Flying over the amazon

My greatest discovery of this trip was that a helicopter is the ideal way to really appreciate the beauty of the amazon rainforest. Since it is completely level for hundreds of miles with hardly any hills at all it is almost impossible to see much from the ground. And the airliners usually fly too high, above the usual low rainclouds which cover up most of the view. Our helicopter flying at no more than 300 meters above tree level provided the ideal platform to appreciate the beauty of the place! Too bad there are no helicopters available for tourists anywhere in the peruvian rainforest. But the oil company execs and workers to get to enjoy awesome views every single day!
