Search flights from AGU to CUN
Pico de Orizaba
Mexico's highest peak and dormant volcano visible in the distance to the south across the central plains.
Laguna de Términos
The massive, biologically rich tidal lagoon near Ciudad del Carmen with its unique brownish-blue gradient.
Mayan Jungle
An endless carpet of green tropical forest stretching across the states of Campeche and Quintana Roo.
Cancun Hotel Zone
The world-famous '7' shaped sandbar and luxury resorts surrounded by the Caribbean and Nichupté Lagoon.
Great Mayan Reef
Vivid coral structures and white sandbars visible during the final banking maneuvers into CUN.
The right side is the 'money side' for the landing. Most flight paths into CUN approach from the south or bank over the water, providing a direct view of the Hotel Zone. For the best photography, avoid seats directly over the wing which can be obscured by engine heat haze.

Sierra Madre Oriental
Rugged mountain ridges visible shortly after takeoff from the high-altitude Aguascalientes plateau.
Gulf of Mexico Coastline
Panoramic views of the turquoise waters as the flight crosses the Bay of Campeche.
Holbox Island
Distinctive sandbars and shallow emerald waters of the northern Yucatan coast during the initial descent.
Puerto Progreso
The world's longest pier extending into the Gulf is often visible as you transition into the peninsula.
Sit on the left for softer morning light when flying east. This side is ideal for spotting the northern coastline of the Yucatan and the transition from deep gulf blue to shallow turquoise. Watch for the 'Pink Lakes' of Las Coloradas near the end of the cruise phase.
