Search flights from LIM to MDE
Cordillera Blanca
Breathtaking views of the highest tropical mountain range in the world, featuring Huascarán, Peru's tallest peak.
Chimborazo Volcano
The point on Earth closest to the sun; this massive inactive stratovolcano is a highlight of the Ecuadorian leg.
Cotopaxi Volcano
One of the world's highest active volcanoes, identifiable by its nearly symmetrical snow-covered cone.
Quito Highlands
Aerial views of the high-altitude Andean valleys surrounding the Ecuadorian capital.
Colombian Central Cordillera
Deep green valleys and jagged ridges as you approach the Antioquia department and Medellin.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. For the best photography of the snow-capped peaks, choose a morning flight when the air is clearest and the sun illuminates the eastern faces. Sit well forward or behind the wings (typically rows 1-10 or 25+) to ensure an unobstructed view of the volcanoes. Seasonal clouds are common in the afternoon, so early departures are highly recommended.

Pacific Coastline
Striking views of where the arid Peruvian coastal desert meets the deep blue Pacific Ocean shortly after takeoff.
Isla San Lorenzo
A clear view of the largest island in Peru located just off the coast of Callao during the initial climb.
Gulf of Guayaquil
The vast estuary system where the Guayas River meets the ocean, marking the transition from desert to tropical greenery.
Chocó Rainforests
Dense, lush tropical canopy of the Colombian Pacific lowlands, known as one of the wettest places on Earth.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh direct sunlight reflecting off the ocean. This side is also preferred for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Pacific. During the descent into MDE, you will see the rugged Western Cordillera of Colombia.
