WOW......MACHU PICCHU IS AMAZING
IS BEAUTIFUL..
Muchas gracias por visitar mi bello país. Siempre serán muy bien recibidos
Thank you!
What a beautiful train - especially with those big windows and skylights. Never ever seen a train with a balcony either. I could definitely do with a pisco sour right about now. I love train adventures, although never been on such a posh one as the first class you're on. I'm totally up for it! Beautiful footage. 😀
It was pretty neat to see the IncaRail train because I took that up to Machu Picchu way back in 2002. The first class train was way more swank than the one I was in! Passing by the Urubamba River brought back memories of whitewater rafting down those rapids. The drone shots of Cusco were pretty epic. Can't believe how much expansion has happened in Aguas Calientes since the early-2000s!
Oh wow this looks amazing, my favourite mode of travel is by train, you get to see so much. Also first class looks fantastic
This road train has categorized the second better view in the planet ( first was Austria). What amazing. Experience
This video was put together beautifully, with great footage, music, timing and narration. Thank you.
That's so cool they have that train going out there - we always want to head out there since they've talked about closing off traffic (or the majority of it) to Machu Picchu since it's such a sacred and respected destination. I'm excited to watch the bus ride up and exploring MP -c/t
I'm looking forward to this trip!!!
thtas an epic train ride to an more than epic place. Machu Picchu still stands on the top of my bucket list , but it will takes time to go there so thank you for sharing and let me dream about this place. so impressive thanks
Your video is a gem. It is almost spiritual, loooove it!
What an awesome journey to Machu Picchu! It is so high on my bucket list. I hope to get to go soon! Thanks so much for sharing :) I have subbed to follow your adventures. You're way fancier than me so I can't wait to live vicariously through you!
One half of us has been there and the other half really wants to go, maybe this year actually. Thanks for all the tips. The train looks great :).
I love that song you use, "Beautiful Day".
I travelled 7 years ago. Very lovely travel. Urubamba river below the mountains where Machu Bicchu is there.
I know that these sort of places are more flooded with tourists these days than ever but they are still something we have to see at some point. Btw, love the fact that you took a local train rather than rented a car...
It's always fun ticking off bucket list items!!
@2:57 what a moment. great shot.
Just amazing! Viva el Peru carajo!! 😁
Thanks for share this experience with us. I felt as living into the train. Different places to know in Cusco. Someday I think travel to Cusco. It will be soon, I don't know if I'll travel alone or with my partner, only God knows the answer. Congratulations friends for this experience in cusco is awesome. Machupicchu is the best place to know. I'm feeling mixed feelings, when I am going for the jungle. I have lived for seven years in San Martin other beautiful place in Peru. For me the jungle is the better because I love animals, monkeys, parrots, insects, possums, birds, spiders, etc....the list never ends I remember the moments in the jungle. I hope to return with a new ideas....as I said, I hope to raise insects and other animals and I think also I will plant several plants as heliconias, some trees, orchids etc...because I know that trees are the unique element to save planet.
Ahhhhhh! This is my number one dream destination - you are on my dream trip! I'm so excited for you, and I'll be soaking in all the advice and tips you post. I hope to do this before my next birthday - whether or not I have to go by lonesome!
What an experience, first-class train car, almond tea, musicians playing and of course the views! As you said - I also would have been sad to leave this train 😃
Totally! The train was amazing 😍
@@TheNearAndAway you guys make awesome travel videos. Do you know the name of the band playing on the train.
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Amazing! Glad you both got to enjo it. Thx for sharing the journey :)
Travel by train ... the only civilized way to travel these days (especially in the first class cabin!!). Such a perfect way to get to your bucket list destination!! You guys are making some seriously good content and deserve so much more from RUclips to promote your content! I noticed one thing that might help. I noticed you’ve only got CLOSED CAPTION from RUclips auto generation and a lot of it is mislabeled. If you go thru and add it in yourselves, RUclips algorithm will recognize that and give your videos a boost because of the CC check in the box. I’ve noticed a big search boost in each of my videos since implementing this. Anyways, love your stuff and keep inspiring! dan
Thanks for the closed caption tip! Do you just do English CC, or have you played around with any foreign language? I wonder if there would be an additional bump for each language added. 🤔Thanks again for watching!
The Near & Away I’ve only done the English version and saw a fairly significant increase in views because the video started ranking much higher in search. When I saw how well it worked on one video, I literally went thru all of my videos and spent the time to add my own captions. And the results have been very good. Crazy how something that seems pretty insignificant can give you a boost in the algorithm. If you added another language, I’m guessing that’s even better but have not tried (yet 😉)
oh you guys did it! I so much want to go to Machu Picchu, the colors are so beautiful and i love your choice of music
Been there done that best trip ever.
😍😍BEAUTIFUL TRAIN AND WHAT EXPERIENCE! ♥🚂🌲🍀🌺☀🏔🏞
wow that looks amazing, I hope to one day comeback to my motherland and be able to explore it.
What an awesome trip! This trip is on top of my to do list as well! I think the first class train ride was the right choice! A new supporter here! 👍👍😎 ~Maverick
Perú es otro nivel !!
LINDO PERU
Loved the video!
Even though you can trek directly to the ruins,i'd say the train is a better alternative to travel.
Love from Romania
I’ve heard the trek is amazing! We were on a tight schedule and didn’t have the time (or gear) for the trek…so the train was a better option for us. Really was one of our favorite experiences from South America! Thanks for watching!
Wonderful journey
wow...so this is actually on our bucketlist as well, we may try to do it at the end of this year. we knew it would be a trek to get up there so we'll have to plan for it. thanks for showing us the first class cabins on the train cuz we'll probably never pay for that if we don't have to LOL thanks for sharing this! ~sara ct
You chose a great way to get there :-) I like the way you combined the video shots with the music and the final result is great. Hope to go there one day :-)
Great and interesting travel videos! Keep up the great work! Best regards from Germany
Awesome trip.
Very nicely done! We actually 'lived' in Cusco for a month in October to explore the Valley and loved it there. And of course we took a train ride to Machu Picchu as well - but not first class, so we had to stick out our camera to catch the curve from the bathroom windows :)
Next time, we want to do your train ride, seems very cool!!
And Aguas Calientes is such a tourist trap, don't you think?
Thanks for watching! Yeah, Aguas Calientes was a total tourist trap!
Amazing videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great Blog!
Thank you!
Wow! That is one fancy train! Great way to get there! I, Alex, got to Aguas Calientes by going on a 12 hour minibus ride through perilous mountain roads, worked out cheaper and was quite the experience but the train would have been much easier. Did you guys think about walking up to Machu Picchu? I did that, it nearly killed me haha but a good sense of achievement when you had made it up!
Anyway, hope you guys had a magical time up there! Thanks for sharing.
Very nice and interesting video!
Thanks for watching!
Did you mention that you took the train directly to Agua Caliente? I am not sure if they offer this trip without the use of a bus for a portion of the trip. When visiting Machu Picchu What time during the afternoon did you go?
I LOVE trains. I have taken trains in 3 continents (Asia, Europe & NZ) and I haven’t been disappointed even once. It is a lot better way to see the country. The first-class looks pretty amazing (even better than European trains).
If you don’t mind me asking, what equipment do you use to shoot the videos? :)
Nice video
I like the story-telling quality of this video mixed with the Peruvian music. Nice touch. The views from the balconies look amazing. Would you recommend saving Macchu Picchu for one full day instead of seeing it the same day you arrive, then? Or could it be done on the same day?
It's definitely possible to do it all in a single day, we saw a lot of people doing that...but an extra day was nice!
I visited Machu Picchu as a Peace Corps Volunteer on a limited budget. I sat in "coach" riding with the natives and their livestock. I spoke with them, I engaged with them, I learned about them. I couldn't afford the bus up the mountain so I climbed it, the way the Incan's did. I walked in their shoes and saw their Heaven from their eyes. I don't begrudge you your luxury but I hope that you understand that I think you missed out on an even more amazing experience by feeling, "Sad to get off the train."
Did you purchase your train tickets in Cusco? Or did you purchase ahead online? Love your video. So helpful. Thanks
I think we bought them online a week ahead of time…I don’t remember it being too crazy. We never planned too far in advance usually…so it was probably last minute 😞
❤️🇲🇦
Oh! I thought you were going to COSTCO1....
Hey! I just rode with PeruRail and it was a really terrible experience. I just want to let people know that in 2024 that its a scam, so that they don't have to have the small experience as me. Overpriced, mean staff, the bus was smelly, gross, and bumpy. Overall, just avoid PeruRail. IncaRail really is so much better! Good choice on taking that train.
Thanks for the info! Yeah we really considered PeruRail, but I think the station was a bit out of town…so we lucked out I guess because IncaRail departed from Cusco. Sorry you’re experience wasn’t awesome 😞
So you guys took a train from Cusco? All the way to aguas calientes? I’m looking in the website but they’re won’t offering a direct train ride
Spanish
IncaRail es la competencia de PeruRail. Inca Rail usa trenes mucho mas antiguos (de 1908 . . . claro, reconstruidos) y sencillos que su competencia (PeruRail).
IncaRail ha tratado de copiar el servicio que brinda PeruRail, pero se nota la diferencia.
Hola Juan
Qué tren me recomiendas? Inca Rail o Peru Rail? Y cuando mes es mejor a visitar Machu Picchu y cómo es el clima por favor?
What the price of this train?😊
congratulations for an excellent video! greetings from the family of MonaTekeda! visit us!
Madam is very good looking 😍🌹
Perurail is better. Hiram Bingam train 👍🏻
Yeah, I’ve heard great things about the Hiram Bingham (and it’s connection with the Belmond). But I think you have to pick it up a little out of town…so we hit the easy button and picked up the train in Cusco. Thanks for watching! 🤙🏻
You were both so lucky to be born hetero and white. Otherwise, your lives would have been very different. With this and all of your videos, you thrust your ridiculous advantage in our faces.
Guys dont lie please ,aguas caliente its sucks
Awesome video. Did you guys book the train ride and tickets prior to going to Cusco?
We generally don't plan too far ahead, but for the train, I think we booked a couple of weeks ahead...this trip was on the spur of the moment, when we had a couple of weeks free before needing to be back in Bogota.
