LIM → PIU
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Capitán FAP Guillermo Concha Iberico International Airport (Piura)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic contrast between the arid Sechura Desert and the towering peaks of the Andes mountain range.
Lima Metropolitan Area
Enjoy a sprawling aerial view of the capital's northern districts and the urban climb into the coastal hills.
Andean Cordillera
Spectacular views of the Western Andes, including the rugged foothills and distant snow-capped peaks on clear days.
Sechura Desert
The vast, undulating sand dunes and arid plains of one of the world's driest landscapes near the arrival in Piura.
Agricultural Valleys
Lush green strips of the Virú and Moche valleys create a sharp, beautiful contrast against the surrounding brown desert.
Cordillera Blanca
In high-altitude cruising, you may spot the distant glaciated peaks of the highest tropical mountain range in the world.
Sit on the right for the best geological views. Morning flights (7 AM - 10 AM) are ideal as the sun illuminates the Andes to the east. Keep your camera ready for the 'green oases'—the irrigated valleys that appear like stripes across the desert floor.
Isla San Lorenzo
The largest island in Peru is visible immediately after takeoff from Lima, appearing as a rugged outcrop in the Pacific.
Humboldt Current
Observe the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean where the nutrient-rich cold current meets the Peruvian coastline.
Huanchaco Coastline
Catch a glimpse of the famous surfing beaches near Trujillo, known for traditional reed fishing boats.
Chimbote Bay
One of the world's most productive fishing ports, often filled with industrial vessels and surrounded by Isla Blanca.
Pacific Sunset
On late afternoon flights, this side provides an unobstructed view of the sun dipping below the ocean horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It is the best side for viewing the sheer cliffs where the desert meets the sea. If flying at sunset, seats A and B offer a front-row seat to the horizon's color change.
