Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez and its desert islands, followed by the dramatic western slopes of the Sierra Madre and a perfect view of the Peña de Bernal monolith on arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Sea of Cortez

Deep turquoise waters contrasting with the stark desert coastline of Baja and Sonora.

🏝️

Isla Tiburón

Views of Mexico's largest island and its rugged, uninhabited mountainous terrain.

🌄

Sinaloa Coastline

The dramatic transition from high sierra peaks down to the Pacific coastal plains.

🗿

Peña de Bernal

One of the world's tallest monoliths, clearly visible during the final descent into Querétaro.

The right side provides the best coastal scenery. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the Peña de Bernal monolith; it is usually prominent on this side as the plane turns for its final approach into QRO.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏜️

El Pinacate Reserve

Aerial views of the massive volcanic craters and lava flows in the Sonoran Desert.

🏔️

Sierra Madre Occidental

The rugged interior ridges of Mexico's most prominent mountain range.

🏗️

Zacatecas Highlands

High-altitude plains and historic mining regions surrounding the city of Zacatecas.

🌽

The Bajío Region

The fertile agricultural heartland of Mexico, visible as you enter the state of Guanajuato.

The left side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Keep an eye out for the unique circular volcanic craters of El Pinacate shortly after crossing the US-Mexico border area.
