Heii Kraig I'm the girl from Switzerland my name is Laura by the way it was very cool bumping into you 😊 the video turned out great and I did the day hike to the Laguna and also had a really good time 👍🏼 I'm in southern Peru now and hopefully will do the Inca Trail 😉I wish you all the best on your future adventures.

[@diogocalado7631]

Hello Laura! I was wondering if the Inca trail is open or if even Peru is open for tourism? Please let me know :)

[@kentjamison5247]

@@diogocalado7631 Peru is still open to backpacking. Going there soon myself.

[@hellesylt9770]

Hi Laura I’m going to Peru and want to do same trail as Kraig do you know if I can pay cheap tour to do this as I’m going on a budget

[@tiberio135]

You are now everyone’s mom for creating such a creative son. He’s inspired so many people to go outside and see cool stuff.

Your trips and videos kept me company in Iraq for 18 months. Thank you.

[@CarltonMarshall]

Watching Kraig's videos is like a therapy/mediation session 🧘🏾‍♂️☕

[@mikehellinger1]

Your presentation just gets better and better man. Really liking this format.

[@JavierISampedroTNF]

Breathtaking views. Peru is one of those places I will have to go one day.

[@ayutrnita]

Me tooo 😭😭😭

[@tiffanip5047]

The fact that places like this exist in the world is beyond me and I am so grateful you are capturing your journey and all its glory ! Safe travels

[@NIckJC712]

Damn, I stayed at that hostel and in that refugio. Crazy that I can still recognise it 4 years on. Huaraz, easily my favourite place in South America.

[@RyanShirley]

Wow 🤯 felt like I was watching a video of you hiking in the Alps! Such incredible footage and loved the narration! 🏔

[@theroadnottakentravel]

[@DWtuna]

Absolutely incredible! Watching the beautiful nature of Peru and the level of photography made it almost therapeutic.

[@bigdave2073]

Kraig, every time I think you've set the bar for quality of an individual producer you surpass it. This was incredible from a cinematographic perspective, and so much time and effort packaged down so perfectly editorially. Bravo, as always, keep setting the bar so high. Stuck here at home after yet another operation wishing I could go climb my local mountain this year.

[@baca1105]

Absolutely agree

[@markrussell.]

Much respect to you for setting up Camera shots at that altitude and then going back to collect your gear, you're in very good shape...

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

ya that gets really tiring, especially at altitude. I was so tired setting up shots on Mount Albert Edward.

[@cesartrelles969]

Cada vez que veo este video meda ganas de llorar al ver tanta belleza Gracias kraig

[@koheifoss]

I really appreciate the extra contextual segment at the beginning, and I also like the new fading transition for the text- I don't think I've see that before! Thanks for bringing us on another trip, Kraig :)

[@schaffermatt]

I have no words for this. Simply EPIC. You are peerless at what you do.👍🏼

[@rickloginname]

Jesus - this whole thing made me so happy.

[@AnthonyGruba]

I'm 18 and you've inspired me to go on a trip alone, on 25th June I'm going on my first one to Oslo and hiking in Trolltunga for 2 days :)

[@nadya5111]

Hey! How it went??

[@nureinneuerytaccount7390]

Hope you had fun there :) I'm going there in a week. Greets from Switzerland!

[@AnthonyGruba]

@@nadya5111 @Nureinneuerytaccount thanks for asking, it went amazing :) I did a day hike instead of overnight one as I unprepared myself with a warmer clothing, but other than that it was the best trip I've ever been on. Definitely gonna remember it and I'm already planning next ones!

[@AnthonyGruba]

@@nureinneuerytaccount7390 have fun!

[@AnthonyGruba]

I decided to make a little video from it, so if anyone has some time, you're free to check it out :)

[@HikewithJeet]

Brilliant! This brought back great memories of my trip to Huaraz, Santa Cruz trek and of course Laguna 69.

[@swansong8128]

Hi Kraig, watching your videos is almost the only thing i could focus and enjoy in after work when i'm spending a hard time. thank you, and i'm sure i'll do some hiking like this in the recent years.

[@Dixiwonderlandyoutube]

I´ve been following you for 1-2 years now and wow. They way you film and edit has improved so much! Don´t get me wrong, you have always made beautiful videos. But this was breath taking. And Sasha is adorable. She will love following you one hikes when she is bigger. Stay safe and have a wonderful day Kraig :)

[@Read-this-comment]

The work you put in this video is terrific ♥️♥️♥️

[@florentdedeken]

Said it on your Santa Cruz video, will say it here again : it brings me so much joy and goosebumps watching your Peru videos as I spent 1 month there in 2018 and it brings back so much memories. The Santa Cruz trek was a flashback of my entire trek. In this video I recognized some places in Huaraz as the place where you had breakfast with Dustin, the first laguna,... Hiking in Peru is such a grounding experience. You have to be respectful to the altitude, listen to your body and have some endurance but it's so worth it. The views, the people, the culture,... Makes me teary-eyed. Want to go back there.

[@ErikaLjung]

Cordillera Huayhuash has been my #1 dream hiking destination for years, so thank you so much for transporting me there for a little while! Also, congrats on getting Sasha, she is soooo cute:)

[@joanperezlozano7405]

Thanks for showcasing the delightful landscapes that my country has 🙏

[@sangtonsing1531]

i cannot stress this enough, your videos are very therapeutic I'd love to travel and hike like you some day

[@markrussell.]

The Exposure settings are perfect for this whole video, well done.

[@user-lu8gb4th9j]

My husband and I did the same trek in 2015; we even stayed at the same hostel! Thank you for making this video, it helped us relive one of our adventures from earlier days and is inspiring us to get back out there in spite of Covid :-)

[@larryjohnprobst]

....traveled through Peru in 74 & 77 for months when I was in my 20"s. Went to Huaraz , Yungay etc and wish the infrastructure was there at the time to experience that hike.......!!!! Extraordinary!

[@dirtskirt]

Kraig Adams is back, i must go to Peru too. Thank you for this Great Video. I think Wren is a good Idea. Regards Dirk

[@vidaworksout]

Kraig, I want to say thank you--as someone with sickle cell anemia and who will never get the chance to experience the mountains these videos at least allow me to see the beauty of them. I think about the mountains a lot and how I wish I could hike them, but these videos fill that desire. Much love.
