Tijuana-San Diego Border
Immediately after takeoff, witness the stark urban contrast and the international border fence stretching toward the Pacific.
Sierra de San Pedro Mártir
View the highest peaks of the Baja California peninsula, including Picacho del Diablo, often dusted with snow in winter.
Sea of Cortez Islands
As the plane crosses the gulf, look for the uninhabited volcanic islands and the deep turquoise waters of the 'World's Aquarium'.
Sierra Madre Occidental
Gaze upon the immense, rugged canyon systems and jagged ridges of mainland Mexico's primary mountain range.
Volcán de Colima
The highlight of the trip, this active stratovolcano and its sister peak, Nevado de Colima, dominate the horizon during arrival.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Sea of Cortez. During descent into Colima, keep your camera ready for the Volcán de Colima; the plane usually passes to the west of the peak, providing a direct view into the crater if the flight path allows.
