Amazon Fringe
Vast stretches of the southern Amazonian rainforest visible during the mid-section of the flight over Brazil and Bolivia.
Lake Titicaca
The world's highest navigable lake, appearing as a massive blue jewel nestled within the Altiplano mountains.
Cordillera Real
Spectacular views of glaciated peaks and some of the highest summits in the central Andes range.
Atacama/Sechura Desert
The stark, martian-like landscape where the mountains meet the arid coastal plains of Peru.
Lima Metro Area
A sweeping view of the Peruvian capital's unique position between the desert hills and the sea.
The right side is the prime choice for seeing Lake Titicaca, typically visible about 3.5 to 4 hours into the flight. For the best photography, select a morning flight to avoid the glare of the afternoon sun reflecting off the water. The contrast between the glaciers and the coastal desert is most striking in clear weather, which is common during the dry season (May to September).

Bird's eye view of the massive urban sprawl of South America's largest metropolitan area shortly after takeoff.
Paraná River
Crossing one of the world's longest rivers, vital for the hydroelectric power of the entire region.
Gran Chaco
Expansive views of the flat, semi-arid lowland natural region of the Rio de la Plata basin.
South Andean Ranges
Dramatic snow-capped peaks and high-altitude plateaus as you enter the southern Peruvian Andes.
Pacific Horizon
Deep blue views of the Pacific Ocean as the aircraft maneuvers for the approach into Jorge Chávez International.
Choose the left side if you enjoy seeing the transition from the Brazilian interior to the Pacific coast. This side is particularly beautiful during afternoon flights when the sun is behind the plane, illuminating the mountains. Watch for the dramatic change from the green lowlands to the grey-brown Andean peaks.
