're a great Vlogger and i look up to you man. Your videos are fun and authentic. There's a lot to take from them more than just entertainment. Keep doing you man! God Bless
I’ve been watching bald for a couple of years now and this is a video that brought much joy to me being Hispanic myself (Mexican & Honduran) seeing someone study the language and the culture by exploring it and respecting it. Love the work keep it up
I plan to go to Peru one day but I am currently vlogging from Mexico.
@@DougPVlogs dude you have touched human bones since you made this comment!
@@StukkoChonies Yes I have, my first time ever doing something like that. Thanks for watching.
Fair play to you for learning Spanish, Bald. Great commitment 🙂
The guy taught himself Hindi and Russian... Spanish is child's play by comparison.🤠
Thank you for sharing your journey, very interesting
Love the history that you weave into the story... great videos! Safe travels...
A 50 minute bald and bankrupt video is what i live for
49 min 😊
you and me my friend
@Muscleman8562 youtube isnt for everyone, keep your fantasies to yourself
Full adventure!
@@CharlieChaplinVideos and 35 seconds ☺️
Cusco, Peru! This is going to be great 🇵🇪
Awesome video mate!! Looking forward to your next adventure!!
What a great journey you make it better when your on it your Spanish is amazing 👏 keep them coming awesome stuff 👍
Senor Gopnik! Dying! By the way, you descended from Cusco to Abancay, but then ascended from Abancay to Andahuaylas. Also, Cusco is already within the Amazon River Drainage Basin. It is likely that you remained within the drainage basin during the entirety of your trip, unless you went far to the west in Peru. The Ucayali is the primary tributary river that forms the Amazon River and the Ene, Apurimac, and Mantaro Rivers are some of the tributaries of the Ucayali that you were seeing during the initial part of your journey. Between them, you would find varied elevations and, therefore, variable climates and weather. 30C in Cusco is nearly impossible, since it is at an elevation of 3,400m (11,150 feet), whereas I am sure that in Abancay, at an elevation of 2,377m (7,800 feet), it is more common. Still, I imagine that perhaps you were exaggerating the temperature a bit.
I have mixed feelings about Cusco - you brought back sad memories. I was there with friends in late 1988/early 89 when the area had been infiltrated by The Shining Path - a Marxist guerilla movement. We hitched rides in small trucks to get to Ollantaytambo, the start of the Inc Trail, which was technically off-limits to foreigners. We knew it was dangerous, but when the guerillas entered the village and executed one of our group, the terror kicked in. We fled along the Inca Trail and wild camped for a week, then followed the railway line back to Cusco over days in the darkness of night. I went back in 2012 with my bicycle and toured the country, and was amazed at the change. Let's hope political chaos never returns to like it was back in the 1980s.
Killings and terrorizing people are never the answer, and I condemn it. And we must not forget the reasons those things happened. The centralization of Peru to a single city, Lima, has been so pivotal to things like lack of development in the rest of the country since colonial times. To the extreme that poverty, discrimination, colorism, and corruption affected negatively those who lived in rural areas and were ethnically mostly indigenous. This issue has never been fully addressed, but what we're seeing now is the rise of fascist ideals to counter the plight of the protesters. Even people I know in Lima who are rational and regular people are already treating the "others" as criminals from the outset. It's scary how quickly the government can use those tactics, the ones that create a boogeyman, to shape how people perceive ideas. Unfortunately I don't think the current government has any plans to address the issues of the past and present, but are simply putting on the bandaid of "tough on crime" and the Lima people immediately bought into it.
Your experiences, what you remember is also being used to bait people into fear. Frankly, who wouldn't be afraid of random bombings, raids, kidnappings, etc. However the deeper issue is being swept under the rug. Lastly, I don't mean to paint the people of Lima as a monolith because there are people with a wider scope of the problem and hopefully they will be able to get that message across before the country either turns into a fascist state or a place where terror reigns.
@@artofwar420 It seems like the entire world is going that way. Even once free countries.
That's some story mate! What were you doing down there in the 80s?
Dozens of mechanisms are used to manipulate the minds of people ( young people / living in ‘rural’ and ‘town and fringe’ areas people) in order to prevent them from differentiating between good and evil... It is the distortion of values and principles in order to attack truth, love, family, homeland and the most intimate beliefs... The SÂO PAULO FORUM's Warfare. It is a new form of warfare. Our country are under attack !!!
@@artofwar420 exactly. The Shining Path didn't emerge in a vacuum. It was a response--an irrational and overly violent response--to an irrational and violent situation. The people had the colonial and fascist boot on their necks for all of their historical memory. And they responded. And we can't ignore the role of the US empire in all of this.
The landscape is so beautiful!
Best channel on you tube and backpacker Bens too ,mucho suerte amigos
My God this is heartbreaking. I appreciate you not editing the gentleman's message towards the end. His feelings really came through.
I liked the honesty and genuine statement he was making.
You should have bought coca leaves. They help with altitude sickness.
Thanks for keeping it going!
One of the best videos yet!
Long time viewer. My Fiancee is Peruvian and I spent 4 months there last year. Your Spanish is getting much better. I have been also learning Spanish and you doing this well is additional motivation.

I don't even know how can he even walk with balls so big
He’s been through Sinaloa and Culiacan dressed as a Mexican cowboy, Peru is a walk in the park for him 😂
he went to the taliban, peru is vacation
Even now I think Peru is probably pretty safe for foreigners, their fight isn’t with him.
@@malcolmsaunders4622 Its true, peru is one of the safer countries in south America for tourists. Most countries you will be fine just gotta be smart with your belongings and learn some Spanish.
Bald this is top gear mate. Really enjoyed this, your on top form and the year of Spanish lessons is paying of in the interactions.
So glad you are back Ben.
You have a great ear for languages. Your Spanish is very good!
I don't know why but he just makes me laugh with his humour, I love these vids. Plus they are the most informative videos of the grass roots people, the places, the History and the present Political situation of every Country he goes to. He is brilliant, best Travel vids on you- tube.
Fantastic video with precise narration.🙏💯👍
Beautiful country, great video as always
Bald videos are a rollercoaster of emotions, undoubtedly one of the best of the best on RUclips.
do you know Bens channel?
Hey Bald! I'm from Colombia and I can say that your Spanish is very good since you can communicate effectively what you're trying to say (maybe your listening is not as good yet lol). If you're planning to come to this country I could show you around. Safe travels!
I have found that with some effort it is not too difficult to learn enough Spanish to be understood, but it takes a little more time to understand Spanish. Bald seems to have learned much more in less time than I have.
I understand spanish fairly good when reading, but listening is a whole different beast especially with the different dialects and the fact that a lot of spanish speakers talk really fast.
The problem is the dialects, the speed, the slang and many things have two or three names for them.
Peanuts for example can be Mani or Cacahuates
Strawberries. Fresas or Frutilla. Papaya can be Papaya or Lechosa!
1st timer. excellent and knowledgable commentary. he makes it interesting.
great video and cool places. well done bald one.
allways looking forward to Bald video's, the travel GOAT of RUclips...rock on Bald..rock on
This is awesome! Your Spanish has improved so much! Good work. I’m loving this pivot for the channel. Latin America is so fascinating and fun. The people are kind and friendly too. Not enough people know the history of this part of the world. So excited for this! Thank you for broadcasting these stories 💜
Bald is a top class creator, always good to see a new video from him. Thanks for these.
One of these days we will have mr bald in usa and we will get him some big guns to shoot and bbq
Been following your lively broadcasts for some time now. As an american ex-pat in Prague, I absolutely loved what you said about the city and it's people. Hope to meet you here some day.
From Soviet to Asia to South America were with you Bald. Stay safe keep making videos
I look forward to these new videos more than any show on TV!! And they never disappoint.
