Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to El Alto International Airport (La Paz)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring the vast expanse of Lake Titicaca and the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Real as you descend into La Paz.
Search flights from LIM to LPB
Lake Titicaca
The world's highest navigable lake, appearing as a deep blue sea amidst the high-altitude landscape.
Cordillera Real
A magnificent range of ice-capped peaks stretching toward La Paz, including Illampu and Ancohuma.
Puno
The gateway city to Lake Titicaca visible on the western shore just before crossing into Bolivian airspace.
Huayna Potosí
The distinctive pyramid peak that dominates the skyline during the final approach into El Alto.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunlight reflect off the glaciers of the Cordillera Real. This side is significantly more scenic during the second half of the flight as you approach the Bolivian border. Choose a seat behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the lake's vastness.

Costa Verde
Views of the dramatic cliffs and Pacific coastline immediately after takeoff from Lima.
Coastal Desert
The stark contrast of the arid Peruvian desert meeting the foothills of the Andes.
Misti Volcano
The iconic symmetrical cone of the volcano near Arequipa may be visible in the distance to the south.
The Altiplano
Wide-angle views of the high plateau, dotted with small indigenous settlements and winding rivers.
The right side offers great views of the desert and volcanoes. It is particularly good for afternoon flights when the sun is in the west, highlighting the textures of the Altiplano landscape and avoiding the direct glare often found on the left side during later hours.
