LIM → BOG
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to El Dorado International Airport (Bogota)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a breathtaking perspective of the spine of the Andes, featuring the highest peaks of Peru and the famous volcanic avenue of Ecuador.
Cordillera Blanca
Spectacular sightings of Peru's snow-capped peaks, including Huascarán, the country's highest mountain.
Avenue of Volcanoes
Aerial views of iconic Ecuadorian peaks like Chimborazo and the perfectly conical Cotopaxi.
Marañón River
The dramatic winding path of one of the principal sources of the Amazon River.
Cordillera Oriental
The rugged and high-altitude landscape of the Eastern Range as you descend into the Bogotá savanna.
Bogotá Cityscape
Panoramic views of the sprawling Colombian capital and the Monserrate hill upon final approach.
The right side is superior for mountain lovers. Book a morning flight to minimize the chance of 'thermal clouds' that often hide the Andean peaks by midday. Ensure your window is clear, as the high-altitude ice crystals on the glass can blur the distant volcanic silhouettes.
Pacific Horizon
Expansive views of the Pacific Ocean as the plane ascends from the Lima coast.
Isla San Lorenzo
A clear view of the largest island in Peru immediately after takeoff from LIM.
Sechura Desert
The stark contrast of the arid coastal plains of northern Peru against the ocean blue.
Magdalena River
Deep green valleys and the winding Magdalena River as you enter Colombian airspace.
Choose this side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Pacific. On the approach to Bogota, this side often sees the lush greenery of the western ridges, but views can be obstructed by frequent cloud cover in the afternoons.
