Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Tingo Maria Airport (Tingo Maria)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular aerial view of the Lima metropolitan area during takeoff and the most dramatic perspectives of the snow-capped Central Andes peaks throughout the mid-flight.
Lima Cityscape
Unmatched views of the vast urban sprawl of Lima, including the dense districts of San Martin de Porres and Rimac.
Snow-capped Peaks
Views of the glaciated summits of the Cordillera Central, often reaching over 5,000 meters above sea level.
Andean Lagoons
Spot bright turquoise and deep blue glacial lakes nestled within the high-altitude mountain passes.
Cloud Forest Transition
Watch the dramatic change as the rocky mountains disappear under a thick, emerald blanket of clouds and forest.
The right side is best for seeing the higher, glaciated peaks of the central range. Choose a morning flight for the clearest visibility, as clouds often accumulate over the mountains by midday. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the deep valley descent.
Pacific Coastline
Brief views of the Callao coastline and the Pacific Ocean as the plane climbs and turns inland.
Arid Foot-hills
Observe the stark contrast of the dry, brown coastal desert meeting the first rise of the Andes.
La Bella Durmiente
View the iconic 'Sleeping Beauty' mountain range silhouette as the plane prepares for its final descent into Tingo Maria.
Huallaga Valley
Lush views of the dense high-jungle vegetation lining the western banks of the Huallaga River.
Sit on the left if you are specifically interested in capturing the 'Sleeping Beauty' mountain profile upon arrival. For morning flights, this side also benefits from having the sun behind the plane, reducing glare for photography of the jungle canopy.
