🏔️

Iztaccíhuatl

The 'Sleeping Woman' volcano provides a stunning snowy backdrop during the departure climb.

🌋

Guatemalan Highlands

A dramatic line of volcanoes including Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango visible along the Pacific coast.

🌊

Pacific Coastline

Continuous views of the surf-beaten shores of El Salvador and Nicaragua.

⛴️

Panama Canal

Excellent views of the Pacific entrance and ships waiting to transit the Bridge of the Americas.

🏠

Bogota Savanna

During the final approach into BOG, enjoy panoramic views of the high-altitude plateau and the sprawling city.

The right side is premier for seeing the Panama Canal. Choose this side for midday or late afternoon flights. Keep your camera ready about 3.5 hours into the flight for the crossing into Colombia.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌋

Popocatépetl

Immediate views of the active smoking volcano just south of Mexico City shortly after takeoff.

💧

Lake Nicaragua

A massive freshwater lake featuring the twin-volcano island of Ometepe visible from high altitude.

🚢

Panama City Skyline

Glimpses of the dense skyscrapers of Panama City as the flight transits the isthmus.

⛰️

Cordillera Central

Rugged, high-altitude ridges of the Colombian Andes as you enter South American airspace.

🏙️

Medellín Surroundings

The deep valleys and coffee-growing regions surrounding the Antioquia department.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harshest sun glare. This side provides a better angle for the initial ascent out of MEX to see Popocatépetl if the flight path tracks slightly east.
