Search flights from LIM to GRU
Cordillera Central
Dramatic snow-capped Andean peaks visible immediately after climbing out of Lima.
Amazon Canopy
The world's largest rainforest appears as an endless green sea for several hours of flight.
River Meanderings
Intricate, winding patterns of the Ucayali and other Amazon tributaries cutting through the jungle floor.
Tropical Cumulus
Spectacular cloud formations that often build up to massive heights over the rainforest interior.
Serra da Cantareira
Lush Atlantic Forest hills that provide a green buffer before the final descent into the city.
Choose a morning flight to avoid the convective cloud cover that typically forms over the rainforest by mid-afternoon. Sit well ahead of the wing to capture the transition from the arid Peruvian coast to the high Andean peaks without obstruction.
