Nevado del Huila
The highest active volcano in Colombia, often visible shortly after departure from Bogota.
Avenue of Volcanoes
A stunning sequence of Ecuadorian peaks including the perfectly conical Cotopaxi and the massive Chimborazo.
Cordillera Blanca
Home to Huascarán, the highest peak in Peru, featuring jagged white summits and turquoise glacial lakes.
Callejón de Huaylas
A high-altitude valley nestled between the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Negra.
Andean Highlands
Intricate patterns of high-altitude agriculture and rugged mountain terrain across central Peru.
Sit on the left (Window A) for a morning flight to see the sunrise illuminate the Andean peaks. This side is superior for mountain lovers; keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Ecuadorian volcanoes. Ensure your window is clean as the high-altitude glare can be intense against the snow.

The dramatic meeting point of the deep blue ocean and the arid South American continent.
Sechura Desert
Expansive golden sand dunes and moon-like landscapes of northern Peru.
Gulf of Guayaquil
The largest inlet on the Pacific coast of South America, showing the Guayas River delta.
Coastal Oases

Callao & Lima Bay

The right side (Window K/F) is best for late afternoon flights to catch a spectacular sunset over the Pacific Ocean. The approach into LIM often involves a loop over the ocean, providing a great view of the Lima coastline and the 'Costa Verde' cliffs just before landing. It is also generally less prone to direct sun glare during southbound morning flights.
