Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an unparalleled view of the majestic Andes mountains, offering glimpses of snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys as you traverse north toward the highlands.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Andean Cordillera

Dramatic and rugged mountain terrain featuring jagged ridges and deep canyons throughout the flight.

❄️

Cordillera Blanca

Breathtaking distant views of Peru's highest snow-capped peaks, including Huascarán, visible on clear days.

💧

Glacial Lagoons

Small, vibrant turquoise lakes situated high in the mountain passes visible during the mid-flight segment.

🌄

Cajamarca Highlands

Rolling green hills and fertile agricultural terraces as the plane enters the picturesque Cajamarca region.

✈️

Mountain Approach

Thrilling close-up views of the complex mountain geography during the descent into the high-altitude valley.

The right side is superior for mountain enthusiasts. Book a morning flight for the clearest visibility, as afternoon clouds often obscure the highest peaks. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic Cordillera views.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Pacific Coastline

Clear views of the shoreline and the blue Pacific as the aircraft gains altitude after departing Lima.

🏜️

Coastal Deserts

The stark beauty of the Peruvian coastal desert, showcasing vast dunes and arid landscapes meeting the sea.

🏞️

Ancash Foothills

The dramatic transition zone where the dry coast gives way to the rising slopes of the northern mountains.

🌾

Lush River Valleys

Green ribbons of vegetation and agriculture cutting through the desert, marking the paths of rivers flowing from the Andes.

Opt for the left side for morning flights to see the sunlight glisten off the ocean. It is particularly interesting for observing the sharp contrast between the urban sprawl of Lima and the barren desert. Clouds are common near the coast, so hope for a clear morning.
