Day 3
Good morning, travelers. I got to the hotel at night, and it looked beautiful, but now in the morning,
it is just spectacular.
It's a beautiful hotel. The pool is huge.
But I couldn't get in because it's early and I'm off to learn now.
The sea has something that always puts me in a good mood.
Well, let's have breakfast and then I have some surprises for you.
The boat excursion to the Ballestas islands is the most famous activity in Paracas.
On the way to the islands, you get to appreciate a figure called the chandelier, which like the Nazca Lines,
it's exact origin and design are still somewhat of a mystery.
The Ballestas Islands are a set of small islands inhabited by a great amount of birds,
penguins, and seals.
Although it isn't allowed to get off, the boats get really close so you see the animals.
Most of them are guano-producing birds like the guanay and the booby.
The smell of guano is pretty strong, and it can be cold, so make sure you come with a jacket.
The islands have a special charm. If you are lovers of wildlife and want to get some good photos,
you can't miss this visit.
This is the airport of Pisco, and I am waiting for my bus-no.
I am waiting for them to let us get on a jet and fly over the Nazca lines.
This can be done from three airports. This one which is the Pisco one, the Nazca one obviously,
which is the closest one and the shortest and cheapest flight,
and also from the Ica airport.
Due to time factors, I am leaving from here. It's pretty popular, there are many tourists.
Take a Dramamine before going on the plane, because it moves a ton.
In the first half hour of the flight, you get to appreciate the amazing landscape of the Peruan desert.
Little by little, as we got close to Nazca, the desert takes another color and you can see straight lines,
and geometric figures as if something huge made them.
With a chewing gum to keep my ears from hurting, my camera in my hands, and paying attention to the pilot,
who indicated the most figures with the plane's wings.
The mysterious Nazca lines have been preserved for over 1000 years due to the lack of rain in this desert.
The investigators still don't know the exact scientific explanation for the lines and their purpose,
though the most commonly accepted theory is that it was some sort of astronomic calendar.
You can clearly see in the desert a giant himmingbird drawn, a spider, a tree, some hands, a monkey,
and the most enigmatic of all, a human figure that some call "the astronaut".
I survived, and I flew through!
I even have a certificate saying that I didn't die!
Guys, this was truly impressive. The flight does move quite a bit, so hold on. It shakesa fair amount.
But it's very impressive.
The lines...forget about the lines; just thinking that they were made so long ago.
And the way they made all of them so perfect, so symmetrical,
and I don't know. It was truly very impressive.
i liked it a lot, and I do recommend everyone to do it.
And if you like enigmatic things, this is in the top ten.
If you see me looking a little down, it's because I'm getting a cold.
But, Peruvian food will surely take care of this, so let's go eat.
Guys, I'm back in Lima, here with Margarita! Say hi.
What's up, how are you?
My last visit in Lima. To be honest, I'm only back here to go to Titicaca lake tomorrow,
so I will only be spending one night here.
I'll be here in the "La Reserva" park because I'll be seeing some fountains that dance around, and they are colorful.
Let's head in.
Well, Margarita, this is like Disneyland!
This is the Disneyland of Lima!
It is one of the main attraction points for local people, too.
Wow...and that is huge, too!
All of the "quinceañeras" and the girlfriends come here for the picture.
Of course!
And every now and then, there is another fountain that makes a show and presentation, and we're gonna see it
Hello!
I am Rodrigo.
Rodrigo, high five!
What's up!
Guys, I said in twitter and many other places that I would be here at 8.
It's not even 8 yet, and there are already people that I'm meeting.
Say hi! Wow, you're a lot of people!
Guys, I'm really happy that you're here. Thanks for watching my videos,
and I heard from over here that you went to New York, and they used my videos as a guide
Look at what Juan Antonio just gifted me. It's a chullo. Does it look good on me?
Yes!
At the end of the day, we were more than 50 people gathered thanks to the real and imaginary trips.
I can't express how deeply grateful I am for getting to know you,
and seeing all of the different things you gifted me.
Travelers of all ages giving me tips and gifts from their country.
In my career as an actor, I've been able to work many times with people who admire my work?
But this was different.
We were gathered around a passion, not around a person.
That is even more satisfying.
I am very happy, "Viva Peru", and its people!
You're making me very happy! I didn't think so many people would come, so I am very happy.
All of my efforts are worth it, truly. I love you!
Travelers, I said I'd stay in two different places in Lima to show you the different lodging options that there are.
I think I went from one end to the other.
This is the Belmond Miraflores Park hotel, and it is incredible.
It is very beautiful. Just look at my room.
It is spectacualar.
That bed over there...I can't wait to do the mattress test.
But since I got here, they have had sensational service. They welcomed me with a Peruvian tea,
which I already forgot its name, but it was really good.
Very lovely, very friendly, and as a welcome, I have a "Mr. Estrada" and everything,
and some traditional desserts from Peru.
As well as my little slippers and everything.
It's a shame I have to leave so early tomorrow, because I could stay here in this hotel and enjoy.
Mattress test.
Well, before this video is over, I want to truly thank each and every person who went with me to the meet-up
I did not expect so many people to actually go.
From Rodrigo, who is six years old, to some older adults... I truly cannot believe it.
Thanks a ton, guys.
I got so happy that I filmed very little.
It's incredible to see how much satisfaction Alanxelmundo has given me,
and for the simple fact of sharing my passion fro traveling.
This motivates me to not dissapoint, and to keep making videos with as much love as possible.
Really, thanks a ton.
Thanks to everyone who went, and everyone who couldn't, well, maybe next time.
Look, they gave me gifts. Some bottles, shirts, a chullo...
Really, thank you guys. This is something that I'll never forget.
Please comment, like this video, and share these videos with the people you know who love to travel.
Today has been an incredible day, travelers.
Next episode:
I just landed in Juliaca.
And it was an honor to be sacrificed?
...from the Titicaca lake.
...well, you eat the clay.
This is the city of Puno.
All of the pretty animals go straight to the frying pan.
