Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Gulf of California's islands, the high peaks of Baja California, and the dramatic deep canyon systems of the Sierra Madre Occidental as you cross into mainland Mexico.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Sierra de San Pedro Mártir

The highest mountain range in the Baja peninsula, featuring Picacho del Diablo.

🏝️

Islands of the Gulf

Excellent views of Isla Ángel de la Guarda and Isla Tiburón surrounded by deep blue waters.

🕳️

Copper Canyon Region

Look down into the massive volcanic fissure systems and deep ravines of the Sierra Madre.

🌊

Sea of Cortez Coastline

The dramatic meeting point of the turquoise Gulf and the rocky Sonoran coastline.

⛪

Zacatecas Plateaus

The high altitude, reddish-brown landscapes of central Mexico as you approach AGU.

The right side is ideal for capturing the iconic islands of the Sea of Cortez. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so use a polarized filter if taking photos. Choose a seat behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the canyons during the descent toward the central highlands.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌵

Gran Desierto de Altar

Stunning views of the vast sand dunes and volcanic craters in the Pinacate Biosphere Reserve.

🌊

Colorado River Delta

The intricate drainage patterns where the Colorado River meets the northern Gulf of California.

🏙️

Hermosillo Cityscape

Aerial perspective of the Sonoran capital surrounded by arid mountain peaks.

🏔️

Northern Sierra Madre

Continuous views of the rugged ridges and high plateaus of the northern continental range.

🚜

El Fuerte Valley

Lush agricultural patches contrasting sharply with the surrounding desert landscape.

Sit on the left if you enjoy seeing the stark contrast of desert dunes and the US-Mexico border line shortly after takeoff. For morning flights, this side will be in the shade, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
