Search flights from LIM to TRU
Peruvian Coastal Desert
Witness the stark, arid beauty of the narrow desert strip that separates the ocean from the mountains.
Andean Foothills
View the massive slopes of the Andes as they begin their steep ascent from the coastline into the clouds.
Irrigated Valleys
See the bright green strips of the Huaura and Supe valleys, where agriculture thrives amidst the desert sands.
Chimbote Cityscape
Get a clear view of the industrial bay of Chimbote, one of the world's busiest fishing ports, and the nearby Isla Blanca.
Cordillera Blanca Peaks
On exceptionally clear days, look past the foothills to see the snow-capped peaks of the distant high Andes.
The right side is the clear winner for geographic diversity. Book a morning flight for the best visibility of the mountains, as clouds tend to build up over the Andes by mid-afternoon. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic desert-to-mountain landscapes.

San Lorenzo Island
Immediately after takeoff from LIM, enjoy views of Peru's largest island and the El Frontón prison ruins.
Pacific Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, which are particularly stunning during late afternoon 'sunset' flights.
Offshore Shipping Lanes
Spot cargo ships and fishing vessels waiting to enter the major ports of Callao and Chimbote.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to catch the sunset over the Pacific. However, be aware that the morning coastal 'garúa' (mist) can often obscure the view until you reach higher altitudes.
