PTY โ COR
Which side of the plane to sit from Tocumen International Airport (Panama City) to Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella Airport (Cordoba)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the most iconic landmarks of the South American continent, including the sprawling Amazon basin, the towering peaks of the central Andes, and the surreal white expanse of the Salar de Uyuni.
Panama City Skyline
A stunning view of the 'Dubai of the Americas' skyscrapers and the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal shortly after takeoff.
Andean Volcanic Chain
Breathtaking views of snow-capped Ecuadorian volcanoes like Cotopaxi and Chimborazo piercing the cloud layer.
Lake Titicaca
The deep blue waters of the world's highest navigable lake, visible on the border of Peru and Bolivia.
Cordillera Real
The majestic, glacier-covered peaks of the Bolivian Andes rising sharply from the Altiplano.
Salar de Uyuni
The world's largest salt flat appears as a massive, blindingly white sea of hexagons in southwestern Bolivia.
Choose a daytime flight to witness the dramatic transition from the humid tropics to the high-altitude deserts. Sit mid-cabin or forward to avoid wing obstruction when photographing the Salar de Uyuni. In the morning, this side provides excellent light for the Andes without the glare of the setting sun.
Pacific Coastline
The rugged and lush shoreline of Colombia and northern Ecuador as the flight heads south.
Atacama Desert Edge
The stark, Mars-like landscape of the world's driest desert where the mountains meet the Pacific.
The Puna Plateau
A high-altitude wilderness of colorful mineral deposits, dormant volcanic cones, and salt basins in northern Argentina.
Calchaquรญ Valleys
Green ribbons of vegetation and vineyards hidden within the red rock canyons of Salta and Catamarca provinces.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights, offering spectacular sunsets over the Pacific Ocean and the high desert. Keep an eye out for the unique 'Aerosoles'โdust clouds from the Atacama that create vivid orange and purple hues in the sky as you descend toward Cordoba.
