Which side of the plane to sit from General Ignacio P. Garcia International Airport (Hermosillo) to General Roberto Fierro Villalobos International Airport (Chihuahua)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides superior views of the dramatic Sierra Madre Occidental peaks and the deep, rugged canyons that characterize the transition between Sonora and Chihuahua.
Sierra Madre Occidental
Dense pine-oak forests covering the high-altitude plateaus of the mountain range.
Northern Copper Canyon
Stunning vistas of the northernmost ravines and deep valleys of the Barranca del Cobre system.
Basaseachi Area
Rugged terrain surrounding the famous national park, featuring massive rock walls and deep cliffs.
Chihuahuan Highlands
The gradual descent into the rolling ranch lands and cattle country of central Chihuahua.
This is the 'photographer's side' for this route. Afternoon flights are spectacular as shadows define the deep canyon walls. Look closely for the mountain switchbacks and remote logging roads that crisscross the high Sierra.
Sonoran Foothills
The arid landscape as the flight ascends from Hermosillo into the high desert.
Northern Sierra Ridges
Jagged mountain formations stretching toward the Arizona-Mexico border region.
Janos Biosphere
Distant views of the high-altitude grasslands known for its bison herds and unique ecology.
Sit on this side during morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers a broader view of the vast northern desert expanses and is generally smoother for viewing the horizon.
