LA TIERRA DE LAS LLAMAS - Summary

Summary

The speaker begins by welcoming viewers to another adventure, this time in Cusco, Peru. He expresses his excitement to explore the city, which he describes as being very cold, leading him to buy a professional jacket. The speaker also mentions his encounter with a taxi driver named Juan and a chance meeting with llamas on the road.

Upon arrival, they check into a unique hotel, where they are surrounded by llamas, alpacas, and sheep. The hotel's terrace offers a view of an artificial lake and a statue of a majestic figure. The speaker and his friend decide to take a walk around the hotel's premises, where they encounter various pets.

The following day, they visit the famous Machu Picchu, which the speaker describes as being even more impressive in person than in photos. They reach the site after a complicated journey involving a train, a truck, and a llama. The speaker provides tips for visiting Machu Picchu on a budget, suggesting to travel in small groups to avoid paying for tourist guides.

The speaker reveals that Machu Picchu is not its real name, as the name "Machu Picchu" in Quechua translates to "mountain journey". He explains that the site, discovered by a North American explorer around 1910-1911, was a part of the Inca civilization and was estimated to have been built around 1200-1300 AD. The site was completely abandoned and did not suffer during the Spanish conquest.

The speaker concludes the video by thanking viewers for joining him on this adventure and expresses his hope that they enjoyed it. He signs off with a promise to return with a new video.
