LIM → TPP
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Cadete FAP Guillermo Del Castillo Paredes Airport (Tarapoto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more dramatic view of the urban landscape during takeoff from Lima and provides an exceptional vantage point for the serpentine Huallaga River and the lush transitions of the high jungle as you approach Tarapoto.

Lima Metropolitan Area
A sprawling view of Lima's northern districts and the urban coastline during the initial climb.
Andean Valleys
Direct views into deep mountain valleys and rugged ridges as the flight traverses the mountain range.
Huallaga River
The winding, chocolate-colored waters of the Huallaga River become visible during the descent into the San Martín region.
High Jungle Canopy
Dense, emerald-green forest stretches to the horizon as the plane prepares to land in Tarapoto.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent. As the plane approaches TPP, the terrain transforms into a vibrant green landscape. Try to book a window seat away from the wing to fully appreciate the river's bends. In the afternoon, this side receives the best natural lighting for photography of the jungle canopy.

Pacific Coastline
Striking views of the Peruvian coast where the desert meet the ocean immediately after takeoff.
Pasamayo Dunes
The massive sand dunes of the Pasamayo region visible as the plane gains altitude heading north.
High Andean Peaks
Distant glimpses of the glaciated peaks of the Cordillera Central and Cordillera Blanca if visibility is high.
Ceja de Selva
The 'eyebrow of the jungle' where high altitude clouds cling to the eastern slopes of the Andes.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. This side is excellent for seeing the stark contrast between the arid coast and the first ridges of the Andes. Watch for the 'Colchón de nubes' (carpet of clouds) that often covers the Lima coastline.
