Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a breathtaking perspective of the high Andes, featuring massive volcanic peaks and deep mountain valleys as you transition into the southern Peruvian highlands.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Andean Cordillera

Continuous views of the rugged mountain chain stretching across the horizon.

🌋

Arequipa Volcanoes

Visible peaks like El Misti and Chachani emerge as the flight approaches southern Peru.

🚜

Ica Green Valleys

Lush agricultural strips cutting through the arid desert landscape below.

🏜️

High Plateaus

The stark, high-altitude Puna landscapes characterized by unique geological formations.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the mountain faces. During the descent into Tacna, keep an eye out for the sharp contrast between the Andean foothills and the coastal plain. Avoid seats over the wing for the clearest view of the volcanoes.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🌊

Pacific Coastline

The dramatic point where the deep blue Pacific meets the stark coastal cliffs.

🚤

Paracas National Reserve

Aerial view of the reddish desert peninsula and the Ballestas Islands.

☁️

Coastal Camanchaca

The unique sea mist that frequently blankets the lower desert valleys.

🌵

Atacama Fringe

The northern reaches of the world's driest desert showing massive sand dune systems.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. It offers a great view of the coastal desert's vastness, but can be quite bright and hot if the sun is directly on the window during the midday hours.
