there it is right in that crevice there inverted triangle entrance
into the cave
all the streets look like this this is the center of Ollantaytambo
is peru
we're alex and lindsey two travelers who are exploring south america
when suddenly a strict lockdown began leaving us stuck abroad
we've been here for months and even though lockdown is lifted things in peru
are far from normal we're documenting the whole thing and
sharing it with you
good morning guys from urubamba we are about to leave here and go to
oyantaytambo wow the words in peru the
quechua words they're very hard it took us a while to get those
so we're gonna get in our taxi we're gonna see a few things along the way
first some coffee
okay so we just arrived we have a little walk on this railroad
before going up and it should be about a 10 or 15 minute
walk to get to Naupa iglesia wait till you see this place
we're going up here
it's not the glacier was built somewhere between urubamba
and ollantaytambo and it seems like it was built
kind of in the middle of nowhere it's not really close to anything else
which is one reason that it's not visited a lot so it's actually a waka
which is a quechua word for a place like a
spiritual place and there's a lot of speculation as the
what this is
so it looks like we have to climb about a hundred of these
rock stairs to get up to it and these stairs go through some
terraces kind of like everywhere else in a lot of
these inca or pre-inca terraces everywhere
so here we are it begins with a inverted triangle entrance into the cave
so supposedly there is a lot of energy here and when you go inside
you can feel it and that might be part of why they
built it here so if you touch it you can feel the energy of the rock
if you're inside this cave you can feel an energy
different than you feel just walking around every day
so this place is pre-inca not even inca it's been here for a long time
they can tell by these huge megaliths it's different than the inca structures
and i guess the inca couldn't have done something like this
and people also think that it was a portal to another dimension
and one reason is because of this door that leads to nowhere
you can use the energy here to pass through to the other side with this door
okay we didn't get a ton of time here they're kicking us out we only got five
minutes but there it is
so cinco minutos it's not really enough i don't know why cinco is better
than the ace it doesn't really do anything
but we got sync up so showed you what we
could and that's all we get following us to
get us out of here
so after a quick pit stop it was gonna be
all day it was going to be we were going to take our time with it and
i don't know have a good day at napa galicia
but now we're going to just have to make our way
to oyente the next town over where we're probably going to spend the
next few days

of all of our videos we're traveling around peru
and then all around the world to share with you
so we're heading to oyente tambo right now and the main reason we are heading
to this town is because we have a two-day trek planned starting tomorrow
so one of our subscribers uh she wasn't able to make it to peru
she had a trek planned she had all these plans for peru
but because of kovitt she wasn't able to make it so she was nice enough
to give it to us so we're able to do like a three-day trek basically for free
so she told us about this probably three months ago but we weren't really able to
follow through on it because of lockdown so now that lockdown is lifted
we can do this trek and we're really excited about it
now we're on our way to oyente tambo alex has a hard time pronouncing that
one something about that it is kind of tricky
um we're going there and we're going to get to our hotel and hopefully show you
a little bit around the town we won't have a ton of time but we'll show you a
little bit of it before we get out and do this trek and
hopefully by the time we leave oyente tombo alex can pronounce it
try to say it
difficult yeah so we just asked our driver who is from there
it's oyen taitambo good job so now i won't butcher it anymore
so because of security to get into oyante tambo we had to get out of the
car and walk part of the way and now he's
meeting us on the other side after he goes through
all right we just arrived at apu lodge let's check it out
hammocks let's show you our room really quick
so it looks like we have a queen-sized bed here
and a balcony which overlooks the mountains
and the garden which i'm really excited about all right let's show you the
balcony really quick
so you have an amazing view from the balcony here if you're on the second
floor below us is a nice little garden and
above us are the mountains and then in the
mountains you see a couple ruins from here and then there
are also some ruins behind us that are actually pretty close
it sounds like most of the things are closed but we're still going to show you
the city because it looks pretty cool if it's even considered a city it
looks like a little tiny peruvian town it's pretty cool so just
walking around is going to be pretty interesting
she's washing her clothes in the river
wow look at this girl washing her clothes
in the river there in the u.s kids who are probably
16 years old 18 years old still don't do their laundry their moms do
and look at this little girl doing laundry in a river
and she's not even with her family or anything she's just doing that
herself she has her leg put across onto a rock on the other side
and she's just hovering above it like she knows
what she's doing yeah wow so that was right outside of our hotel
and now we're walking to the town all around us are these
beautiful little streets they're all so narrow and there are cobblestone
basically it just it looks like a fairytale land
so it's sunday a lot of things are going to be closed but
we have a feeling there might be a few things open so we can try some food
so let's see what we can find and show you a little of this town
all the streets look like this it's very picturesque
and then we're walking this way and it's the same
it looks like a lot of these places are open actually
so a lot of things are closed because of the pandemic and
also because of sunday but there are a few open when you go to the main area of
this town this is the center of oyente tumble
you feel like you're in a little park there's all these cute little benches
and trees you can really see the mountains on all sides
oh yeah ruins ruins ruins mountains mountains
ruins ruins mountains incredible wow we're so close to these
runes and they're all over
a lot of special a lot of speculation we are staying at
appu lodge in
lake tahoe what is it an amazing view from the uh porch porch deck what do you
call balcony so you've amazing these
beautiful little streets they've they're full of
stones i don't know what to say but you know what i mean
like so yeah now we're way well now we're away
