Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of Monterrey's iconic peaks during departure, a clear look at San Luis Potosí mid-flight, and the spectacular Peña de Bernal monolith during the descent into Querétaro.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🧗

Cerro de la Silla

The unmistakable saddle-shaped mountain that serves as the symbol of Monterrey is often visible shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

San Luis Potosí

The flight path typically passes just east of this major colonial and industrial city, offering a clear view of its urban grid.

💎

Peña de Bernal

One of the tallest monoliths in the world; it stands out as a massive stone sentinel during the final approach into Querétaro.

🌄

Huasteca Canyon

Stunning views of the vertical limestone walls and narrow valleys located just outside Monterrey's metropolitan area.

Request a window seat on the right for the best chance to see Peña de Bernal, which is the visual highlight of this route. For late afternoon flights, the sun sets to the west, casting a beautiful orange glow on the Sierra Madre peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Sierra Madre Oriental

Dramatic views of the jagged limestone ridges and deep canyons that define the eastern Mexican landscape.

🌲

Cumbres de Monterrey

Aerial perspective of the high-altitude pine forests and protected ecological zones south of the city.

🌵

Altiplano Potosino

Vast stretches of the high-altitude desert plateau featuring unique arid flora and mining settlements.

🏭

Querétaro Industrial Hub

A view of the sprawling aerospace and automotive manufacturing parks that surround the QRO airport.

Sit on the left during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun reflecting off the wings. This side provides a better angle for viewing the remote, rugged terrain of the Sierra Gorda transition zone as you approach the Bajío region.
