Andes from the Air, a photo from Lima, South

Photographer's Note

I'm on flight AeroCondor Q6-221 from Lima to Cuzco, and I can tell you that it is one of the most scenic flight routes that I have ever been on. Unlike most other passenger routes, this one flies just under 20000 ft, giving you an aeriel view of the magnificent Andes.

Thank you, Mr. Pilot!

Lucky you, Nivas. I flew the same route last year, but I only saw the Titicaca and after that clouds ... Hmmm, now I see what I missed!
TFS, Peter
