Viaje completo Cusco a Chile en bus de turismo Alex Tour DÍAS 7-12 (PARTE 2/2)

Hello, hello everyone, how are you? Welcome, I’m Ariel Cruz Pizarro welcome to this movie we will see 6 days of travel from Cusco in Peru to Ovalle in Chile winter vacation trip in a tourist package with a double-decker bus from the Alex Tour company the complete package was 12 days to get to know Cusco and Machu Picchu this video is the return, from day 7 to 12 Cusco – Tacna – Arica – Ovalle, 2,500 km of route as you saw, on day 6 we went to Machu Picchu which was the great tourist destination that motivated us we managed to get there, tour, get to know, walk the circuit it was a wonderful experience, very moving and that is in the other video, in the other part the idea of ​​these two long videos or almost movies is that you are one more passenger of our trip in these wonderful winter vacations in Cusco, a part of us stayed in Hotel San Agustin Internacional in Cusco inside it has nods to the architecture of Gaudí and this was our room, which I shared with Luis, another of the travelers a big greeting in In the morning we had breakfast, I took out several things we have eggs, muña mate for the altitude breads, bread with cheese and ham, variety of fruits, juice and this is the area of ​​​​the restaurant where we had breakfast, and then you can have lunch the hotel was super nice (ambient sound) Sunday June 30, seventh day of travel in another tourist bus we went out to tour the outskirts of Cusco this city that was once the capital of the Inca empire and is now home to thousands of Peruvians if you come on your own what we will do today is part of the City Tour of Cusco it is the city tour offered by several tourist agencies each with its differences but they usually visit the same places and the circuits are very similar already when we arrive at the first place of the walk, we see several tourist vehicles Cusco always has many tourists attracted by Machu Picchu and the historical importance of this city in the extinct Inca empire we are in Saqsaywaman, which is literally on the northern limit of Cusco in a high area, all of Cusco is above 3,200 meters of altitude and here we have 3,570 meters above sea level Saqsaywaman was a ceremonial temple of the Incas and also a fortress, that’s why its location is here, looking at the city from above, what’s also surprising is how they worked the stones and rocks to be able to have these constructions as a visitor, one of the most curious and fun milestones was visiting the Chinkana chica which are some tunnels, some underground paths of the Incas, there is research on a network of tunnels that the Incas had in Cusco, especially a tunnel that went from here, from Sacsaywaman to the Temple of the Sun in the center of the city. Another very curious thing is this stone slide, also called Rodadero where people come to play, although I didn’t want to dare, hahaha, over there are the tourist vehicles, this place is huge, it’s very large and from here we have a perspective with the view of Cusco, the view from above Sacsaywaman is certainly very beautiful and impressive. Another thing, which may be different later, is that the planes that take off from Cusco pass through this area and have a privileged view of the city must be very nice to fly from here and see all this currently there is another airport under construction so it may be different later for this day, our tourist bus was a Modasa Zeus the first generation of this Peruvian company, with Volkswagen chassis and these economy seats, tourist seats then we went to another archaeological site called Qenqo, which has some labyrinths the site is higher, higher, but also in the vicinity of Cusco we entered one of the labyrinths, but I did not record much because it was narrower what yes, the view towards Cusco is super beautiful the third site we visited was Tambomachay also at height is a site with gardens, aqueducts, waterfalls very beautiful and impressive how they built all these things Inca architecture, I was fascinated, the walk ended in Munay Wasi, I couldn’t say exactly where it is, I couldn’t locate it on the map, but it was a place that sold jewelry and also clothes made with wool, it was a memorable moment because we were able to spend time with the alpacas, llamas, and guanacos, the wool comes from these animals, and we were able to feed them, the alpaca has the most valuable wool of the three , it’s nice to see these animals live, to be able to see them so close, feeding them was a very nice experience, I loved it, Monday, July 1, 2024, the eighth day of the trip, we are on a street where several buses are parked because we have already started our trip back to Chile, on the Alex Tour bus, I greet you, thank you very much for tuning in and for joining us on this entire adventure , presenting the bus, I travel in an individual panoramic seat, a Salon Cama category bus. They are wide seats in a 2-1 configuration with very good legroom. I have a leg rest and I am very comfortable. We have a single seatbelt, the normal one at the top, there’s space for packages, a reading light, and an air conditioning vent. I also have USB ports to charge devices like cell phones. On the side, I have the seat recline button. I greet you again and thank you for tuning in, for clicking and enjoying this. In the head area, we have a cover and the seat has memory gel. It’s a very comfortable seat . The service included a neck pillow and a blanket. We were super comfortable. And on the side, we have cup holders and the bus heater . Now I’m showing you the bathroom. We have a mirror, a sink with a water tap , and we also have hand soap. Here we have toilet paper and something important is that this bus bathroom is only for urinating, for the other things we stop at gas stations or when we get off to eat , the bus also makes different stops (ambient sound) we will see the best of the landscapes because I go in the panoramic seat of this double-decker bus in the heart, I was very happy with the entire trip it was much better than I expected or dreamed of from Chile, and we will see it, most of the tourist packages that come to Cusco are with plane trips, the usual or usual thing is to come by plane it is much shorter and even we as Chileans have direct flights from Santiago to Cusco, with LATAM making this trip on a double-decker tourist bus seemed like an extraordinary adventure, I love to travel on double-decker buses I have traveled many times on double-decker buses I had to experience this and it also makes me happy that you can learn more through the screens and see all these beautiful things that I was able to experience I thank God for so many things, for this wonder we are being privileged witnesses as travelers that we lived all these experiences but also you who can see the entire trip through these videos of this panoramic view I have the best seat of the entire trip I was one of the first people who reserved this trip for the same reason I wanted this seat this time we retrace the path we took we are taking the same route that we saw to get to Cusco but, as we traveled with the sun in our favor the sun is behind us we will be able to appreciate the landscapes of this route much better until at some point the instant of sunset or night arrives in a large part of this route, we will be bordering the Vilcanota River which is the same river of the Sacred Valley of the Incas the same one that we also saw parallel to the Machu Picchu train and that also passes through the town of Machu Picchu, through Aguas Calientes the landscapes of the Vilcanota River valley are very beautiful both for the vitality that the river brings to the surrounding lands and cities as well as for that particular beauty that this area of ​​Peru has we are in high altitude areas, more than 3,000 meters above sea level but we see vegetation, we see a lot of life, there is agriculture, livestock cities, towns, something that is shocking to me blows my mind because in Chile it is unthinkable at these altitudes, over 3,000 meters, we have eternal ice or snow, there are no cities, just bare rock, very little flora and fauna, what you see are the condors flying over from above . Look, please! What a beautiful route (ambient sound) (ambient sound) it is difficult to choose the views, I recorded the entire trip in detail but I am selecting the best for you, the best from Cusco to Ovalle, we are seeing the most beautiful of this Andean route from Cusco , a route in the mountains, in the mountainous areas of Peru , which in itself is a very mountainous country. I also mentioned it in the other video, but it is impressive to think about how the Incas, mainly their messengers, the chasquis, traveled on foot all these reliefs with the altitude, the climate and its different obstacles; how was it possible to communicate, maintain and dominate such a large empire by walking on foot because they did not have horses, the chasquis traveled the empire on foot, they were accompanied by llamas to carry cargo, but everything was done on foot and the incursions or military conquests were also on foot Cusco was the capital of the Inca empire, the city where we began this return trip and the entire trip that we will make, the more than 2,000 km of route that we will travel by bus to Ovalle, all of this was part of the Inca empire, of the Tahuantinsuyo, an empire crossed on foot, traveling is enriching, and we are being privileged witnesses of how the sun sets in the mountains of the Vilcanota River valley, this sacred river of the Incas at more than 3,000 meters above sea level (ambient sound) Speaker: purple mazamorra, zambito rice … already at night, we stopped in Sicuani, about 150 km from Cusco, we made a brief stop so we could eat something , we looked for food places, but there were almost none nothing open at the time I took the opportunity to take pictures of the bus, record it, it looks so pretty this Alex Tour bus has such a beautiful painting with the Chilean flag and shopping, I found a small stand attended by a lady I bought a portion of homemade chips, they were super good homemade chips, ugh, the best thing was the night trip to Tacna was calmer than the outward trip this time, we made a longer return in kilometers but the road is a main route that is in good condition to connect Cusco with Tacna, we traveled through Juliaca and Puno which are cities close to Lake Titicaca and both Juliaca and Puno have several tourist attractions especially based on Lake Titicaca in the bad part, it is a route with a lot of altitude Juliaca is about 3,800 meters above sea level, Puno has a similar altitude so some passengers on the bus had discomfort at night I took altitude pills, and tried to rest, sleep much I shouldn’t have eaten those chips, but fortunately nothing happened to me the trip was of about 800 km and most of the route is close to 4,000 meters (ambient sound) in the morning, on the route we could see the sunrise and the first rays of the morning sun it was a beautiful and pleasant view, enjoying southern Peru further on, on the route we were embraced by the camanchaca fog this morning fog that comes from the Pacific Ocean that enters the coasts and deserts, both in Peru and northern Chile the trip from Cusco to Tacna is long, we traveled most of the afternoon yesterday, all night, and now also part of the morning in Peru, as they are mountainous areas the distances by land are super long not only in kilometers but especially in travel times (ambient sound) with some fog, we entered the city of Tacna, the southern tip of Peru and this time we will take the time to get to know it better, to explore it more almost half of the tourists in Tacna are Chilean according to visitor statistics it is a destination that interests us a lot and that I loved, in fact I want to go back and I would return many times to Tacna on Tuesday, July 2, 8:20 in the morning we are at the Hotel Emperador in Tacna, in the downtown area again we were assigned room 510, a triple room with private bathroom I stayed with Luis, another traveler, and Michael, one of the bus drivers and the hotel welcomed us from the long trip with breakfast tea, bread, scrambled eggs, juice, things for the bread this ninth day of travel was free each one did what they wanted, so I focused, obviously, on my own things I went to lunch at a downtown restaurant, Herencia, I ate grilled chicken with french fries, salad and some natural juices, everything was exquisite the menu says that the chicken with the add-on was 22 soles, 5,400 Chilean pesos and you add the rest, very good, good price then I started walking around the center and walked towards the bus terminal area I am a fan of public transportation so if you give me a day off I usually do these things, I try to learn about transportation in Tacna there are 2 terminals. One terminal is the international one that has buses and cars, collective taxis that travel to Arica, which cross into Chile on another trip. On another date I made the crossing and I will share the experience because I crossed by bus and also by collective taxi. I knew both things and the other terminal is for national buses, those that travel to Lima, Ilo among many other cities. I took pictures of all the ticket offices so I take notes for possible future trips. Later I see the pictures and I know where each company goes and I can search for them later on the internet and find out more about each one . The platforms are super narrow, and you also need a ticket to get in , so I stood outside the terminal because if you stand outside you can capture the movement and see the buses from both terminals . For the fans, I stood there for hours and didn’t see anything strange. It was a calm experience, I wouldn’t say totally safe because we are in Latin America but I didn’t see any bad or unsafe situations with me , on the contrary, I got to see and record several drivers, many nice people who greeted the camera, from now on I am super grateful and here I am sharing with you the best, my favorites, inside all the buses what I saw that afternoon there is a third terminal that belongs to the Flores company that is also in the same area although I focused more on the other two and I didn’t take many photos but there you have it They have as a curiosity, taxis have fixed rates to the center are 6 soles or 2,000 Chilean pesos, from the terminal to the center, totally scam-free, I loved that Wednesday, July 3, the tenth day of the trip, I am getting on a double-decker tourist bus in Peru, these buses are called mirabus, a panoramic bus and we spent the whole day doing a city tour of Tacna and its surroundings, the first stop we had was the Paseo de las Aguas and / or Parque de Topiarios Animales is a park that has trees with animal shapes (ambient sound) for me, this trip was the first time I was in Tacna knowing it and I was pleasantly surprised to see these public parks that are beautiful, it is not the only park with trees with animals in Tacna and besides being beautiful, they are also well-kept environments, I always saw people fixing the trees, cleaning, taking care of them and the environment is beautiful apart from the city tour, but important for us as a context, on the corner of this park is the 28 de Julio Fair , which is one of the main markets of Tacna Tacna is a city that attracts many tourists for its cheap prices on good merchandise and this fair is one of those important places . Guide: Dear Aurora, happy birthday! May God bless you and shower a thousand blessings on you, and give you many years of life. That’s right, on the trip we celebrated Aurora’s birthday, a beautiful way to celebrate life, hahaha. The next stop was on the outskirts of Tacna at the Spirit and Pisco Miculla winery . There, they welcomed us, taught us about their work, we were able to taste some wines, and people were also able to buy wines and piscos. they treated us super well, super friendly, things were delicious the vineyards look very pretty in the Pachía area, the bus made another stop at a business where they sell homemade corn pastries in Chile, corn pastry is a hot lunch dish but here in Tacna this corn pastry is a dessert, like a cake they are different, and it was very delicious as one advances and moves away from Tacna, everything becomes more desert-like this is the route that connects Tacna with Bolivia, Route 40 of Peru this stop was one of the ones I liked the most and I remember the Miculla archaeological park, the Miculla petroglyphs we took a walk, not so long, although it does have some unevenness the most iconic part is crossing the ravine on a suspension bridge that, obviously, moves, there is wind, but it is beautiful (ambient sound) I thought it was nice to be able to get to know and experience the geography of the surroundings of Tacna in this way, I liked it and on top of that they explained a little about the petroglyphs that have been found in the area, very nice the last part of the tour is the Balneario Calientes by schedule, we did not bathe, but it is a hot springs spa , the signs said that 3 hours of bathing in the pools cost 10 soles 2,500 Chilean pesos, cheap the place seemed nice, quiet also in the city of Tacna there are several hotels that offer sauna, spa and massages in that they have a very interesting offer our mirabus or panoramic bus is a Clave 7 model, a Peruvian bodywork manufacturer that builds near Lima and the chassis and engine platform is Japanese, Hino brand our agency was Aventura Inka, and Mari, who you will see later, accompanied us on the entire adventure including Machu Picchu, she was always with us as a curious and good thing, several tourist agencies in Tacna have these buses and tourist circuits our panoramic bus ride cost us 25 soles at the bus terminal they changed 10 thousand Chilean pesos for 40 soles so 25 soles would be like 6 thousand Chilean pesos Tacna is good, pretty and cheap, at least for us on Thursday July 4th, day 11 of the trip. 8:40 in the morning we had breakfast super early and we are already boarding everything to return to Chile. I recorded some views of our beautiful double-decker bus and I was also able to record everyone who participated in this wonderful trip. Memory is fragile and it is good to be able to remember them all. Here we see Don Alex and his wife Elia, the owners of the bus and the tour company (ambient sound) (the passengers say they hope the camera works miracles) (ambient sound) (now they say goodbye to me and shower me with love, hahaha) (now we will see the first floor of the bus…) (they want to go to Santiago, but I am not always there, hahaha…) (ambient sound) (yes, it is a video!) Ariel: It is a pleasure to be able to share with everyone! How are you, friends from Chile? Well here from Tacna, Peru very amazed to meet so many wonderful people from your country, Chile, and that come to know the city of Tacna and to be able to live great experiences in many of the sectors that on this occasion we were able to experience like Cusco and Machu Picchu so we invite you to come to our city to be able to live great experiences and to know a part of us well with much love we will receive you here in the border city of Tacna a big greeting and kisses, to everyone, especially to you, Ariel Ariel: Thank you very much, Mari! We’re leaving now. Obviously the landscapes and Machu Picchu have been impressive but I think it’s nice to be able to rescue the human side of this epic adventure that everyone could appear, Don Alex and Michael who are the drivers all the traveling companions Mari who was our guide throughout Peru in memories remain emotions, but memory is fragile with faces and that’s why it’s nice to have this, to be able to remember them and remember ourselves over the years when we see this video in 10 years, in 20 years I traveled alone, I didn’t know anyone but I felt the warmth of this big foster family and I always felt super welcomed it was super nice to be able to share these 12 days with everyone, I carry them in my heart and I hope this video helps us all remember these beautiful days passing to Chile, we only went to the Chacalluta Customs because they are customs with integrated procedures, you only go to one on each side of what I wrote down, first you go to a window to make the formal exit from Peru at another window you enter Chile they check the entire bus, check all luggage with a scanner and also with dogs in the official links of the governments there is all the information on how to enter Peru or how to enter Chile when you enter Chile, generally you have to make a customs declaration and another declaration of agricultural products, you cannot bring fruits and vegetables in this customs, the public transport buses that make the Tacna – Arica trip also pass through our line, and they pass constantly for me, Chacalluta was the perfect moment to be able to photograph and record This Alex Tour double-decker bus is one of the main protagonists of this trip that has taken us safe and sound through the thousands of kilometers of desert and mountains that we have crossed on this bus adventure that, moreover, has traveled almost all of Chile and has also gone to Argentina on these tourist trips and soon to Brazil as well. In the meantime, let’s see the details and continue with the adventure. Alex Tour bus 116 is a Marcopolo Paradiso 1800 DD G7 double-decker bus, Mercedes-Benz chassis, Brazilian manufacture, with 43 seats, a sleeping lounge , 31 seats on the second floor, 12 seats on the first floor and 1 bathroom downstairs. The bus was registered in December 2013 and was originally Queilen Bus bus 88 , running the Castro – Santiago route in southern Chile temporarily. In Chile, the Marcopolo Paradiso 1800 DD double-decker bus has existed since generation 6 to the current 8, a model present since 2002 and this bus is from the Generation 7, that’s why G7 this is the original publication of the tourist trip on Alex Tour’s facebook single date for winter vacation the entire trip cost 950,000 Chilean pesos about 1,000-1,050 dollars with the conversion the link to this map is in the description of all the videos, in the Super Map the first part is in Machu Picchu and this second part is in Cusco I am a writer and editor of books, in Arielcruz.cl you can see my works and works a huge thank you to those who have bought and read my books in addition to the members of the channel, the people who give a Super Thanks and the dear subscribers of this YouTube channel already crossing into Chile, we have to move the clocks forward 1 hour and a short distance from the border is the city of Arica the city of eternal spring, with its beaches with warm waters or not as cold as in the rest of Chile Tacna and Arica have an enormous relationship of interdependence as good border cities people go to Tacna a lot to buy good and cheap things a bit like It would be Ciudad del Este in Paraguay and also in terms of health, opticians, dentists, tourism those types of services are cheaper in Peru in the case of Arica, the regional economy moves with mining, industrial fishing, commerce, tourism, and the port of Arica that moves a lot of national cargo many Bolivian trucks and also some Peruvian trucks what we see now is the Morro de Arica a super significant hill of the city both for its view, and for the historical part in Arica we had free time, everyone did what they wanted we left earlier than the original plan to cross to Arica and so people could get to know that’s the nice thing, being able to take advantage of every opportunity we have to enjoy life is super short, we don’t know what will happen tomorrow so now is the time to do things, to enjoy after lunch, I managed to find a taxi and asked him to take me to the top of the hill, a round trip the taxi charged me 15 thousand pesos round trip, there are the conversion values. We are at the Morro de Arica, at the top of a hill about 130 meters high, which offers the best view of the entire city of Arica from the port area to the extension of the city on its sides . There is a breeze here, the Chilean flag also flies and the view is beautiful, an icon of the city of eternal spring , which is called that because of its mild climate, it is always sunny, warm, rich from a historical point of view. There is a military museum up here that I did not visit due to time. Fortunately today we live in times of peace, but Arica was the site of heroic resistance by Peru with Francisco Bolognesi and a heroic conquest also by Chile, the capture of the Morro de Arica in 1880. On the La Historia channel, as they did not tell you, I have seen the best work to tell the story of the War of the Pacific in a series of videos, super well narrated and neutral in case you want to go deeper and learn more about me. Partly, I am thankful to have been born in these times to be able to enjoy Chile, Peru and to be able to share my adventures with everyone without distinction of country or even language because all these videos have subtitles in many languages ​​Ariel: Arica, always Arica already at the bottom of the hill, outside the taxi, I was able to record one of the Arica buses, an Ashok Leyland. Something curious about public transportation in Arica is that there are some unique bus models like that one that is of Indian origin, there are buses that are only seen in Arica, hahaha (ambient sound) 15:20, it’s time to get on the bus to start returning (ambient sound) on this dear Youtube channel I have the complete Arica to Santiago trip on a TurBus bus, the longest bus trip in Chile. It is a long video of 44 minutes, we made the trip to Ovalle but we are going to skip most of the cities because we traveled directly, we did not go through Iquique, Antofagasta, or Copiapó, we will go directly to La Serena and Ovalle, I invite you to complement this trip with the other video so you can see the route city by city which is super beautiful mentally, I think that since it is a return trip, on the way back the views are enjoyed but it also has the mood or the atmosphere of a closure, of a sunset of a magic that is ending that we have also seen and we are returning fortunately for us, in my opinion this is one of the most beautiful parts of the route all these impressive landscapes between Arica and Iquique, with the climbs the extreme descents from the hill to the bottom of the ravines or valleys then go back up , and so on, it is fascinating as a passenger although also a route of great respect for the drivers (ambient sound) in something totally poetic, especially from the panoramic window which is a privileged place, although I have mentioned it many times we saw the sunset in the Atacama Desert, beautiful and impressive (ambient sound) (ambient sound) on the map we see the breaks, we stopped in Cuya, Pozo Almonte and Quillagua Cuya is a regional customs office, all the buses are controlled we had to get off with everything, luggage check with scanner, everything the same as Chacalluta in Pozo Almonte, which is the city on the highway that connects with the route that goes down to Iquique, we stopped to go to the bathroom, for dinner everyone ate where they wanted I ate fried chicken with rice and french fries, it was delicious and I was very hungry and entering at dawn we went through the Quillagua customs, another regional customs office since Iquique is a free trade zone, and there also the same check again, get everything off although it is boring, it serves to stretch your legs, at least and the rest, it is a night trip (ambient sound) Friday July 5, last day of the trip we stopped for breakfast and to go to the bathroom at a gas station near Copiapó we had a quiet trip in the desert and today we have to reach La Serena and Ovalle the bus continues to Pampa Grande and then I continue to Santiago the trip between Copiapó and La Serena gave us many postcards and beautiful moments we saw the Camanchaca fog the same fog we saw in the morning near Tacna it’s the same throughout the desert suddenly some areas manage to be clear but in most cases all morning it is cloudy or foggy and then it begins to clear after noon one of the notable things about traveling at this time is that in some areas the desert had purple flowers the blooms of the flowering desert although that year 2024 there were very few flowers but still from the road we could see some meadows in other videos of mine here on Youtube you can get to know the flowering desert much closer because I have visited it in different places in its years of maximum bloom we saw one of the G8 Premium from TurBus going to Calama notable because now they have eliminated that service to the north, they are Salon Cama buses and in the desert, with the fog, we saw one of the trains that carries minerals probably a train that carries mineral from iron (ambient sound) sunlight caught us crossing the Huasco River valley, near the city of Vallenar and something notable is that as we move south the desert will end and gradually transform into another landscape in a steppe, a little greener, with more vegetation and more humidity although it is still quite dry and wild, but it is a transition of the desert I think that on the bus you can get a sense of how enormous the Atacama Desert is, how enormous it is if you add it up or also consider the coastal desert of Peru we have been traveling for days and it is very long in the valley we have sun, but on the coast and in the mountains of the Cordillera de la Costa there is still Camanchaca one of the milestones of the road, one of my favorite parts of these routes in northern Chile is the Buenos Aires slope and this time despite the schedule, it is not so early anymore we still had to go down with a lot of fog this slope is the transition between the valley of the Atacama Desert you could say that it is the end of the Atacama Desert, and the coastal area we are going down the mountains of the Cordillera de the Coast and we are literally crossing this mountain range, going down it to reach the area near the Pacific Ocean is impressive, the views are impressive Elqui River, we are now in the beautiful city of La Serena one of the largest and most important cities in northern Chile tremendous tourist center, regional capital and also the stop for some travelers and here some travelers began to get off I could have gotten off here to take a bus to Santiago, but I continued to Ovalle anecdotally, we were able to cross and see the Guayacán iron train we saw the Ferronor train and now the CAP train we are very lucky, we have seen both trains (ambient sound) And look how the landscape changed! We are doing the inland route from La Serena and Coquimbo towards Ovalle, Route 43 that fall and winter of 2024 had several rains then, this area with a historic drought was overflowing with life, of green we are seeing, probably, one of the most beautiful views of the decade on this route, in this area as important and as exciting as it is to see these colors on the Las Cardas slope. It also happened that we were at cloud level as happened to us on the Buenos Aires slope, we had to go through the climb of the slope with fog again we crossed the mountains of the Cordillera de la Costa to reach the valley it is like the reverse of the other slope, we are doing the same thing, but in reverse (ambient sound) and already up in the valley, we have sun again and the beautiful views of the green color near the city of Ovalle beautiful, we have been privileged in many ways the trip was extremely beautiful, we saw impressive things we were able to enjoy many cities and it was a wonderful winter vacation Ovalle. Commune of about 120,000 inhabitants, land of vineyards and grapes for pisco, land of olive trees, avocados plums, apricots, custard apples, papayas, lemons, actually many fruits for export and domestic market and typical agricultural products such as goat cheese, we are arriving at the place where we started the trip and where, this time, we also finished it or in my case, we almost finished it because I continue to Santiago 3:45 pm on the clock, 24 hours and 25 minutes after leaving Arica we arrive at the city of Ovalle and the trip has ended (ambient sound) there goes our Alex Tour bus to Monte Patria and Pampa Grande thank you, thank you, thank you. Thanks for everything (ambient sound) the magic is over, the warmth and company of everyone is over, in a while everyone left, to Ovalle, Punitaqui, Monte Patria, Combarbalá some had to return to Santiago, I also said goodbye to everyone until there was no one left, I took pictures of several buses at the Ovalle terminal and returned to the starting point to be alone again it’s strange after being 12 days with other people all the time and every moment my trip was extended on the way there, I took an Andimar Premium bus to Copiapó, a beautiful bus I was able to share with the crew and I told them that I would take this crazy trip to Machu Picchu I spent the night resting in La Serena and traveled on a beautiful new Cormar Bus bus to get here to the Ovalle terminal that’s how I embarked on this adventure to go to Cusco and Machu Picchu now it’s time for something similar. I could go directly to Santiago but I preferred to return to La Serena, I bought a ticket on a Premium bus from Cormar Bus. The Premium buses are those that have seats that recline 180 ° , it is a wonderful seat, the bus was going to Antofagasta and Calama. I took it for a short trip because I take advantage and because I am crazy, hahaha (ambient sound) I spent the weekend resting from my vacation looking at the beach, sleeping late, eating super well, I went to the movies to see Inside Out 2, and already more rested, I returned on a Pluss Chile bus. I managed to travel on one of the Irizar i6 3.90 buses that I think are so beautiful. The crew also greeted me in Santiago as a closing, it was 12 days of an unforgettable trip, a privilege to have been able to share with such a beautiful group, to have seen and experienced such wonderful things. Life is short, one does not know when the last day will be, that is why I think we have to enjoy and make the most of it. I wish God bless you very much, that he take care of you and that that magic I hope this wonderful journey has reached your home. Thank you for watching, thank you for enjoying, and we’ll see you in more videos. Bye! Hahaha

Épicas vacaciones de invierno, paquete de viaje de 12 días en bus y tren desde Chile a Machu Picchu, servicio de fecha única ofrecido y realizado por Alex Tour, empresa de transporte local y turístico de la zona de Ovalle, Monte Patria y Pampa Grande, en el norte de Chile. Viaje en un bus de dos pisos Marcopolo Paradiso 1800 DD G7 con chasis Mercedes Benz, placa FXZX16 y con 43 asientos Salón Cama.
Este viaje de retorno comienza en Cusco, la antigua capital del Imperio Inca, ciudad donde hicimos un city tour donde visitamos Sacsaywamán, Qenqo, Tambomachay y un lugar donde pudimos alimentar alpacas, llamas y guanacos.
Desde Cusco viajamos a Tacna a través de Juliana y Puno, en una ruta que cruza la sierra de Perú, las montañas sobre los 3.000 metros de altitud, bordeando el río Vilcanota y viendo sus cultivos agrícolas, con paisajes muy bonitos.
En Tacna, conocí los terminales de buses de la ciudad, e hicimos un city tour donde nos llevaron al Parque Topiarios Animales, las bodegas de vino Spirit, el pueblo de Pachía, los petroglifos de Miculla y las aguas termales Calientes.
En el viaje de retorno a Chile, cruzamos la frontera en la Aduana Chacalluta, tuvimos tiempo libre en Arica y aproveché de poder ver toda la ciudad desde el morro de Arica.

  1. Yo tmbien fui a machu picchu y yo vi ese bus de Alex Tour en Cusco, me sorprendi bastante ya que no me esperaba que Alex Tour llegara hasta peru. ¡Buen video!

  2. Que bonito viaje Ariel! muy hermosos los paisajes de esa hermosa zona de nuestro pais y el vecino. Saludos!

  3. Muy buen video como siempre Ariel. Me llama la atención que en Perú como Bolivia y Ecuador los buses de dos pisos 6×2 desde 2018 en adelante son todos de 14 400 metros de longitud. Es poca la diferencia pero oara alguien que sabe de buses, esa diferencia hace ver a los DD mas imponentes.

  4. Ariel, nos gustaría hacer el recorrido completo contigo, ya que falta la primera parte. Muchas bendiciones desde Rivera Uruguay

  5. Un tip para la altura: si comes algo pesado (huevo, lácteos, mucha carne o grasa), hay una bebida llamada "Muña", que se hace con hojas de la planta homónima. En un tour por Ayacucho, como habíamos comido puro huevo en el desayuno a lo largo de la semana, me empecé a sentir mal al subir a un atractivo turístico llamado Pikimachay (cuevas con pinturas rupestres de una de las primeras civilizaciones peruanas), y pues con la muña, los dolores estomacales se me fueron, es un santo remedio para la altura si comes pesado antes de subir a lugares de altura. Saludos desde Ventanilla, Callao, me encantan tus vídeos.

  6. Hola Ariel, saludos desde Costa Rica, un fan suyo, saludos amigo, cuando sube la primera parte, ya que disfruto mucho de tus excelentes videos, es refrescante escucharle amigo

  7. Siempre es un gusto total y atrapante ver tus vídeos, GRAN ARIEL.
    Tu trabajo, relatos y risa son un extracto formidable de tu pasión por el transporte.

    Un abrazo enorme y sigue con ello.

  8. Hermoso video Ariel…. Muy bonita bendición. Podrías liberar el video de ida. Saludos.

  9. Ariel felicitaciones por tu hermosa aventura,, saludos cordiales desde Putaendo, v región,, viaje desde Putaendo a Buenos Aires el año 2024,,en auto,, fue maravilloso,

  10. Eso de tener el precio del servicio de taxi a la vista de todo pasajero habla bastante de la ética que hay en Tacna.. por criterio, si son visitantes frecuentes y VECINOS , por qué aprovecharse de ellos… muy buen video …

  11. Al fin un video tuyo en Perú!!!
    Bueno espero disfrutes tu viaje espero vuelvas más seguido por aquí

    Próximo viaje sugiero ir más al norte Arequipa, Ica Lima y si te quedan más ganas yendo al norte hasta Trujillo claro seria en bus

    Saludo a la distancia

  12. Antes de la pandemia había más opciones de buses para ir a Chile y Argentina lo que sucede es que las empresas como Cruz del Sur, Civa, Oltursa estuvieron golpeadas por el Covid y recién se están recuperando

    Ahora está empezando a operar los buses para Argentina hace escala en Chile las empresas El Rápido Internacional y la empresa La Veloz del Norte

    Saludos

    Ariel Cruz Pizarro

  13. Muy expectacular viaje te felicito por esa travesía y gracias por mostrar lugares increíbles como esos.. Saludos y felicidades…

  14. Obvio que tenía que acompañarte en el regreso, no me iba a quedar solo en Cusco, espectacular vídeo, muy bueno para los que no tenemos los medios para viajar y conocer otras culturas, grande Ariel.
