LIM → CIX
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Capitan FAP Jose A Quinones Gonzales International Airport (Chiclayo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Andean foothills and the distant snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Blanca, contrasted against the stark coastal desert and lush irrigated river valleys.
Andean Foothills
The massive, rugged slopes of the Andes rise abruptly from the coastal plains throughout the flight.
Cordillera Blanca Peaks
On exceptionally clear days, the distant glaciated summits of the world's highest tropical mountain range are visible.
Irrigated River Valleys
Striking green corridors like the Santa and Moche valleys cut through the monochromatic desert landscape.
Coastal Desert Dunes
Intricate wind-blown patterns and massive sand dunes typical of the northern Peruvian arid zone.
Moche Valley Geometry
The grid-like agricultural patterns and archaeological sites surrounding the city of Trujillo.
Choose the right side for morning flights to see the Andes illuminated by the rising sun. For the best view of the Cordillera Blanca, check the weather forecast for Huaraz; clear skies inland are necessary to spot the high peaks. Seats ahead of the wing (Rows 1-10) offer the most unobstructed view of the mountains.
Pacific Ocean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Pacific as the aircraft climbs out of the Lima coastal fog.
Ancón and Huacho Bays
Clear views of the northern Lima coastline, featuring sheltered bays and small fishing ports.
Isla Blanca
A prominent white-guano island located just off the coast of the industrial city of Chimbote.
Huanchaco Coastline
The famous surfing and traditional fishing shores of Trujillo, visible just before the final descent.
The left side is superior for evening flights departing LIM, as it provides a front-row seat to the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. During the 'Garúa' (coastal mist) season from June to October, views may be limited until the aircraft climbs above the cloud layer.
