Sacred Valley Aeriel Photo

Photographer’s Note

View of the Sacred Valley from the flight

Thanks to the pilots of Aero Condor Q6221 from Lima to Cuzco. They flew us over some really interesting landscapes including Mt. Salkantay and then the Sacred Valley as shown below.

I'm not sure which town this exactly was, but I do remember the captain going over the PA saying it was the Sacred Valley. Besides the town on the right, you can see the Urubamba river snaking its way through the valley.

Another bit of information: If at you go to Peru, and if at all you do fly from LIM-CUZ (which I;m prettu sure you would), make sure you ask the check-in desks to give you a window seat on the left side of the aircraft. This would obviously be on the right hand side if you are flying in the opposite direction.
The seat will offer you stunning views of the Sacred Valley and Mt. Salkantay, and is worth the $100 ticket.

Hi Nivas,
Great aerial picture. It should be nicer if there were no shadow of cloud, but I know that nothing you can do about it. Greatly captured.
