Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the rugged Andes foothills, distant volcanic peaks, and the stark beauty of the Peruvian coastal desert.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Arequipa Volcanoes

Spot the silhouettes of El Misti and Chachani rising in the distance to the east.

🏜️

Nazca Plateaus

Fly over the high-altitude desert plains famous for the ancient Nazca lines.

🏔️

Andean Cordillera

Witness the dramatic jagged ridges of the western Andes range stretching northward.

🌵

Ica Sand Dunes

Massive, wind-sculpted dunes surrounding the Ica valley and the Huacachina region.

🌿

River Oases

See the bright green strips of agriculture cutting through the brown desert landscape.

Morning flights are ideal for the right side to avoid glare and see the mountains clearly. Keep your camera ready for the volcanic peaks early in the flight and the massive sand dunes as you pass the Ica region.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Pacific Horizon

Continuous views of the vast Pacific Ocean coastline throughout the flight.

🚢

Port of Ilo

See the industrial port and coastal architecture of Ilo shortly after departure.

🏖️

Paracas National Reserve

The striking contrast where the desert peninsula meets the ocean, visible near Pisco.

🏝️

Isla San Lorenzo

The largest island in Peru appears on the left during the final descent into Jorge Chávez.

Opt for this side on late afternoon flights to witness the sun setting over the ocean. The descent often follows the shoreline, providing a clear view of the marine layer and coastal fog typical of the Lima region.
