THE $33 EGG IN A SMALL PERUVIAN TOWN 🇵🇪 MARAS, PERU

[@TheTravelbum]

Thanks to Harold Baldr for the inspiration to give what we can in small ways while we travel. Let us know your ideas here 👇👇 One of Harold's videos (I had a $1000 Cup of Tea - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKWod354mbV2fpY )

[@lujedeja578]

I've been following him since he started his trip around Peru. He loves hiking and having new adventures and experiences.

[@TheTravelbum]

Jeff Jave yeah he’s great. Defiantly inspired me starting a year ago when I was in India

[@dannygrissom1]

Harold's visit to Peru is one I will not soon forget

[@milenkab8683]

I've discovered Harold while watching your videos on youtube... Fun guy, I enjoy his videos too.

[@lindseyfw2903]

Maras is my favorite town in Peru!

[@peladito2006]

Lindsey, to me, Urubamba & Ollantaytambo. I would like to buy any land in Yanahuara or Pachar...Up to now it is cheap....US$180 per M2....!!!

[@luisenriquearaujo8168]

Lindsey Fw, also very recommended is Andahuaylillas and other towns near by, pope, John Paul called it the sixtine chapel of the Americas,... worth it to see it, greetings from ny...

[@Dr.Pepper001]

I can't understand why you guys don't have like three hundred thousand subscribers. You have the best travel vlogs on KZbin.

[@lindseyfw2903]

Aww that’s such a compliment. KZbin is a mystery.

I just feel like this is a laid back channel and video. It's like a breath of fresh air with all of the drama of KZbin or the States right now. You guys rock!!! Keep doing it like you are doing!!

[@lindseyfw2903]

Thanks! We are glad to hear you find it refreshing 🙏

[@inspiredleader03]

Thank you for being appreciative of the local culture and people. Too many travelers/tourists are ignorant jerks who only want to see but don't want to learn.

Aww thank you!! 😊❤️

[@alejandrocacho7700]

Shells because millions of years ago the Andes were under the ocean, Andes are still growing. Who will find the shells through out the Andes.

[@lindseyfw2903]

So fascinating!

[@saratrejo6658]

@@lindseyfw2903 It's true that the Andes rose from the water, however these shells are not from those times. For shells to have survived millions of years they would have to be fossilized. Those shells you guys keep finding are very obviously not fossilized shells. The Andes used to be part of the seafloor. The seabed got pushed up and seawater salt was trapped in the rocks. Now it filters out through the spring. Of course that doesn't answer why these particular shells are there. haha

When I realized that Alex went looking for the foods that Lindsay was craving on her food I had my mouth OPEN.... I couldn't believe it! Alex is so sweet! You wanted to please your Princess... that is so nice...reminded me of my husband when I was pregnant 80 thousand years ago. :D I enjoy so much your videos....So nice of you to give extra tip to the locals who deserve it.

[@enz0632]

Chicha de Jora is the Inca Empire's beer. Nutritionists recommend it to keep healthy kidneys and prostate. I love your video guys, I'm sure if you would do speaking " Spanglish" you would have hundreds of thousands more subscribers from Latin America. But your Spanish are getting better and better just try it. The legend says if a couple share a chicha from a single glass , they're gonna get married in 6 months........ You're great guys !!

[@2W3X4YZ5]

The Harald Baldr helping locals model is one of the most enjoyable of formats for travel vlogs. You learn so much, share so much, it’s the most rewarding part of travel. Cheers y’all. Have y’all noticed how you’re starting to think in Spanish?

[@peladito2006]

You are winning the hearts of all Peruvians and their subscribers with that tip to those humble people of Maras. Soon time will reward you. You have provoked me so much that , in my next trip to Cusco, I'm going to drink a delicious chicha de jora.

[@jessiquitab]

Regarding the number of subscribers in yourube, I totally agree not sure what is going on but for the kind and quality of your content you should have many more subscribers to not say millions 😉 . I actually think you should be featured in peruvian tv (in one of this Sunday magazines like DiaD, Domingo al Día, etc.) with your covid journey through Cuzco. Perhaps you need to be on FB too so we all can share your videos there... any TV channel related guys here? And at minimum, I would say you guys have earned the right to enter Macchu Picchu first once they open it!! 😁 That would be actually so awesome but totally deserving 🥰

[@vivianmerino2703]

.Lindsey I like when you said the animals are in harmony and the way that both of you appreciate the simple things. You guys are so grateful, humble,generous and compassionate with my people. Thank you 🙏

[@elisabetsuarez6385]

Thank you for making that lady to smile in disbelieve for getting that tip, you really made her day. Q&A did you guys get scare when you got into the church, because I did just watching the video.

I hope it brightened her day. Haha yes it creeped me out for some reason. So dark empty and echoing

I saw this video 3 times, one alone, again with my husband and later with my sons, I am in love with Cusco thanks to you, the town of Maras is as if it were stopped in time, I can feel through the video the infinite peace and pure beauty within the simplicity of the little town that makes it unique.

As a Peruvian I'm very happy to have been able to find you on the networks and to follow you. The caring action you have filmed in this video says a lot about the good people you are. A big hug from me. I hope one day to have the opportunity to meet and chat. And of course, you can count on me for any help or guidance you require. I hope I can be useful and thus give something back to all that love they have for my country.

[@markkeller6635]

That was one of my favorite videos! I know it was hard and tiring but I'm glad you made the walk. With each step you took you became richer in experiences. Your observations on what you saw and encountered made me feel like I was there too. One of the best moments was when you gave the propina to the woman who fed you. Wonderful job Alex and Lindsey! Like everyone else, I look forward to your next upload!!!

[@lindseyfw2903]

Thanks so much. It was one of our best days in Peru. We loved the experience. We were more than happy to help her out a little. Thanks for the support mark!

[@billhenry1117]

Of my trips abroad Peru was my favorite!!! I ate lunch one day in the Maras square one day two years ago!!! Thank You!!!!

[@555SwissMiss]

Alex! Lindsey!! You are literally rewinding something I unwound 15 years ago. Blow by blow, almost verbatim. Your video starts out with my journal entry from July 2005. My unaltered words: " We got back to the town of Maras a little later than expected but were hellbent on going to the saltmines. Taxi ride could have gotten us there quicker, but all three of us wanted the experience of walking. Locals told us it was a half hour walk. Well, a half hour maybe at some superhuman speed!!! We found out only later, of course, that the hike is a good 5 miles..." So the myth of a half hour is well and alive.

[@ccsusralski]

❤❤❤ I love you guys....you made her day giving her a huge tip... Thank you for your kindness helping poor people.

[@wilderrivera2166]

I am a Peruvian , when i was a kid i used to live in a place much like you are now, with the same way of life that you are seeing, I appreciate the kindness and understanding and respect towards my culture, i admire the beauty you display along the way and I and I think you are a match made in heaven.

Thank you so much for the little help everything counts in this moment ! 💚🙌🏻 They are so humble, Specially if they are old people or kids . You can say something like "queremos darles esta propina , muchas gracias " even tho if they don't know how to say thank you , they are so grateful

[@Quillavilla]

I LOVE Maras. 🥰That's where I use to buy my donkeys. I asked a taxi 🚕 driver once, "do you have burros in town? He said, "lady we have more Burros here than people". Once I got 2 donkeys. Put one in my car and brought other in a Taxi.

[@gustavovizcardo7301]

Hey, it's me again guys! just saw this video and realized that you are now enjoying an unreal experience! thanks for support the Maras community and tip them so generously, a hearty meal is the less I can do for you! Btw, congrats! You are now speaking really good Spanish.

[@melis6294]

Hi guys, it was very generous of you to help that lady at the store. You asked who else in Peru you could help and think people who sell on the streets would be good candidates, we call them " ambulantes". Unlike the lady at the store who owns her store and is open most of the day ambulantes make so much less because they get out to sell for a couple or a few hours. I hope that helps.

[@lindseyfw2903]

Yes we want to help a street vendor soon

[@marcoesparzamontejobit]

Sightseeing at a time as difficult as this must be a unique experience. Cusco is 80% dependent on tourism and is not having a good time just now, but in October 2020 tourism will return to these beautiful lands of the empire of the sun. I like your videos a lot, I congratulate you, I am a Peruvian who travel 10 times to Cusco from my beloved Lima. In every trip to Cusco, I always find something new, it is magical...

[@klaudiarolland5588]

It always makes me laugh how you guys look for chicha. I don´t specially like it being peruvian myself but you seem to love it. I´m sure it is very good for your health too, just like kombucha, since these kind of fermented drinks of ancien heritage are all better than anything we can get today from the industry. I will give it another opportunity! Pretty cool what you did with the restaurant lady. It does really help on these weird days to have some extra money, specially when you used to live from tourism.

Hey guys, great initiative! Happy to hear you felt so welcomed at Maras. The touristic places have influenced the mood of the people living there to the point their attitude seems strange even to other Peruvians!

About the shells, I read a scientific article that explained that it's normal to find shells in the Andean mountains. That proves that millions of years ago the sea level was over the mountains. In fact, the Andes was formed by the collision of two tectonic plates that were under the ocean. After the collision, both blocks of land rise creating mountains. Seashells are proof of that natural process. ☺️

[@lindseyfw2903]

That’s so incredible to think about how much it has changed with time.
