Which side of the plane to sit from El Alto International Airport (La Paz) to Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic, providing an upfront view of the massive snowy peaks of the Cordillera Real and the full expanse of Lake Titicaca shortly after takeoff.
Cordillera Real
Stunning close-up views of snowy peaks like Huayna Potosí and Illimani immediately after takeoff.
Lake Titicaca
Aerial perspective of the world's highest navigable lake, showing its deep blue basins.
Isla del Sol
The legendary Incan island visible in the southern part of Lake Titicaca.
Glacial Valleys
Deeply carved valleys and turquoise glacial lakes nestled within the Peruvian Andes.
Lima Urban Grid
A massive urban sprawl appearing as you break through the coastal mist near Jorge Chávez International.
Sit on the right for morning flights to see the sun lighting up the Andean glaciers. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from El Alto for the best mountain shots. This side offers the most consistent landmarks throughout the flight.
Altiplano Expanses
Vast high-altitude plains stretching toward the horizon with unique geological formations.
Highland Agriculture
Unique patchwork of high-altitude farming plots visible on the plateau.
Volcanic Vistas
Distant views of the volcanic peaks near the Arequipa region as you fly west.
Pacific Coastline
The striking contrast where the brown desert meets the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean.
Coastal Cliffs
Dramatic sheer drops where the Peruvian desert falls into the sea during the descent into Lima.
Ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Pacific. During descent, look for the abrupt change where the high Altiplano drops toward the coastal plains. Clouds often cover Lima, so most views will be mid-flight.
