ViagensTranscrição
00:00I was always afraid to travel to India because of everything that's said.
00:04The most polluted country in the world, dangerous, chaotic, unhygienic.
00:08They warned me time and time again, don't eat anything anymore, you're going to get sick.
00:13Case? I didn't actually do it.
00:14And today, after exploring its cities and tasting its street food,
00:18to lose myself among temples, markets and glances,
00:20I'll tell you the truth about traveling through India.
00:24My future travelers!
00:25Today I greet you from my room in a much more intimate video.
00:30so I can tell you all about my experiences on this very different, very unique trip.
00:36I'll tell you about the things that impacted me the most, that were more like a culture shock.
00:40and also those things that I loved and that captivated me about this country.
00:45And yes, I'm also going to answer the big question of what happened to me.
00:48and how I felt after eating and drinking,
00:52all those street things that you yourself have already seen.
00:55So join me in this video, the end of my trip through India.
01:00How real is everything we see about India on social media?
01:03Dirt, pollution, chaos.
01:08Totally real.
01:10The chaos is so great that there is never any silence.
01:12Everyone is blowing the bugle nonstop.
01:15As soon as the taxi stopped at my hotel, the first thing I saw was a street stall
01:19all surrounded by garbage, where people used newspaper as napkins.
01:24And when I got off and walked back to my hotel, everything was polluted.
01:28My eyes and throat were itching so much, everything was full of trash and puddles of water
01:33and I even stepped in cow dung because there are cows everywhere.
01:37So, it's not a lie, nor an exaggeration, but it's not 100% the reality of the country.
01:44The thing is, for some reason this is what has gone viral on social media.
01:48The chaos of Delhi, especially Old Delhi.
01:51For some reason, what has gone viral on social media is the most chaotic part.
01:56especially in Old Delhi, the ancient and most chaotic heart of the capital.
01:59But in New Delhi it's a different story.
02:02Wide streets, beautiful architecture, historical monuments, and a much calmer energy.
02:08The most viral videos you see from India are about its food and the lack of hygiene when cooking.
02:14That's why I was terrified of eating here.
02:17And when you arrive, all of that is real; you see thousands of street food stalls.
02:21where everything is dirty, the oil is black, and there is a lot of trash around,
02:26people cooking on the floor.
02:28But it's also true that some food stalls look cleaner, more decent.
02:33And it was in those places where I took a little risk to try things out.
02:37I could have not tried anything because of all these street food stalls,
02:42There are also many nice restaurants, even luxurious ones,
02:46where you can go in and eat all you want
02:49and you spend around $15 to $20 per person
02:52It comes with an appetizer, dessert, everything, and the food is very good.
02:56But being in Delhi, I felt that these risks were worth it.
03:00and that it was a way to get to know the country much better.
03:02However, wherever you eat, the food in Delhi is very spicy.
03:06The flavors are very strong, different, and above all, spicy.
03:11In fact, I think that was what affected me the most.
03:14The spiciness was what made me feel sick.
03:16But I'm not going to tell you that yet, but later.
03:21Wow, without exaggeration, so many things shocked me on this trip to India
03:26And this is definitely a trip with a very strong cultural contrast.
03:31where you discover all their customs that may seem very strange to us,
03:36but for them these are completely normal things.
03:38For example, in India, burping after eating is not considered impolite.
03:43On the contrary, it can be shown as satisfaction that the food was very good.
03:49You can be in a public place and they're scratching their butts without even trying to hide it.
03:53because for them it is neither provocative nor rude.
03:56Indians are fascinated by observation; they are very curious, especially if you are a foreigner.
04:01Especially for women, there can be quite uncomfortable and undisguised glances.
04:05Not even a little bit, they stare at you so intently and that can be quite uncomfortable.
04:11I was very surprised to see so few women on the street.
04:14There were times when I was all alone and everyone around me was a man.
04:19And that made me wonder, is it so dangerous that there are no women and only men?
04:24And then I discovered that it's because most of them are housewives or work in enclosed spaces.
04:29And this is going to sound really crazy to you, and it's the order and middle of chaos.
04:34Just like you heard, because there were too many tuk-tuks, cars, motorcycles, and even cows passing by
04:40And I never saw a traffic light, a triangle, absolutely nothing.
04:45Everyone drove as they pleased; all I heard was chaos.
04:48everyone playing and playing the trumpet.
04:50And at the same time everyone seemed really focused.
04:53In India, nobody drives with the music blasting; everyone is focused on what to see.
04:57Where it's going to go, and curiously, I never saw a crash.
05:01At first I was kind of holding back, and then I realized that everything was coldly calculated.
05:07When you arrive in India you will realize that here they eat everything with their hands.
05:11There are no utensils of any kind, and for them it's not something dirty, it's something cultural.
05:15In fact, there is a technique behind it, and they feel that in this way they connect much more with food.
05:20Don't worry, if you go to the restaurant you'll be able to eat with cutlery.
05:24And yes, all of this might shock you a little at first,
05:27or a lot, and that doesn't mean it's good or bad, it's simply different.
05:32Traveling teaches you that customs change in a place
05:35and that respect is always the universal language.
05:38But such a difference that it's scary at first, then it makes you connect with something in yourself.
05:43Such a difference forces you to be fully alert,
05:47attentive to every detail, every sound, every taste.
05:51And right there, when you stop expecting everything on your trip to be perfect and beautiful for a photo,
05:55That's when Delhi starts to hook you.
05:58You begin to feel more than to see.
06:00And yes, India is not understood, it is lived.
06:03If you decide to travel to India, you travel without prejudice, with an open heart.
06:08eager to learn, to explore and above all to find yourself.
06:13Because this country is like a mirror, and when you see your reflection in it,
06:17You discover all that you have to be grateful for.
06:23So why don't I recommend that you travel to India alone if you're a woman?
06:27This answer may be very controversial because I imagine there must be many women.
06:32who have traveled alone and had good experiences.
06:35However, that wasn't my experience and I don't recommend it.
06:38I was never alone, I was always with a guide.
06:41And that gave me much more confidence in being able to enter the markets
06:44where there are mostly men.
06:46Here are many ugly news stories about things that have happened to women.
06:50And that's why I, I don't recommend it.
06:53The guide will not only take you to tourist sites and tell you the history.
06:57For me, the most important thing about a guide in this country is that they were with me.
07:01My guide would drop me off at the hotel, pick me up, and take me to different places.
07:05He would take me to good restaurants and recommend places for me to stay.
07:09And I'm really the type of traveler who doesn't like to travel with a guide.
07:13I like being on my own, feeling free, I don't have a schedule.
07:17But I feel that countries like India are places where it's preferably better if you go with a guide.
07:22My guide spoke Spanish, and that also helped me understand the story much better.
07:26Also, when you are accompanied by a local guide,
07:29That makes you avoid many men approaching you to talk to you.
07:32or even when they asked me for photos.
07:34He was the one who answered, and he said it was better not to.
07:36because he warned me that if I said yes even once,
07:39Then many more arrived, and it became more difficult to control the situation.
07:43My overall experience was very good.
07:45Obviously, you can't avoid the deep stares.
07:48But no one ever disrespected me.
07:50I loved my entire trip to India and I would definitely go back.
07:54But I would go back even with a guide.
07:59Of the things I was asked about most,
08:01How did I feel after eating all that Indian food?
08:05after drinking the most traditional things, all from street stalls?
08:09Well, first of all, I have to tell you that I liked it.
08:12Most of the things were very few, and I said something like, "I don't like this."
08:15Otherwise, I enjoyed it with a touch of fear because every single thing I tried was like,
08:19My God, please don't let this make me sick, don't let this give me any trouble.
08:22And I honestly think this has been a success because I never got diarrhea.
08:27And I had heard that it was even normal for tourists to go to the bathroom many times.
08:31What it did give me was something like indigestion.
08:34She was burping a lot, her stomach was a little hard,
08:37I had some stitches in my stomach
08:39And what really affected me for a few days was the spiciness.
08:44Spicy again.
08:45I am very sensitive, and in this country,
08:48So you tell people how,
08:49Please, no spicy.
08:51Everything itches.
08:52They say they don't add chili peppers,
08:53But the seasonings they use to flavor the food are still spicy.
08:57At least I am very sensitive.
08:59And again I started bleeding.
09:01That happened to me in Mexico,
09:03in a video doing,
09:04trying very spicy street food,
09:06It was horrible.
09:07And here in India the nightmare returned.
09:09I had brought my medication with me,
09:11Thank goodness,
09:11because I really didn't imagine going to a hospital in India
09:14and tell a doctor,
09:15Doctor, look at me back there, I've started bleeding.
09:19So, well,
09:20I decided on my own with medication.
09:22try to get much better
09:24And yes, it was quite uncomfortable.
09:26painful,
09:27but nothing serious
09:28And I'm feeling much better now.
09:30So if you come,
09:31I remember to bring all the medications.
09:33that you think you might need
09:34and prepare yourself for all those intense flavors.
09:40If you are one of those few travelers
09:43She has written to me saying that she dreams of coming here,
09:45I'll tell you how much I spent.
09:47Obviously, India will fit your budget.
09:50But this country is quite inexpensive.
09:52and you can afford to treat yourself to some luxuries.
09:55Regarding hotels,
09:57I recommend you stay at four or five stars
10:00so that you can guarantee that it is a completely clean place,
10:04comfortable.
10:05I stayed in several hotels that I really liked,
10:08which surprised me,
10:10super nice rooms,
10:11comfortable,
10:12clean,
10:12where I felt comfortable
10:14and that after emerging from the chaos,
10:16where you see so much dirt,
10:18pollution,
10:18to be able to reach a place where you truly feel comfortable.
10:21I usually paid between $50 and $70 a night
10:25breakfast included
10:26And obviously you can find much cheaper options,
10:30from $20,
10:31But you're going at your own risk.
10:33The same applies to the topic of food.
10:36If you like,
10:36You can eat absolutely anything on the street
10:38and you're going to spend very little money
10:40because street food is extremely cheap,
10:43But if what you want is to eat well,
10:45tasty,
10:46You can even eat local food,
10:48but in good restaurants,
10:49You're going to spend between 10, 15,
10:52maximum $20 per person
10:54with entrance,
10:55drinks and dessert.
10:56But for me, the most important thing
10:58It's about investing in a good guide
10:59speak your language
11:00because this is what it will depend on
11:02that your first time in India
11:03may it be an excellent experience.
11:05My guide is Ismail,
11:07You knew him,
11:08They speak Spanish very well.
11:09And I never left the hotel without my guide.
11:11because that made me feel much safer.
11:13The only place I visited without a guide
11:15It was Goa,
11:16which is where the beaches are,
11:17in the mountains.
11:18That's much, much more relaxed.
11:20The guide cost me $340
11:22all those days I was with him.
11:25We visited Delhi,
11:26Agra,
11:26which is where the Tezmahal is located.
11:28and other very touristy places
11:29And from there we went to Jaipur.
11:31All of that was by private transport,
11:33a sofer who was always with us
11:35from day to night
11:37And I truly feel it's worth it.
11:39It also included all the entries
11:41to the temples,
11:42to the palaces,
11:43to the Taj Mahal
11:43and all the street food I tried.
11:45And well,
11:46If you decide to come to India,
11:47I've included the social media links in my guide.
11:48What is Maravillas India Tours?
11:51Another important point
11:52is that most countries
11:53They need a visa to enter India.
11:55It costs approximately $40.
11:58The price varies depending on the season
12:00and according to the number of days
12:01that you're going to be there.
12:02You can process everything online
12:04on their official website
12:05and it takes a while to approve it
12:06about three days.
12:09Regarding the tickets,
12:10I flew from Madrid
12:11with the airline Fin Air
12:13and it stops in Finland
12:14and it cost me $350
12:16one way.
12:17You can also find
12:18round trip
12:19from Madrid
12:19for $600.
12:21From Miami,
12:22$700.
12:24From Mexico City,
12:25$1,200.
12:26And from Caracas,
12:27$1,700.
12:29In conclusion,
12:30India is a country
12:30that shakes you,
12:32It challenges you
12:32and it transforms you.
12:33Where chaos reigns
12:34It has order,
12:35poverty coexists
12:36with spirituality
12:37and every glance
12:38It reminds you
12:39that you are alive.
12:40This trip reset me
12:41And I feel like I came
12:42at the right time
12:43for me.
12:44I was so terrified to come
12:46who always said
12:47I will never travel to India
12:49and above all
12:49because of all that news
12:51that they saw
12:51on social media
12:52about things against women.
12:54And today,
12:55after having been
12:56several days enjoying
12:57this country,
12:58I can say that it has been
12:59one of the trips
13:00most incredible
13:01and transformers
13:02of my life.
13:03I'm not going to tell you
13:04You have to travel to India,
13:05You're going to love it.
13:06No.
13:07India is not an easy destination,
13:08It's not an easy destination
13:10And it's not a country either.
13:11for everyone.
13:12Maybe you and I
13:13let's live exactly
13:15The same in this country
13:16And I loved him
13:17and you hate it.
13:18So it's a decision
13:19very personal.
13:20What I do recommend
13:22is if you decide
13:22come to India
13:23Do it with your soul,
13:25with respect
13:25and above all
13:26with caution.
13:27In my case,
13:28Yes, I would return.
13:29because of everything you've seen
13:30in this video
13:31It's just
13:31a little bit
13:32of this gigantic country.
