LCE → PEU
Which side of the plane to sit from Goloson International Airport (La Ceiba) to Puerto Lempira Airport (Puerto Lempira)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the rugged Nombre de Dios mountain range and the dense, untouched wilderness of the La Mosquitia rainforest. While the left side looks out over the Caribbean Sea, the right side provides constant visual interest with winding rivers, coastal lagoons, and the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve.

Pico Bonito National Park
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy stunning views of the jagged peaks and lush cloud forests of the Nombre de Dios range.
Rio Platano Biosphere
Fly over one of the few remaining large tropical rainforests in Central America, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Winding Jungle Rivers
Observe the intricate, snake-like patterns of the Patuca and Sico-Paulaya rivers as they carve through the jungle.
Laguna de Brus
View this massive coastal lagoon system which serves as a vital ecosystem for local indigenous communities.
Laguna de Caratasca
As you approach PEU, the aircraft flies over Honduras' largest lagoon, offering views of remote stilt villages.
The right side is essential for geography enthusiasts. Sit here to see the dramatic transition from high mountains to coastal wetlands. Morning flights (7 AM - 10 AM) offer the clearest views before tropical clouds build up over the mountains. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from LCE for the best mountain shots.

Follow the meeting point of the deep blue sea and the white sandy beaches of the northern Honduran coast.
Coastal Shipping Routes

Choose the left side if you prefer unobstructed views of the Caribbean horizon. The morning sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the turquoise sea without harsh glare. Watch for the distinct change in water color where the large rivers deposit sediment into the ocean.
