Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the snow-capped Andean peaks and the isolated Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta massif rising directly from the Caribbean coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Cordillera Blanca

Glance at the stunning glaciated peaks of Peru's highest mountains, including Huascarán.

🌿

Upper Amazon Fringe

See the transition where the high Andes mountains drop off into the dense cloud forests of the Amazon basin.

🗻

Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

View the world's highest coastal mountain range, featuring snow-capped peaks just miles from the sea.

🏝️

ABC Islands

Depending on the specific flight path, you may spot the turquoise waters surrounding Aruba or Curaçao.

A morning flight is highly recommended for the right side to see the sunrise hitting the Andean glaciers. Watch for the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta approximately 75 minutes before landing; its height makes it visible even above the clouds.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Pacific Coastline

The dramatic desert cliffs of northern Peru meeting the ocean provide a stark and beautiful contrast.

🚢

Gulf of Guayaquil

A wide view of Ecuador's largest estuary where the Guayas River meets the sea.

🌴

Chocó Rainforest

Look down upon the lush, deep green canopy of one of the world's most biodiverse and wettest regions.

💧

Caribbean Crossing

Deep azure waters stretch to the horizon as the plane leaves the South American continent.

This side is preferred for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Keep your eyes peeled for the distant silhouette of the Panamanian coastline during the mid-flight segment.
