HUU → LIM
Which side of the plane to sit from Alferez Fap David Figueroa Fernandini Airport (Huánuco) to Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Huallaga River valley upon departure and the vast expanse of Lima's metropolitan sprawl as you approach the coast.
Huallaga River Valley
Dramatic views of the winding river and steep green slopes immediately after takeoff from Huánuco.
Central Andean Peaks
Rugged, high-altitude terrain of the Cordillera Central with deep ravines and sharp ridges.
Andean Cloud Sea
Common sightings of thick white clouds trapped between the mountain valleys during the morning.
Lima Cityscape
Panoramic views of the densely populated districts like San Juan de Lurigancho during the descent.
Central Highway
Aerial perspective of the winding Carretera Central as it snakes through the Rimac valley toward the capital.
Book a morning flight (before 9 AM) to avoid the typical afternoon turbulence and to see the mountains before the daily cloud cover builds up. Sit several rows ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the steep valley ascent from HUU.
Cordillera Huayhuash
On clear days, look north to spot the distant snow-capped peaks of this iconic mountain range.
Coastal Desert Transition
A stark visual shift from the green Andes to the arid, brown desert hills of the Peruvian coast.
Ancón Bay
Aerial views of the northern seaside resort and its distinctive curved coastline during the approach.
San Lorenzo Island
Visible as the plane banks over the Pacific Ocean to align with the Jorge Chávez runway.
Pacific Horizon
The vast blue expanse of the ocean contrasting with the gray urban landscape of Callao.
The right side is excellent for photography during the final approach into LIM, especially if the plane circles over the ocean. Keep your camera ready as you pass the coastal desert hills; the contrast in colors is most vivid in the morning light.
