Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Mayor General FAP Armando Revoredo Iglesias Airport (Cajamarca)?
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.
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.
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.
