LAN PERU TO LAUNCH LIMA-IGUAZU FLIGHTS
Lan is continuing its expansion within South America, with plans for new nonstop flights between two of the most popular destinations, the city of Lima, Peru, and Iguazu in Argentina, gateway to the breathtaking Iguazu Falls.
Subject to regulatory approvals, LAN Peru will introduce four weekly flights between Lima and Iguazu, commencing in January 2011.
A UNESCO World Heritage attraction, Iguazu Falls are located at the junction of the Iguazu and Parara Rivers, on the border of Argentina and Brazil.
Depending upon the water flow, Iguazu features as many as 270 waterfalls, the tallest of which is approximately 80 metres high – more than Niagara Falls on the US-Canada border.
Created by a geological fault some 200,000 years ago, the Iguazu Falls were first seen by Spanish explorers in 1541. Today, not only are they a major tourism drawcard for daylight and even full moon visits.
