ANF → LIM
Which side of the plane to sit from Andrés Sabella Gálvez International Airport (Antofagasta) to Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled vantage point of the Andes mountain range, featuring snow-capped volcanoes, high-altitude salt flats, and the dramatic textures of the Atacama and Peruvian deserts.
Search flights from ANF to LIM
Atacama Desert
Mars-like red landscapes and ancient geological formations of the world's driest non-polar desert.
Andean Volcanoes
A continuous chain of massive, often snow-capped peaks including El Misti and Chachani near Arequipa.
High Plateau Salt Flats
Distant shimmering white patches reflecting the sun, typical of the Altiplano geography.
Deep Valleys
Dramatic erosion patterns and river valleys cutting through the arid Peruvian coastal range.
The Garúa Cloud Bank
The striking visual boundary where the desert meets the thick coastal fog layer common in Peru.
Cordillera Occidental
Vibrant geological layers of the western range of the Andes visible clearly at cruising altitude.
The right side is the clear winner for scenery. For the best experience, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the mountains from the east, highlighting the textures of the volcanoes. Avoid seats directly over the wing (usually rows 12-22) to ensure a clear view of the mountain peaks. Keep your camera ready as you cross the border from Chile into Peru, as the mountain density increases significantly.
