How Is Machu Picchu In 2024? (Not What You Think)

There's something so special about ticking off a bucket list experience, for us, Machu Picchu Peru has always been on that list — spoiler alert, it's just as special as we hoped it would be!

As you'll hear Huber say, Machu Picchu is spiritual in a way, not just for the people of Peru, but for everyone that visits. Thankfully they've limited the visitors so it feels more intimate that I imagine it did in the past, though to be fully transparent, it still feels like A LOT of people go in at a time.

We wanted to find out about how to reach Machu Picchu from Cusco, how to buy tickets, learn more about the history and all that jazz, so hopefully we've been able to share all the info you could possibly need in this one!

Man I can watch your videos for hours. There´s no over the top shouting and freaking out the locals etc and just relaxing calm narration and visuals. Also it is nice to see people who are travelling comfortably and not trying to stretch a buck all the time. Been here since 30k sub and STILL excited about new content, you guys are the best!

I paused a movie I was watching when this alert appeared on my phone! I have been waiting for this for too long! So fabulous to see you guys at Machu Picchu. I love that place. I was there in 2004 and 2008. Went by myself in 2008 and was up roaming the grounds for 7 hours! Never got old. I didn't want to leave! This included climbing Huayna Picchu, the mountain behind the citadel which Dane zoomed to see people at its peak. Loved this vlog and can't wait for the next one!

Amazing Machu Picchu! Very awesome place to visit. Thanks guys! 😎⛰🦙

Machu Picchu is a magical place. But like any place it needs to be protected from over-tourism. Finding that right balance is the challenge. We have been . As we did, we came away from the experience with a new awareness of how fragile it can become. Hope you guys did too. Great Video. 🙏🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki

Wow! Beatiful views and impressive constructions. What a nice thing to have the history of this place told first hand by local guides. My boyfriend and I visited NZ after watching your videos🤩. We are from Argentina and we really enjoy your blogs and Instagram content!! We are thinking of new places to visit and who knows Machu Picchu may be next on the list! Looks incredible, thanks for sharing guys.

Wauw Stunning 😍 the views are just Breathtaking 🥰
No wonder its a Bucket lijst for many 😊 .

[Cupcakiiiii]

I'm very new to your channel and if I could I would probably binge watch all your videos (but unfortunately jobs are a thing so I'm catching up with you guys in a very slow pace😂). But honestly I love how you also include the local guides and interesting facts at the same time as showing us these beautiful places and your personal experience :) Also super random but I love that your videos are not overly colour corrected, as stupid as it may sound but I saw so many videos that use filters that just create unrealistic expectations when there is absolutely no need for it😅

Visited Machu Picchu about a month ago and seeing your vid was like going there again. Its a fantastic place to be. No wonder keeping it a secret.

[bookwormfaith]

oh that's a morning view alright! so interesting to hear your guide talk about the construction and history. One day I hope to make it there myself.

Amazing place. Thank you for this wonderful video.

It's where the only thing higher than the altitude is the level of amazement. It's the ancient Incan version of 'built to impress, ' a place so breathtaking that even llamas take selfies. It has been part of my bucket list and I'm hoping that somehow sooner, my travel dart would land here so I would get to explore this beautiful and historical place!

The last time I was on your channel was 5 years ago, when you were in Poland. It's good to find you again and see that you are still on your way. I greet warmly

[wanderlostfilms]

[lornah]

[liyanashahira]

I love your easy going videos guys! At what time of the year did you go? The weathers‘s glorious!

[AlexanderGrant]

Your vlog dovetailed with "Travel the World with Matt" (My son's vlog) about the exact location in the same week. I booked and planned to travel there in 1978 but never got there!! I was an airline staff member and used the rebated airfare to get there. All flights were fully booked with fare-paying pax at the time, so I did not make it. Thanks for your series on Machu Picchu.
