  2. What they put a real surface on it? Half the fun is gone :) I was in a plane landing there nearly 20 years ago.

    Been here a few times flying to Pasto. Not as dramatic however also a nice approach. Probably also has the worst airport to city road in the world.

    That is both fascinating and terrifying. The local pilots must be very experienced.
