There cannot be many places in the world where just 28 minutes in the air provides you with such a drastic change in ecosystems. Taking off from Cusco airport at 3310 meters, crossing the 6000-meter peaks of the Andes in 5 minutes or so, virtually no cruise phase and then descending to land at 180 meters above sea level in the Amazon. An absolutely fantastic trip with a great group, so note to self: I must do this more often!
