Isla Saona
A breathtaking view of the protected tropical island off the coast of the Dominican Republic shortly after takeoff.
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
The world's highest coastal mountain range, often visible rising directly from the Caribbean Sea.
Avenue of Volcanoes
Dramatic views of snow-capped Ecuadorian peaks like Cotopaxi and Chimborazo piercing the cloud layer.
Sechura Desert
The stark, monochromatic beauty of northern Peru's coastal desert where the dunes meet the Pacific Ocean.
Costa Verde
The iconic cliffs of Miraflores and the port of Callao visible during the final descent into Lima.
The right side is essential for seeing the Andean volcanoes and the Pacific coastline. Note that between May and October, Lima is often covered in 'La Garúa' (thick mist), so focus on the mountain views earlier in the flight before the descent into the cloud layer.

Punta Cana Shoreline
Last views of the Dominican Republic's white-sand beaches and turquoise resort lagoons during the initial climb.
Sierra de Perijá
The rugged mountain range forming the natural border between Colombia and Venezuela.
Amazonian Fringes
Dense, deep-green canopy of the upper Amazon basin stretching toward the horizon in southern Colombia.
Cordillera Blanca
Distant but majestic views of the highest tropical glaciers in the world located in central Peru.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and heat. This side is better for observing the vastness of the tropical rainforests before the plane crosses into the high Andean plateaus.
