Morning guys it is day two here in Cusco, and I think we are officially acclimatized. I'm feeling fine yesterday
We were feeling a little out of breath
It was we were a little bit nervous about Cusco because of the everyone talking about altitude sickness and everyone does react differently
But just to you guys know like our whole group
We were only a little bit out of breath our eyes were a little bit dry last night
But we've all broken up feeling fine, so hopefully it stays like this
But it wasn't as scary as I thought I think a lot of people they tell you all the worst that could happen
But we've pretty we feel pretty good. You feel fine this morning
Good but uh we'll go to the Sacred Valley today
This should be good see some Inca ruins we now have new additions to our backpacks
little llamas or alpacas
cute
Didn't realize we're gonna be doing a few stops on the way before we head down to the sacred valley and we've come out to
a and almost christ the redeemer type statue
Probably half the size and not even half the size very tiny compared to the other one
But here it is here, and it overlooks cusco
It's beautiful
And then i'm sure the view point
Wow, this is such a beautiful view you can really just see how Cusco is in like this valley
Come to another viewpoint here in a forest and I see there's just a local family having some lunch
But I think we're gonna find some inca sites up here
So fascinating walking through these old Inca whoa slipping through these old Inca ruins
This was an old temple to the Southern Cross and just the carvings is just insane whoa keep slipping
Guys we've just made it to the sacred valley we've come to a viewing point because that's it down there Wow
It's so beautiful
And we're gonna be hiking
Up one of these mountains in a couple of days time
Will we?
Yeah, because we look down the sacred Valley
That just shows how high we need to get
Guys we've just come up to a local community called Amira, and we're gonna be spending the afternoon here, which is absolutely incredible
We've invited inside. We're gonna have some lunch with them
Maybe dress up in their traditional dress and just learn more about their culture
This is gonna be a very exciting and interesting afternoon. I love doing this stuff
Coming into their house for lunch
The roof is so much smaller
Some fried potato with vegetables
Fried potato always wins
Cheers
Is this a New Zealand thing?
Next stop is quinoa soup
I'm like a really hip up-and-coming
Oh yea with the denim jacket
Oh you look so cute
Cute!
So cute probably has the best beanie yeah
He does. Should we choose one?
So they make these all here. All natural as well.
Let's try some beanies made right here
These are, this is llama no alpaca
I keep calling them llamas
How is that one?
well
I was thinking. Do you even want do you want like a plain colored one or do you want a coloured on? I think I want to play another one whoa?
Let's just try it and I want one with the dangly ears
Oh this one's a bit of a tight squeeze
I just love how colorful the traditional, well it not even traditional dress they just wear this normally like we thought it would be for a special occasion
But this is everyday Joe
That was such an awesome experience
We've stopped off our road trip to get some road trip snacks
As the locals do okay, I might skip this one
Oh my gosh, it's like the sticks through its mouth and they still have their teeth
Joy you're a guinea pig
How does guinea pig tastes
Does it taste like me
See you buddy
We've just arrived at this old Inca town, and it is so cute. I love this hotel
We are completely surrounded by mountains the place is called alliant and hanbô. This is a little room for the night
It is so cool I can not wait you to go and explore this place
So this is the last bed we have
For a couple of days cuz by the way guys we are doing that Machu Picchu inca trail hike thing
That starts tomorrow, I'm bit nervous
Hello
You're just the cutest little thing
I'm sorry. Guys we're just walking around alliant and hanbô, and this has got to be the coolest town we've walked through in Peru
Yea super ancient
Also up here Inca ruins just
Just there, and then we're just walking through here. I've got a stream, and then you just look down these walkways
Pizzeria that is a good last meal
All righty guys we've now come back to our room
And I just had a shower
And I made sure I enjoyed it because I don't think we're getting a shower for now what three days is it Steve?
Tomorrow we start our hike to Machu Picchu. We are very excited a little bit nervous. I think we'll be fine
I've started to pack what they do is I actually give you these little bags
And you're only allowed to bring five kilos with you including your sleeping bag so two kilos
Two kilos would be the sleeping bag, and the three kilos will be what we want for the next few days
So I'm working that out now, and I need to make sure I don't forget anything
Need to enjoy this bed. This is probably gonna be the toughest thing We've ever done
Yea because we are unfit and we just ate a pizza for dinner
and lasagne
Sure like the geckos trip thing said you guys should plan for like three months go on hikes
You know eat healthy, but instead
And
Business-class, yeah, we are really really ready for this trip
But are yea
Guys if your watching this video, and your nervous to do it if we can do it you can do it
Yeah, that's the biggest thing
But we'll tell you all about our trail tomorrow and everything that we're going to get up to 5 a.m.. Wake up go
And um
