LIMIGU

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior sequence of views, starting with the snow-capped southern Andes and ending with a high-probability sighting of the Iguazu Falls and the Itaipu Dam during the descent into Foz do Iguaçu.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Southern Altiplano

Stunning vistas of high-altitude plateaus and seasonal snow-capped summits of the southern Peruvian range.

🌋

Volcanic Horizon

On clear days, the distant cones of Peru's southern volcanoes near Arequipa are visible to the south.

🏜️

Red Soil Transition

Observe the earth changing color to deep red as the plane enters the Parana region of Brazil.

🌊

Iguazu Falls

One of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, often visible during the final banking turns into IGU airport.

⚡

Itaipu Dam

A massive hydroelectric structure spanning the Parana River, visible near the standard approach path.

The right side is essential for the approach into IGU. Landing on Runway 14 typically offers a breathtaking view of the Devil's Throat section of the falls. If flying during the late afternoon, the setting sun illuminates the mist of the waterfalls, creating vibrant rainbows visible from the window.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Lima Departure

Aerial views of the Jorge Chavez airport and the foggy coastline of Lima shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Andean Peaks

Witness the sharp, jagged transition from the coastal desert to the high mountains in the first 30 minutes.

🌳

Amazon Basin

An expansive view of the world's largest rainforest stretching toward the northern horizon for much of the mid-flight.

🐍

River Bends

The Ucayali and other Amazonian tributaries forming perfect oxbow lakes visible from high altitude.

🇧🇷

Tri-Border Area

Views of where the landscapes of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina begin to converge during descent.

Opt for the left side on morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft while viewing the Amazon canopy. Watch for the dramatic cloud forest belt where the Andes drop off into the jungle basin approximately 45 minutes into the flight.
