The only South America "trip" we have is Lima. Everything else is turns. Most of them red-eyes.

Personally, Lima is my least favorite city in South America, but I enjoy going there simply because it offers an international layover, something that I miss. The hotel is fairly decent, the breakfast is included and you're right in the best part of town, Milaflores.

The redeye on the way back is kinda brutal, unless you go down there during the winter months. Then it's a short layover with a day flight back.

If the rumor of Manaus turns out to be true we'll be seeing another layover, so that would be great.

But I do envy my United 73 buddies when they post pictures of their Bogota layovers...
