What a view! Flying in Peru

Tomy, an employee of UP, is currently traveling in Peru, including a photo safari with the new MAKALU 5 (EN/LTF B). We want to share the first impressions with you here. In his own words: “We headed south to escape the hustle and bustle of the city of Lima, and ventured deeper and deeper into the desert. The earth and sand became more varied, and you can experience the thrill of flying where the deserts meet the vast Pacific Ocean. This spectacular place offers endless possibilities for fun – flying barefoot, honing your groundhandling skills, or just relaxing and taking in the breathtaking views." 

We will certainly have more to report on Tomy's journey, so feel free to check out our Facebook, Instagram and YouTube pages.
