Over 11,000 feet above sea level, surrounded by giant mountains, into a narrow valley, a hairpin turn and wild crosswinds! That’s the flight into the Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport ( CUZ ) in Cusco (sometimes Cuzco), Peru.
Not only did this flight keep us on the edge of our seats, it was one of our most beautiful airplane rides to date. Above the snowcapped Andes – we’d never flown this close to a mountain.

Yikes! I’d have to take a happy pill – or two – to take that on.
That should help! 😉
Well I guess if you have to die, that’s a pretty place to do it! 😉 Glad you stayed safe…
Didn’t think of that. Still, better off safe… thanks.
We did that flight into Cuzco on our honeymoon in 1982. I thing my husband still has the scars on his arm from my finger nails.
I don’t doubt it!
Beautiful view
!
Thanks!
I put my head between my legs just watching it! lol
Yup!
