Belize Coastline
Aerial views of the Caribbean coastline and the Belize River delta immediately following takeoff.
Vaca Plateau
The rugged limestone hills and deep valleys that define the interior highlands of Western Belize.
Maya Biosphere Reserve
An expansive, unbroken carpet of emerald green jungle as the flight crosses into Guatemala's Petén region.
Lake Petén Itzá
Stunning views of the turquoise and deep blue waters of Guatemala's second-largest lake.
Flores Island
A spectacular aerial perspective of the circular, colonial island city just moments before touchdown.
Book an early morning flight to avoid the midday haze and the convective clouds that often build up over the jungle by the afternoon. Since this route is typically served by high-wing aircraft like the Cessna Caravan, your view will be unobstructed by the wings regardless of your row.
