Sierra de Juárez
Dramatic rocky ridges and high-altitude pine forests immediately east of the Tijuana takeoff zone.
Sea of Cortez
The sparkling turquoise waters of the northern Gulf of California where the Colorado River delta meets the sea.
Sierra Madre Occidental
Breathtaking views of the deeply weathered canyons and jagged peaks as the flight crosses into the state of Chihuahua.
Samalayuca Dunes
Stunning golden sand dunes south of Ciudad Juarez, appearing like a sea of sand during the aircraft's descent.
