Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers superior views of the high Andean peaks and a more comprehensive view of the Lima metropolitan area during the descent into Jorge Chávez International Airport.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Cordillera Central

Dramatic views of snow-capped peaks in the central Peruvian Andes during the mid-flight segment.

💧

High Altitude Lagoons

Crystal clear glacial lakes scattered across the puna at high elevations.

🏙️

Lima Cityscape

Panoramic views of the sprawling capital city, including the hills of San Juan de Lurigancho and the port of Callao.

🏞️

Rimac River Valley

The green corridor slicing through the desert mountains toward the sea as the flight nears its destination.

The right side is ideal for spotting high-altitude glacial lakes and snow-capped peaks. During the final approach, you will get an expansive view of the dense urban sprawl of Lima. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for capturing the textures of the mountain ranges.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Apurímac Highlands

Rugged mountain peaks and deep valleys surrounding Andahuaylas immediately after takeoff.

🏜️

Coastal Desert Transition

Dramatic views of the arid landscape where the Andes drop off into the coastal plains near Chincha.

🌊

Pacific Coastline

Striking contrast between the brown desert cliffs and the blue ocean as the plane turns north for the approach.

Sit on the left to witness the stark transition from the Andes to the Pacific coast. On morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the dramatic drop-off where the high mountains meet the coastal desert plains during the descent.
