Pico de Orizaba
Mexico's tallest mountain and snow-capped volcano, Citlaltépetl, is the crown jewel of this route.
Papaloapan River
Large, winding river systems snaking through the tropical lowlands of Veracruz and Tabasco.
San Francisco de Campeche
The colorful, historic walled city visible along the western edge of the Yucatan Peninsula.
Mayan Jungle
A dense green carpet of limestone-based jungle stretching across the interior of the peninsula.
Riviera Maya
As the plane turns for its final approach into CUN, enjoy views of the white sands and the iconic '7' shaped hotel zone.
The right side is essential for seeing Pico de Orizaba; keep your camera ready within the first 15-20 minutes after departure from Puebla. During landing at Cancun, the right side typically offers a superior view of the turquoise Caribbean waters and the hotel zone's white sandbars. Afternoon flights may experience more sun glare on this side, so polarized sunglasses are recommended.
