Lima Cityscape
A panoramic view of the vast urban sprawl of Lima and the surrounding desert hills upon takeoff.
Central Cordillera
Close-up views of the rugged, high-altitude ridges of the Andes as the plane crosses the continental divide.
Ucayali Oxbow Lakes
Spectacular sightings of the winding Ucayali river and its numerous crescent-shaped oxbow lakes.
Amazon Canopy
An endless, unbroken sea of deep green rainforest stretching as far as the eye can see.
River Confluence
The dramatic meeting of the dark Nanay River and the muddy Amazon River just before landing at Iquitos.
Choose a seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the river systems. The 'meandering' rivers are most visible during the final 30 minutes of the flight. Be aware that during the rainy season (December-May), cloud cover can be heavy, so early morning flights are highly recommended for the clearest views.

Ancón Coastline
Clear views of the rocky northern Lima coastline and the Pacific Ocean immediately after departure.
Andean Glaciers
Distant but impressive views of the snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Blanca and Central Andes.
Marañón River Valley
Views of the massive Marañón river as it snakes through the lower Andean foothills towards the jungle.
Tropical Cloud Forest
The mystical sight of clouds clinging to the steep, lush green ridges of the eastern mountain slopes.
Morning flights are best to avoid the glare of the sun which will be on the opposite side. This side is ideal for seeing the sharp transition from the arid coast to the high mountains. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the best mountain shots.
