Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Alfonso Bonilla Aragon International Airport (Cali)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled view of the dramatic transition from Peru's coastal deserts to the snow-capped Andes and the lush valleys of Colombia.
Peruvian Coastal Desert
The stark, beautiful contrast of the arid desert meeting the Pacific coastline.
Cordillera Blanca
Glimpses of the highest tropical mountain range in the world, including the towering Huascarán.
Trujillo and Chiclayo
Aerial views of major Northern Peruvian cities and the surrounding archaeological heritage sites.
Andean Volcanoes
As you cross the border into Colombia, look for the impressive peaks of the Galeras and Cumbal volcanoes.
Cauca Valley
The lush green landscape and sugar cane plantations of the fertile valley during the descent into Cali.
The right side is significantly more scenic. Book a morning flight for the clearest views of the Andes, as clouds often form over the peaks by mid-afternoon. Keep your camera ready during the final 30 minutes for the descent into the vibrant Cauca Valley.
Pacific Ocean
Continuous views of the vast blue Pacific horizon throughout the northward journey.
Isla San Lorenzo
Peru's largest island, visible immediately after taking off from Callao towards the north.
Callao Shipping Lanes
A bird's-eye view of the cargo ships and maritime traffic entering South America's busy ports.
Ocean Sunset
If flying in the late afternoon, the left side offers front-row seats to the sun dipping below the horizon.
The left side is primarily oceanic. It is the better choice for evening flights to avoid direct sunlight glare and to witness the Pacific sunset. During takeoff from LIM, look out early to catch the coastline receding.
