Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Inca Manco Capac International Airport (Juliaca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of the high Andes peaks and the first, most expansive glimpse of Lake Titicaca during the descent into the Juliaca basin.
Callao Coastline
Aerial views of the Pacific Ocean and the La Punta peninsula immediately following takeoff from Lima.
Cordillera Central
Dramatic snow-capped peaks of the central Andean range as the flight reaches cruising altitude.
Glacial Lagoons
Hidden turquoise lakes nestled within the high mountain passes of the Huancavelica region.
Andean Altiplano
The transition into the vast, golden high-altitude plateau that defines the southern Peruvian landscape.
Lake Titicaca
Breathtaking views of the world's highest navigable lake appearing on the horizon during the final approach.
Sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Morning flights (06:00-09:00) offer the crispest air and best lighting for the Andes. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the Lake Titicaca reveal.
Lima Urban Sprawl
A panoramic view of the dense urban districts of Lima and the surrounding coastal hills.
Coastal Garúa
The unique sea of clouds often found clinging to the base of the Andes near the Pacific coast.
Western Cordillera
Arid and rugged mountain slopes showing the stark geological transition from the coast to the highlands.
High Puna
Expansive views of the high-altitude desert and grasslands typical of the Puno region.
Juliaca Cityscape
A close-up view of the red-brick architecture and bustling streets of Juliaca just before touchdown.
The right side is excellent for viewing the 'sea of clouds' phenomenon early in the flight. In the afternoon, this side provides beautiful golden hour lighting over the Altiplano, though the sun may be direct at times.
