Thursday Flakes: Flying Basic Economy, Pink Prison Cells and Emmanuel the Emu

I return to Lima today after spending a full week in Huaraz and Carhuaz doing a few hikes in Peru’s beautiful Cordillera Blanca mountain range. I also took a trip through the second-highest tunnel in the world (Punta Olimpica) without knowing it was the second-highest tunnel in the world at 15,525 feet. It was cloudy that day so it was snowing by the time we reached the tunnel. This is an underrated part of Peru that not as many people get to visit in comparison to Lima or Cusco.

I usually book basic economy tickets when I travel.
