Beyond the Andes | Hiking the Andes Mountains in Peru for Five Days
Five days of relaxing silent hiking through the authentic Andes Mountains in Peru close to Rainbow Mountain. Join me and my friend Brian on our hike as we experience authentic Peruvian village life, interview a few local people about their daily life in remote villages, and go hiking with dogs, alpacas, and llamas through breathtaking valleys and over awe-inspiring rainbow mountain passes. Throughout my journey here, I was constantly reminded of the Nepal Himalayas: from the warm villagers, to the cold and snowy giants. Trek was in October 2023.

Two things make this video outstanding: (1) minimal human chatter, and (2) breathtaking visual perspectives. Images of the tent against the overwhelming backdrop of unspoiled, natural beauty are awe-inspiring. Congrats.

yes in most nature videos you have these tour guides talking ... they spoil the whole experience and they do not give long shoots of just plain nature ......

Absolutely beautiful. Best relaxing documentary I have seen. I have hiked the Applacians, the Adirondacks, the Inca trails in Peru and Ecuador, the Alps above Austria, and paraglided many. But at 78 it is all a memory...awakened by knees, ankles, and rest of my body pains. I lived and loved every minute. Congratulations on ths one. I could smell the llama and the fire places. I will be back for more. Live in Cuenca, climbed Cotopaxi and Chimborazo for good measure. Thanks for the memories.
