LIM → AYP
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendivil Duarte Airport (Ayacucho)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic rise of the Central Andes. As the plane climbs out of Lima, you will witness the urban sprawl transition into massive mountain ranges, deep river valleys, and snow-capped peaks.

Lima Metropolitan Area
Vibrant views of the San Borja and Surco districts as the aircraft banks east towards the mountains.
Cordillera Central
Spectacular sight of the rugged Andean peaks, often dusted with snow, rising sharply from the coastal plains.
Cañete River Valley
Aerial views of the deep canyons and winding river paths carved into the rocky terrain below.
Andean Terrace Farming
Look for the ancient and modern agricultural terraces lining the steep mountainsides.
Huanta Valley
A lush, green contrast to the surrounding arid peaks just before the final descent into Ayacucho.
Choose a morning flight for the clearest visibility before clouds typically gather over the peaks. The left side is particularly stunning for seeing the sun illuminate the eastern slopes of the Andes. Watch for the 'Apu' (sacred mountain) peaks that dominate the skyline during mid-flight.

Puna Grasslands
The high-altitude 'Pampas' landscape characterized by golden ichu grass and seasonal lagoons.
Ayacucho Cityscape

The right side is excellent for seeing the coastal desert meeting the mountain foothills.

Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight for a wide-angle view of the Ayacucho basin.
