Tres Cruces and the Coca Smugglers Trail - A Trek into Manu National Park

[@hendikaf3525]

❤another wonderful video, so much to discover ...keep them coming.

[@IncanExpeditions]

Thank you Hendi!

[@FrankJamger]

Wow, awesome trek! Danger lurking at every turn. I guess Peruvian police aren't paid enough to go after smugglers in that jungle. Love the foliage but it can't be good on the skin. Thanks for making a video and sharing.

[@IncanExpeditions]

Yeah, the police aren't paid enough to go up that trail but they know who the smugglers are and when they go up it. It was a rough one but very pretty and different from low jungle terrain. Thanks for the comment.

[@endijeden5358]

That was such a cool video! It felt like being part of your adventure for a moment. Thanks for that. Any plans to do something in ceja de la selva in the Chachapoyas area? I think that's my favorite part of Peru.

[@IncanExpeditions]

I didn't have any plans to travel up north because any tours I create here are closer to home. The last time I was up in that area was in Tarapoto over 20 years ago! It was my first week in the jungle. Thanks for watching and and for being part of my adventure.

Absolutely beautiful, this is causing me to yearn for the Amazon again. I had the fortune to experience the corridor of the llanganates and the sangay in the foothills of Ecuador. Your film style is really cool

[@IncanExpeditions]

Very cool. I bet that area is similar. Maybe one day I'll plan an expedition and video "The Search for the Treasure of the Llanganatis". :)

[@PulseeGaming]

Thank you for making these videos, some of the best on the entire website.

[@IncanExpeditions]

Thanks!

[@bmitchell922]

I want to encourage you to keep making videos! I love the way you present your adventures just exactly "AS IS" - no need to overproduce and overedit the natural splendor of the wilderness... my only suggestion to reach a wider audience would be perhaps to use some of your content to craft informative "shorts" to bring more viewers to the channel

[@IncanExpeditions]

Thanks for your comment and suggestion. I tried the KZbin "Shorts" and figured out that they are basically worthless. I make videos so people can see how it really is in the Amazon and for those who really want to do it. As you suggest and as well as KZbin suggests the shorts don't translate into watching longer material. It is a ploy to generate more shorts so they can reach par with Tiktok. None of what I do is fake or less than a minute or 30 seconds or whatever it is. Thanks sincerely for your idea and I appreciate your comment. -Jeremy

@@IncanExpeditions love this. I appreciate the sincere feedback. I'm quite literally watching another of your videos right now, as I work out my own travel ambitions and desires. I just wish there was a way to bring content like this to more people - I don't think it's lack of demand; I think a good section of society craves authentic engagement and raw experience documentation like this. I just don't think they know where/how to find it (based on what the algorithms push, etc)

[@IncanExpeditions]

@@bmitchell922Yes, I've dealt with this for years. People say "This is the best thing.." but KZbin promotes the usual. I'm ok with it because I'd rather have quality viewers who are really looking for something like this than people who are just looking to kill boredom. Thanks for watching and for your excellent comments!!

[@dianalinden3138]

Amazing footage. Loved the botanical info of your part of the world. Your humor and positive spirit, in the midst of exhaustion is awesome. I’m an arm-chair traveler and your videos are my favorite. Look forward to your next one. Stay safe Jeremy.

[@IncanExpeditions]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Arm-chair traveling is the way to go, no expenses or anything dangerous. Thanks for the comment!

[@chiranjivsonowal2050]

Your videos are amazing and of high quality and give me the feeling of being amidst the nature....wonderful....❤❤❤

[@IncanExpeditions]

Thank you! Being in nature brings me peace and I'm glad I can share it with you!

[@greedy243]

These videos should have millions of views.

[@IncanExpeditions]

I agree. Maybe KZbin will get around to fixing something one day. Thank you for watching!

[@deleteyoursocialmedianow8183]

thanks for sharing your adventure and the background info! i mostly have just hiked in british columbia neat to see another part of the world. stay safe brother

[@IncanExpeditions]

Wow, I'd rather deal with the Andean (Paddington) bear than with any Black bears. I'd even take a jaguar over those any day. Thanks for watching!

[@davidedward490]

These videos are awesome! Fellow hiker here I do a lot of hiking off trail in Ohio/Indiana forests. My thing is plant and tree diversity so I really appreciate these videos!

[@IncanExpeditions]

Right on. I'll try to include more about the plants in future videos. Thanks for watching!

[@CrystalHopeReed]

Your have such a calm demeanor, even in all of these challenging circumstances! I've liked all of your videos I've watched so far. Keep it up!

[@IncanExpeditions]

Thanks!! You never know. Maybe on the next one I'll totally flip out :)

[@gggggggggg-ms8lm]

thanks for bringing us these unique view of the jungle

[@IncanExpeditions]

My pleasure. This was a weird one but nonetheless available for anyone who wants to do it. Thanks for watching and thanks for leaving a comment.

[@murkypuddle33]

14:26 I started laughing when you said it's rotting from the inside out lol so true

[@IncanExpeditions]

Yeah, it was a death trap.
