LIM → PUJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Punta Cana International Airport (Punta Cana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the snow-capped Andes Mountains immediately after takeoff and superior vistas of the Dominican Republic's turquoise coastline during the final approach into Punta Cana.
Peruvian Andes
Breathtaking views of the high-altitude peaks, including the Cordillera Blanca, visible shortly after departing Lima.
Colombian Highlands
The lush, green, tiered ridges of the Colombian Andes as the flight passes over the northern part of the continent.
Magdalena River
The massive, winding river system that serves as Colombia's principal waterway flowing toward the Caribbean.
Santo Domingo
Distant views of the Dominican Republic's capital city as you fly along the southern coast of Hispaniola.
Punta Cana Reefs
Stunning aerial views of the barrier reefs and the vivid transition from deep blue to turquoise water upon arrival.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. For the best lighting on the Andes, a morning departure is ideal to avoid heavy shadows. During the descent into PUJ, the right side usually offers the best view of the island's white-sand beaches and luxury resorts as the plane banks for its final approach.
Costa Verde
Dramatic views of Lima's cliffs and the Pacific Ocean shoreline shortly after departure.
Sechura Desert
The arid landscape of northern Peru where the golden sands meet the deep blue of the Pacific.
Panama Isthmus
On clear days, the distant silhouette of Central America and the entrance to the Panama Canal may be visible.
ITCZ Formations
Spectacular cloud towers often form over the Caribbean waters as you cross the Intertropical Convergence Zone.
Caribbean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep azure waters as the flight transitions from South America to the Antilles.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy a sunset over the Pacific Ocean during the first leg of the journey. This side remains cooler as it faces away from the morning sun. Keep an eye out for the Guajira Peninsula as you leave the South American mainland.
