Great review of Cusco!! Im taking a trip ...3 days trip! Lol 😂 Im from Peru..living in the states for a long time. This video makes me so happy! Thank you! For appreciating my country! I love Peru...is always in my❤.

[@doradubose9290]

I miss Peru and the good energy you feel in cusco is something you can't describe you have to be there to understand it.... i went for a few weeks and stayed for 3 wonderful years

[@RyanFila]

The Andes Mountains out there are insane! Wow, 3 years!? You probably have some good insight.

[@yuryjara9777]

Wooo... que Genial Cusco es mistico y maravilloso me encanta!!!! La energía que se percibe es genial.

I'm about to go in May 2024 and I've watched loads of tip videos.. your video is great! Thank you!! I'm so excited ❤ Aussie solo trekker x

[@billycausgrove9657]

We go to Peru every year on Mission Trips (Mainly in Pucallpa & Lima). My time in Cusco was the greatest time of my life! Can't wait to go back next year! I would like to go to Peru with you one day. 😅

[@RyanFila]

Such a special region! I would love to put together a community trip with a few people and have a retreat type of situation! Let me know if that's interesting to you 😃

[@doracampos2088]

I got back from beautiful Peru yesterday. I hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu for 4 days and 3 nights. Definitely one of a lifetime experience. Machu Picchu was beautiful and the Rainbow Mountain too. I miss Cusco already 🥹🦙💕🇵🇪

[@RyanFila]

Such an incredible place!! I'm glad you had an amazing time and already miss it a bit ❤

[@mscrayray8988]

Love watching your videos during my lunch breaks! Great way to break up the day

[@RyanFila]

Haha it gives you a quick get away? I'm impressed you watch even tip videos like this!

[@manoftheserengeti3052]

This is excellent. I have exactly three nights in Cusco and my second day I will do MP. I’m doing MP in one day and devote a couple days to the sights and sounds of Cusco.

[@RyanFila]

Yes! I hope this was insightful and adds value to your overall trip 😃

[@philbecker4676]

I'm moving to Cusco to teach English in July, can't wait and this video makes me so excited!!!

[@RyanFila]

Heck yeah! Cusco is one of my favorite places in the world. It's incredible!! Enjoy your time there 😊

[@josephjacobs6616]

Thanks for sharing bro! I’ll be there in 2 weeks. Doing a 5 day mountaineering trip , Macchu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and a couple days to relax afterwards .

[@RyanFila]

That's so dope!! You're about to have a life changing experience!! I would look at Polcoyo instead of Rainbow Mountain though 😊

[@annaanna1627]

Hi great video with tips that I haven’t heard from the other videos we have watched! Thanks for the content! Husband and I are headed there in august. He walks with a cane + uses a mobility scooter that we hope to take (this will be a trip where I will be planning down to the fine details). We have 13 days to travel around + will take our time with much rest 😃 Would you recommend that we : A. Fly to Cusco (your/rest/acclimate for 4-5 days) then Peru hop back to Lima with stops at lake titcaca, nazca, huacachina? Or Do you think we should do the reverse? Thereby seeing matchu Picchu almost last and then flying back to Lima?

Hi not sure if you’d be able to help me with this! I’m taking the earliest 5am train from Ollaytambo. My entrance to Machu is 6am-7am do you think that’s enough time or should I push my entrance time back?

[@RyanFila]

Hey! Sorry It's taken me so long, but yeah you'd probably want to push it back. Depending on how long it takes the buses to get up to Machu Picchu.

[@HollyHargreaves]

How strick were they about mask in Peru? Did they ask for vacation cards before flying in?

[@RyanFila]

Hey! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I'm currently taking a break from producing videos to take an inward creative dive! They're pretty strict in, depending on the place and city. When I went there the rules were different, so I'm not 100% sure of what it looks like now.

[@amym972]

Do you know if you can take the train and hop off and tour around Ollantaytambo and hop back on the train and go to Aguas challenges?

[@RyanFila]

Hey! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I'm currently taking a break from producing videos to take an inward creative dive! I'm not sure. I never ended up taking the hop on - hop off buses out there.

[@jessicavazquez7224]

Amigo, thanks for taking the time to post your perspective! Out of all the vids I've looked at lately, this one was the most straight-forward and honest, So My question is: did you book well in advance for your Machu Picchu excursion from Cusco, or was it a show up and go? My concern is the ridiculous cost that comes with planning ahead vs knowing that there are only certain amounts of people per day admitted to the site. I would like to know a lot more from your experience because it seems that honest information is hard-to-come-by when one's itinerary is being left open I want to see the thing but I feel like I'm looking at too steep a price. Not that the tour guides don't deserve good income for top notch service, but I'm getting mixed signals without clarity. tyia

[@jessicavazquez7224]

By the way your photos are incredible! I'm about to embark on my Peru journey with a Rebel Ts6 and I have barely touched the surface of how to use this machine. The entire reason the old-school camera came to me was specifically for Peru since everyone in my life knows it's my main dream to go. If you have camera tips, I could sure use them too

[@RyanFila]

Hey! Thanks for such a genuine comment and asking good questions! I would say it depends on how risk averse you are as a person for how far in advance you want to book the Machu Picchu tickets. I would recommend getting them at least a week in advance though. I don't know what the current travel amount is right now for Machu Picchu though! I have started doing some travel consulting though if you want to dive really deep in on it! 😃

[@RyanFila]

Oh wow,, thanks again! I love shooting while I'm on the road and Perú was one of my favorite locations to shoot in hands down! My biggest tip with photography is go out and DO it. That is one art that I've found is really based on just practicing and adjusting. But, of course I have a lot of small adjustment advices for how to use your camera, they're just hard to put all in a KZbin comment 😂 Overall my biggest advice is 100% go out and get after it! 😃 ❤️

[@NJPaolo88]

Do you remember the name of your guide in Machu Picchu? She was there a couple months ago when I was there.

[@RyanFila]

Oh wow! I don't remember her name off the top of my head, I'd have to go back and look at photos, but she was great. Her energy was awesome!

[@chrisli1106]

Very helpful video, especially about the rainbow maintains. Did you visit Amazon when you were there? My family is planning a Peru trip in about two month and we're thinking to stay 3-4 nights in Amazon, do you recommend it? Thanks and appreciate your help!

[@RyanFila]

Hey! Glad you found the video really helpful. I didn't make it to the Amazon unfortunately. I did go there from the Brazil side, and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life, so I'd recommend getting out there for sure! But, I don't know what it looks like from the Perú side.

[@chrisli1106]

@@RyanFila thank you 💕 I’ll plan my trip there then 🙏

[@jessicavazquez7224]

I researched and found there are a lot of really great places. Many people go north to Iquitos, but there is a huge reserve in the southwest of Peru called Tambopata. Definitely check it out!

[@mithra2396]

thanks a lot!

[@enekow]

So helpful!! I am planing my trip to Peru atm :) My plan is to stay in Cuzco about a week, 4-5 days in Huaraz for trekking, couple of days Lima and... any suggestion for the last week? Thanks a lot!

[@RyanFila]

Yooo! Hope I'm not too late here. I would say either to add time in Cusco or go to Huacachina for a day or two as well.

[@annabarringer6215]

Good advice! 😊

[@nirmalroy1738]

Hey, great video, love it....curious about the drone shots..did you fly it from centre or inside the city or did you fly it in from the outskirts of the city...also any suggestions to operate drones in cusco / lima.

[@RyanFila]

Thank you! I flew the drone from many different places, just be careful with your zones and with the airport near by! Especially if you don't have cellular connection when you're flying. I would recommend making sure you're at least on wifi so you can respond if zones change while you're in flight.

got 2 weeks in Lima - Will bus it to Cusco with no time limit - Once I arrive, what are the chances i can make it to M. P. in the next day or two ? How much is entry to M. P. ? (an idea) - thanks for helpfulness. Pg

[@RyanFila]

Hey! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I'm currently taking a break from producing videos to take an inward creative dive! That's dope! The chances are super high that you can do that. Go to the official Machu Picchu website and reserve the time and date you want to get up to Machu Picchu and you'll have everything you need! 😊

[@jessicavazquez7224]

@@RyanFila Hey Ryan, I want to add to this question because I was previously aware of the MP admission regardless of hiking in (original plan was Inca Trail) and train in. My struggle is with the idea of booking an entire trip ahead of time at an exorbitant amount and a "guarantee" vs being there and having a slightly flexible date to do the day trip (hike no longer an option). Point is I know there are only a certain amount of visitors allowed per day and I am tossed because I want to see the thing but also not be rick-rolled by the IP address.

[@HDBnB1]

What's the currency in Cusco? Do most of the places take credit cards?

[@RyanFila]

Perú uses soles. Yeah, most places take cards. Depending where you are in the country.

[@HDBnB1]

@@RyanFila Currently here in cusco now! Elevation gain is no joke. We have a trip planned for rainbow mountain but now im more interested in the other option you mentioned. Were they drone friendly? Any other drone friendly areas you know of? also does the san pedro market have cheap churos too lol

[@RyanFila]

@@HDBnB1 The elevation is definitely no joke! Palcoyo was drone friendly when I was there. So unless something has changed, it should be fine. The city of Cusco doesn't have any restrictions on drones, just be safe with it around the buildings for sure. And I don't know about the churro situation haha. There is a small shop over by the market that does have some good churros though! Did you pick up my map? It may be on there. I can't remember if I put that spot on it though.
