Peru - South America's Cultural Epicenter (S3:E68)

After running out their tourist visas and departing Bolivia, Chad and Rose cross into what is arguably Latin America's most beautiful country - PERU!
Making the most of this culturally-rich region, they visit the floating islands of the Uros people on Lake Titicaca, the Chullpa tombs of the Qulla people in Sillustani, cross collapsed bridges and explore fallen churches...
All this, before trading in their Africa Twin for a couple of unruly horses and making the trek to over 16,000ft to Vinicunca, aka Rainbow Mountain.

Most channels with over 100k subs can't hold a candle to you two. Not only your production quality, but where you ride and the experiences you have on the road are just incredible. Honda needs to put you on the payroll!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Ha ha... Thanks so much!! You don't know anyone at Honda, do you? We're certainly open to entertaining offers!! 🤔😁

[@robertshelton3963]

Agreed

[@GSAirTherapy]

The issue with KZbin is… you’re at 12.5k followers, whereas, you should be at well over a million. You found the perfect blend of personal diary meets documentary. It’s just brilliant, especially considering that you’ve been at it for years now! Thank you for continuing to chronicle your journey. Thankfully, you don’t seem to care much about follower count and statistics, or you’d have burned out a while ago (I suspect). Which, if I’m on the right track, makes your videos even more wholesome! Thank YOU for taking us along for the ride!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thanks for the kind words! Speaking for myself, I (Chad) really enjoy the creative process. I edit these as much for myself, as for anyone else. Publishing once a week gets tiresome, but at least it keeps me honest.. And yes, after years, I've not only talked to other content creators but enough editors, promoters, and social media managers to know how the sausage is made. Would we like 1 million subs? Sure we would! Are we willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to get them? Absolutely not!! Most large accounts out there did not there purely by the good graces of the algorithm. KZbin is big business, and you gotta pay if you want those plays. That doesn't interest us. I'd rather build a community of people like you, who genuinely enjoy our videos and use them as inspiration for their own travels. 🍻

[@hansrijzenga923]

if this is the beginning of Peru I can't wait to see the rest. Amazing.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Trust me, it only gets better!!

[@marcelioalvesmotoviagens9040]

Hi Rose and Chad. You are showing incredible places in Peru that I didn't know and have never seen Brazilian motorcycle travelers show. The end of the video is an incredible place with these colorful mountains. The hard journey is truly rewarded in the end. I'm already looking forward to the next video.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thanks so much. We do our best to get off the beaten track as much as possible, and luckily, Peru offers plenty of opportunities to do just that!

[@ToonArmy01]

Thank you to both of you taking me back in your video to Peru; visiting places familiar and introducing new gems that literally take your breath away, Vinicunca, aka Rainbow Mountain, where the air is thin but the colours are plentiful.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thanks for joining us! The best of Peru is yet to come, so be sure to stay tuned!! 💪

[@uponthepegs]

When you showed the ‘confounded bridge’ my initial thought was ‘Chad will (try to) ride this! Such is your apparent and well founded gun-ho adventure threshold! Just amazing VT guys. Thank you from London, UK

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Bwaa ha ha... don't believe for a second that I didn't think long and hard about it! Had the far end of the bridge actually made land, I probably would have given a good. It retrospect, I'm glad it didn't! 😅

New subscriber. Great content. Lifelong dirtbiker who has just purchased a T7 looking to start making longer trips. I've watched a few other channels in the adventure bike space and must say that yours is by far the best. I'm going to start binging on the rest of your videos and take notes.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Very cool! Thanks for the kind words, and welcome to the channel! Feel free to hit us up with any questions. We're always happy to help someone plan their trip if we can!! 🍻

Great video. Really amazing footage. That altitude in Peru is a killer.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you!! I certainly feel the altitude a lot more in my 40s than I did in my 20s... 😬

[@user-zo6xg8bx4l]

Another awesome and informative video! Thanks! As a very longtime viewer, I'm glad to see your channel is growing nicely. I've never understood why it didn't grow quickly in the past. 😀👍♥

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thanks so much!! It takes time to grow a channel "organically" (I hate that word). Unfortunately, buying subs and views is more common than not these days. 😒

Wonderful clip, it’s hard to breathe at those altitudes. I’ve been to Lake Titicaca . Like to revisit that area.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

I don't think we cracked 18k ft furring our time in South America, but we got close. I feel the altitude a lot more now than I did in my youth.

[@fabiobaldrati9259]

So che e' una domanda difficile, ma fino ad ora qual'e' stato nel sud-america il paese che vi e' piaciuto di più?

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Not a difficult question, but also not a straightforward answer. We have different favorites for different reasons. People, food, scenery, riding, etc... Strictly in terms of the riding, Rose's favorite is Chile, and mine is Peru!

[@RonKoppelmann]

Agree with others here, something is wrong with the algo that you don’t have orders of magnitudes more subscribers…

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thanks Ron! KZbin is like one of those arcade claw machines. It looks simple enough, but every time you manage to snag that little purple teddy bear, the claw jerks unexpectedly, and it falls out of reach... BUT... if you just keep stuffing dollar bills into the machine, you might get lucky and win that $0.40 stuffed animal!!
