Nevado de Toluca
A massive stratovolcano featuring two turquoise crater lakes visible on clear days shortly after takeoff.
Mexico City Skyline
Panoramic views of the capital's sprawling urban density and the skyscrapers of Reforma and Santa Fe.
Sierra de las Cruces
A lush, high-altitude mountain range that acts as the natural border between the Mexico City and Toluca valleys.
Querétaro City
Bird's-eye view of the historic colonial center and the industrial expansion of one of Mexico's fastest-growing cities.
El Bajío Valley
The fertile agricultural heartland of Mexico, characterized by a patchwork of green and gold fields.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the eastern sun. The climb out of MEX often provides a steep turn that gives an excellent perspective of the entire Valley of Mexico. Look for the Nevado de Toluca volcano roughly 10-15 minutes after departure.
