TPP → LIM
Which side of the plane to sit from Cadete FAP Guillermo Del Castillo Paredes Airport (Tarapoto) to Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior transition from the lush Amazonian foothills across the high snow-capped Andes, culminating in a spectacular coastal approach over the Pacific Ocean.
Distant Snow Peaks
Glimpses of the massive glaciers of the Cordillera Huayhuash and Cordillera Blanca to the west.
Coastal Desert Transition
The dramatic change from green mountains to the arid, sandy landscapes of the Peruvian coast.
Pacific Horizon
The vast blue expanse of the ocean appearing as the plane crosses the coastal range.
Ancon Bay
Beautiful views of the northern Lima coastline and beaches during the descent phase.
Islands of Callao
San Lorenzo and El Fronton islands are clearly visible just before touchdown at LIM.
For the best experience, book a seat on the right side for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Ensure you sit forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the high-altitude glacial peaks as you cross the Andes.
Huallaga Basin
Dense tropical canopy and the winding Huallaga River visible immediately after takeoff.
Cordillera Central
Rugged, emerald-green mountain ridges as the plane climbs out of the jungle.
High Andean Plateaus
Remote agricultural terraces and high-altitude settlements tucked between peaks.
Lima Urban Sprawl
The massive scale of eastern Lima and the Rimac Valley visible during the final descent.
The left side is particularly rewarding for morning flights when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the Andes. It provides the best view of the deep river valleys that define the transition between the Amazon and the highlands.
