The Andes: Unbelievable Landscapes Will Leave You Speechless! -Jujuy //EP.70

[@jumbomobile8806]

You are truly freedom champions. Living free under any conditions. I can't imagine adventures like yous one day settle for a 9 to 5 job and Im sure you can't. I wish you all the luck and hope you get a way of supporting yourselves to live free all your life's. I really learn a lot about other countries with you videos.

[@Thebluelandy]

Spot on! This is something we often think about. And we don't have any answer to. We have an added problem, we both have friends and family in both Spain and Germany... We really don't know where to start when we are back, and what that "back" looks like. Any suggestions from others in our situation maybe could help! But yeah, again, 100% spot on! Thank you so much for following along and taking the time to comment!

[@badfinger61]

Those mountains and valleys are incredible. So interesting to see all those cacti! Things look very dry in that region but that's what also makes it so beautiful. I hope Bluelandy is doing well with the oil changes - looks like some water got into those axles, for sure. Hope all three of you are coping with the higher altitudes. I know that the headaches can become bad sometimes - take care!!

[@Thebluelandy]

This region is espectacular! We understand why many Argentinians insisted in us visiting it ! It is indeed very dry, and harsh but nothing comparing to the next adventure, wait for it! The bluelandy is doing good but we need to keep an eye on that rear diff, that gets water. The altitude... Well in the next adventure it's even crazier, but one needs to really take care to don't get altitude sickness! Stay tunned 😎

[@badfinger61]

@@Thebluelandy Looking forward to the next video!!

[@johndiaz7240]

One of our favorite episodes, thanks. Your cactus on the dashboard looks very healthy.

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you! This place was a dream! Absolutely mind blowing colors everywhere. Our cactus is happy again ✌️🤗

[@ldosucowboy3279]

Enjoy the ride? Absolutely! Stunning video as always.😊

[@Thebluelandy]

Happy that you enjoyed! It was epic to explore this region!

[@ruudsmith3836]

another great episode! those huge cacti were amazing...and wow what rocky scenery

[@Thebluelandy]

They were really something! When we saw them all together we couldn't believe it. Specially because it was a random valley and no one knew about it!

[@andrewthacker114]

Some beautiful country, but the wind relentless.

[@Thebluelandy]

It is really relentless! And it's a fight we can never win 😵

[@frank-lr]

Great video again. I appreciate all the editing work that must go into it. And, hey, DashCactus™ now has a companion: DashLlama™ 😂

[@Thebluelandy]

Thank you so much Frank!! Yeahhh we had to move Dashlama to the windscreen area, and fix it there, several times the Lama went flying during the drive 😵

[@grahames9228]

Wow, the colour of the oil coming out of the front diff certainly looked worrying, but, Blue Landy seems to be running well, so that is the main thing.

[@Thebluelandy]

It was really milky! So glad we changed it, but we still have to search for the leak. We don't think is the seal but the connection of the breather. How to improve it? No idea! For the moment is doing fine, but we need to always keep in mind our rear diff it's not tight 😵

[@Thebluelandy]

Argentina is incredibly diverse. And one can drive from one climate zone to the next in one day. Spectacular! This region was really dry and due to altitude and the wind extreme for the skin. But nothing comparable to what you will see in the next episode!

Argentina it's been a blast, and comparing to countries in Africa, kind of a holiday. 😂 Haha

I love those straight country roads. Enjoy your travels

[@Thebluelandy]

They are stunning! Specially surrounded by very tall mountains ❤️

[@daveyboy5961]

Once again awesome video and brilliant photography.

[@Thebluelandy]

Than k you Dave! Really appreciate it. Wait for the next episode 😱

[@daveyboy5961]

Can’t wait. I’ve watched them all so far. You two are having an awesome adventure.

[@davemangle6448]

I’d be telling the free loading brother to get his own Landy !!

[@Thebluelandy]

He got his 4x4 van in Europe, and I got already enough cars that are under my mechanical supervision. Another landy would probably exceed my time 😂

[@jacqueshickley]

I hope you flushed out the differentials with something before you filled it with new oil. How did the gearbox and transfer box oil look like? Thanks for the great video.

[@Thebluelandy]

I ran a can of break cleaner though it. This is most likely not enough but we will keep the oil change intervals short to take care of the rest. We didin’t change transmission and transfer box, they don’t leak (all seals are good) and the breathers were above the water level. Should be fine. Thank you 😊

[@juanprime8827]

Los guias se fueron pomniendo obligatorios en toda la cordillera, por un lado para darle trabajo a la gente que vive ahi, y por otro porque mucha gente se pierde en la montaña y algunos lamentablemente morian de frio a la noche, no todos saben que por la noche en la Puna a 4000mts, puede hacer -10C o hasta -25C grados. Felicitaciones!!! Los de Argentina somos pocos los que podemos recorrer tantos meses la cordillera, vamos en viajes por partes de a 10 dias y hacemos 1 o 2 provincias por vez. Suerte! Si necesitan repuestos, partes o recambios de Land Rover, en el club de LR podemos ayudarlos!

[@Thebluelandy]

Creo que los guías son necesarios para aquellos que no se sienten del todo seguros al hacer caminatas en altura. Y creo que es una buena forma de generar trabajo en el lugar. Hay maneras de asegurase previamente de que los visitantes que no quieran guía puedan explorar por su cuenta. En muchas ocasiones se hace pidiendo permiso previo. En todo caso no creo que sea correcto forzar un guía para controlar a los visitantes. Uno puede cobrar entrada para el mantenimiento de la zona. Este dinero puede ser utilizado para tener personal controlando y realizando mantenimiento del lugar (como se hace en los Parques Nacionales). En cuanto al segundo tema, somos afortunados de poder explorar Argentina por libre y a nuestra manera. Tengo que decir que Argentina es uno de los mejores países del mundo para hacer lo que hacemos. Y espero que esto no cambie. Es algo de lo que estar muy orgullosos/as!

[@juanprime8827]

@@Thebluelandy el tema es que muchos se sienten capaces de entrar a un lugar asi y despues no vuelven. A mi como usuiario Land Rover desde hace 27 años me gusta ir solo, pero la destruccion de los paisajes por visitantes destructivos, gente que se pierde, gente que lamentablemente muere en el intento, ponen esto como paliativo. En la provincia de Cordoba hay lugares donde ya no te dejan entrar salvo caminando despues que camionetas dejaron surcos de 100m de ancho en campos privados. Hace 20 años podias ir por cualquier lado, no encontrabas huellas en ningun lado, hoy toda la cordillera esta recorrida y casi no existen lugares virgenes para visitar.

The largest and highest plateau in the world is the Tibetan Plateau. It stretches approximately 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) north to south and 2,500 kilometres (1,600 miles) east to west. It is the world’s highest and largest plateau, with an area of 2,500,000 square kilometres (970,000 square miles). With an average elevation exceeding 4,500 metres (14,800 feet) and being surrounded by imposing mountain ranges that harbor the world’s two highest summits, Mount Everest and K2, the Tibetan Plateau is often referred to as “the Roof of the World”.

[@Thebluelandy]

Yes! And we are going to the second highest 😱😵 you will see next week. It's WILD!

[@juanprime8827]

Many times it's not just the altitude that makes you feel unwell. Locals refer to a weather condition as "puna," which for some reason causes headaches, makes you feel tired, and everything you eat upsets your stomach. We carry always big cans of Oxigen.

[@Thebluelandy]

I can believe this! It think is. Or only altitude but the other extreme weather conditions. The sun is so strong, the wind omg 😱 it can blow you away and cold temperatures just kill you. Yes, I can believe there is such thing as Puna sickness

Corrugations!!! Jejejje serruchos malditos!! Me encanta su forma de viajar, con mi compañera viajamos muy parecido, algunos dirán que es medio “rata”, pero se llega más lejos y a mejores lugares!! Les recomendaría “corona del inca” en la Rioja, pero vi que ya están más abajo, así que les recomiendo todas las secciónales del “parque nacional los glaciares”, la guanaco es hermosa!! Un saludo! Disfruten!!

[@Thebluelandy]

Si, los malditos! Especialmente siendo tres en el Landy, el de atrás tiene una discoteca con todo lo que vibra. Viajamos con un presupuesto ajustado, acampando en la naturaleza lo maximo posible. Es nuestra forma de viajar, pero para muchos puede que no sea de su agrado. Para nosotros es la forma de vivir mayor libertad al viajar. Ya estuvimos en el PN los Glaciares! 😍😍

[@bertplank8011]

Some of those 🌵 species reach quite advanced age but these ones are not as good as the classy ones in Arizona.They can thrive in many difficult environments even the interior of Landrovers!.....

[@Thebluelandy]

The number of them in one place was the shocking and beautiful thing! But it's not close to the size of the ones you mention. Ours is a warrior!!!

[@okokea4592]

Stunning landscapes, especially the colours! How does your engine cope with the altitude? My Td5 often blows thick black clouds each time I'm above 2000 metres. 2800 m was the highest I've been with it yet. Did you have to adapt it somehow or reprogram anything?

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey thanks for watching, I like the TD5 it Handels the altitude quite well but a both 4000m is significantly down on power. No, the engine is basically stock, I only closed the EGR to Handel the high sulfur fuel better. We didn’t map it it’s too risky on a journey like this, don’t want to blow manifold bolts, or crack the head.

[@joshuawilmot9747]

Do you guys stick to one brand of engine oil and viscosity or do you change it as the weather changes? What engine oil do you use for your engine?

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey, we started off with 5W30, since the Middle East we went to 5W40 to cover the high temperatures same in Africa . And now I believe we’re back at 5W30. We try to only get known brands (Fuchs, Castrol, petronas…) but sticking with one brand would be really difficult. Therefore we take what’s available.

[@AsterNemoralis]

I really enjoy your videos, but just a small comment about local guides. I am not familiar with the location in your video, but I have some experience with conservation in South America. When parks or nature reserves are created, local people often lose access to resources such as firewood, hunting, trapping, and wild plants. It general, it is good to provide employment so that the local people benefit directly from conservation. Also, while I am sure you would not get lost or remove cacti, other tourists might be different. Stealing rare cacti is a big problem throughout the Americas. I am birding in Chile these days and I think you would like it here. Good luck with your trip!

[@Thebluelandy]

I understand your point 100%! In this particular case I cannot see this happening to the people of this specific town. But for sure it's not the first time that someone has written their name on the stone (graffiti) . I can understand some level of control and therefore payed service is required, I don't believe a guide to police you is the way to go, but don't have an alternative solution that would work here. And regarding Chile, I think we are going to like it, but we are afraid of the many paywalls after enjoying a much more relaxed and subsidized Argentina!

[@WilfredWalker-dq6rp]

Really stunning scenery - Namibia on steroids ! How different is Argentinian Spanish compared to Spanish Spanish ? Your photography is tops , just great 👍 thank you guys.

[@Thebluelandy]

It's is mind blowing!! Thank you for the nice words. The Spanish it's very different! The verb conjugation (Vos) and also many words are completely different. I really struggle many times, and it doesn't help that I speak English and German with Kai and Karsten all the time! Sometimes they think I am a foreigner that learnt Spanish 🤣🤣🤣

Hola Pedro!! Puedes probar a seleccionar los subtítulos automáticos en español. La traducción no siempre es correcta pero cada vez es mejor! Incluir subtítulos de manera manual es demasiado trabajo y sería imposible publicar tan a menudo.

Enjoy your video and channel very much. Dum question. Why do you have such a low subscription.

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey! Happy to have you around! Many things play a roll, starting with our videos, we always can improve the image and storytelling! But other things also play a huge roll, starting with not enough catchy titles and thumbnails. The most viewed are the ones where we struggled and had a catchy picture, it's no secret how the algorithm for KZbin works. We will not play it or do clickbait. So the only thing that is left for us it's mouth to mouth recommendations. So , of you have friends, recommend us! This will help! Thank you for the support and stay tuned for the next episode!

I have loved watching your videos but can simply no longer deal with the amount of advertising that is getting smashed down my throat. I wish you well in your adventures.

[@Thebluelandy]

Ouh No! You mean at the front of the videos? KZbin just changed the policy in November and we creators cannot decide to put skippable ads anymore 😭😭😭 was it bad for you this time?

[@Thebluelandy]

Hey, thanks to the feedback, this is shocking to us. Since November KZbin changed its advertising policy, they are no longer allowing us to control the amount of ads that appear in the video (we put the minimum before). We can only say monetized on not. No monetized doesn’t mean no advertisements for you. But it means that we receive nothing. And we actively decided against partnering with brands, to not put more advertising in the video, like: “this video is sponsored (or spoiled) by…” Every video is over 20h editing + 12$ for software and a lot of investment for gear and a lot of time filming. If the ads get too much, KZbin premium is the only way out, sadly. Thank for your support in the past! And please understand that we cannot do weekly videos for free.

[@frank-lr]

@waughthogwaugh3078 Just mute the ad and look elsewhere until it's over. No need to keep your throat open all the time ;-)
