We say that in order to really understand something, to read between the lines and truely see the amount of work that has been put into something (a book, an article, a video...) you have to read/watch it at least 6 times. Well I clearly think that people need to watch your video at least 6 times to see all the work you've condensed in 3 minutes and maybe learn something from it. Personally, I've been amazed every time I saw this editing one time again because every time I discovered something that I didn't see before. And that is, for me, the proof that you have done a rich and full work (very generous in any case). It really looks like profesionnal, but we can feel that you're steel enjoying yourself doing it. Now, I've been trying to find some things to criticize in the video so that you can improve but honestly, criticizing is very hard and I can't find anything which bored me during the video, or maybe some little things but it's more about choices of editing this way more than this way, and that's not something to criticize it's just your tastes and your personality. Plus, I can see you don't need me to improve since I can see that your videos are always better ! 🤙

[@MarkHarrison4]

Truly a fantastic and insightful comment! I really appreciate that feedback pal and you're so right... It's all about personal preference and style when it comes to the little things. Although, I'm always open to any feedback from you since you really take the time to really analyze the clips. Have a great wednesday!

[@sam78410]

Thanks, you too ;)

[@mattknightvlogs1995]

Thanks for reminding me how beautiful this was. This video is special because I know how much physical exertion there is and to create a pro video with drones while doing all that... wow man!

[@sydneystein4912]

Thank you SO MUCH for putting together this beautiful video, it really captures the most amazing moments of the trek! It was a joy to get to know you, Adler forever!

[@MarkHarrison4]

Sydney Stein Sydney you rock! Awesome to meet you too. #aldersrule

[@glp_films]

Nice video Mark! Really enjoyed the pacing and transitions here. Look forward to watching more of your stuff!

[@MarkHarrison4]

Appreciate that!!

[@bendohring1637]

Very nice video. Here are some questions : When you were there? With which drone you make the film? Wich route did you past? How long did you were there?

[@MarkHarrison4]

June. Mavic 1. 5 Salkantay trek, it's a set route.

[@andresviajaok2771]

Hi Mark! What a nice video! I'm Andrés from Argentina. I'll be in Cusco in two months. Which was the tour operator that sold you this trek? Did you book it in Cusco or by internet? Thanks!! Let's go on posting.

[@MarkHarrison4]

denomades.com Are you going to do it!? I'm sure you'll have an amazing time!

Thank you for the video Mark! You are great and your videos awesome a amazing! Thanks to them I look forward to Peru much more :-)

Jared Hatch thanks a lot pal! 🙌🙏

[@mathieurundstrom6642]

Hi Mark! A friend of mine and I are going to do this hike in mid-August. We want to pack light and are concerned about the snow at the salkantay pass. Do you think trail runners are fine for the entire hike, or do you recommend proper boots? Really enjoyed the video too! Thanks.

[@MarkHarrison4]

Yea you'll encounter some snow over the pass but I wouldn't worry about it. It will probably be more comfortable to hike in runners tbh

[@Bones575]

What's a beautiful Trek!

[@Wizzbangification]

Amazing video! Can I ask which company you used if any?

[@madalenacardoso4159]

Hello Mark, Amazing video! In which month was this recorded? Thanks.

[@MarkHarrison4]

June

[@PhoenixRider1]

Amazing landscape and BEAUTIFUL works. I really enjoyed it. I am in the process of planning to visit MP this year, and this video makes me want to do this trail instead of the notorious Inca Trail. Many thanks for this work. Fyi, I just sub. 😀

[@MarkHarrison4]

Thanks a lot pal! You're going to love it!

[@cringepepegaa]

This video made me feel happy like I'm on that tour! Nice work! Btw the paint with flowers is really eye-catching lol

[@MarkHarrison4]

THanks so much!!

[@tracykibler5243]

Mark, thanks for the great video. I’m pkanning this trek for this August. Did you bring a drone? If so, was it super small? I read they’re prohibited...

[@MarkHarrison4]

Thanks Tracy, I brought the mavic 1. Drones are prohibited in the sacred valley, they aren't prohibited here.

[@domiz1x]

I cannt wait, I am walking that trail in few more weeks

[@MarkHarrison4]

So good! Enjoy it :)

[@Dmochila]

Amazing, I loved ur video, how much money did you pay for this tour?

[@MarkHarrison4]

I can barely remember now, around $300-400USD i thnk

[@bukettun6548]

Amazing editing and footage. What drone and camera did you use? I heard that you can not use a professional camera in Machu Picchu?we are looking to do the 5 day trek, thanks for sharing footage and info

[@MarkHarrison4]

This was filmed on a mavic 1 and a lumix gh5... you can have a dslr with you a machu pichu it's fine... just no HUGE lens.

[@emmettberry504]

Great video! Wondering about taking my drone with me when I go. Is it kosher?

[@MarkHarrison4]

Emmett Berry yep, no problem while in the hike, just no droning near Machu Picchu

[@tomvanzanten479]

Wow! Beautiful video!

[@gemma6209]

Your videos are stunning. I am about to do the trek in one month and this is the first video short and sharp video where I have gotten excited for my trip.

[@galleste]

How strenuous is this trek. I’m 65 and not in too bad of shape. I do elliptically 3-4 days a week and some weights. Is the air really thin and I was thinking if going with alpaca outfitters.

[@davnesto]

Very nice little video. You capture the essence of the hike good job. How much did it cost you to do the hike?

[@MarkHarrison4]

Davide Nestola thanks a lot! Prices ranges from $180-$350 depending on your package

[@edderjovan1897]

Hi Mark. I would like to know the name of the trek company that you hired :) . I want to do the trek!! Btw. Amazing video and photography

[@terryzhang4695]

Hi Terry! I'm doing the trek this year in May. How was the weather? What layers did you need? Thanks so much! :)

[@carinebotha6590]

Hi, amazing video. Which company did you use?

[@bensumw]

Great video ! Salkantay Trek is on my bucket list for quite a while now. How was the trek in terms of difficulty and fitness wise and when did you go ? Which trekking company did you use and how much was it ?

[@MarkHarrison4]

BS W price varied from $200-$300 depending on packages. It’s long walking but not that strenuous. It amazing, do it :)

[@ClaudineFillion]

Hey! I'm looking for doing this trek in october and I wonder how much it cost and with which agency you got with? Thank you!

Haha great question! Actually the campsites had generator power which I paid a very small fee to use.

[@nickjwebster]

Great video, man! What were you filming on?

[@PaymonAzizi]

Awesome video! I subbed after seeing this. I had a couple questions I hope you could answer 1) Why do the Salkantay vs the Inca? I'm personally leaning towards Salkantay. 2) What company did you go with? Any recommendations?

[@MarkHarrison4]

Thanks!! I booked with denomades.com. The Inca is way more popular and requires booking like 6 months in advance. I personally prefer the mountainous parts of the salkantay trek anyway though.

What did you use to shoot this video, & do you have any recommendations for good cameras that aren't too expensive?

[@MarkHarrison4]

Brooklyn Hill definitely! Check out my video on camera recommendations. I think you’ll find it helpful. I have the Lumix gh5

Damn I love your videos dude...what’s your favourite country so far you’ve traveled to? You’ve been to practically all the countries I’ve wanted to visit except Maldives, Antarctica & Bhutan. I’m looking to travel for 10 days this month. Flying out from Toronto. Thank you for inspiring me!

[@MarkHarrison4]

Whaaaa 10 months! And wow those places are very remote and expensive to get to! So goooood though :) Patagonia is probably my favourite, hard question though!
