I'm off to Peru in September which also includes the add on to the Amazon rainforest. I'm a bit anxious about all the flying. I'm not too bothered about the flight to and from Lima. It also includes four internal flights which i feel apprehensive about.

If anyone has been here could they let me know what airline the internal flights are with and reassure me about the safety

I've just returned from this trip and had a wonderful time. The internal flights are with LAN Airlines. It's a good airline, nice planes, lots of leg room and the flight attendants were friendly - I think it's a much nicer airline than Iberia. The coach journey from Cusco to Puno is very long (about 7 hours) but they make quite a few stops at interesting places so the time goes quickly.

When you do the Amazon add-on, make sure you take plenty of insect repellant, wear long sleeves and take lightweight rainwear - it can get very hot and humid even though it's raining. The lodges you stay in are very basic but they are set in very beautiful surroundings. The food is great - plain but plenty of it.

If you need any further info, just let me know.

Thank-you, Jill, for reassuring me about the internal flights in Peru. Now I feel more confident about my forthcoming trip in September which I'm really looking forward to. Anyone else going on 17th September? It would be great to hear from you.
