AYP → LIM
Which side of the plane to sit from Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendivil Duarte Airport (Ayacucho) to Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning visual transition from the deep, rugged Andean valleys around Ayacucho to the dramatic Pacific coastline as you descend into Lima.
Search flights from AYP to LIM
Andean Cordillera
Breathtaking views of the jagged brown peaks and high-altitude plateaus immediately after takeoff.
Coastal Desert
Witness the dramatic change in terrain as the mountains give way to the arid, sandy coastal plains.
Pacific Coastline
Panoramic views of the ocean and the mist-covered cliffs of the Costa Verde during the descent.
Pachacamac Ruins
Spot the ancient archaeological site near the coast if the flight path tracks slightly south of the city.
Book an early morning flight (before 9:00 AM) to catch the Andes before clouds build up. The left side avoids the harsh afternoon sun glare when flying northwest and provides the best views of the ocean on final approach into Jorge Chávez.

Ayacucho Cityscape
A great view of the 'City of 33 Churches' as the aircraft climbs out of the narrow valley.
Cordillera Central
Distance views of higher, snow-capped peaks deeper in the central Peruvian mountain range.
Lima Metropole
A vast view of the sprawling urban density of Lima's eastern districts during the landing approach.
Callao Port
Close-up views of the shipping containers and vessels in Peru's main port just before touchdown.
The right side is excellent for seeing the sheer scale of Lima's urban expansion against the foothills. If you are flying in the late afternoon, the lighting on the mountains to the east is beautiful, though the city may be covered in 'garúa' (coastal mist).
