Amazon Rainforest
Vast, unbroken stretches of the world's largest rainforest immediately after takeoff from Iquitos.
Ucayali River
Spectacular views of the massive, winding river loops and oxbow lakes that define the Amazon basin.
Central Andes
Dramatic views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Huayhuash as you cross the mountain range.
Lima Metropolitan Area
A sprawling view of the dense urban landscape of Lima as the plane prepares for its final approach.
Costa Verde
The iconic green cliffs and Pacific coastline of Lima's Miraflores and Chorrillos districts.
Book a morning flight to catch the sun illuminating the jungle canopy. Keep your eyes peeled 10-15 minutes after takeoff for the intricate loops of the Amazon's tributaries. As you descend into Lima, the left side provides the best view of the dense urban layout nestled against the Andean foothills. Avoid flights during the 'Garua' season (May-October) if you want clear views of the ground in Lima, though the Andes remain clear.

Marañón River
Views of the northern tributaries that merge to form the mighty Amazon River.
Cordillera Blanca
Distant views of Peru's highest peaks, including Huascarán, visible to the northwest.
Coastal Desert
The stark, dramatic transition from the lush Andes to the barren, moon-like coastal desert plains.
Port of Callao
A bird's-eye view of Peru's primary maritime gateway and the busy shipping lanes.
San Lorenzo Island
The largest island in Peru, appearing as a volcanic silhouette in the Pacific during the final turn.
The right side is excellent for observing the stark contrast between the lush jungle and the barren coastal desert. During the final approach, if the plane loops over the Pacific Ocean to align with the runway, you will get a clear view of San Lorenzo Island and the industrial landscape of Callao. This side is also better for avoiding direct afternoon sun glare when flying south.
