Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers unparalleled views of the high Andes, specifically the snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Blanca, which are among the most spectacular in South America.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏞️

Cajamarca Valley

The lush, green patchwork of the inter-Andean valley immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Cordillera Blanca

Breathtaking views of the highest tropical mountain range in the world with over 30 peaks above 6,000 meters.

❄️

Huascarán Massif

A glimpse of Peru's highest peak, Huascarán, recognizable by its massive twin summits.

💧

Glacial Lagoons

Small, turquoise-colored alpine lakes tucked into the high mountain crevices.

🏘️

Andean Foothills

The dramatic transition where the high mountains meet the sprawl of northern Lima.

Early morning flights (before 9:00 AM) are highly recommended to avoid the typical cloud buildup that obscures the high peaks by midday. Sit toward the front or middle of the cabin to keep the wing out of your mountain shots.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Cordillera Negra

The dark, non-glaciated mountains that run parallel to the snow-capped range to the east.

🏜️

Coastal Desert

The stark, yellow-toned desert landscapes as the plane begins its descent toward the coast.

🌊

Pacific Horizon

The vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean coming into view as the flight turns for its final approach.

🚢

Callao Harbor

Cargo ships and naval vessels anchored in the port area just before landing.

🏝️

San Lorenzo Island

A prominent view of the largest island in Peru located right off the coast of Lima/Callao.

The right side is ideal for those interested in the transition from mountain to sea. As the plane circles for landing at Jorge Chávez International, the right side often gets a better view of the shoreline and the islands off Callao.
