Brilliant guys!
I’m planning my trip to Peru, which will happen May 27 - June 12 and your videos are helping me so much! Thank you very much!

By the way, can you share which tour is this? Where did you reserve it?!

If you ever come to Brazil, it would be awesome to give you guys some tips!

Warm regards,

Gustavo

Great video, nicely done, I especially enjoyed the music that fit the area well, (thxs for listing the songs too). Being high in the mtns can be a spiritual experience indeed.

Hi! Amazing video! When did you travel to Titicaca? I was planning on crossing Bolivia to Peru in a few weeks but the US has Puno and Titicaca at a “do not travel” zone due to civil unrest.

Hey guys, love your channel! Came to your channel because I’m doing the salkantay trek in 2 weeks with the same company! Just wandered how much I’ll struggle with this island without speaking Spanish and if I should do this too? Thanks!

[sanu]

Hi Kitti and Jon, Thanks for all the Cusco videos. How did you book your stay on the moving island?

[aleksandarilievski]

hi, great video guys with a lot of information, i have one question, did you book your trip from Puno with an agency or you just went to some place where you can take a boat to the islands ? thank you kindly for your time, once again great video :)

[enneyehs]

I liked your information about how this one indigenous vegetable that grow only in the island of amantani. And then how tourism is really their main source of income. So, are credit cards usable in the markets or stores? Do you need to bring local currency to purchase goods?

[EfiDiurna]

I was debating on should I do stay in Amanti or not, after seeing this I think I should. Thanks for the video tho.

[GiovannaBraganza]

Can you please drop the link for booking the homestay?

[katietomlin]

I’m curious know where the Urus go to the bathroom. Hopefully not in the lake.

[JosephLanteigne]

Why did you not mention the price that you paid for the night
