Acapulco Bay
Aerial view of the iconic crescent-shaped bay and the cliffs of La Quebrada shortly after takeoff.
Sierra Madre del Sur
Dramatic ridges and deep green valleys of the mountain range as the plane climbs toward the central highlands.
Nevado de Toluca
A close-up view of the Xinantécatl volcano, featuring its massive crater and often snow-capped peaks.
Toluca Valley
The expansive high-altitude plateau and the sprawling urban layout of Metepec during the final approach.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the crater of Nevado de Toluca. Morning flights are ideal because the sun is in the east, perfectly illuminating the western slopes of the volcano and the Acapulco coastline without causing glare on your window.

Laguna de Tres Palos
A vast freshwater lagoon near the airport, known for its mangroves and reflection of the morning sky.
Distant Volcanoes
On exceptionally clear days, look far to the east to spot the silhouettes of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl.
Lerma Industrial Zone

Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct sun, which will be on the left. This side provides a broader view of the central Mexican plateau and the distance toward the Valley of Mexico.
