Pico Bonito National Park
Dominating the view right after takeoff, this iconic 2,435-meter peak is one of Honduras' most famous landmarks.
Comayagua Valley
Look for the vast, flat agricultural valley and the newly constructed Palmerola International Airport from a distance.
TGU Mountain Approach
Witness the steep, banking turns required to navigate the narrow mountain passes surrounding Toncontín Airport.
The right side is essential for the best view of Pico Bonito. Since the flight is very short (under 45 minutes), keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. Choose a morning flight for the clearest light on the mountainsides and to minimize turbulence common in the afternoon.

Caribbean Coastline
A final look at the turquoise waters of the North Coast and the port city of La Ceiba as the plane climbs.
Sierra de Sulaco
View of the dense, cloud-covered peaks of the Sulaco mountain range that divides the north from the interior.
Tegucigalpa Urban Sprawl
As the plane enters the TGU basin, get an expansive view of the city densely packed into the surrounding hillsides.
Sit on the left if you want a better perspective of the city's unique topography during the final descent. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the haze and clouds that often build up over the central highlands by mid-afternoon.
