Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Comandante FAP German Arias Graziani Airport (Anta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft provides a breathtaking, front-row view of the Cordillera Blanca, the world's highest tropical mountain range, featuring the massive glaciers of Mount Huascarán.
Search flights from LIM to ATA
Lima North
Aerial perspective of the sprawling northern districts of the capital nestled against the Andean foothills.
Mount Huascarán
Peru's highest peak at 6,768 meters, appearing remarkably close as the plane enters the Callejón de Huaylas.
Cordillera Blanca Panorma
An unbroken chain of over 30 snow-capped peaks exceeding 6,000 meters in height.
Glacial Lagoons
Bird's-eye views of high-altitude turquoise lakes like Llanganuco tucked between the massive peaks.
Callejón de Huaylas
The deep, fertile inter-Andean valley where the airport is located, flanked by two mountain ranges.
The right side is the undisputed winner for this route. Most flights depart Lima in the morning; the sun will be behind you or overhead, perfectly illuminating the glaciers. Select a seat in the front third of the cabin (rows 1-7) to ensure the engine and wing do not obstruct your view of the massive Huascarán peak during descent.
Book Hotels in Anta
Pacific Coastline
Stunning views of the shoreline and the coastal cliffs of the Ancash region during the initial climb.
Lachay Hills
Observation of the unique 'Lomas' ecosystem where seasonal mist turns the desert hills green.
Cordillera Negra
A rugged, dark mountain range without permanent glaciers that provides a stark contrast to the snowy peaks opposite.
Lower Santa Valley
The winding path of the Santa River as it breaks through the mountains toward the ocean.
Choose the left side if you want to see the coastal desert transition and avoid the direct morning sun. It is also the best side for viewing the Pacific horizon and the massive 'sea of clouds' that often blankets the coast in the early morning.
