Isla Cerralvo
A striking desert island visible shortly after departure as the plane climbs over the Sea of Cortez.
Copper Canyon Foothills
Views of the southern reaches of the Sierra Madre where deep ravines and canyons begin to form.
Durango Highlands
High altitude plateaus and volcanic soil patches that create a patchwork of earth tones.
Cerro de la Silla
The world-famous saddle-shaped mountain that serves as the symbol of Monterrey, best seen on descent.
San Pedro Skyline
Modern skyscrapers and luxury developments of the San Pedro Garza Garcia district during the final approach.
The right side is essential for seeing the iconic Cerro de la Silla mountain. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight; the setting sun illuminates the eastern face of the Sierra Madre Oriental, creating deep shadows and high-contrast views of the canyons near Monterrey.

Gulf of California
Expansive views of the deep blue waters and white-capped waves separating the peninsula from the mainland.
Northern Sierra Madre
Dramatic views of the rugged, high-altitude ridges of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range.
Chihuahuan Desert
Aerial view of the vast, arid landscapes and unique geological formations across Durango and Coahuila.
Apodaca Industry
The industrial heart of northern Mexico visible just before landing at MTY airport.
Sit on the left if you want to avoid the direct southern sun for the majority of the flight. This side provides a clearer view of the vast desert basins of the Bolson de Mapimi. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography without glare from the Gulf.
