and we get the front view on the second floor so i heard people say that these
buses in peru don't have bathrooms but put this up this is a tray brought us our meal
and this is popular in peru
what's up guys from lima peru we've been here for a couple days but now we are leaving and we're
going south on a bus to parakas and in parakas is an island called the poor man's galapagos
so that's what we're about to do but right now we're at the bus station waiting to get
on a bus called who's del sur so when you're in peru surprisingly i didn't know this but
the buses can be actually very dangerous they're really old and they can break down
and this the driving is crazy but also they can be hijacked or robbed and that's actually
kind of a common thing and so there are only a few reputable companies that you can go with
when you want to take a bus to get to other cities and one is peru hop it's kind of like a touristy
way of doing it or the one that we're about to take is this one right down here it's called
cruz del sur so i thought i would show you guys a little tour of the bus and show you guys kind of a
ride and everything so that you know if you're coming to peru what it would be like if you go
on one of these you should save a little bit more money if you do this than if you do peru because
you're paying for all the belts and whistles if you do it that way so let's get on the bus
it's still dripping down the sides it's so comfortable that's a big seat and we get the
front view on the second floor so we're gonna have some awesome views on the way there yeah
okay so we just got on our bus and it and it's moving right now i actually read the time as
1 30 and we were just sitting there at the cafe not doing anything
and it was almost 1 30 when we decided to come down here but the bus was actually leaving
at 1 15 and we had to stand in a line and everything
luckily it left late but the other thing about that is that we have checked in our big bags
ahead of time and they were already on this bus so they were gonna leave with or without us
our bags and get to our destination four hours south of here and if we missed that bus our bags
would have arrived and then we wouldn't have been able to get a bus for another
four hours probably or maybe until tomorrow so who knows if we would ever see our bags again
so we were very relieved once we could get on this bus and i'm glad i did not leave on time
things run a little late around here i guess yeah and it worked in our favor
buenos aires
so i heard people say that these buses in peru don't have bathrooms but look at this
foreign
so luckily the lady gave us the seats in the front of the bus so we have the
best view in the house so this is one of the nicest buses that either of us have been on
we have these really padded huge seats
lots of leg room here and then it each comes with a blanket it's like
being on an airplane but a good one but better and then so you have all this leg room like
this and then you even have this which folds down and you can put your feet and kind of
lay down another cool part here when you put this up this is a tray for when you eat
but i'll show you that when we get some food all right so now we have a four hour bus ride
to paracas but we'll show you a few things along the way including our dinner we have
no idea what's included but she said that there was komeda included on this thing so
on the intercom we heard a rapist so maybe that's what we're getting hopefully not i'm
hoping it's guinea pig i'm hoping it's cow heart those are some popular dishes here in peru so
no they would never serve such delicacies on this bus okay we've been on the bus for
about one hour maybe and they brought us our meal not sure if this is the only meal
not sure what it is but let's check it out all right this is very hot
what is it looks like good so it looks like chicken and sauce and sweet potato and rice
is that cilantro that's alex's favorite and then
some veggies and then you get a little cake here it kind of looks like a coffee cake a little
crumbly cake but not a coffee cake it looks like some carrot and potato or something some cilantro
and now we get to try
the tray
it's like a hotel
i guess these go on your legs and they keep it there so it doesn't fall off
i'm guessing if you go this way probably this way
i'm not sure if that's right it looks like it looks
okay now i got it not the legs the chair it hooks into the chair
all right beautiful
yep
yeah tastes like airplane food not good not horrible
get a bit of three out of ten all right
and he just served us some drinks we had a choice of regular coke cola or inca cola
and this is popular in peru but we haven't had it yet i mean look at that
inca cola but it's bright neon yellow let's try this
um it doesn't taste like cola at all it has like a bubblegum flavor
what do you think it tastes just like bubblegum so for all you out there who love bubble gum drink up
thankfully i bet kids love this okay so we're two hours into the trip now and would you have
thought that peru looks like this pretty much the whole drive it's looked basically like a desert
looks like a desert out there
um
so we just arrived to parakas and we are pleasantly surprised just a small little
town and now we just arrived at the beach perfect time for sunset and look at this
so
so we just got on our bus and uh
all right it's time for q a the first one comes from glade cornelius
if lockdown hadn't happened do you think you would have done all that exploring that have been
that you've been doing in the last few months definitely not it would have been much different
much different we got deeper than we would have gotten if lockdown hadn't happened
we would have seen some things that were open that we weren't able to see this time
but also we saw a lot of things that we would not have seen if we didn't travel so slow
so yeah it's been a great experience in that way so covered wouldn't have happened we would have
kept traveling around south america but it would have just been at a way faster pace because of
covid we were forced to slow down really get immersed in the culture experience the food
see all the different places so yeah we're actually grateful for covid in a way there's
a lot of good things that came from it yeah um we created this channel kind of in the midst of it
so yeah next question comes from my two cents when does peru open for international tourism
we are hearing yeah we're hearing different things the last we heard which sounds like it
could be true is the middle of next year so 2021 the middle before it was the beginning
like maybe in january at the start of 2021 but now they pushed it back to the middle who knows when
the vaccine comes out and things in the world change rapidly depending what happens uh but
yeah i would bank on not buying tickets to peru until like midway through next year our taxi just
arrived so we have to get going but we're gonna finish this q a in the car so see you in a second
all right we made it to our taxi last question comes from fox how do we find more information
about the glass stone you stated like exact location and name looks awesome the sky looks epic
it was epic it's an epic experience um so it's actually not done yet but it should be pretty
