Which side of the plane to sit from Tingo Maria Airport (Tingo Maria) to Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the iconic 'Sleeping Beauty' mountain silhouette upon takeoff, followed by distant vistas of the snow-capped Cordillera Blanca and a stunning Pacific Ocean approach over San Lorenzo Island.
La Bella Durmiente
The famous 'Sleeping Beauty' mountain range silhouette that overlooks Tingo Maria, best seen during the initial climb.
Cordillera Blanca Views
On clear days, the distant, majestic snow-capped peaks of the Ancash region, including Huascarán, are visible to the northwest.
Coastal Desert Transition
Watch the dramatic change in landscape from the humid high jungle to the stark, arid coastal desert of the Pacific.
San Lorenzo Island
As the plane approaches Jorge Chávez Airport, you get a front-row view of the largest island in Peru and the Callao coastline.
Callao Port
Dozens of cargo ships anchored in the Pacific waiting to enter Peru's primary maritime gateway.
Choose the right side for the most iconic geographical landmarks. Book a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to ensure the best visibility of the 'Sleeping Beauty' and to increase your chances of seeing the distant Cordillera Blanca before afternoon cloud cover develops. Upon descent into Lima, this side is perfect for spotting the Pacific horizon and the dramatic cliffs of the Costa Verde.
Huallaga River Valley
Deep green jungle canyons and the winding path of the Huallaga River as the plane climbs out of the high jungle.
Central Andean Peaks
Rugged views of the central mountain ranges and high-altitude glacial valleys between Huánuco and Lima.
Eastern Lima Districts
Dense urban sprawl of the Rimac and San Juan de Lurigancho districts as the aircraft aligns for the final descent.
Sit on the left if you want to see the density of the Lima metropolis against the backdrop of the Andean foothills. During the rainy season (December to March), this side often provides dramatic views of lightning and cloud formations over the eastern mountains.
