A Tour of Lovely Ollantaytambo, Peru in the Andes Mountains

[@rubiduran4959]

I just love seeing the water

[@seeitwithme1412]

I love that little village. It is magical. We ate at Apu Veronica and it was great!!!

[@reaganpoole7779]

Love the video. I’ve been there and a few other places on Peru and stayed at that hotel. It’s beautiful

[@Techdog47]

Another awesome video, you are definitely making me want to explore more, keep up the great work!

[@joelwalberg9802]

I'm in the process of planning my South American honeymoon and I appreciate that these videos have been done. Hopefully COVID isn't a huge issue in June 2022.

[@sigepcane]

Great stuff! My girlfriend and I stayed in Ollantaytambo last year after our visiting Machu Picchu. We loved that town and want to go back again soon!

[@h_fernand]

Cool video Gabriel, you are also close to Choquequirao, that was discovered a few years ago and the New York Times called it "The Other Machu Picchu". There are many treasuries to see in Peru.

[@jayandrade2785]

love your videos! I've always dreamed of going to the Andes and living there.

[@CloudlessWinter]

Awesome video! Which guest house did you stay at? I can't seem to find it on any site (airbnb/hostelworld/booking.com/etc)

[@chrysina2011]

6:49 the black cat, funny lol

[@slappagon]

Traveling through you Gabe!

[@lauracobos5977]

Amazing Place, beautiful video! Thanks

[@johnclermont4244]

Great videos, continue your amazing adventure

[@Preppygrad]

Wow man, you really live the Adventure! Great videos!

[@Edgesofearth]

- Neat little town! :-)

[@Heyheythere0]

Oh wow, this is crazy! I've just arrived in Ollantaytambo and was searching through your videos to get some ideas on what to do first - only to see that I'm sitting in the exact same hotel, in the exact same room you're in at the beginning of the video!! Spooky! :)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Ha ha, whoa, that's wild! Have fun, it's a pretty cool guest house isn't it?

[@stephrainspirite9985]

what is the name ofhotel plz?

[@rogerharris8081]

Taking the same hyper video saying the exact same things! Wow, you must be him!

[@anacecilia2982]

Awesome video! I'm Peruvian living in Japan for 11 years and I was very thrilled to watch this. Got to this video from your other account Gabriel Kundalini and I'm taking notes for when I travel there. I'm planning to go to Bali soon so I'd like to know if there's a good place to stay there. Any suggestions? Good work in both channels by the way! Namaste

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool, thanks Ana. I have some Bali videos as well. Here´s one of a guesthouse where I stayed in Ubud: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJbIhWmpja6orLM And try to check out the Gili islands if you want some relaxing beach time. I went to Gili Air which was quite nice, here´s my video from there: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4jYqnqEYqtqhKM Have an awesome time, definitely an awesome place to visit!

[@anacecilia2982]

+Gabriel Traveler Great! Thanks a lot!! By the way, if you're planning to stay a few more days, I'll recommend to go to Cajamarca which is north. Lots of things to see, nice waterfalls, spring waters, beautiful architecture as well as landscapes. Hope you're enjoying your time in Peru. Have fun!

[@TrueMexico]

Great video. Near the end of the video you are explaining about the trails, below you is what looks like some kind of circular theatre or a place for a market? Seems to have layers for people to sit on? Do you know what this is?! :)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Hmm, I didn't notice that at the time I guess. Not sure what that's about.

[@hoz49]

+True Mexico Looks like a bullring to me.

[@TrueMexico]

That's what I thought too, but it seems too small for bull charges etc. I reckon it's to do with animals...

[@TrueMexico]

I think it's a redondel for horse training, if you google image those things it looks like that. My best guess.

[@marqetable1]

Im travelling in Peru in 2017, just wondering what camera you are using to film this? do any of the locals have any problems with being filmed?

[@skorpion31]

Hi Gabriel, wich its the name of the hotel guest house there in Ollantaytambo, thanks and cool videos!!

[@waynesmith6327]

pretty cool

[@lf0153]

What's next for you Gabriel?

[@scca1408]

love the place where you at but You've never lost?. Those streets look so similar and like a little labyrinth. Cool!.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

It´s a very small town, hard to get lost there, but I did get lost when I was exploring the backstreets of Cusco because it´s a bigger area of winding lanes.

[@jFranco1994]

Do you make your reservations for these places you stay before getting there or do you just sort of look around for them?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I usually book ahead of time online, I use Hostelworld.com, booking.com and agoda.com mostly.

[@jFranco1994]

Thanks for the info! I watched all your videos on Peru to prepare for my trip later this year. Keep it up all over the world

"The Inca was busy decorating (his domain) with great buildings. It was because of his command that the superb fortress was built, which was begun by his father and that way were the palaces of Tambo built the ruins of which still exist"- Father Bernabe Cobo -1653 "the buildings...the INCAS turned into fortresses, temples, into roads...were many and required excessive work as evidenced today by the ruins and remains left in Cuzco, in Tiahuanaco and in Tambo (Ollantaytambo)- Father Jose Acosta XVI century chronicle

[@hoz49]

You got me Gabe. I made a reservation for May 13-16. It's the weekend of the festival celebrating Señor de Choquekillka, patron saint of Ollantaytambo. Should be another BIG time in Ollanta. I haven't been able to find what festival you are observing now, unless it is something leading up to Nov 1st which is All Hallows Day. BTW, have you learned any Quechuen greetings? Aren't the Inca Quarries up that trail?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

YES, I think I discovered the Inca quarries in the course of the hike today, or at least rocks that came from it. Working on that video but not sure when I'll get the chance to upload it, as I'm on the move again tomorrow....I never did find out anything about the festival, I think it might have been something local as opposed to a national holiday but I really don't know. Not many local English speakers around here.

[@hoz49]

+Gabriel Traveler New adventures, have a good trip. Be careful at MP. People are complaining about biting bugs. Long sleeves, pants and some deet may be in order.

[@h_fernand]

+Hoz Holla The most important event in Cusco is the reenactment of Inti Raymi, or the sun festival, a colourful celebration of the winter solstice that is the most important Incan holiday, which is celebrated every year on June 24th.

[@stanrobin4379]

LUCKY MAN!

[@flaminglaughter]

Stan Brien May be lucky but it wasn’t luck that brought him to explorations. He planned on it.

[@stephrainspirite9985]

what hotel is this please?

[@coisalinda2424]

Nice 👍🏽

[@luchin184]

7:05 that is a Mototaxi

[@dennymk6454]

Less of you talking and more sights would be better
