Rimac River Canyon
Watch the winding river carve deep, narrow paths through the rugged Andean foothills.
Cordillera Central
Impressive mountain massifs and jagged ridges that characterize the descent toward the coast.
High Altitude Lagoons
Small, turquoise glacial lakes nestled in the valleys between mountain peaks.
San Lorenzo Island
The largest island in Peru, visible near the port of Callao during the final landing sequence.
Callao Seaport
The industrial docks and ships anchored in the bay as you approach Jorge Chávez International.
Keep an eye out for the deep canyons carved by the Rimac River. On clear days, the turquoise high-altitude lagoons are a highlight. As the plane turns for its final approach into Lima, you will often get a panoramic view of the Callao islands and the bustling seaport. Note that Lima is often covered in 'garúa' (mist), so mountain views are generally better than city views.
