Virú and Chao Valleys
Look for the stark, vibrant green contrast of these irrigated agricultural valleys against the surrounding yellow desert sands shortly after takeoff.
Cordillera Negra
Observe the westernmost range of the Andes, where rocky peaks and deep canyons begin to rise sharply from the coastal plains.
Pasamayo Dunes
As you approach the Lima region, the massive sand dunes of Pasamayo create a dramatic landscape where the desert meets the sea.
Northern Lima Suburbs
During the descent, get a bird's-eye view of the sprawling urban density of districts like Puente Piedra and Comas.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sun illuminating the textures of the Andes foothills. The contrast in colors is most vivid before the midday haze sets in. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes into the flight for the best mountain vistas.
