[@dghansen1]

I've been to Peru twice, and I must admit that you found some really cool places we missed, especially around Cuzco and the awesome rainbow mountain. Very good photography and lively narration! Loved this video tour.

[@Cristina-nq2oc]

I’m so glad I found this video! Leaving for Peru next week. The editing, the narration and nuggets of info were on point. It really felt like a tv show! Sharing it with my group! Do you have a breakdown of what you did each day? Did you basically hire a driver to take you to all the areas in the sacred valley? I want to cover everything but also don’t want to cram too many things in. The cultural tour looks so fun! Thank you! ❤

[@twosolesabroad]

Thanks! ♥️ we have a full 9 day itinerary posted in our bio 🙌 and yes we got a driver since we prefer to explore on our own! We can share his info if you send us a dm on ig or an email 😊

OMG! It brings back amazing memories of me doing similar adventures like you guys. We had a tour guide who took us to those places. The altitude hiking to Rainbow Mountain was tough. Had to rented the horse with a 70 year old lady pulled it. We ended ỉn Machu Pichu and that was even more amazing with the train ride. The foods were amazing too.

Thank you 🥰

[@jamielaymon4861]

This was perfect! Thank you. My only question is how easy is it to find a guide outside of Macchu Picchu if you do it your way?

[@twosolesabroad]

They are right there first when you leave the train and later right before the entrance to Machu Picchu. Trust me they won’t let you miss them 😄. You can do a group tour or a private tour which will cost a little more.

[@sw-ns1yi]

This is an incredible video! How long were you there? I’m planning on going late August for 8 days, 2.5 days in Cusco and 5 days/nights doing the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu! I feel like I have to do multiple trips to Peru to see everything I want to experience! Unfortunately during this trip, I won’t have time to see the Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain, etc How long were you there?

[@twosolesabroad]

Wow! Sounds like fun 🤩 we were 10 days in Cusco, so much to do there!!

It was time consuming this edit, this video. I used to edit for hours and hours. I asked myself was it truly worth it. After 7 years, I was done.

[@wanderdutts4584]

Love this. Did you stay in a hotel and do day trips or spend a few days in Sacred Valley area?

[@twosolesabroad]

Thanks! We were doing the day trips! 🫶🏼 but would definitely stay in Ollantaytambo a day or two before heading to Machu Picchu if that was an option. 😊

You totally forgot to mention how global warming melted the snow that was covering Rainbow Mountain and that it was only fully rediscovered after 2012. Now it’s simply another way to exploit the sacredness of the Sacred Valley. Keep influencing by exploiting! Cheers!
