Sea of Cortez
Aerial views of the coastline where the desert meets the rich, turquoise waters of the Gulf of California.
Tiburón Island
Mexico's largest island, visible as a massive desert landmass surrounded by the sea.
Sierra Madre Occidental
The heart of Mexico's most iconic mountain range, featuring deep canyons and jagged ridgelines.

San Luis Potosí Historic Center
During the final descent, catch glimpses of the city's colonial architecture and industrial expansion.
The right side is spectacular during late afternoon flights as the setting sun illuminates the ridges of the Sierra Madre. Look out for the coastline roughly 30-45 minutes into the flight. For the best photography, try to sit behind the wing to capture the scale of the canyons.
