In this Peru travel guide, I show what it actually takes to reach the Amazon Rainforest—from long layovers and arriving in Iquitos to boarding a riverboat and checking into my jungle lodge. Most videos start once people are already in the jungle. But getting here is part of the adventure. Along the way I try fresh sugar cane juice, explore local life near the Amazon River, talk with my guide about common tourist misconceptions, and take my first boat ride into the rainforest. Then I give a full tour of what staying at an Amazon jungle lodge is really like—including the room, food, water, electricity, WiFi, and first impressions. This is Day 1 of my Amazon Rainforest Peru adventure series. #Peru #AmazonRainforest #PeruTravel #AmazonJungle #Iquitos #PeruvianAmazon #AmazonRiver #TravelVlog #PeruVlog #JungleLodge #AdventureTravel #SouthAmerica #Rainforest #AmazonTrip #TravelGuide #AlexTravelsFar #JungleAdventure #PeruGuide #AmazonTravel #TravelFar

    I Did Machu Picchu Without a Guide – Big Mistake?

    If you’re planning a Peru itinerary, here’s what it’s really like visiting Machu Picchu on Circuit 3 without a guide—from tickets to timing. Want my Google Maps links?

Instagram https://www.instagram.com/alextravelsfarvlogs/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alextravelsfarvlogs Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AlexTravelsFar Planning a trip to Machu Picchu, Peru, I visited without a guide and explored Circuit 3 from Aguas Calientes to see if it’s actually worth it. Most travelers book a guide for Machu Picchu—but is it really necessary? In this video, I take on one of the world’s most famous landmarks completely solo, from booking my own tickets to navigating the circuits and dealing with the reality of altitude, crowds, and time pressure. I walk you through what it’s actually like visiting Machu Picchu without a tour, including how Circuit 3 compares to the more popular routes, what you miss (and don’t), and whether skipping a guide saves money—or ruins the experience. This wasn’t a perfect trip. I was dealing with altitude sickness, exhaustion after hiking Machu Picchu Mountain, and a tight schedule trying to make it back to Aguas Calientes for my train. But that’s the reality of travel—and exactly what you need to know before planning your own trip. If you’re planning Machu Picchu travel in Peru, this video will help you decide: Do you need a guide at Machu Picchu? Which Machu Picchu circuit should you choose? Can you visit Machu Picchu solo? Is booking your own tickets worth it? #machupicchu #perutravel #machupicchuperu #cusco #aguascalientes #machupicchutickets #machupicchucircuits #circuit3 #incatrail #southamerica #travelperu #peruitinerary #solotravel #travelvlog #machupicchuguide #budgettravel #traveltips #machupicchuhike #andesmountains #visitperu #latinamerica #bucketlisttravel #worldwonders #altitudesickness #traveladvice #backpackingperu #peruvlog #machupicchumountain #travelplanning #alextravelsfar
