Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Simón Bolívar International Airport (Caracas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the towering Andes peaks in Peru, the vast transition into the Amazon basin, and the rugged coastal mountains of Venezuela during the descent into Caracas.
Search flights from LIM to CCS
Cordillera Blanca
Breathtaking views of the highest peaks in Peru, including Huascarán, visible shortly after departure.
Amazon Frontier
The dramatic transition from the rugged Andes to the dense, green canopy of the upper Amazon basin.
Bogotá Plateau
On clear days, the high-altitude savanna and mountain ridges surrounding the Colombian capital.
Los Llanos
The vast, flat tropical grasslands spanning the border regions of Colombia and Venezuela.
Serranía del Ávila
The dramatic coastal mountain range that separates Caracas from the sea during the final descent.
This is the premier side for mountain photography. Sit here for the best views of the Andes; early morning flights are recommended to avoid the common afternoon cloud build-up over the mountains. During descent into Caracas, keep your eyes peeled for the steep green slopes of the Coastal Range, which offer a stunning backdrop to the airport.

Pacific Coastline
Aerial views of the arid Peruvian coast and the Pacific Ocean immediately after takeoff from Lima.
Sechura Desert
The expansive golden sands of northern Peru as the flight moves toward the equator.
Magdalena Valley
Possible views of the lush tropical valleys and river systems in central Colombia.
Caribbean Horizon
The deep blue waters of the Caribbean Sea as the plane maneuvers for its final approach into Maiquetía.
Choose this side if you prefer ocean views and sunset silhouettes if flying in the late afternoon. For the landing at CCS, this side often catches the last glimpses of the Caribbean coastline before the final turn toward the runway. It is generally cooler due to less direct sun exposure on northbound daytime flights.
