Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the majestic Andean mountain range and the interior landscapes of Colombia and Ecuador, providing more consistent geological interest than the open ocean.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

Stunning views of the Atlantic coastline and the skyline of Fort Lauderdale and Miami during the initial climb.

🇨🇺

Central Cuban Plains

Aerial perspective of the agricultural heartland and northern cays of Cuba as the plane transits the island.

🏔️

The Andes Mountains

Breathtaking views of the rugged Colombian peaks as the flight paths typically track along the spine of the continent.

🌋

Ecuadorian Volcanoes

On clear days, the snow-capped summits of high-altitude volcanoes like Cotopaxi can be seen in the distance.

🏙️

Lima Cityscape

A massive urban sprawl stretching from the mountains to the sea, best viewed during the final descent into LIM.

For the best mountain views, select a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Flights departing FLL in the morning will have the best lighting for the Andes, while evening flights offer a beautiful alpenglow on the peaks. If the flight arrives in Lima after dark, this side provides the best view of the city's vast grid of lights.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🐊

The Everglades

Views of Florida's famous wetlands and the intricate water systems of the southern peninsula shortly after takeoff.

🚢

Panama Canal

A frequent highlight as the flight crosses the Isthmus of Panama, offering a glimpse of the canal and waiting cargo ships.

🌊

Pacific Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue Pacific Ocean, particularly striking during the late afternoon as the sun begins to set.

🏜️

Peruvian Coastal Desert

The stark, arid contrast where the dry Sechura Desert meets the Pacific surf in Northern Peru.

🏝️

San Lorenzo Island

The largest island in Peru, located off the coast of Callao, often visible during the standard approach pattern into Lima.

The right side is ideal for spotting the Panama Canal, so keep your camera ready roughly 2.5 to 3 hours into the flight. If you are flying during sunset, the right side is the undisputed winner for dramatic orange and purple horizons over the Pacific. During the landing into Lima, keep an eye out for the dramatic sea cliffs of the Costa Verde.
