Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Alferez Fap David Figueroa Fernandini Airport (Huánuco)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the high Andean plateau, including the expansive Lake Junín and the deep canyons leading into the Huallaga valley.
Lima Sprawl
The dense urban grid of Lima disappearing into the arid Andean foothills shortly after takeoff.
Ticlio Pass
The legendary high-altitude railway route winding through steep rocky cliffs and deep gorges.
Lake Junín
Peru's second largest lake, a vast and shimmering wetland landmark on the high-altitude plateau.
Andean Plateau
The unique Puna landscape characterized by rolling grasslands and remote mining settlements.
Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff to capture the sudden appearance of Lake Junín; sit away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the deep valley descent.
Ancón Coastline
Aerial views of the northern bays and the arid Pacific coast during the initial ascent.
Cordillera Central
Glaciated peaks of the central Andes visible during the high-altitude cruise phase.
Huánuco Valleys
Lush green agricultural terraces as the aircraft descends into the subtropical mountain zone.
Morning flights are essential to avoid the afternoon cloud build-up that often obscures the mountain valleys and the sharp contrast of the peaks.
