Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual journey, starting with the dramatic Peruvian coastline, followed by the most prominent volcanic peaks of the southern Andes and the sprawling wetlands of the Paraguay River basin.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Pacific Horizon

Panoramic views of the ocean and the mist-covered cliffs of Lima during the initial ascent.

🌋

Volcanic Altiplano

Direct views of the towering Nevado Coropuna and other snow-capped giants of the southern Peruvian Andes.

🧂

Salt Flats

Distant glimpses of the high-altitude white salt crusts of the Bolivian plateau.

🐍

Paraguay River

Spectacular views of the meandering river and its complex oxbow lakes during the descent into Asuncion.

The right side is best for photography, especially during the Andes crossing. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to see the river's massive bends near Asuncion. Afternoon flights on this side offer the best lighting for the mountains without the glare of the direct sun.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Cordillera Central

Impressive views of the rugged mountain spine as the plane climbs out of the Lima basin.

💧

Lake Titicaca

On clear days, the deep blue expanse of the world's highest navigable lake is visible to the north.

🌳

Gran Chaco Wilderness

The vast, emerald-to-brown canopy of the dry forest stretches to the horizon during the mid-flight cruise.

🌅

Andean Sunrise

For early morning flights, the left side receives the first golden light hitting the mountain ridges.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the high-altitude lakes. Keep your eyes peeled about 50 minutes after takeoff for the distant shimmer of Titicaca. As you approach Paraguay, watch for the transition from the arid Chaco to the lush, green landscapes of the eastern region.
