Peru: Cuzco - 3,400m (11,154ft)
Ecuador: Quito - 2,800m (9,186ft)
Colombia: Bogota: 2640m (8,661ft)
Mexico City: 2,240m (7349ft)
Denver: 1,609 m (5,280 ft)
Calgary: 1,048 m (3,438 ft)

To put this in perspective, the highest peak in Alberta, Mount Columbia, is 3,747 m (12,293 ft).

I often thought Canada should have it's home games in Inuvik. That would be a real hardship for Caribbeans and Central Americans.

Canada's stupid. They always have games in Toronto or Vancouver and sometimes Edmonton. Have games in Winnipeg at least.

The only time Canada made the World Cup, they sealed the deal in St. John's Newfoundland! The Hondurans didn't even know how to get there!
