IGU → LIM
Which side of the plane to sit from Cataratas International Airport (Foz Do Iguacu) to Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the high-altitude Andean peaks and provides the best chance to spot Lake Titicaca and the transition from the Amazon basin to the mountains.
Cordillera Oriental
Stunning views of the snow-capped Eastern Range of the Andes as the flight crosses into Peruvian airspace.
Lake Titicaca
On clear days, the deep blue expanse of the world's highest navigable lake is visible to the north.
Glacial Lagoons
Numerous turquoise glacial lakes nestled within the high Andean valleys during the mid-flight cruise.
Lima Urban Sprawl
A massive view of the Peruvian capital's dense urban landscape contrasted against the arid coastal hills.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. Try to book a seat in the front or rear of the cabin to avoid the wing obscuring the view of the dramatic Andean ridgelines. Morning flights are ideal for this side to have the sun behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the peaks.
Iguaçu Falls
Dramatic aerial views of the world's largest waterfall system immediately after takeoff from IGU.
Gran Chaco
The vast, sparsely populated dry forests and alluvial plains spanning across Paraguay and Northern Argentina.
Southern Altiplano
View of the high-altitude plateau and distant volcanic peaks of the southern Peruvian Andes.
San Lorenzo Island
The largest island in Peru, visible in the Pacific Ocean during the final approach into Lima.
Sit on the left for the best view of the falls during the initial climb out of Foz do Iguaçu. This side is also preferable for sunset flights, as you will witness the sun dipping into the Pacific Ocean as you descend into Jorge Chávez International Airport.
