Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the high Andean peaks, the deep valleys of the Altiplano, and the best perspective of the Lima cityscape upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Asuncion Skyline

A clear view of the Paraguay River and the downtown area immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Cordillera Real

Glimpse the massive snow-capped peaks of the Bolivian and Peruvian Andes towering above the clouds.

💧

Lake Titicaca

On clear days, see the shimmering blue waters of the world's highest navigable lake to the north.

🏘️

Cusco Region

Aerial views of the rugged terrain and deep mountain valleys surrounding the historic Inca heartland.

🌇

Metropolitan Lima

An expansive view of the Peruvian capital as the plane aligns for its landing at Jorge Chavez.

Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the western sun. The transition from the flat Chaco to the sudden verticality of the Andes is the most impressive moment; this occurs roughly 60-80 minutes into the flight. Be prepared for potentially cloudy conditions over Lima, but the mountain peaks usually remain visible above the cloud layer.

🏜️

Gran Chaco

Observe the vast, semi-arid lowland natural region that covers the western half of Paraguay.

🌋

Puna de Atacama

View the high-altitude volcanic plateaus and salt flats near the border of Argentina and Chile.

🌊

Pacific Coastline

The dramatic meeting of the world's driest desert and the Pacific Ocean as you turn north toward Lima.

⛰️

Nevado Coropuna

A distant look at one of the highest volcanic complexes in the Peruvian Andes.

Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Pacific. During the final approach into Lima, you will see the rugged cliffs of the Costa Verde and the Pacific islands. Keep an eye out for the distinct line where the desert meets the sea, which is especially sharp near Ica.
