Cusco Day Trips: Peru's Humantay Lake and Sacsayhuaman! 🇵🇪

For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say Claire's happiest place is Peru. I don't think I've seen her with such a glow as she's had in Peru! Love it!!

It’s so wild to see how cheaply you can travel in other countries! After a long road trip in America, I realized how expensive it is here! I love watching your travels! 😊

[@robertabrams8562]

Good job! Loved your adventures in Cusco!

[@ChadandClaire]

Thank you!!

[@JP-kr5yi]

Thank you Claire for such poignant descriptions of the food you eat. Eating perfume and autumn in a cup. How fun. Vicariously traveling to Peru with you guys has been a blast. Can’t wait to see you guys at Machu Picchu

[@ChadandClaire]

Claire sure has a way with words haha. Thanks for following along with us :)

[@KarenLee-ms2th]

Great photography and I just love to see what your lens captures !!!! Wonderful memories you two are making~

[@ChadandClaire]

Thanks you Karen! We absolutely love taking photos and we are so glad we have a place to put all the photos at the end! 📸Thanks for your continued support!😁

[@ChadandClaire]

Thank you SO much Deborah! 😁

[@johnnyverano1373]

My wife and I just started following your channel on KZbin. You two have great communication skills and so relaxed, happy, and descriptive of the places you visit and the food you eat. I just read your biography on your page. You two look so young and mature at the same time. Living life to the fullest. Keep up the great videos. 🔥🔥✌️

[@calci2679]

These videos always cheer me up. Thank you for making these videos! Safe travels ❤️

[@kokomaung]

Thank you indeed for showing me an incredible nature of peru'' i enjoyed alot now i'm addicted to your fascinating videos''

[@roxanae5785]

Chad and Claire, thank you so much for sharing you adventures, you guys provide priceless information, I appreciate your research of the places you visit and the description of them,. Also, I feel I am tasting the foods you eat when describing your experience, I must say as a Peruvian, they way you guys describe everything is so accurate and honest, I can’t wait to visit Cusco again ❤️

[@finsandprops1797]

Once again great video 📸! Stay safe guys !!

[@EntyseAndBriJoRae]

You guys should totally watch the Emperor’s New Groove while you’re there! Lol. I’m sure it’s quite Americanized but the alpacas made me smile lol. Then I remembered that movie! Lol could be fun/funny on one of your rest nights! 🥰

[@derykmacleod4979]

WoW! You guys are literally up in the clouds! Cusco might be a nice place to retire to with good cheap food

[@ChadandClaire]

It would be, but we’d probably prefer somewhere we could breathe a bit better😂😅

[@syindrome]

When you are in Ollantaytambo make sure to hike to the Inti Punku Sun Gate and the Inca Quarry. Not many do it but it is definitely worth it! Likewise you should hike to the granary across from the main Ollantaytambo ruins.

[@ChadandClaire]

Ooh! Thanks for this! I found the Punku Sun gate but I can’t find the Inca Quarry. Do you know where it is?

[@mralicehsu]

I love watching your vlogs!! I was laughing at Claire’s description of the ice cream 😂 I’m planning to head out on a six month long trip next year, with just a 40L backpack, and would love a “what’s in my carry on” video from you both! :)

[@ChadandClaire]

Yes!!! That’s such a good idea! We will have to make a video on what we packed!

[@fengbi5653]

I am so in love with Claire she simply adorable ❤

[@anythinggoes8672]

Hope claire neck feels better after the bus ride and hope you both got a good rest after the very long and tiring hike. Thank you for sharing your adventures for letting us know the taste of alpaca meat. It is so funny to see alpacas spit and fight each other they are so cute !!!

[@ChadandClaire]

Haha her neck is all better now. Thanks for watching and we still laugh about the alpacas spitting at each other. Hahaha

[@constellacion]

¡Me gustan sus videos! I like your videos!

[@alohatvn]

Big like 👍408. Great video 📹my friends. Traveling and having fun 😌☺🤗is amazing.

[@elbapereira1163]

Soy peruana y sin embargo hay lugares que no conosco pero lo estoy haciendo por medio de sus videos no hablo ingles pero mis ojos se maravillan de todo la historia de mi hermoso Peru y eso que estas en la Sierra mi pais tiene tres regiones Costa Sierra y Selva con el rio mas caudaloso y largo del mundo el Amazonas

[@ChadandClaire]

Lo siento, no hablamos español. Estoy muy agradecido de que aún puedas disfrutar de nuestros videos. Gracias por compartir tu país con nosotros.

[@dianen6638]

Thank you so much! 🤙

[@MikeRheannasAdventures]

@@ChadandClaire your so very welcome guys we really enjoyed it 😊

[@jhontay9468]

Beautiful Adventure 👍

[@sheyllamcadoo1167]

This is so amazing love your videos guys!! 💛 quick question so I’ve been wanting to do this tour I’ll be there in a month.. The only thing holding me down is the drive… I’ve heard of lots of accidents. In your opinion was it a scary out dangerous drive?

[@AbelVlogsRD]

Can you tell us where to book this tour?

[@lareekline8232]

What is the song at the end of this video? Thanks for another lovely video. You two would make excellent tour guides!

[@elainemcgran8828]

you have to remember food in the US has ingredients in it that other countries don't use and certain ingredients are banned in Europe that are used in th USA, LIKE meat and chicken in the US is pumped with antibiotics. so the food will taste different, more natural and better. love these videos.

[@TaraBatista]

Love the videos guys! What a beautiful lake! If you don´t mind me asking, what was the name of the restaurant where you had dinner and ate the alpaca burger? I´m sorry, but I´ve watched the video twice and read the description and didn´t catch the name.

[@raykelly2854]

Hilarious! Great video. Thanks!

[@sebastianarielburd3119]

Thanks for sharing your informative video, would you mind sharing what agency or company did you use to book the tour in Cusco? I bet there are many companies but I would like to learn from you, thanks

[@literalleigh]

Love the video. I will do Humantay lake, any advise for the altitude and on wht to eat? Thank you

[@tor9945]

Thanks for posting! Do you have the name of the exact tour you did for the Lake? I am going to Cusco next month :)

[@ChadandClaire]

Hey Tor! We don’t have the exact name because we walked to a tour agency close to the main square and booked it in person. They then pair us with a tour group. Sorry about that! Have fun!!!

[@melox05]

Hello! Nice video btw! Did both of you had to take coca leaves or just acclimated with the altitude naturally? Im in peru rght now and planning to do rainbow mountain and lake humantay and im pretty nervous about it.

[@ChadandClaire]

Hey Mel! So on our tour they gave us something to help with the altitude and we did get some coca candy from someone else on the tour. We mainly just took our time and rested when we needed to. I have no doubt you will be okay! Stay hydrated and take it one step at a time.

[@seattlesunshine568]

Can you share the restaurant name? The burgers look amazing!

[@doradubose9290]

I want to goooooooooooooooooooooo Cuscoooooooooooo

[@ja1720]

Awesome!

[@jpcesar99]

wow again love you video but info on the place and hotel and how you did everything

[@amgpalacio]

Can you tell me what tour company you used in Peru for all of your adventures? Did you book ahead of time or did you find them once there?

[@dukkyfuzzfuzzydukk3594]

Peru!! No ceviche yet?!? I heard it was the place for it.

[@ChadandClaire]

It’s on the very top of our list! We are waiting until we hit the coast to try the very freshest of fish! 🐠 😁

[@jessicabrabham4309]

I want to do all of these tours but all of them start so early 😂

[@danielleshekoni8047]

We will be in Peru in September and are staying in Cusco a few nights. Was Saqsaywaman easy to find walking yourself?

[@ChadandClaire]

Hey Danielle! It was very easy to navigate on our own! Have a wonderful trip!

[@isabel0406]

How long were you able to stay in the lake?

[@dennalee6184]

what website did you use to book?

[@jerrykay860]

I love your videos AND your music. How do you source this music and is it free?

[@ChadandClaire]

Hey Jerry! We use a service called Musicbed and it costs $13.33 a month!

[@jerrykay860]

@@ChadandClaire It adds significantly to your production value. (personal note) I have been in broadcast journalism for many years and I find your storytelling...production value fantastic. The videos are also (as others have said) to be inspiring and informative. Keep it going!

[@lololololo1lololo]

is this a reupload?

[@ChadandClaire]

Hey Jason! No it's not! It does have a similar intro to some other videos.

[@birdman5223]

😉

[@JosefTorkelsen]

I'd love to know yr finances and how you are affording this. Also, I'm dying to know if you will go to Manchu Pichu.

[@ChadandClaire]

Hey Josef! We will definitely make a video about our finances in the future and of course we are going to Machu Picchu! 😊

[@elbapereira1163]

La gastronomia peruana es la mejor del mundo y no lo estan probando en todo su esplendor el lomo saltado el ceviche la causa la papa a la huancaina ctc ctc

No creo que los españoles hallan movido las rocas sino que ordenaron a los indígenas que la movieron con sus métodos y que obviamente los españoles físicamente no lo harían.

The stones in Sacs are pre Incan.

[@etchalaco9971]

They are Incan

[@jerrycratsenberg989]

It is so very very sad what the cruel racism of "Christianity has done to the indigenous peoples of South America and in particualr, Peru! The destruction and murder by "Christians" is horrific, monstous, and unforgiveable. The insanity of the "Catolic Church" haunts the people every day.
