Amsterdam transit on the way to Lima
April 21 in the Netherlands ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
We arrived in Amsterdam in the morning. This is our transfer stop and from here we take a long 12h flight that we'll bring us to Lima where our adventure starts!

We are a little shaken by the travel and the 3AM wake up, but excited to be on our way to Perù.Read more
