Have you ever wondered what Mayapay View looked like last year?

Here’s our long-form footage from our route through Mayapay View → Mayapay Brews → Altar Falls.

The Mayapay Viewdeck was still under construction at the time, making this a little throwback to how the place looked before its recent changes.

The place is easy to miss if you're traveling fast along the road because the entrance is surrounded by bushes, and the trail going down is quite steep. It’s accessible only by motorcycle, but you can also walk down since the stream is only a few meters away from the main road.
