Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the rugged foothills of the Sierra Madre Occidental and the dramatic transitions between the lush highlands of Jalisco and the arid landscapes of Zacatecas and Durango.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Sierra Madre Occidental

Breathtaking views of the eastern edge of this massive mountain range, featuring deep canyons and jagged peaks.

⛰️

Cerro de la Bufa Area

As you fly over Zacatecas, look for the high-altitude terrain and rocky outcrops surrounding the historic silver mining region.

🏜️

Chihuahuan Desert Transition

Watch the landscape shift from green valleys to the stark, beautiful golden hues of the northern desert.

🌵

Semi-Arid Basins

Vast natural basins with unique geological formations and sparse vegetation typical of the Mexican Plateau.

Book an afternoon flight to see the Sierra Madre ridges highlighted by the setting sun. For the clearest views of the Zacatecas highlands, aim for a seat slightly behind the wing to capture the scale of the canyons and peaks.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Guadalajara Metropolitan Area

Excellent aerial views of the 'Pearl of the West' shortly after takeoff, including the dense urban grid and landmarks.

🚜

Los Altos de Jalisco

The famous red-soil region known for agave cultivation and traditional ranching landscapes.

🏘️

Aguascalientes Valley

A clear view of the city of Aguascalientes and its industrial corridors as the flight heads north.

🌿

La Laguna Agriculture

On approach to TRC, witness the impressive irrigation circles that create green oases in the middle of the desert.

Morning flights are ideal for the right side to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready during takeoff for the best views of the Guadalajara urban sprawl and the red agave fields of the highlands.
