HUMANITARIAN: Peru snow state of emergency - meeberg - 09-01-2013
The Peruvian government has extended to nine more regions a state of emergency called to cope with unusually cold weather and heavy snowfall.
From Lima-Callao, the capital of Peru, several flights with C130 bring needed goods for the people in the hidden areas. Those flights are challenging in the high mountains of the Andes mountains.
You now can book 10 new flights in Humanitarian Flights of the BID section.

WOW, these Andes mountains sure do get high quickly! C-130 ... no problem!
Thanks for the simulated opportunity to help the People of Peru during this State of Emergency because of the cold and vast amounts of snow.
